41 years ago, today, something truly miraculous and earth shattering occurred. This event would forever shape the course of human and F3 history. Little did most people know at the time, but Floyd was being delivered by robot assassin storks. Some current PAX who had preceded Floyd by a few years may have felt the whisper of power shifting in the world”s magnetic flow. Other PAX weren”t even a gleam in their F3 father or FiA mother”s eyes. Some F3 PAX wouldn”t be born for a decade or more. That”s right, 41 years ago today, the Floyd plank was born.
EC: 4 PAX ran 2 miles and did pull-ups on the Tobacco Trail
ME: 10 PAX did the following:
Warm-up
SSH x 41
LBAC x 10
LBAC reverse x 10
Willie Mays Hayes x 15
Indian Run x 1/3 mile
The Thang: Mosey on over to the PAINground for some random stuff.
Random event #1:
Bring Sally Up. We all know this one by now. I bet Moby”s lyrically diverse song is already playing in your brain. Low plank on “Bring Sally down.” High plank on “Bring Sally up.” Once your muscles fatigue and you collapse in the sorry heap you knew would eventually happen, change to low squat and high squat.
Randome event #2:
41 pull-ups
41 burpees
All to the musical stylings of JayZ and Biggie
Indian Run 1/3 mile
Random event #3
Thunderstruck. Again, you know the drill. Merkin every time the word “Thunder” is uttered. You”ve been Floyd struck! Na na na na na na.
Random event #4
41 air squats
41 Dips
41 Jump squats
41 Jump lunges (each leg)
Done to the musical accompaniment of The Game and The Fugees.
At this point, the older PAX (Gen Xers) got to make fun of the Millennials in the group and in general. Good times.
Indian Run 1/3 mile
Random event #5
Burpee Busters. Maybe not as well known in F3 circles as Moby or AC/DC, but this one should be. Because Floyd is a year older and closer to death, he will be a ghost sooner than his younger PAX brothers. So whenever the whenever Ray Parker Jr or the chorus says the word “Ghost” you do a burpee. In between burpees, you get to rest by alternating side shuffle hops and air squats
Mary:
41 count Floyd plank (Thanks Doogie!)
