YHC waited…and waited…and waited for someone else to take the Q last night on Slack. When no one else, did, the planning began. After checking the weather and seeing no rain mentioned, a beatdown was planned.

Into the Gloom we ventured, 8 Pax strong, with a little bit of rain and a lot of wind. But, as YHC had planned nothing but outdoors we exemplified one of F3’s 5 Core Principles: F3 workouts or held outdoors, rain or shine.

After our first round of foot kicks en lieu of fist bumps a thorough disclaimer was given explaining the usual plus our new Covid-19-related precautions. Then off we moseyed toward the back of RRMS via the bus lot, with high knees, butt kickers, @stoli skips, and karaoke thrown in. Once there, we commenced…

Warmarama (IC)

• SSH x19
• Windmill x13
• Daisy Picker (thanks Davis Lake) x 13
• Goofball x13
• Willie Mays Hayes x10 OYO (each side)

We then headed up the hill toward (but not all the way to) the track for…

The Thang

At the entrance we partnered up (but didn’t touch). Partner 1 ran to the sand dune and back, while Partner 2 did listed exercise then switch. We repeated each thrice.

• Mountain Climbers
• Heisman
• Apolo Ohno

We then hopped the fence onto the track and reclaimed our partners. Then, as partners, we partnered up with another group. Each four-man group was the Native American run 200 meters to the other side where you complete 13 merkins. Continue the run back to the start for 13 air squats. As @kleanup noted, this was a MA!

After that lap, we came together for an eight-man native american mosey for recovery. We repeato’d three times.

After the third four-man run, we hopped back over the fence and did our recovery mosey to the front of RRMS for some dry land for…

Mary (IC)

• @poutine low flutter x13
• Todd Beamer x13
• Pretzel Crunch x13 (each side)

Then we let it hang down the right, middle, and left sides, before @poutine led us through his trademark stretching. Following that: recover, recover

COT

Moleskin

• Great work today by all. Only slight mumblechatter complaining about the rain. YHC was never going to be deterred.
• While the foot kicks were a little strange, YHC personally likes them.
• TIME LAPS(E)
• As mentioned in the COT, YHC is planning various ways to help out with the less fortunate during the pandemic. @ambassador is reaching out to CMS contacts about lunch contingencies and I’ll keep everyone posted. Let’s be the men the community thinks us to be, and that we know that we are!
• Continued prayers for Al and Tessa, good friends of @poutine, on the loss of their son. No parent should have to bury a child, so let’s continue to hope for healing and peace for them.
• Thoughts for guidance and sound judgement for those tasked with leading us through the current crisis the globe is facing.
• Do what you can to help someone today. A lot of people are anxious/scared.
