Only 4 men were brave enough to enter the stormy gloom at Skywalker today.  The morning started perfectly… 0515 it was a good temp and had a bit of a light show coming from the Sky Q.  0529- still looking good- 4 pax were ready for battle.  0531-0615… rain, lightning, and lots of it!  We were determined to play the hand that was dealt so we left the AO to try out a new and exciting beatdown… The Skywalker 500.

The Thang:

• Start at grand central station (same place as Chicken Foot)
• This is a race
• Run the back 9 holes (starting with #10)
• Drop every 1/4 mile for 5 burpees
• Complete your last 5 burpees at the start/finish line and record your time
• Mileage= 3.  Burpees= 60.  Suckage= Yes.
• (Fire suit and HANS device optional)

Okay, so the name doesn’t have much/anything to do with the workout… it just sounded good but this is every F3er’s two favorite things- running and burpees.  What else could you ask for?!

The Soaking Wet Moleskin

• Well, that was possibly the wettest beatdowns I’ve ever been part of.  Completely drenched from head to toe.  Huge tclaps for you guys toughing it out.
• I dreamed up this workout with the thought of it being a race but given the weather, we decided to all stick together and complete it as a team.  We finished in 33:52 minutes.  The bar is set, now we get to crush it next time.
• Note to self/PAX- next time there’s that much electricity in the air we will call an audible and seek shelter.  #safetyfirst
