Lets Run!

All All MECA Backblasts

January 21st, 2016 By Dingo

25 or 27 men posted at Highlands this morning!  Im getting old and remembering numbers is getting tough.  The Tradition/DavisLake posse rolled in to the 5th AO on their December tour of MeCa.  Not sure if we will make them all, but thats what next month is for!

It has been a while since I posted for a Highlands bootcamp, but the memories came flooding back, as I spent my first 6 months of F3 at Highlands!  Great times, great guys!  I was standing in the parking lot at 5:27am with 6 Traditioners and 1 Highlander.  We were wondering if the Highland pax had been totally honest with their Pax counts of 20+ lately…….And then it happened, as I remember it happening the same way 2 years ago.  about 20 cars rolled in to the parking lot within a 2 min time period and all of a sudden there were 15+ guys standing around!

Mosey up to the ball courts and circle up

  1. SSH x 16
  2. IST x 15
  3. CP x 15

At this point there was some chatter going on, as YHC expected.  I had a feeling that would stop soon.

3 equal lines

1 mile Indian run around Firehouse loop.  – Yes, not very exciting, but this is something I miss from Highlands, so we did it 🙂

Q-Fail – Pongo was left behind.  Thanks Pavarotti for noticing and staying back with him!  No Man Left Behind!

Mosey up to the track, jump the fence and cross to the other side.

All you got 200 meter sprint to the other side

line up in order of finish position.  Fastest man pairs up with slowest and so on.

Round 1

  1. Partner 1 runs to the left around track
  2. Partner 2 runs to the right around track
  3. When they meet 10 x Get ups each arm
  4. Run Back, when you meet 10 x throw downs
  5. Repeato x 2

Round 2

    1. Partner 1 runs to the left around track
    2. Partner 2 runs to the right around track
    3. When they meet 10 x Squerkins
    4. Run back, when you meet 10 x Partner situps
    5. Repeato x 3

When done, jump the fence – AMRAP step ups until 6 is done

Mosey back to cars and we are done.

The Running Moleskin;

  1. Thank you for letting me lead @highlands Pax!
  2. Sorry for going overtime, that last 5 minutes just disappeared!
  3. @Alcatraz – My daughter took her knuckle dusters to school 😉
  4. I was expecting a lot of mumble chatter, but that was a lot of running, so it was kinda quiet.
  5. Except for Chopper……
  6. I knew The Farm was scared of owls, but now I also know he is scared of the dark.  Panicked on the Indian Run.
  7. Great to see some familiar faces and a whole lot of new faces!

    @Dingo It was great having you back where it all started. I will say that today’s beatdown felt like it lasted 2 hours. Thanks?

    @Forgotten Jelly This was a bit of a homecoming for you as well, eh? I still remember your first post when a few of us concerned pax were huddled around you while you dry heaved on the curb. I think it was then you told us about the bread with peanut butter you ate before coming. Everyone agreed that if you had not forgotten the jelly you would have done fine. Like so many men in F3, your transformation both physically and as a leader have been remarkable. Great seeing you today.

    1. Forgotten Jelly January 21, 2016 at 10:36 am

      Thanks brother! Just one correction, there wasn’t much dry heaving. Well, I guess there was after I removed all the bread and peanut butter. Glad I’m still part of the group.

  2. Dingo January 21, 2016 at 8:58 am

    2 hours? I’m not sure if thats a compliment?! Lol!

    I was there for the initial Jelly post. I must admit I thought “He won’t be back”

    1. Gump January 21, 2016 at 9:43 am

      @Dingo neither did I given how hard it was to convince him that we would not leave him behind… like some Q’s do from time to time.

  3. Alcatraz January 21, 2016 at 9:06 am

    @Hugo is one of the missing PAX and possibly @GreenEggs.

    It is kind of hard to remember anything from that workout with the oxygen deprivation I was experiencing from all the running. I vaguely remember an overture of physical violence towards @Dingo’s 2.24 (he’s got a lot of kids) who is in the same kindergarten class as my 2.3 (I only have 3). It was just the pain talking.

    Thanks to @Pavarotti for partnering up! Don’t step towards him because partner Get Ups with someone from the 1/8 of a ton club doesn’t result in #soccerarms. Make no mistake about it, @Pavarotti is bad man.

    It’s never a good sign when you overhear @Nanny complaining about how much running there is. Still a good beatdown though. @Dingo, thanks for Q’ing. I think I filled my running quota through March this morning. Thanks to all the Tradition/Davis Lake guys for joining us as well.

  5. Gump January 21, 2016 at 9:44 am

    Great Q @Dingo, some new and original material that I’m sure will show up again.

    How in the world did @thefarm miss the guy running with a head lamp on?

    1. Dingo January 21, 2016 at 9:51 am

      Thanks!

      And I was behind the Farm yelling “stay to the left, runner coming” and the farm actually move to the right, straight in font of the runner?? Hoohoo…..stop focusing on owls!

      1. The Farm January 21, 2016 at 10:01 am

        Hey I was trying to avoid the ice!!

        1. Forgotten Jelly January 21, 2016 at 10:38 am

          So the runner was my boss. I talked to him when I got to work to see if we bothered him. He said only when the one guy was in the inside lane not paying attention and seemed to miss the light. I asked if he was little and he said yes. Hilarious!

          1. The Farm January 21, 2016 at 12:37 pm

            Did he fire you?

          2. The Farm January 21, 2016 at 12:39 pm

            I saw the light but if I have to choose between me slipping on ice versus some random guy running laps on a track by himself (which is lame by the way, why haven’t you EHed him?), the random guy will lose EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!

          3. Forgotten Jelly January 21, 2016 at 3:18 pm

            No, he didn’t fire me. I’ve tried EHing him for months. He is not one of those guys who will fall off of his exercise routine. He is strictly a runner now and a really fast runner.

          4. The Farm January 21, 2016 at 3:57 pm

            Just a runner? Just say no to #soccerarms.

  6. Forgotten Jelly January 21, 2016 at 10:36 am

    Good one this morning @dingo. It sucked, but I’m glad I did it. Next stop on our tour is…?

    1. Dingo January 21, 2016 at 11:46 am

      The Precinct next Tuesday! #shortdrive

  7. The Farm January 21, 2016 at 12:36 pm

    Good workout! For the record, I am not afraid of the the dark! I had two perfectly good headlamps in the car but @Dingo didn’t think to tell us to grab them to avoid black ice?!

    Great AO. Glad I finally made it out to a Highlands beatdown!

    1. Forgotten Jelly January 21, 2016 at 3:19 pm

      Let’s see, Farm’s afraid of…owls, ice, anything else?

      1. Dingo January 21, 2016 at 3:21 pm

        The dark…..

      2. Dingo January 21, 2016 at 3:22 pm

        Hoohoo

  8. Hammer January 21, 2016 at 5:58 pm

    @Dingo, great Q today, it really sucked and I’m hurting. I can’t believe this was your first time back in so long. Let’s keep it that way after this horrible Q.

    @Hugo, great partnering with you today. You’ve come a long way. #strong

  9. Hammer January 21, 2016 at 6:01 pm

    Pax1: slow down Hammer

    Pax 2: First time hearing that said.

    Nice pick me up. Lol.

  10. Slappy January 22, 2016 at 2:04 pm

    Thanks for the Q @Dingo
