A glorious morning greeted 8 excited Pax this morning for the best-darn Saturday morning AO in the #dashpax.  Upon arrival, YHC noticed many other vehicles belonging to fellow F3 Pax.  The #breaksomething guys were out there somewhere.  Running and running fast.

At the appointed hour of 6:30, we circled up for the following:

DISCLAIMER – all four major points nailed.

Ripple was then asked to pick a number between 1 and 20.  He selected 9.  Would come in handy later in the workout.  Thus we began:

Warm-0-rama

YHC wanted to have the longest warm-o-rama ever recorded.  Not sure if it was accomplished, but certainly was the longest one YHC has Q’d.

In parking lot:  SSH x 5 IC

Mosey to Green trail map.  At trail map:  Copperhead squats x 10  IC (YHC messed up, should have been 5)

Mosey back to parking lot.  In parking lot:  Merkins x 5 IC

Mosey to speed bump on way to camping area.  At speed bump:  Arm swirly things (forward and reverse) x 5 IC

Mosey to parking lot.  Continue this pattern, increasing reps to x 10 IC.  (Except for Copperhead squats, did 5 IC to make sure we had symmetry).

Upon completion of last of exercises at speed bump, mosey back to parking lot.  15 minutes of Warm-o-rama.  Nice.

As we finished, Harden and Katniss were spotted beginning a nice 10k ish run.  Go get ’em! #OH4TB

THE THANG

Mosey to main intersection near front of entrance to Tanglewood.  Continue to go straight through the gates and down the hill to the open field.  Huckleberry expertly leaped over the gates.  Fingers and YHC wisely decided that was a foolish act and would have only resulted in broken teeth, if we were lucky.

Upon arrival at fields, mosey to the one on the right.  Pax counted off by ones, 1 though 8. For:

Round 1

Pax #1 would call out an exercise.  Pax #1 would then proceed to run to series of trees approximately 40 yards away.  While Pax #1 was running, the rest of the Pax would perform called exercise, AMRAP.  When Pax #1 returned, Pax #2 would call exercise.  Continue this pattern through all 8 Pax.

Exercises called included, but were not limited to:  Freddie Mercs, Burpees, Jack Reachers, Mountain Climbers, the one named after the UNC basketball player (plank to elbows and back) and 3 more that YHC cannot recall.

Round 2 

For this round, Pax #1 would call exercise.  Then he would perform called exercise, AMRAP.  Rest of Pax would then run to same trees and back.  Continue through all 8 Pax.  Most Pax called the same exercises as round 1.  Have to play fair.

Round 3

For this round, Pax #1 would call exercise.  All Pax would then perform 9 reps OYO (remember Ripple had picked this number earlier….)  8 exercises were called.  Not sure which ones.  Usual fare though.

Mosey up to main road, turning right and head to shelter.  Upon arrival at shelter, grab some table for:

Erkins x 10 IC

Dips x 10 IC

Mosey lap around parking lot

REPEATO

At this point the #breaksomething Pax were spotted as they were headed back to the parking lot.  Time to get moving!

We took the back trail towards the parking lot.  YHC was passed by some elite guys…Vig and Balco.  Looking strong.

Arrived at parking lot with 1 minute to spare.  Close enough.  DONE!!!

NMM

Beautiful does not begin to describe the AO this morning. Deer and geese were spotted along our journey.

Serious coordination among some of the Pax.  Huckleberry and Splash with matching shirt/shorts combos.  Touch Me Not and YHC also with matching outfits.

Logged 3.32 miles this morning.  Per Garmin watch, burned 982 calories.  Workout described as “overachieving.”  Huh.

Finishing with the other Pax was impressive.  Nice to see some guys that normally do not workout together.

As COT was being completed, it was noted that Bluto was nowhere to be seen.  A search party was organized, but Bluto was soon spotted.

YHC pointed out that I now know that the majority of the Pax are physically capable of driving West.  Looking forward to seeing all of you at #BBBC.  See Schneider to Q.

Announcements/Prayer Requests

Several expansion opportunities coming up.  See Starfish if interested in volunteering.

#Dashpaxruckers tomorrow morning. BAM will send out route.

Plunger took out the consolidated group.

Great work by everyone this morning.  Thanks for opportunity Fingers.  Have a great day!
