Pile and Cheap Sunglasses were there as well, but not yet on the WS.
Six men, evenly divided, took to #thestandard like fish to water. These men were Strutter, Lear, and Cheez Whiz as runners, and Big Mean, Nymph, and Tote Bag serving as your ruckers.
Finally, a cool, cloudy morning during which we could gather and give thanks for our health and happiness. At the tick of 7, we took off….
Warm Ups: Mozy, High Knees, Butt Kickers, R/L Karaoke, Kick Steppers, Quadrafilia. COP (IC) SSH 20, IST 15, Merkins 5 regular, 5 wide, 5 diamond, SDS's 15, CP's 10, CDD's 15. Mozy down steps, Bear Crawl up hill on backside of Horatio Field. Mozy to swingsets, 15 dips IC.
The Thang: One (1) Deck of Cards (Bicylcle Brand, 2016) was placed in the middle of the COP, Two (2) sheets of ABC's, each letter sporting one (or more) exercise, was laid out. Each Pax was asked to draw a card, then requested to count the exercise out, either in or not in cadence (this was a bit muddy at times). The ABC exercises were as follows;
Air Squat
Burpees
Carolina Dry Docks
Declines/Dips/Dying Cockroach
Eight Count Body Builders
Freddie Mercs
Goblet Squats
Hillbillies
Incline Merkins/IST’s
Jump Squats
Kicking legs
Lunge
Merkins/Mountain Climber/Monkey Humpers
Narrow Squats
O’s, with your feet
Peter Parkers/Pickle Pounders
Quick feet/Quarter Jump Turns
Rosalita’s
Sit outs
Turkish Getups
Upper Cuts
V ups
Wide Grip Merkins/WW II
X Jacks
Y Raise (Superman/Banana)
Zig Zag Hops
After we did our ABC's, we mozied down to the track for an Indian run for one loop, then crab walked up the same hill we bear crawled before, then back to the parking lot for…
Mary (IC): LBC 20, Nymph counted 20 Low Dolley's, Big Mean counted 15 W's, Pink Slip counted 20 Low Flutters, Pile counted something, not sure what, Banana Peel counted 15 WWII's, Chicken Little counted 20 Mercury Freddie's. Recover, recover.
Moldeskine:
-Prayers were offered for Strutter's daughter and several unspoken personal requests.
-The 'flow' of the ABC's was not ideal, but we got through it. Several exercises were not familar or common, so those took the most verbal beating.
-Hillary did a fantastic job on the Peter Parkers, after getting his foot out of the gate.
-Chicken Little was Omaha'd off the Jump Squat cadence, it was a necessary move the the Q.
-LOTS of modification was noted today, and that's a good thing. (YHC tweaked a left quad injury, infuriating)
-This #backblast has ostensibly been approved by the Board of F3RCUSA.
-Strutter's 2.0 will be playing circa 10 PM tonight at Hanger 33, on Williamson Rd. if you are interested. He even offered to cover the first round if Pax show up….NICE!
