A few days ago, YHC got a text from @Triple Threat telling me he would be making an appearance at Davis Lake. Him posting with us plus YHC STILL not wanting to do too much running at bootcamps post BRR equaled a great opportunity to break out something I believe @Triple Threat brought to a Saturday workout last year. B.L.I.M.P.S.! 14 other men humored me and it went like this:

Warmorama
Short Mosey
SSH x 15 IC
IST x 15 IC
Windmills x 15 IC
MC x 15 IC

The Thang:

B – Burpees
L – Lunges
I – Imperial Storm Troopers
M – Mericans
P – Plank Jacks
S – Squats

We started with 10 reps (single) for burpees, 10 reps each side for lunges, and the rest in cadence and worked our way down to 1. For those keeping count at home, that equates to 55 burpees, 55 lunges each leg, 110 ISTs, 110 mericans, 110 plank jacks, and 110 squats. Good work!

Moleskin:

1) Deprive @Class V of sleep and alcohol and he can actually be quiet. Who knew?!
2) @Febreeze can actually do full air squats. Who knew?!
3) Congratulations to @Bluebird who celebrated his one year F3 anniversary today. #veteran
4) YHC had to laugh at himself when I proclaimed I never get lost when leading cadence/exercises and then did just that. Just means it was a good workout.
5) Although @Triple Threat says we did everything in cadence when he Q’d this last year, I don’t remember it that way…but I liked it this way better. #stealingit #claimingit
6) Lots of new faces since I last posted on a weekday. Good work to all the men that have been EH’ing people they care about to come join us. 15 men without a lot of the usual suspects (@King Julian, @Piston, @SchoolBus) is impressive. We came really close to a #problematic workout this morning. Let’s keep it going!

Announcements:
9/19 – HEC starts up. Refer to the preblast and/or contact McFeely or Triple Threat with questions
9/19 – Davis Lake book study – Kingdom Man, Q’d by @King Julian and @Two Step. Mondays, 6-7am at Chick-Fil-A.

I’ll leave you with a quote I read this morning:

“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”

Have a good day!

Davis Lake
