This workout had everything – PAX from a far off land, partner work with an odd number of dudes, and a counting scheme so bad that we adjusted it midstream. Partners got derked and the climbing wall got mountain climbed Australian-style. Great way to kick off year #6 in F3!
well hey!!! I had no idea that this went here. I was hoping to do a more classic version of a backblast, so here goes!
YHC rolled up to JSP a little after 5am to survey the park ahead of the beatdown. Chipper was there to get some EC, and made the request to avoid the grass. Well that was just the constraint I need to hone in on a plan. Since 2018, Valentine’s Day has always been a JP Q, and I’ve always tried to weave in elements from previous Qs. So I had half a plan coming in. Some soggy, icy mulch on the Northeasterly trail and the avoid-the-grass suggestion helped the rest of it fall into place. Stuff to avoid.
Back at the flag, 7 other PAX had gathered. We missioned, pledged, and launched, catching Chipper on our way back into the park. Around the Sheep Loop for a warmup lap (that felt like a mile), and circle up for a warmup in the playground lot. Once that’s done,
THANG 1
Partner up. Travel in opposite directions on the Sheep Loop and do 5 Partner Derkins each every time you meet. 3 laps.
THANG 2
Head to the picnic shelter. This is Station 1. The splash pad is Station 2. The rock wall is Station 3.
Staying together, do 1 rep of Step Ups (L-R is 1) at the shelter, 2 reps of Dips at the splash pad, and 3 reps of Australian Mountain Climbers at the rock wall. 5 rounds, increasing the reps every time. Counting was shazzy, so we adjusted to 6(L-R is 2)-6-6 on the third go-round and worked up to 10-10-10.
THANG 3
Back to the playground lot, and do 2 opposite direction laps with WW2 sit ups when you meet up with your partner.
Back to the Top Lot for 1 Burpee, some LBCs, and HAND. That’s it!
COR – 9, NOR – 3 RESPECTs, 5 meh, 1 HATE
