My 2.0 turned 5 today, which is hard to believe.  Today’s beatdown was dedicated to her.  It involved a lot of 3’s and 5’s and included a visitor from our brothers up in Boone (welcome @ShakeandBake).  With 9 of F3’s finest in attendance, it went a little something like this:

Mosey to the back parking lot beside the track with a little Google Bun Shapers to wait on the late arriving PAX to join us.  (Shout out to Google, I didn’t read his comment last night, but Gordo and Pav did and thought it may have inspired the Google Bun Shapers.  Nope, great minds just think a like.)

The Thang (In honor of my 2.0’s 5^th birthday, we are doing a lot of 3’s and 5’s).

The Thang:

Triple Nickle – run to top of the big hill, do 5 jump squats, run to bottom of big hill, do 5 Apollo Ono’s (both legs = 1) – Rinse and Repeat x 3 (the hill was a little more dangerous than I had anticipated)

Triple Check – mosey to skunk wall and break up into groups of 3.  Partner 1 does donkey kicks, Partner 2 does plank jack, while Partner 3 runs up to the bleachers and back.  Partner 3 then does the donkey kicks, Partner 1 plank jacks and Partner 2 runs.  Continue to rotate through.  Rinse and Repeat x 3.

Announcements:

The Gremlin – January 18, 2020.  Sign-up guys, it is to remember one of our fallen brothers.  It is OUR CSAUP.  You can modify as needed.  You can leave early.  You can come late.  It is FREE. You have no excuses.  Let’s do this.

This Saturday – Breakfast and a Beatdown at Tradition.  A beatdown with a breakfast to follow courtesy of the men’s group at the AO’s church.  Should be good times and good food.

Time Laps(e) – I will be sending out a Pre-Blast soon with more details, but as everyone who has participated will attest (sans maybe Glock), it is an amazing experience.

The Mortimer 100 – I am not sure if we have a team anymore, but don’t forget that CSAUP being put together by our brothers up in Hickory.  Should be an epic experience if anyone was to get a team together.

COT:

I want to thank @Brinkley for talking @Sparty and myself into going to our first F3 beatdown.  It has truly changed my life.  It has helped to make me a better husband to my beautiful wife and a better father to my 2.0’s, and for that I will forever be grateful.  As @Chowder so eloquently put it on Tuesday, don’t ever forget to hug those 2.0’s gentlemen.
