Triple Nickles @ ELHS Mustang

Event Date

Aug 13, 2022


Sorry this took so long to get posted.  You know old guys can't do technonloy.  At least I still know how to program a VCR!

 

YHC arrived early to get a couple of miles EC in before the work out.  I decided to run through Catawba Springs to scout out the lay of the land for a future work out.  When I returned, I saw a few PAX warming up by doing a lap in the parking lot.  Once we all came together, I asked who had the Q.  Sonar piped up and said nobody signed up for it, so I decided to take it.  I didn’t want my first Denver region Q to be “off the cuff” but that’s how it worked out.  I hope everyone got their money’s worth…..

 

Warm Up:

Seal Jacks IC x 27

Hill Billy Walkers IC x 20

Esimo Merkins up to 5

 

The Main Event

Mosey over to Catawba Springs and circle the water puddle by the street.   I mentioned a PAX in Gashouse who loves to jump in the puddles to get the other PAX wet, so I channeled my best Whoopee and jumped in for a good splash.  I believe some of the PAX here in Denver has met Whoopee as he came up a time or two when F3 was just starting out in Denver.  He is a great guy who has some fantastic stories.

Mosey to Valeybrook Drive for a Triple Nickle.  A Triple Nickle is three exercises (Triple) repeated 5 times (Nickle).  We did five LBC’s at one end of Springwood Dr and 5 Merkins at the other end with a Mosey in between.  While doing this routine, I asked the PAX to think of a dream vacation they would like to do or have been on.  About midway through C-Sharp mentioned that the fruity drink he was dreaming of while sitting on a tropical beach was about gone and we better hurry up and finish.

I asked about the dream vacations so we could get to know everyone better.  We had some great responses.  Sonar said he has been to Maui 4 times.  Bronco went scuba diving at the second largest barrier reef in the world where he may or may not have surpassed 130 feet.  C-Sharp wants to go to a tropical beach and sip fruity drinks.  Soldier wants to go snorkeling (Better get after that C-sharp!)  I want to drive to the Artic Sea.

Mosey down to Springwood Drive for another Triple Nickle.  Here we did 5 Diamond Merkins, Bear Crawl across the street and do 5 Jump Squats.

Nur (Run Backwards), I believe you call it Quadraphilia here, up to the cul-de-sac at the end of Springwood Drive.  Here we did Ring – Of –  Abs.  Circle up and each Pax calls ten reps of any Ab exercise.  Rapid fire one after another.  We did two rounds. 

Continue to Mosey down Catawba Springs Road to Brookridge Dr where we did 11’s.  We started with 10 Squats at the bottom and 1 CDD at the top.  Continue counting down at the bottom and up at the top until we did 1 Squat at the bottom and 10 CDD’s at the top.

Almost time so Mosey back to the start.

Thanks for showing up today gentlemen and thanks to All Pax for such a warm welcome after I moved here in June.  I am enjoying getting to know everyone in the region!
