11 showed up on this cool morning to flirt with disaster. Kicked off with the Pledge and moseyed over to medical office park for warmups. Exited out the back past some soggy rolls of carpet on the way to Thang 1 – Pearls on a string Merkins/CDDs around Frostwood Dr / Larkwood Ln. Monkey humpers mixed in on the way back down Tryon with a bear crawl added due to special request. JDI sighting as well. Thang 2 was BLIMPS across Whole Foods parking lot and back, leaving just enough time to get back to flag. MIAGD!

YHC balanced out the lower mileage from 88 yesterday at FWD this morning. Lot’s of mumblechatter pre-0530 whether YHC was the one who pulled the short straw for today. After all the ECers joined us back and a few straggling pax, pledge and we’re off. Warm-ups on the greenway then to the bridge for the Thang. 11s across the bridge and down the zig-zag. 5 merkins every time you cross the other side of the bridge. Cheeseballs went full French Lick and lapped everyone. The rest of us completed 9/10 of the 11s with most of the pax trying to complete the last one before YHC had to shout them down that it was time to head back. True HIMs.

No time for Mary, so HAND. Over 100 merkins completed and a Sherpa approved 5K mileage minimum. Strong work out there today fellas.
FWD, come for the beatdown, stay for the wildlife.
Also, dentistry apparently does well as you can afford to have a lobby in your home.

Great to have Deet back out with us today!!

Back in ’17 the only Tuesday workout was Field of Dreams until an up and coming rising star, who would one day invent the Maynard and another day invent South Cary, planted a flag at Kids Together Park and using the music theme would name it Flirtin with Disaster and give us bacon at the first hard launch of the site.

To pay hommage to the history of FWD YHC decided to repeato his first Q. You can read about it here: og.f3carpex.com/pick-up-your-6/

Jack Webbs was the name of the game.

One major modification that was NOT beneficial to us in on the bridge we swapped out crab movements and instead did Balls to the Wall Shoulder presses (1) to Aussie Mountain Climbers (4). We got to 4 or 5 and the Qs shoulder would have preferred stopping at 2!

When I gave some instructions there was some gasps but one hero in the crowd (it was dark not sure who – Useful or Dumas I think?) said it best (I’m paraphrasing), “Wow those are gonna suck, but I’m excited to do it” YES! You get it!!!

Ok then we came back and the Q asked if anyone has yet to Q before and Deet stepped up so YHC put him in the middle of the circle, instructed him on how to call an exercise, and then let him loose! He killed it! We then gave his 3 praises and 3 improvements to work on.

He’s now ready to Q! One of you spreadsheet box checkers can probably check a box if you get him signed up. It’s a very warm lead hah!

GREAT morning with these guys, really enjoyed it! Loved the full participation by everyone. Bubba gets a shout out for his last lap sprint so he could get a BIGGER rock. Atta boy!

MIAGD!!!

Wah Wah is blaming “the technology” for not being able to backblast.

Though this may seem geriatric the workout was anything but!

Wah Wah walked out
of the gloom like the u dealer and was ready to snatch souls. The PAX were rightful to afraid
After a pledge to the invisible flag (ABC) store he led us on a 1 mile mosey to warm ups.

We warmed up and then thang 1 was partner pickles with patty cake merkins and LBC’s. 4 laps each of 10 reps.

We then ran back to the Tesla charging station to casually run into some cones for the undertaker’s pain train.

Burpee – merkins – American hammers – LBC’s – squat jumps 1,5,10,15,20.

Great workout. Great mumble chatter. Stay bricked up!

Wah Wah took us out with announcement’s and prayers. PAX agreed on Astro’s aggressive party sign up deadline that is today.

3 for the fun run, after which one departed. 10 for a pearls on a string up Tryon to Ben Franklin and down the greenway to Cary parkway and back.Stopped for various stretching exercises along the way. Some well known, some not as well known, some of questionable masculinity. A few diamond merkins and homer to marge were thrown in to help those completing some challenge.

0530 hit as pax were still getting situated. YHC kicked it off with the full blitz F3 welcoming: Disclaimer, Mission, 5CPs, and Pledge then we mozy’d off to Lowe’s to warm up.
(in the meantime what we didn’t know is Brie was just arriving and instead of peering over at the shopping center he went medical park and missed us!)

THANG 1
20 squats with heels on the curb (someone said they are Stiletto Squats? Haven’t heard that before but I’ve noted for next time!)
Increasing exercises at each parking spot divider: 1, then 2, 3, 4, 5 and then run back for the next set. Each set different exercise: Merkins then Burpees, then Mtn Climbers.
As I gasped for air on the burpees I saw my heart rate hit 170. Everyone was pushing. There were no Mailmen at this workout.

THANG 2: Medical park now (sorry Brie). YHCs car was waiting for the pax with a plethora of coupons. Cindys , #35 plates, and a kettle bell. Partner up, and partner with coupon does a repeating Squat, step, Curl, step, Press, step working his way around the pickle. P2 is running the pickle back to P1 and they flapjack until the pickle is completed. Mileage and Strength…win win!

Back to the flag for a Plank O Rama, followed by COT. YHC has adopted a new COT disclaimer so pax of all walks of faith understand F3 is for all men and faith backgrounds. It goes sorta like this if you want to replicate it in some fashion, “F3 ascribes to no specific faith and isn’t a Christian organization. The Q is welcome to end the workout how he feels led. Being that I’m Christian i’ll take us out the way I know how, which is prayer.” And then I said “Ball up!” ha! Which now I want shirt with a picture of a COT and it says BALL UP! above it.

And with that, a great morning was had by all. Thanks for being there with me fellas! MIAGD

3 for a 30 minute Dora EC then Jigglypuff headed North. 5 for the main event. String of pearls to a deceptively long and dangerous hill for a triple nickel of CDD, lunges, and irkins. Picked back up the string of pearls and meandered our way back to the flag. Unknown mileage covered, may have finished on time. Sherpa joined for coffeteria. MIAGD

Tell you what happened at FWD?

CREED HAPPENED. SCOTT STRAPP HAPPENED.

the boys are back and touring and all of our blue collar America is pumping “higher” through stereos and garage boom boxes baby. Glad no one was clipped by the Camry as Creed made the entrance.

Albums – Human Clay & Weathered.

Track 1 – “Are you ready?”
Warm ups. Get the pax pumped up to hear the classic rock you listened to before heading to church.

Track 2 – “Higher”
Anthem of the world series winning TX Rangers. We got higher with pearls on a string of jack Webb’s but known today as Scott Strapps.

Track 3 – “One Last Breath”
We were 6 ft from the edge and we were thinking – hold me to low slow flutters, squats, monkey humpers. THE CREED BURN WAS REAL.

Saw those JDI BOYS and hit em with the STRAPP on the fly by.

Track 4 – “Arms Wide Open”
Showed the PAX everything with arms wide open. Merkins.

Track 5 – “My Sacrifice”
When Creed is with us we are free, we are careless and we believe. above all the others – we hit some more MARY and another mosey loop.

Bonus track – “Don’t stop dancing”
Believe you can fly!

Bowling, camping trip, Green Level CSAUP.
Be like Creed and get back out there and on the tour of fitness. Great to see you Half!

MIAGD Gents!
