“In true Swwinger fashion,” this SWW site Q went “next door to spice things up.” And came with a spicy playlist to fit the bill.

The sets and reps were meant to align with the 15 points the Giants scored last night. They kicked 5 field goals, so the significant numbers of the day were 3, 5, and 15.

After some warmups, the main Thang involved working through supersets of 15 reps of each exercise for 3 sets per superset. There were 5 rounds and we ran a pickle after each round. 3 different pickle routes were run, since a true Swwinger needs to go out and get little samples all around.

Round 1 = 3 sets of 15 goblet squats + 15 American Hammers
Round 2 = 3 sets of 15 chest press + 15 WWII’s
Round 3 = 3 sets of 15 arm raises + 15 V-ups
Round 4 = 3 sets of 15 swings + 15 LSF
Round 5 = 3 sets of squat jumps + wood chops (descending reps)

Finished with some more kettlebell swings. Had a good time today. Got a few laughs from the playlist. Gonna be sore tomorrow. Thanks for having me today fellas. MIAGD.

9 bootcampers and 7 run clubbers this AM.

One last trip to the beach this morning to send out summer on a high note. Swimsuits were highly encouraged but YHC didn’t give that disclaimer until 5:44 so only YHC was appropriately dressed. Nevertheless we prevailed and started off on our journey with a mosey to the rest area. At this point one of the kids naturally started yelling ‘Dad I gotta go!’ so we pulled in, did some warm-ups, stalled and discussed pigeons on the beach, and something about ground hogs….

Anyways, continue back on our trip to Ritter for….

The BEACHBALL

Grab a beachball from the Qs trunk and lets begin. Various exercises together followed by a pickle where the mode of transit was beachball thrusters (throw your beachball at the top of the thruster then go get it). Exercises were heavily skewed towards Mary (gotta get that six pack for the last beach trip):

B ox cutters
E lbow to knee crunches
A merican hammers
C ockroaches (that are dying)
H eels to heaven
B urpees
A l gores
L ow slow flutters
L unges

Then we closed out with 3 amazing rounds of F3 Beachball Dodgeball which was enjoyed immensely by all.

Another AMBRR is in the books fellas. A huge shout out to the entire SAG Crew for all they did to make this a successful event. There is a lot that goes on behind the scene leading up to the event and during. I can’t thank them enough for their leadership.

Under the darkness of the early morning sky at 0600, 31 runners set out to achieve something. What that “something” was was different for each of us. Some ran for fun and fellowship, others ran to beat a previous time or distance and others ran to prove to themselves that they could run a 10K or a Half Marathon. Whatever that something was, I am hopeful we all achieved what we intended to.

I am grateful for F3 and how it has impacted my life and for the relationships formed over the past couple of years…

You all crushed it this morning! Do the same the rest of today as well. MIAGD!!!

Yogi started with the mission, but then quickly assigned 10 penalty burpees when Biles arrived one minute late. Yogi explained to “piles” the importance of being on time. Off we went sans pledge and finished the mission and core principles on the mosey to the Lowe’s parking lot. From there we did 10 reps of different exercises at 5 different stations. Yogi pushed us all in both form and execution. 40% effort was promised but 100% effort was delivered. “Piles” was reintroduced to Yogi as Biles and we continued with more exercises including balls to the wall. Back to the flag we moseyed for a round of merry.

Announcements were announced. Praises for Yogi and his 8 year anniversary in F3. Praises for Biles and new addition on the way. Continued prayers for Deet and his family. MIAGD!

Today, YHC became the first South Cary Pax to hit 500 posts since the launch of our region. And what better way to celebrate this fine morning than with 500 merkins. 50 sets of 10 merkins, pearls-on-a-string style. I had led a similar workout a couple of years ago and it went over so well that it seemed like the perfect opportunity to do it again. This time the route was an out-and-back to the place where it all stared for F3 South Cary: Loch n Load. Round trip was 2.7 miles. I almost merlot’d shortly after the mid point. Our fearless Nantan Jigglypuff held strong and helped me find the strength to get through without any spillage. Shipyard, Joe Smith, and others kept up the encouragement. We all got through it together. We visited the Swwingers crew for our final set of 10 merkins. I think we interrupted their COT (sorry about that) which they were already in the middle of, even though it was only 0628.

Our COT went a little long. Lots of announcements and prayers and praises. Punch Out brought out yet another FNG (TYFYL). We named him Biles because he told us that what he does for a living is “probably over our heads”. He’s a runner–watch out!

The Swwingers crew came over to join us for a celebratory coffeeteria. They even brought extra coffee. Big thank you to Kitty Litter and Jigglypuff for really going out of their way to get me some sweet merch and some even sweeter Duck Donuts. Apparently Bagels was working this morning so he played a role in all this too. Really feeling blessed to be part of such an amazing group of men. I cannot thank you all enough.

Random thoughts:
– Term Paper was there for the original 500 merkins beatdown but he wasn’t there this time, and I’m sure he’s happy about that.
– Joe Smith is probably an above average attorney, but don’t tell that to FNG’s.
– Most Pax agreed that “football season” did NOT start last night.
– The first college football game was played in 1869 between Princeton and Rutgers. You’re welcome. Love, New Jersey
