The 2nd Greatest Workout Ever!!!

Preamble:

YHC was gonna in town from F3 Carpex (Cary, NC) and wanted to post at the semi-world famous AO known as The Wreck.  After stirring the pot on The Wreck Slack site, YHC stole to Q for Friday from Donor.  Problem was, YHC wasn’t thinking clearly at the time—–turrible idea to sign up to Q the morning after Thanksgiving dinner with the fam.  Probably shouldn’t have had those last two bourbon drinks, nor partook in another slice of pie at 10:00 pm.  The only saving grace was The Wreck start time was pushed to 0700, so hangover was manageable.

YHC entered The Wreck at 0630 to perform a bit of recon.  Problem was after jogging for 2 min, Thanksgiving dinner/dessert/and Angel’s Envy started grumblin around, so YHC had to find a latrine—–but could only find the women’s room, which luckily was unlocked, but also the heat was on at a balmy 90 degrees—whew.  After no recon, YHC returned to The Shovel Flag where the PAX were waiting.   Not gonna lie, I was extremely nervous to come face-to-face with the PAX I ribbed on Slack, particularly Swamp ‘resistance bands’ Donkey.  He was nowhere to be seen—-whew.

Warm-O-Rama:

After pleasantries and apologies from YHC from stirring the pot on Slack, we performed the Pledge of Allegiance and off we went.

On the mosey with a mixture of butt kicks, high knees, and side shuffles. Up the big hill to a parking lot where we commenced a warm-o-rama, all in perfect cadence from YHC:  Invisible Jump Rope, Sir Fazio Arm Circles—>Good Mornings—>Michael Phelps, merkins, mountain climbers, and Air Force Ones.

After that, we Painted The Lines on the way to the short hill next to tennis courts.

The Thang:

Partner Up:  partner 1 runs to bottom of hill for 5 Sumo Squat Jumps, whilst partner 2 performs x 10 SSH, Plank Jacks, and squats.  FlapJack x 3 sets.

Catch-Me-If-You-Can with x 5 Bobby Hurleys:  all the way to the shelter at the playground.

Core at the Shelter x 14 reps each:  LBCs, Freddie Mercs, Low Slow Flutter, and something else I can’t remember.

Continue with CMIUC with x 3 Carolina Dry Docks until we get to the football field, which, after a pause for some Smurf Jacks, is where we performed some Agility City:  variety of fast feet exercises x 10 (tandem, side hops, and MC Hammers) every 10 yds for 100 yds, then a progressive sprint on the way back.

Mosey to the mini-shelter at the playground for a modified Jacob’s Ladder with partner:  partner 1 runs up the stairs for burpee with Star Jump, whilst partner 2 performs x 15 dips and Irkins.

Double Applesauce back to The Shovel Flag to finish up with LBCs, Homer-to-Marge, and E2Ks.

COT:

• Announcements:
  1.  Donor collecting stuff (forgot if it was food or clothing) that will be delivered to those in need via a ruck.  Believe his deadline is 12/10 (or maybe 12/14?).    2.  Betty Crocker announced GroRuck in 2023 will be in Savannah.
• Prayers:
  • for all those traveling over the Thanksgiving holiday
  • for GT tomorrow against the DAWGS

Naked-Man Moleskin:

• Beautiful morning with no rain.  Great site yall got there at The Wreck!
• YHC was thankful that the guys were so welcoming and didn’t take me poking fun on Slack seriously.
• Young man named Vader (9 yo) from Savannah was a beast!!!
• Again, YHC was super nervous that Swamp ‘resistance band’ Donkey was gonna be there and squish YHC like an ant——boy was I relieved he wasn’t there………but……..
• ……YHC stopped at CrazyLove to pick up a coffee/hot chocolate for the fam.   I walk in and see 2 dudes sitting at a table…..my heart about came up in my throat from what I saw, and my heart was frickin’ racing.   Could it be?  No way!  It was freakin’ Swamp Donkey and Squeegee.  I purposely did not make any eye contact whatsoever.   Then I hear….”Hey Flip Flop”.   Shit, he saw me.  I’m a dead man.   YHC sheepishly walked over and Swamp Donkey started laughing and saying how funny the resistance band comment was——OMG I thought he was gonna crush me, but instead we had a cup of coffee together.   That’s what F3 is all about!!!
• until next time, luv, Flip Flop
