Another Splashback Q – another trip down the archives of F3 backblasts in search of inspiration. Saw a few “4 corners” routines that caught my eye – but I couldn’t make it work in my head when thinking about the layout at the wall. So I pulled up google maps and went in search of nearby areas that 1. – Didn’t have a lot of morning traffic (or so I hoped) and 2. – had reasonable distances for the modes of travel I had in mind. Only took a minute before Boulder park caught my eye and I thought – we haven]t been over there in a while – lets do that! So off we go:
Warmup:
20 Imperial Walkers IC
10 Good Mornings IC
Arm Circles – forward and back
10 WMH
The Thang:
Mosey to the top of the hill leading down to BC Parkway.
Crawl Bear down to the first street lamp. Significant mumble chatter ensued regarding the distances between the lights and why they suddenly seemed so far apart…
Trivia Time: On this date in history Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes got divorced. How long were they married? 6, 7 or 8 years? DB thought it was 7 but the PAX rallied around Nighthawk who thought it was 6. Should have trusted DB – the answer is 7 – so 7 Burpees all around.
Mosey over to Boulder Park.
4 Corners. Start with one exercise then a different mode of travel to the next one adding an exercise at each.
Corner 1:10 Burpees
Crab Walk to Corner 2
Corner 2: 10 Burpees, 20 Merkins
Mosey to Corner 3
Corner 3: 10 Burpees, 20 Merkins, 30 Jump Squats
Bear Crawl to Corner 4
Corner 4: 10 Burpees, 20 Merkins, 30 Jump Squats, 40 Monkey Humpers
Mosey to Corner 1
Corner 1: 10 Burpees, 20 Merkins, 30 Jump Squats, 40 Monkey Humpers, 50 Side Shuffle Hops
Mosey back to the base of our first hill. Bear Crawl to the first light. More complaining about said lights
Trivia Time Part 2: On this date in 1962 The Cuban Missile Crisis Began. How many days did it last? I gave the PAX a hint that there was a Kevin Costner movie with the answer in the title because I was whooped. Chum came through with the answer – 13 days. 13 Squats all around.
Mosey back to the AO.
Mary:
Only LBCs today.
100 of them IC.

Nothing profound today – just thanks to everyone for coming out. F3 continues to consistently be one of the best parts of y day so I’m grateful for this group and everyone who helps keep it going. Until next time – AYE!
Moleskine:
Backblast title obviously comes from The Big Lebowski – one of the best and most quotable movies ever. Some solid references to that flick in the Mumblechatter this morning and that always makes me smile.
