2-Year Anniversary (Almost)

July 30, 2019

WHEN: 07/30/2019
QIC: Horny Toad
PAX: Bright Idea, Quark, Grunge, Griswold, Jingles, Jinx, Rambler, Paperboy, Cricket, Chum

Energy and mumblechatter were high as the PAX slowly filtered into the parking lot. Several new folks were joining today, as well as The Rabbit faithful. Some opted for an APFT, and extra miles before the ME. Kudos.

WARMUP

  • Smurf Jacks (IC x 20)
  • Arm Circles (Forward/ Reverse – IC x 10)
  • Stretching OYO

MAIN EVENT

Head down BC Parkway for the trail entrance to Bennett Mountain. Run to the top, stop for a 10 count and some air squats while waiting for stragglers. Continue onwards toward the Veranda. It is worth noting that not a single spider web was seen, which was a pleasant surprise.

Run across the bridge to the concrete pad for a little boot camp style fun. Commence 5 Merkins, 10 LBCs, and 15 air squats while pairs of 2 sprint to the top of the hill and do 10 merkins and run back. Next 2 go up the hill while the group continues with the 5/10/15 exercises. Halfway through, double the amounts to 10/20/30.

Head back to the Clubhouse, stopping at the bridge to regroup and discuss the current status of the Beaver Patrol.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • Cricket is taking over the Rabbit as solo site-Q. As long as no thunderstorms are involved, the Rabbit will be in good hands.
  • Mark your calendars for F3 GoRuck Pinehurst on 11/16/19.
  • Next week marks the official 2 Year Anniversary celebration at the Rabbit. Cricket will be leading the 10-Mile Tuesday (4:50 start). A 5-Mile option is also available at the normal start time.

BOM

The idea of today’s workout was to duplicate my VQ at the Rabbit 2 years ago, and see if anyone figured it out. Well, no one did, but it did lead me to the subject of my BOM speech. As I was reading the backblast from my VQ, I noticed that quite a few of the PAX at that workout have left F3 for whatever reason. If you know of anyone who used to be a regular, reach out to them and see how they are doing, and ask them to come back out for a workout. It just might be the push they need to get back into F3.

It’s been a pleasure and an honor serving as the (co)site Q at the Rabbit this past year. Thanks to all for your support of the Rabbit. Without you, there would be no Rabbit. Until next time, AYE!
