YHC started out this BEATDOWN (originally called Chutes & Ladders) by inquiring where the big hill (Capitol Hill) was in Davis Lake and the mumble chatter began. “It’s too far away.” “It’s too tall.” “There’s snakes there.” (That officially changed the name to Snakes & Ladders) Not feeling like taking any more crap, YHC started with a very short mosey from the cars to the base of the entry hill to the parking lot.

Warmup – IC

SSH – 15
IST – 15
Cotton Pickers – 14 (Oops)
Windmill – 16 (Nailed it)
The mumble chatter was in full force but I knew how to fix it.

Indian Run towards Capitol Hill…much like Christopher Columbus fell far short of his goal (and named something Indian that had nothing to do with the indigenous people he met), we did an audible and stopped at Mole Hill – a 15 foot tall 70° embankment about half way to our intended destination. Praise God, the mumble chatter was nearly dead.

Ladder 1
Bottom of the hill – 10 ‘merkins
Top of the hill – 1 Squat
Each time, ‘merkins go down by 1 and squats go up by 1 (always adds up to 11)
I looked at my watch and didn’t think we would have time for a second ladder because there were only about 10 more minutes until we had to get back to HQ, I informed the men thusly.

Ladder 2 (there was no more mumble chatter, just the sound of men trying to breathe)
Top of the hill – 1 LBC’s
Bottom of the hill – 10 Carolina Dry Docks
Each time, CDD go down by 1 and LBC’s go up by 1 (always adds up to 11)
The men scooted through this laddder so quickly that we actually did have 10 minutes to get back to HQ and do…another ladder!  I informed the men thusly.

Slowsey back to the rocks by the playground for…

Ladder 3 with Rocks
Top of the hill – 10 Curls
Bottom of the hill – 1 Skull Crusher (quadrophilia back up the hill)
Each time, curls go down by 1 and skull crushers go up by 1 (always adds up to 11)
When we started this ladder, we had 10 minutes to Mary (finally!) I informed the men thusly.
Being a bit mischievous, YHC would shout out 10 more minutes every 2 sets to give some reverse mumble chatter. Also giving me the final name of this BEATDOWN…10 More Minutes

No time for ladder 4, we did a cack-a-lack-a-choo-choo down one way and back the other. Mosey to the cars for Mary

Mary – IC
J-Lo – 10
Low Flutter – 10
Low Dolly – 10
Rosalita – 10
Circle ‘merk – 5

Moleskin

1. Thinking about what Man Down is going through and how he is leaning on God, his family, and F3 is inspiring. We spent our entire prayer shield time praying for him and that his F3 Nation brothers would be there to help him in whatever capacity he might need.
