YHC is coming up on 3 years in F3 and if nothing else can be gleaned from his Qs, its that they are quite often subversive in that QIC has an ulterior motive for the workout.  Today was another of those days.  So GoRuck has another rucking challenge this month consisting of 4 workouts.  Do them all, get a free patch = YHC catnip.  Some yahoo not to be named (Gapper) had a great idea to do all 4 workouts at once this coming Saturday.  QIC will be there, but can’t make it for all of it, so he would have to do one of the workouts on his own beforehand as Saturday is the last day of August.  So the Stoners once again get roped into something YHC wants to do whether they like it or not #itsgoodtobetheQ.  So after said Q gets a headstart on the beatdown with a 3 mile ruck (to satisfy the workout requirement,) he arrives to find a fairly empty lot and 5 pax (dang fellas, its like mid-60s out here!) Disclaimer delivered and we head to the basketball courts for some…

Warmarama: SSH, Merkins, WM 2.0s, Crab Jacks

The Thang:  See below graphic

QIC has his ruck and the rest of the pax grab a cinderblock.  We perform the work portion of the Bank & Yarborough workout.  It goes quicker than expected.  So we go ahead and get after the work portion of the other workout pictured (MATA Mile workout) and dang if it doesn’t go quickly as well.  Both. Done.

We got about 15 minutes so YHC leads the group into a M3 ending of sorts with some stretching to go with Mary – stretching the calves (the Q has been having some calf/plantar issues, so subversive to the end,) hamstrings, hips.  All with some Sit & Presses, American Hammers, Ws and LBCs…all with block or ruck.  Return blocks.

Recover, recover

COT: Prayers to returning students and school personnel, Sugar’s stepdad, Tomorrow is F3 Mental Battle at COTs in MeCa – not gonna cure the world here, but getting mental health in the open and being intentional about it in a strong brotherhood like ours could make a difference for any one of us.  Final “Hill” tomorrow at Highlands – Millscream.

Moleskin:  YHC only needed a coupon ruck for a mile after the workout to complete both workouts, so an additional red pill was taken and the one mile ruck back the house included a cinderblock, good times…not really.  Great work by the pax on a fairly ideal gloom morning.  Was looking like a scant 4 would be there until Stretchy and Life Alert rolled in at 0530+.  The lunges at Bellbuster yesterday did a number on the hammies, so we made sure to do more of them today…  Ty Webb appeared to be inadvertently recruited to a future M3 workout with our stretching session.  Stretchy was simply in his element.  Looking forward to the Jimmy Buffett Iron Pax Challenge extravaganza in September!!
