Last night YHC dm’d Sbarro letting him know I had an itch to Q if for any reason he didn’t. He was gracious enough to just let me have it so we decided it would be fun if he started the warm up and just tossed me the keys 🙂

So that’s what happened! Pax were stunned, shocked, speechless, mindblown (probably) but they played it cool like they were confused or didn’t really care haha!!

Lots of pickles and partner work this morning. Each Thang involved partner work.

We ran pickles in opposite directions as our partners and did partner exercises when we passed by each other:

Pickle 1: 5 Monkey Humpers and then increasing Patty Cake Merkins each time you reached your partner
Pickle 2: Weave the pickles with 5 pickle pounders and then 5 Toddler Squats each time you reached your patner.
Pickle 3: 5 Squat jumps and then 3 Bropees each time.

Back near the flag for a down and back of Duck Walking and Broad Jump Burping.

COT with NoR/CoR/Prayer and Prasies!

Thanks fellas! Great turnout for a hurricane day!! And thanks to Sbarro again for allowing me to steal his Q.

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 🤙

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!

An odd number of pax did an odd workout today. Q came in off the top rope right on time – was hiding out trying to stress out the site q who HC’d to the workout and then didnt show. Knowing @kitty litter, he probably went to another workout somewhere else. Great group, great site, wondering why I had never been invited before and where my first time Q gift was….
Warm up – yup
1 – Burpee
3 – Triple
5 – Nickel (Merkins, Lunges, Squats)
7s – yup (star jump and LBCs)
9 – box cutter tribute to Hermes
11s – yup (jump squat and supermans)
Mary – yup (Freddie Merc, Hello Dolly, H2M)
COT- praises for Quiver -first bootcamp post injury.

This morning’s workout started with a quick intro and pledge. We then moseyed to the parking lot across the street for warmups (SSH, Hillbillies, Good Mornings, Calf Stretches, Runner’s Stretches and Merkins.

YHC lead the PAX down Tryon to the Tunnel where we did 11s which consisted of Burpees at the far end of the tunnel and plank jax at the top of the hill on the near side of the tunnel. Clear instructions were not provided b/c some PAX attempted to cut the distance wanting to do exercises at each end of the tunnel. Clarity was provided and all was good after that.

Once we concluded the 11s, a few rounds of core exercises were performed before heading back to the SW parking lot. On our way back to the parking lot we made a few random stops for monkey humpers and American Hammers (in honor of Chipper’s leadership launching SW).

We had a few minutes to kill once we arrived at the SW parking lot so we did a quick Thang 2 which was the Triple Check. It was simple to do, but too much to explain here (if interested you can look it up in the F3 Exicon). We finished out with the plank hold.

It was great to be back at the Premier AO in South Cary (and I’ll go as far as saying the Greater Carpex Region). Thank you for the opportunity to lead this great group of HIM. May we go forth and encourage and lift each other up (everyone around us) as we did this morning.

Much love!

IC Light

20 HIMs got together for an awesome workout. We started with the mission statement ( I nailed it by the way) followed by the pledge. We all headed up to the WF parking lot for some SSh’s, Sir Fazio arm circles and Mountain Climbers. We proceeded to do some forward and backwards running thru the parking lot and to my joy no one ran into an island. Next stop was the toast parking lot were we focused on AB’s and Merkins. Once we finished there we headed down to the lawn and did a solo Dora which included 25 dips, 50 merkins and 100 squats. Each separated with a run around the pickle. We headed back to the flag for some Mary. Some were faster than others.

Announcements: F3 dad’s camping trip in October, the Rim to Rim team still has openings if you want to join this weekend. Green level is hosting the Odyssey in mid October. As usual check slack for details

Prayers

Decoy and his coaching career and the HIMs heading out west this weekend to do the R2R

Today marked the 2 year anniversary of my collapse at PB. Forever grateful to Trickle,Hermes and all those folks that were there that morning to save my life. F3 is an incredible group and I would not be here today if it were not for the quick actions of this group. MIAGD
