Mosey to Hanes Park Entrance for Intimidator. 

Directions were spelled out in sufficient detail as follows: Partner up, partner A heads to the left, to go clockwise around the block while partner B heads to the right, to go counterclockwise around the block. Each time you meet your partner, stop for one of the exercises as follows:

• 10 bropees
• 15 hand release booyah merkins
• 20 squats
• 25 partner assisted pickle pounders

YHC heard some MC that the partner had all the downhill sections so we repeated the series with each partner traveling in the reverse direction. Problem solved.

YHC heard a request to backwards mosey, the Q abides, so we backwards moseyed to the wall of the YMCA where everyone assumed the people’s chair while each PAX performed 6 jack reachers, moving down the line. 

As time was running short, we moseyed back to the parking lot for Mary, which consisted only of The Thistle.

Part 3: Painstation Beatdown and Run back to the Estate

PAX: Van Gogh, Burns, Former FNG Pullout, $5 Footlong, Lazy Boy, Turnover, Huckleberry, Touch Me Not, Honey Badger, Splash

• Run back to Reynolda with 5 pain stations along the way. Exercises at stations will depend on what muscles we have left and how much MC there is flying around. 
• Random intervals during the running portion there will be a whistle. Any pax in front of the 6 will stop and complete the called exercise. This will help keep the pax together for the journey home. 
• The final station (stop 5) will be at the parking lot at Reynolda- one final push before we get doughnuts.  This will consist of something that every pax hates…..and it’s not burpees

Prayer Requests:  Gucci’s friend and military associate recently passed leaving a 2 year old without a Mom and all of the Pax with health issues, injuries, and struggles pyhsical and spiritual spoken and unspoken.

Announcements: Coffeeteria at Dough Joe’s afterwards.

NMM:  The overnight torrents had prepared the AO perfectly for the 6 year anniversary of the W-S Dash Pax.  A large group had gathered and were catching up, as the CSAUP men strolled in like Drama Queen had written the script himself.  They appeared around the corner carrying the shovel flag and toting cinder blocks strung up on poles as if carrying game back from a successful hunt.  T-claps to these men that carried 1,000 pounds from the Estate only stopping along the way for some Burns and VG beatdown.  After a quick warm up, YHC lead the pax to the tennis counts for a few jump squats that seemed very popular with the troops.  The entrance of the day goes to Spicoli who sauntered across the bridge right on (his) time,  and promptly found Root Canal.  The Brothers-in Arms clicked braces then quickly got after the workout.  After presenting the word of the day, “Contra” and using it in a completed sentence, Palin demonstrated the Partner Assisted Pickle Pounder with a reluctantly consenting Cherry Pie.  Welcome to our 2 former FNGs. Pullout (Jared Robertson) is into woodworking and cabinetmaking. He also has a house full of kids.  Clampett (Sam Metzler) is a VP at a local oil company.  The Pax all gathered around Buyout’s six pack for a picture before heading to Joe Dough’s.  Of course, the CSAUP boys, along with Splash, ran there. YHC is very grateful for this F3 brotherhood and look forward to working out with you guys this year.  My hope for us is that we will be the men those that know us need and find joy in unexpected places throughout 2020.  Happy Anniversary!
