Gave this new AO a try a couple weeks ago, since I knew my Q time was on the schedule – It’s a good spot with a lot of possibilities for pain. I don’t remember volunteering to Q though… Anyway, glad it is “lighter” this time of year because, FYI:
Slip and fall accidents account for more injury deaths of older Americans than any other form of injury. In total, over 15,000 old male geezers die annually from slip and fall injuries close to 2 million are treated in emergency rooms for injuries suffered as result of a slip and fall.
I was feeling pretty good about myself attending/Qing F3 this morning. Up early and kinda proud of myself. Pulled into the parking lot early and saw ~5 cars. What? Well, the ED guys are at it again – they started a long run at 3:30 AM! I am so worried about going to the ED now – smart guys, but their judgement and lack of sleep is a concern. I think ED stands for Exercise Dysfunction – this nutty group then happily, cheerfully and with an abundance of verbal repartee enjoyed what I thought was a tough beatdown.
Since we had an FNG – F3 mission given and proper disclaimers.
Warmarama:
SSH, IST, Partner quad stretch, The Cheesesteak, Arm Circle things, Whirly and Abe Vigoda – Must confess a genetic Q-fail – cadence is not my strong suit – lack of focus and timing are major obstacles to mastering this skill – And blocking out Pita’s soft voice and soothing comments.
The Thang:
Moseyed to track with a detour as the Young Guns got out front – thought we should do some partner work. Devised a Dora plan and changed the exercises and numbers. That fact did not slip by Spamalot. Sorry, my math skills are lacking too. Good to partner with #Burlap and #RedEye.
Partners alternated completing 200 merkins, 300 Lunges (try to touch the ground) and LBCs while partner two ran a lap around the track. After completing Dora #1 and a Bevo 10 count, we started Dora #2. Not a PAX-pleaser – I really enjoyed that reaction. We cut our run around the track to half a lap and “only” did a “few” hand release burpees #CrowdPleaser. Darn, look at the time. In fact, the Q did not lead the group back to the parking lot. The mutiny was full blown and Pita was leading the way. I think he was anxious for the COT.
BTW – does it wear on anyone else that the young bucks are fit and fast and so nice. Almost hard to dislike them. Almost.
COT:
Welcome FNG, Jordan Hunter – forevermore known as #Carcass. Remember to order F3 gear. Don’t neglect missing your F3 workouts while on vacation – lot of opportunities and see the larger F3 picture.
Pray for immigrant families to be reunited. Local lady going in for breast cancer tests – possible reoccurrence. Also, BMOC’s sister? just had a double mastectomy and reconstruction as a preemptive measure.
YHC and Q was honored to lead and take us out. F3 is a gift – use the encouragement to lead all you come in contact with love.
Red Eye – Pita threw the keys in the woods. You can use my Maglite to find them.

Spamalot
In a word, this workout was….excessive. Excessive in number of reps in DORA, excessive in humidity, and excessive in the number of HIMS. Ok, maybe not excessive in the last category.
Burlap
Welcome Carcass, is a new Emergency Medicine resident (?) that Splash declared as dead meat. Originally from Arizona and attended ASU, we went with the dead meat lying in the desert and landed on Carcass. This is shorter to day than Horse with no Name.
Didn’t really enjoy this beatdown. There was a lot not to like. There was not a mutiny, exactly — just a group anticipation of the Q’s directing us to return to the starting point.
Spicoli
Wow! Looks excessive. YHC needs to make it out to this AO. I’ll avoid Thistle…
