WARMUP: F*ck that.

THE THANG: My wife had certain…. Expectations…. Around my return home this morning. But Castle Coffeteria ft. Pep was a highlight of my pre-2.1 days. So we had two options:

1. A more relaxed 45 minutes with lots of room for mumble chatter.
2. An aggressive 30ish minute beatdown that allows for more coffeteria but you might be coughing up blood.

We opted for the latter. Sets of EMOM burpees, sprints, ISO abs. It sucked.

MOLESKINE: Discussion on angsty bands, what constitutes an F3 workout, and Catholic perspectives on human sexuality.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Brewsday, AO School, TN Tussle.

COT: Careers for Pep, Chunks and Stutter.

Enjoyed the extra early coffeteria. Really grateful for this morning. In this season the 2nd F means a lot. Many thanks to Strutter for letting me bend the rules a little bit.

Quick mosey to Sunnyside Mansion to show them that we’re all Men from U.N.C.L.E. This phase of the workout honors Jesse “Uncle” Wilker who flew in from Charlotte, NC to teach a handful of us about F3 and prep us for launch approximately 3650 days ago.

Partner up. With P1 running a lap around Sunnyside Mansion, P2 performs reps of the following exercises until they reach 100 cumulative for each.

Mosey to Tennis Courts

Line up along court #1 doubles sideline for some shuttle runs. 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.

COT/BOM

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!
