Date: 3/1/2021

PAX: Tigger, Green Acres, Crash, Zima, Drama Queen, Drip, Workbench, Michael Bolton, Van Gogh

How fitting that there is a random Wall right off of the field at our Iron Throne AO. It was the original inspiration for today’s GoT Theme Walk beatdown… only to be washed away by a torrent of rain that came rolling just after we arrived. Just the first of many wrong decisions by the PAX it would seem this wet morning.

CoT

• YHC gave thanks to the guys for dealing with a pretty much impromptu Beatdown and staying through the rain.
• YHC took us out giving thanks.

NMM

• It seems there was a series of mistakes this morning…
• It started with Tigger, who drove the wrong car (his Ms).
• Drip asked if YHC had on the wrong shirt, just the results of the 3021 challenge, my friend. 
• YHC commented on the weather app saying the rain was going to hold off til 7, and Crash saying YHC looked at the wrong weather app because his said 0530… his was right.
• YHC chose the wrong plans. Really wanted to get some solid use of the Wall and field, but the field was already devoid of grass from this lovely winter weather. The slightest bit of rain and it started getting slick real fast.
• DQ said he posted to the wrong AO instead of his usual VI with some cover. #Respect, YHC thanks you for posting anyway!
• Green Acres ran to the AO, and back. Which we all thought was some kind of mistake? 
• Michael Bolton made the mistake of offer YHC free beer, so YHC brought him an empty growler!
• Zima mistakenly left his sleeves at home.
• Workbench seemed to be the only one associated with a mistake!?
• All men worked admirably, as each got thoroughly soaked by 0540. By that point, YHc saw no point in seeking shelter and just rolled with it.
• The hill facing Silas Creek on the far end of the field is amazing. Long, flat, and very thick grass (unlike the field), the PAX enjoyed crawling up and down it in the rain.
• Zima found it amusing that YHC allowed modifications down the hill so quickly after receiving the slightest complaint. #SafetyFirst
• Tigger spent most of the workout worried about his M being quite mad at him for getting her car soaked.
• The swings are great! But the mud pit below each one? Not so much… PAX really struggled to do most moves because of all the mud below them.
• I think Michael Bolton endured his first Bear Crawl combo from YHC, many more to come, my friend!!
• Crash held up a bus lot stop sign after the first round of Bear crawl. YHC found it funny.
• Many PAX commented on how much heavier their shoes were before the mosey back to start.

Overall, workouts like this will be saying, “remember that one time…” years from now. Completely soaked, doing stupid stuff with my F3 brothers. That’s the stuff of legend, men! Thanks for coming out,
