Medley of legs and arms, on the ground and standing up.

Mosey to the alley between the school and the track to find a piece of cardboard waiting.

Accompanying the exercises were the following rules:

Consisted of Alabama Butt Kickers since that was the last exercise Splash needed to complete the cardboard.

Announcements:

  • The Shmed: August 27th-28th.  Look for a pre-blast from Zima on Slack in the next couple of days.

Prayer Requests:

  • Giles’s wife.
  • Boomerang’s sister had a blood transfusion; doctors don’t know where her blood is going.
  • Plunger’s electric problems in his heart.
  • Parque as he heads to Boone for college!

YHC took us out.

NMM:

  • Much was made of YHC’s apparent laziness or absence of a plan this morning. The plan, although simple, i.e. put a bunch of exercises on a piece of cardboard and see what happens, worked to a “T”.  Some observations:
    • After a bunch of bellyaching that fell on deaf ears, most pax quickly sorted into groups and attacked the cardboard list in pairs or groups. Mongoose, Ink Spot (kotters!), and YHC were exceptions and for the most part went solo.  YHC noted that F3 was founded by guys who wanted to challenge the ‘Lone Ranger’ tendency of men; we’re better together.
    • Most chose to exclusively use a run to Polo Road and back as their mode of transportation. There were no takers on the opportunity to bear crawl around the grassy knoll, which Bulldog called “Stupid”.  Go figure.
    • BamBam got right in the mix with the rest of the pax, and YHC overhead him telling the story of how he got his F3 name. He was so excited to post that he claimed he didn’t sleep.  YHC is proud of that my boy.
    • Splash, despite his moniker, scrambled from the drizzle quicker than an F35 to continue his conquest of the cardboard.
    • Jumper Cables and High Cotton were auditioning for the 2024 synchronized swimming Olympic team; their burpees were in perfectly synced.
    • Mongoose liked the Molotov merkins.
    • Resistor was flying. If being the Redline site-Q is what it takes to accelerate like that, sign me up as his successor.
    • Tinker and YHC ran sprint intervals around the grassy knoll during one of our transport periods. Tinker is faster.

Lemming, thank you for the opportunity.  It was great to be back in Purgatory.
