No Theme Thursday
All Highlands BackblastsAugust 17th, 2017
16 men got stronger this morning in the hot and humid gloom. After threats of a cinder block heavy beat down, @Disaster was compelled to change into his heavy gloves. #TenderHands? #BabyHands? Definitely #SmallHands. In any event, flag planted, disclaimer given and we were off.
Mosey to golf course parking lot:
Warmarama:
- SSH x 15 IC
- Windmill x 15 IC
- Merkin x 15 IC
- Plank Jack x 15 IC
The Sweaty Thang:
Line up at the end of the parking lot for a round suicides
- Run to first island and back, 5 Burpees
- Run to second island and back, 10 Air Squats
- Run to third island and back, 15 Plank Jacks
- Run a lap
- Repeato x 3
Mosey down the road to small hill on side of golf course
- At the bottom of the hill @Barrister was given the choice for the Pax; attack the wet, dark, overgrown hill from whence we came or take advantage of the freshly mowed, flat turf staring back at us. @Barrister opted for the hill; excellent decision.
- Bear Crawl up, 20 LBCs
- Run down, 20 Merkins
- Repeato x 3
Mosey across the street and grab some wall. It appeared most of the Pax had a sense for what was next as there was a mad dash for the shorter section of the wall.
- Muscle Ups x 10
- Low Flutter x 20
- In either order as the wall was a bit congested
Mosey to the back of the school and the all too familiar rail
- Derkins x 10 OYO
- Incline Merkins x 15 OYO
- Dips x 20 OYO
- Repeato x 3
As there was still some time left, mosey to the back of the school and grab some wall
- Wall Sits x 60 seconds
- 5 Burpees
- Wall Sits x 30 Seconds
- 5 Burpees
Mosey back for Mary. If you had anything left, make it a jail break.
Even Sweatier Mary:
- Mason Twist x 20 IC
- Box Cutter x 15 IC
- Airborne Mind Bender x 30 seconds
The Completely Dripping in Sweat Moleskin:
- It was nasty out there this morning; @Barrister dripping from his hat, @Alcatraz’s ankles sweating (his words not mine), YHC’s gloves had puddles in them.
- One more needed for the lake Norman Run the Basin Relay. See @Bootstrap if interested.
- The Shield has experienced some low numbers recently. As you get back into the school/Fall routine, consider attending a future event. Rumor has it there may be some BBQ involved.
- If you’ve ever had an interest in rucking, see the daily email or Slack rucking channel. Efforts are underway to have an F3 MECA specific GoRuck Tough March 16, 2017. Need some more HCs to make it happen.
- Noticed @Help Desk is looking quite svelte these days. #F3Results
- No Theme Thursday in honor of @Gump this morning. Alas, there was no @Gump in the Pax.
- Enjoyed it men! Hope you did.

#PuddleGloves is the new standard for excessive sweat.
Great lead this morning. When #mumblechatter gets replaced with #grumblechatter you know you did something right.
Well done @Kleanup. I can’t remember the last time I was this tired after a beatdown. If I fall asleep at work today I’m blaming you.
I may have small hands but I can verify that I have never described another man as being svelte. Or ever used the word svelte for that matter. #justsaying
Happy to be of service @Disaster. I might have to keep this beatdown handy and break it out again.
@Kleanup great beatdown. I am not sure my hat has ever been that drenched in sweat.
I am just glad we had no snake bites on the hill. Definitely needs to be mowed.
Great Lead @Kleanup. My shirt must have weighed ~5lbs at the end of that beatdown.
