PAX: 3-Peat, Chowda, Cynaide, Green Egg, Tatertot, Mr. Brady, Crockett, Prosecco, Soda Popinksi, Roach, Blue Indian, FNG Frozen Peas

YHC squealed in on two wheels after encountering a live 2.5yr old in the FS at 0400 and a closed section of 15-501 enroute to Hurricanrana.  Appropriately – Mr. Brady reminded YHC that we were not on Chapel Hill time…(true) – but I thought F3 Durham time was always 2 minutes behind schedule?! (#Floyd!)

After coupons were dumped from the trunk, Tater had already bestowed the disclaimer upon our FNG (later given ‘Frozen Peas’ as his F3 name) and we were ready to rock.

Warm up
Mosey around the parking lot loop, weaving our way through the kiddo drop-off line and back to the start.
SSH (x40 IC)
BWS (x10 IC)
Burpees (x5 OYO)
Arm Circles (fwd/rev x10 IC)
Burpees (x5 OYO)
Merkin Pyramid (Yes – Mr. Brady.  Still part of the warmup!)

The Thang
Quickly divide into 3 teams (2 teams of 4; I team of 5).
Team 1 grabs the sand & steel for choose your own adventure with coupons.
10 reps of whatever you want with as many bags/KBs as time allows.  Change out teams once the other 2 groups have completed their parking lot loop and the 6 is picked up.
Repeato (x2) until all teams have run the loop twice and thrown coupons once.
We made a short mosey to the next parking lot section to put the lines to good use.
Starting with the first parking lot line; 5 merkins.  Then to the next line; 5 merkins.
Repeato at each line (x12) until reaching the end and making the turn.
On the return segment down the other side of the parking lot; 5 BWS at each line (x12).
Recover in plank with an additional 20 merkins thrown in to keep it fresh and our muscles warm.

We finished off with a final run loop around the 2.0 drop-off loop in front of the school.
Luckily, there were signs with number (5..4..3..2..1) spaced approx. 10 yards apart which beckoned to be doubled and matched with that same number of burpees.  10..8..6..4..2.

Prayer Requests – Soda’s buddy who is facing a cancer battle.  Prayers for him and his family to give them strength through this challenge.

Today was the perfect reminder of how awesome it is to step outside of your normal weekly AOs and to hit a new workout you haven’t been to in a while (or ever!).  YHC can still remember the time when we had fewer choices to post during the week and the only faces I didn’t recognize were the FNGs who happened to post that day.   Today I was fortunate to see some old (literally) faces, new ones and be present to meet FNG Frozen Peas at his first post.   This was truly a great reminder of what an incredible thing were have and are lucky enough to be a small part of.
