THE THANG: 3 mile mosey with periodic merkins and core

We took off for a mosey and as we hit the trail, Robert Frost’s words echoed in my mind – two paths diverged in a yellow wood. But unlike the poet, there was no luxury of contemplation. With the last shirtless weekend of summer calling I ditched my plan and pushed the PAX through the 3 mile loop around McCabe.

Three miles of sweat and glory lay ahead, punctuated by surprise stops for merkins and core-busters. The Playlist? Pure pontoon rock – think yacht rock’s rowdier country cousin. As we pushed through, letting the six catch up at each pit stop, we sculpted our summer bodies with every step.

MOLESKINE: No one was planning on running that far, and everyone pushed through it! Do Hard Things

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Big shout out to Strings and Marcus Wilcock (Homer) joining us down range from the UK, and also Linus from Tacoma WA!

growruck.com/event/gte-55/ is Sept 20-22 if you can make a last minute trip across the pond

COT: Prayers were lifted!

Thank you men of bomber and DintyMoore for inviting me to lead. It was great to come back to the original AO where I first joined F3 4 years ago!

Q: CubCadet
PAX: Papa Bear, Tim the Toolman, Pep, Blueprint, Wet Wipes, Hedwig, Black Lung
FNGs: None
COUNT: 8 (4 RESPECTs)
CONDITIONS: Thick

WARMUP: 30 seconds of waiting around to see if anything interesting was going to happen. CubCadet said “I’ll Q bc I hate those ones where each person does something for 5 minutes.” Three minutes later, Black Lung strolled up and said “I’ll Q because I think I am supposed to.” Sensing a burpee heavy Q, CubCadet said “oh no you don’t”…and the rest is Bomber history as archived on slack. .

THE THANG:
– 11s up and down the hill (Papa Bear picked monkey humpers at the bottom). The top was squats and merkins, not to be combined then confused with……
– Moved to the picnic tables. 2 sets of 15 dips, 15 incline merkins, and 10 step-ups each side.
– Bernie to start. Dealer’s choice, up to 25 reps. Ended at 6:13 much to the discontent of Black Lung

MOLESKINE: Nothing insightful beyond discussing the etymology of “respect.” Michelin Man we missed you, but hope to catch you next time. Couldn’t replicate your enthusiasm.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Check Slack

COT: Prayers for Wet Wipes Mom, struggling with dementia, and his Dad as primary caregiver. Hedwig and his wife expecting first 2.0. Big week of tests. Blueprint who had been away for a while but really great to have him back. Apologies, as I do feel like I am forgetting someone we prayed for. Thank you for the chance to lead Bomber, the most RESPECTed AO in Nashville. Rumor is Black Lung is up next Friday, where I’m sure I’ll be doing a lot of (modified) burpees.
