THE HORRIBLE THANG: Burpee-O’Clock-Alypse

YHC kicked off the morning with an interval timer set to chime every 60 seconds, signaling a simple yet brutal plan: 5 burpees every minute on the minute for 45 minutes. In between each set of 5 burpees, PAX were graciously given the “opportunity” to catch their breath with a resting exercise called out by YHC. These included light stretching to start, followed by multiple rounds of a Free People’s Run, squats, lunges, Lt. Dans, bear crawls, crab walks, and LBCs.

The soundtrack for this beatdown was none other than Dave Matthews’ magnum opus, Crash, which eventually transitioned to Under the Table and Dreaming after some lag in the latter half of the album. This change tested not only our physical endurance but also our mental toughness.

Overall, there were absolutely no groans or complaints. Each call of “five burpees” was met with cheers and applause (or something close to that), and a new record of 225 burpees was set. YHC is hopeful that future F3 PAX will take on the challenge to push that record to 230 and beyond.

COT: the word “legacy” has been bouncing around my head lately. Tomorrow is not guaranteed for any of us. So if today is our last day here or our last day of good health, what will our legacy be?

PAX perform 10 jump squats followed by a shuttle run to center service line, court #2 doubles sideline, court #2 center service line, and court #2 far doubles sideline. Drop one rep and repeat all the way down to 1 Jump Squat and a shuttle.

Sticking around the courts, PAX circled up for everybody’s favorite jerk, Jack Webb: Merkins and Air Presses in a 1:4 ratio. We took this one all the way up to 10:40, and everyone LOVED it.

Mosey to Sunnyside Hill

Lining up with previous partner at the base of the hill, P1 performed LBCs while P2 sprinted up to the flag. RnR x 3.

Since we didn’t get here alone, one last AYG with everybody together up the hill before a mosey back to the startex.

One ten-second good morning to close things out!

MOLESKINE:
It was truly an honor to lead this workout. I had no idea what the heck I was getting into 10 years ago, but I’m glad I didn’t let that stop me. Really grateful for the all the men that have stepped up to lead along the way. Whether it’s been as a workout Q, an AOQ, or a position at the regional level, you are making me and countless others better for it. I don’t take that for granted. Nor should you.

Can’t wait to see what the next decade holds!

Also, a special thanks to all of you who brought coffee, baked goods, and other refreshments for extended coffeeteria. What a great way to end!

BULLHORN:
Prayers for job changes, job searches, ailments, and recoveries.
