100% chance of rain and the possibility of thunderstorms kept most PAX safely in their beds. However, three PAX slipped on our orthoepic shoes and shuffled our way to TBL. Some very solid numbers this morning (when looked at combined age- NOT total number of PAXs).
As I pulled into the AO this morning, Led Zeppelin’s “Fool in the Rain” started playing- appropriate, I think.
A warm up consisting of SSH, arm circles, willie mayes hayes, imperial walkers, hillbillies, and some Uzi inspired rotations through down on our back or down or our stomachs.
It was raining, dark, and cold so no time for anything other than a good old fashioned pyramid to keep us warm and moving.

Merkin, LBC, Squat, flutter kick, SSH, burpee x1, x 5, x10, x15, x20, x15, x10, x5, x1
The last round of five burpees were eight count man-makers.
In between each round we ran to the field’s end line and back as a bit of a “breather”.
Unfortunately, the rock pile was several feet under water so we bypassed that area and headed to the basket ball courts.
Three rounds of People’s Chair and balls to the wall took us up to time for Mary.
Mary consisted of LBC x 50 and some plank holds.
Hip and lower body stretches rounded out the end of Mary
COT: Bitcoin shared that his mother is doing much better. Thank you to the awesome F3 guys helping with her care.
YHC took us out with a reminder to make the world around us a better place by being a positive influence on those around us.
Coffee was well earned today because once the actual rain stopped, the temperature dropped quickly.
Overall, it was a tough morning to step out the door into pouring rain. Getting in my car and finding out that my rear car windows were open all night did not really help much- o’well … stuff happens.
It’s days like this when you embrace and share the “suck” with other PAX like Peppermint Patty and Bit coin that make F3 a truly special experience.
