PAX: Boomerang, CherryPie, HoneyBadger, Offsides, TouchMeNot, Huckeberry, Thistle (WD), RootCanal, Butter, Goofy, HOG, LambChop, VirginiaSlim (WB)

YHC was super impressed that 13 pax showed up for WIB on a rainy day.  A strong and hearty bunch to say the least.  We modified the beat down to run under the sheltered walkway next to the shops.

The Thang

After a brief Warm-o-Rama, we did 5 of the following exercises at the front of each row, increasing by 5 each time a circuit is completed – so 5, 10, 15, 20 and so on.  We completed circuits until 0615 and I think most Pax got in 6 full circuits or up to 30 reps each exercise.  

1st Station – outside LaCaretta (tunes were played at this station)

• Merkins
• Carolina Dry Docks
• Wide Merkins
• Burpees (these were modified and once we got to 20, we counted back down to 15, 10)

2nd Station (outside of the Nail Salon)

• Low Flutter
• Superman
• American Hammer
• SSH’s

3rd Station (outside of Harris Teeter)

• Squats
• Lunges (each leg)
• Calf Raises
• Jump squats
• Run back to Station 1 and repeat)

COT:  YHC took us out

Announcements

• @Offsides has the Q at Charlie Foxtrot on Saturday
• @CherryPie reported that the Samartain workout was a success, which conflicted with @Thistle’s recollection of burpees at every intersection.

NMM

• There was debate if the cool rain would have been better than the warm humidity we sweated through.  The Q thought this was a worthy argument.
• @Boomerang felt that @Goofy was not living up to high expectations by not having tunes at each station. True
• @LambChop and @VaSlim were chatting it up the whole time, which made me question the difficulty of the beatdown.  The “non-rain” beatdown had us also running suicides between stations
• There was no debate that the first station was by far the most difficult, which included 75 total burpees.
• Despite an HC @BeastLite was not there to show off his Grizzly Adams beard, accented with a blue ascot.
• @CherryPie was admiring @Butters physique and some awkward moments ensued when the Q carried the conversation too far.
• Tclaps to @Butter for running 2x around the 1/2 mile loop around the shopping center in the steady rain before the workout.
• Tclaps also for @Starfish for helping YHC appreciate the finer things by unwittingly contributing the song, Sunshine Rock by Bob Mould.
• One of the best benefits of posting to different workouts is you get to meet some great new Pax, and was glad to do so today.
• Nice age range today – from 27 to 60.  A full collection of hate-hates, hates, ayes, respect and a double respect.
• always an honor to lead and be with the men of F3
