3 California dudes and 3 guys from somewhere else braved the rain this morning. Here is their story…
Tugs (California guy) and YHC (also California guy) roll up about the same time. Have you noticed that Tugs is like Ole Faithful? One of the most consistent PAX and a newer guy.
Some other California guy named 5G from San Diego rolls up. This guy happens to be my wife's uncle who I've known for 16 years and who happens to be an F3 PAX for the past year…yet I only found out two days ago. He also happens to be a double respect, jet lagged so it feels like 0230, and is used to 70 and sunny…. NO EXCUSES, HE POSTED.
Ultraman rolls up with a smile. Amen and Enron roll up with a minute to spare. Let's roll!
The Thang
Mosey to the back of the parking lot. At this point the guys reminded me about the awning by the church. Gee, I hadn't thought of that.
Warmarama: the usual suspects…SSH, Hillbillies, Slippery Dip Can, High Knees
Grab a block! 35 lbs dry, 350 lbs wet. It's science.
- 5 thrusters, run a lap, 5 blockees, run a lap
- 10 thrusters, run a lap, 10 blockees, run a lap
- Detour: 1 pullup, 3 squats, 2 pullups, 6 squats, 3 pullups, 9 squats, 4 pullups, 12 squats, 5 pullups, 15 squats
- 15 thrusters, run a lap, 15 blockees, run a lap
Blocks back, mosey to rocks. Grab a nice fat one. (Be careful how you select your rock. Enron might get rock envy.)
- 20X Curls IC, 20X Skullcrushers IC, 20X shoulder press IC
- 15X Curls IC, 15X Skullcrushers IC, 15X shoulder press IC
Mosey to awning, cause I'd hate for you to get wet
- 10X Merkins IC
- Mary of the usual suspects: flutters, hip dip, snow angel, freddie mercury, JLo, some other exercise from California guy
- 10X Merkins IC, 10X high knees IC, 10X Merkins IC, 10X high knees IC
RECOVER RECOVER
Moleskin
- Great effort from everyone, and a painfully fun time was had by all. I invited everyone out to Whole Foods for some Avocado and Coconut Water, but I had no takers.
- 5G crushed it. His son (my cousin-in-law, F3 name Armbar) did not. He chose the fartsack and I hope there is much gnashing of teeth from his severe FOMO as he reads this BB.
- Enron touched my rock.
- Amen loves thrusters and blockees.
- Ultraman, 52, has the energy of a 27 year old.
- Tugs, 27, has the wisdom of a 52 year old.
Prayers up for Ultraman's mother, Linette, experiencing some health issues. Prayers for fast and accurate diagnosis, skillful treatment, and speedy recovery.
My heartfelt thanks to Enron for the opportunity to lead, and to the other 4 men who heard the rain but answered the call anyway.
