14 of F3 Nashville’s finest PAX paid an early morning visit to Bomber and arrived ready to engage in a beatdown which was delivered with gusto by YHC.
PAX: CB, Cowbell, Crablegs, Crawlspace, Dfrost, Drago, Hi-Viz, Michelin Man, Natural Ice, Paddywax (FNG), Red Skull, Right Said, T-Cell
QIC: Cunning Linguist
Gloom Factor: Medium rare.
INTRO:
At 0529, YHC did that One Minute Warning thing.
DISCLAIMER:
This occurred without a hitch at 0530.
Then, YHC led the PAX on a mosey in the direction of the greenway (which is the exact opposite direction of where most Qs start us off in, for those who are visualizing this in their heads), and after approximately a one minute mosey, we stopped off onto the grass for the Warm-O-Rama.
WOR:
15 x SSH
12 x LBAC
12 x rLBAC
15 x Seal Claps
12 x WMH
15 x SnL Squats
Next, YHC led the PAX on a much longer mosey along the greenway and toward the church on 51st and Wyoming, where we finally stopped at a gazebo area for the Thang.
THANG:
Dora,1,2,3
100 x Merkins
200 x LBCs
300 x Squats
Partner up and Partner 1 does the exercise, Partner 2 does a run to the stop sign at 51st and Wyoming.
Lather, rinse, repeat until all PAX are done.
Kudos to Michelin Man for jumping in and contributing to YHC’s group totals due to finishing up early. That Michelin Man, he’s a solid dude. Meanwhile, I am about as solid as Jell-O.
Anywho…
F3 Nashville’s finest PAX completed Dora in (dare I say) record time, and seeing as how the men were craving even more from their workout, YHC led the PAX down Wyoming and then a sharp right onto 48th delivered us to the side entrance to Bomber and near the shovelflag/STARTEX.
At this point, YHC called out 2 rounds of DIDs.
DIDs
15 x Dips
10 x Incline Merkins
5 x Decline Merkins
Of note: While his caused a few groans of displeasure in the moment, it was well worth the effort based on the text and Slack messages I have received since this morning.
At this point, we had approximately 6 minutes left for Mary.
MARY:
20 x Flutter Kicks
12 x Hello Dolly
15 x LBCs
15 x Alabama Prom Dates
10 x Boxcutters
1 Minute High Plank — side note, if you wear the new F3 Nashville shirt and flip around after a few minutes of Mary, you will see the new logo imprinted in your own sweat on the concrete. Who says we can’t all be artists?!?!
15 x Freddie Mercury
10 x Reverse Boxcutters
End Workout at 0615.
MOLESKINE:
Always an honor to lead the fine men of F3 Nashville. I cannot overemphasize the appreciation I have for you allowing me to lead, and I welcome any and all feedback on how to improve my Q skills.
Matthew 6:5-13 was the prayer that YHC closed us out with. For me, it’s worth revisiting on daily basis.
BULLHORN:
-Life is extremely tough for just about everyone right now — let’s all make a concerted effort to re-connect with those who we have not heard from in a while. Even a text message can make a huge difference these days!
-Let’s all extend a welcome the newest member of F3 Nashville, Paddywax! Great work today, sir!
-To those interested in learning more about brewskis, BOLO for a Side Straddle Hops event in the not-too-distant future. Connect with Bareback on Slack for the deets.
This is your Cunning Linguist, signing off!
