“Appearing at the end of the 19th century as a blend of java +‎ mocha, by the 1920s it became slang for someone who lacked mental abilities beyond that of a cup of coffee, probably influenced by moke.”

One solo 0430 Rucker – out and back, this was especially cold. Two 0500 EC Rockers on the Croasdaile Loop, 15’29” pace. Way to work Chubbs!

Once we established that the Q assigned on the Q-sheet was not going to make it (no judgement – North Durham is far away and said Q did a GoRuck Heavy event less than a week ago…), YHC, as site Q, got things going, and everyone stepped in to help. It was a great picture of what our North Durham crew is: a good size, invested, and willing to lead. This is the culture of F3 that we need to champion and replicate daily!

Warm Up
SSH, Windmills, Harvesters, mtn Climbers, Merkins, run a lap around the parking lot.
At this point YHC referred to the PAX as a bunch of “jamokes.” YHC doesn’t know where he heard that word, or why it was in my head, but the definition according to the internet is related to someone who is dumber than a cup of coffee. YHC considers coffee quite the necessity so it’s probably a compliment? Either way, this created some good mumble chatter. 

The Thang

Bear Crawl the Lines –
First movement is a throwback to YHC’s very first post at Devil’s Ridge on a rainy February morning. There were over 20 PAX that AM and they lined up in two lines, bear crawled down a row of parking spots while the rest of the group called exercises.
YHC modified this, were the PAX lined up in two lines, first two would bear crawl down the parking lot until the first island – knock out 10 burpees, and then continue bear crawling until we reach the other side. The rest of the PAX would move in cadence on the choice of the line leaders until the crawlers reach the island, then they head out and a new exercise is called. 

Exercises while PAX crawled – Overhead Claps, Squats, SSH’s, Jump Lunges. As PAX finished, we completed Squats and then Chubbs lead the group in 3 rounds of Cherry Pickers. It was YHC’s first run through of these, and they are terrible. YHC hates them already, and looks forward to giving any future Q all the hell YHC can muster while we do them. 

Mosey to front of school for Dips
20 dips in cadence, then 5 PAX did derkins and 5 PAX did flutters, flap jack

Mr. Brady Takeover! – Mr. Brady stepped in to co-Q for the the middle section.
Mosey to back parking lot, partner up for a Dora. 100x Squats, 200 x Merkins. Travel is run from one side of the bus lot and back.
After the Dora – lunge walk from far end of the lot to the gravel road, then run to the gravel road and back to the parking lot for Mary. 

Ring of Fire Mary
LBC’s, Russian Hammer, Flutters, MTN Climbers, 5-Count Plank Hold, Freddy Mercury’s, Merkin, Heel to Heaven, and two more, YHC apologizes.
