There’s a 30% Chance It’s already Raining…

December 8, 2017

WHEN: 12/08/2017
QIC: Appomattox
PAX: Adolphus, Grunge, Red October, Rudy, Big Cat, Checkmate, Manafort, Vandelay, Dean Wormer, Boo Boo, Homes, Spooky, Farfegnugen, Slug, Kevin!, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Swingline, Nookie, Smokes, Fingers, Boucher, Singlet, Quicken, Rebar

YHC awoke extra early on this dreary Friday morning for a premature Christmas: his VQ.  Crafted over the course of the week with insight provided by Adolphus, YHC looked forward to sharing it with the Bastille faithful.  But would anyone appear out of the gloom, with the forecast calling for freezing rain and temperatures in the high 30s?

As always, it was a mistake to underestimate the fortitude of the men of F3Churham.  A whopping 25 PAX materialized out of the fog, and we were off.

Warm Up:

SSH x 20

WMH x 10

Windmill x 10

Mountain Climbers x 10

Merkins x 10 (emphasis on form).

Mosey to the far end of Southern Village Green.

The Thang:

YHC has long been a fan of both partnered exercises and of the hill on Brookline climbing from Copperline to the Southern Village Green, and decided to combine the two.  PAX partnered up, and completed the following, with one from each pair running down the hill and back up and the other performing the exercise:

Round 1: 100 merkins (hold plank while awaiting the six)

Round 2: 200 BWS (North Korean people’s chair)

Round 3: 100 count LSF (Leg hold, followed by LBCs)

Round 4 (BONUS ROUND!): 100 Carolina Drydocks (hold plank)

Not until he was driving home did YHC realize the wasted potential for a final bear crawl up the hill.  Alas.

Form two lines, Ricky Bobby back to Southern Community Park for some Mary.  En route, the rain began in earnest.  Undaunted, PAX went to their sixes.  Going dealer’s choice around the circle, PAX completed:

WWIIs x 20

Burpees x 15 (thanks to Slug, who shattered YHC’s burpee-free workout at the last minute).

LSF x 30

A plank potpourri

Heels to Heaven x 20

A personal note: YHC started coming out to F3 a little over six months ago, and it has fundamentally altered what is otherwise a highly sedentary lifestyle and introduced me to a remarkable community of men.  Thanks to all the Churham PAX for encouragement (tacit and explicit), and to those who have challenged YHC and all to work harder, go further, and lead more.
