YHC got up a little earlier to drive over to an unused area of the AO to lay out our beatdown before heading to Sherwood Forest to find 5 or 6 merry pax awaiting a beatdown. A couple more joined prior to 0530, and away we went

WOR: SSH, Whirlys, Imperial Walkers, and Michael Phelps all x15IC

Mosey through the neighborhood, making stops along the way for 10 jump squats & 10 merkins, alternating, and then both together at the entrance to Burkhead UMC.

The lot at Burkhead is large and well-lit, but the journey to get there was a little dark…YHC admits to needing a headlamp to follow F3 (and common sense) safety protocols

In the lot 8 was the number – there were 8 cones with an exercise at each, and the instructions were to complete 8 reps of the exercise at each cone before moving to the next one. The Q set a timer for about 22 minutes to give ample time to mosey home, and the pax set about the cones, to wit:

1. Kraken Burpees (3 HR merkins at the bottom)
2. Bonnie Blairs
3. WMDs
4. Crunchy Frogs
5. Lt Dan Burpees 
6. Sumo Squats
7. Divebombers
8. Flight Attendants

We took a slow mosey home and had about 8 minutes remaining for popcorn mary, which included low flutters, WWIIs, penguin crunches, Freddy mercs, box cutters, Jane Fondas, low dollys, and a couple others that YHC cannot recall

Announcements: Ongoing PAXgiving challenge, Sea-Man is Qing a Veterans Day workout with a financial incentive on Thursday, Greenspan has TIT next week

Prayers for Crash’s 2.0 having ACL surgery and for Skybridge’s M & newborn 2.0 to have better sleep.

#kotters to Skybridge, who got his name from Dredd at F3 Metro around 5 years ago, and has posted one other time a few years back. YHC was misled and thought he was a FNG, but either way we were happy to have him out. He & his wife have a 2-3 month old daughter at home, and Greenspan put the EH on him. I don’t think those two things are related, but I put them in the same sentence regardless.

Lace joined for Mary after showing up a few minutes late and finding the pax to have already vacated the premises. He got some mileage and pullups in, which sounds delightful to me.

The Price is Right is DR from Raleigh & Cape Fear, his M was competing in the NC Swim & Run race at Hanging Rock State Park this past weekend. If you didn’t get to meet him, you missed your chance this time around as they are heading home today.

The option to modify as necessary was not exercised today, despite many brutally tough options in the cards. Impressive effort by all.

Greenspan was on a different level – YHC was struggling to keep up, but I seemed to still hear him complain a lot about the exercises.

Some pax went clockwise around the cones, and others went counter-clockwise (contraclockwise?). This led to a lot of crossover, usually at the Flight Attendants station, and some delightful MC.

Crash gave his stamp of approval on BUMC being within the AO boundaries. Just shy of 1/2 mile from the launch pad.

To you, Crash, I extend my thanks for the keys.
