On this day in 1991, eight people were sealed inside a giant glass structure in Arizona to simulate living on another planet. Dubbed “Biosphere 2”, the scientists spent 2 years running experiments (many failed), in fighting, and battling cockroaches. YHC intended to repeat that experience, but there were only 7 of us and an early request for more walking so I quickly modified the plan.

After a couple of Burpees for warmups, we grabbed a couple handheld rocks each and started our mosey.

Burpees x2
Irkins x4 by the baseball field, then through the woods to the parking lot for
Overhead press x8 then to the top of the lot for
Squats x 16 then over to the la Quinta back parking lot for
Popeye punches x32 then we dodged traffic and found a safe well lit driveway for
Hand release merkins x20 before making our way back to a parking lot for
Earl Grey x16 them down to the lower lot for
Rosalita x8 which reminded Fruit Loop that he missed Breezy. Then back through the woods to our start for
Eddy the Eagle x4

Dropped the rocks, some Mary (LBC, LSF, Cockroaches, SCS+pigeon)

Announcements: Bowling, q school, and some other things I forget

We stretched.
We pickled.
We conquered Mount Inferno.
We planked.

It was like Mount Doom mixed with Free Solo.

We listened to the same angry song on repeat for 45 minutes.

Great workout, guys!

14 posted on a muggy South Cary morning as YHC took the Q and pursued the Ghost flag. The weather was less than ideal but the banter was fantastic, and the PAX of South Cary showed up and showed out.

warm up: short lap around the parking lot before the typical side effect warm up: Sir fazio and reverse Sir fazio, seal claps, overhead claps, and behind the back claps. Clap heavy as always, as the Pax can’t help but applaud a Side Effect Q.

The thang: 1 and only thang needed, YHC Qd a beatdown that was as almost as hard as the previous year has been for me.

“Crazy Dora”- Flag lot as the pickle, partner 1 runs while partner 2 works.
100 dive bombers,
200 burpees (you read that right)
300 Jump squats.

few finished it all (shout out to Silver fox and Badda)

Mary: Ms love Abs so we did a Pax called Mary circle with LBC, WW2, low slow flutter, and Superman.

announcements – golf sign up(we missed it)
Odyssey
South Cary camping

prayers/praises: Honeycombs daughter, health/wellbeing of others mentioned as well.

I can’t think of a better way to culminate 1 year in F3 than with a few hundred burpees/dissected burpees. Thankful for the Pax to meet me in the gloom for these crazy ideas.

see you soon SC

Pearls on a String across to Waverly to the secret Loch Lomond path to Summerwinds to Tryon back around Waverly to home. Earned the today due to waiting too long at the crosswalks. Downpour at the end made this one memorable. 4/4 at bagelteria. MIAGD!

Problematic (or almost problematic?) day at the premier Tuesday boot camp actually located in south cary!

Took the long way over to the Lowe’s foods parking lot for warmups. Then headed over to the Ortho parking lot for three rounds of four corners. First round was 9 diamond merkins at each corner, second round was 24 jump squats and then third round was 83s.

Then we headed towards the park with an illegal road crossing in front of Cary’s finest (no trespassing tho!) and then a pause to monkey hump the JDI broz (of which there were many!) before heading to the shelter for 41 dips, 41 I/urkins, and a 41 second derkin hold.

Back to the flag for popcorn mary and COT right before the dome gave out. Coffee at the shelter!

Prayers for my nextdoor neighbor Sharon in dealing with the sudden passing of her husband yesterday, prayers for Useful’s job search. Grateful to start another year feeling . MIAGD, gents!
