Preamble:

YHC teased the PAX there would be a turf war at stake and to wear red or blue. 2 pre-runners were on the run when YHC arrived to setup in the pool parking lot. 17 total PAX answered the call and at 5:30am, YHC gave a quick disclaimer and we hit the gloom. Included was the FNG who pretty much had EH'd himself.

Warm-O-Rama:

Typical warmup, run around the pool parking lot islands doing a variety of exercises. Circle up for SSH, Weed Twisters, Imperial Walker and probably something else.

The Thang:

Grab a coupon and head over to the battle ground that YHC setup near his car in the pool parking lot. Instructions were given which included a quick trip back to 1994 when Tupac was shot 5 times and the East Coast West Coast rapper wars began. Red Team on one side and Blue Team on the other. The board included 4 rounds of exercises. When a West Coast rap song would play, the red team was given a slight cut through on the run giving them a small advantage on their turf. And vice versa. Songs from artists included Tupac, Biggie, Snoop, Jay Z and a few others.
  • ROUND 1:  10 burpees, 20 curls, 30 squats, 40 plank jacks, 50 SSH
  • RUN
  • ROUND 2: 10 merkins, 20 overhead press, 30 lunge, 40 mtn climber, 50 LBC
  • RUN
  • ROUND 3: 10 Mike Tyson, 20 skull crush, 30 imperial walker, 40 second plank, 50 flutters
  • RUN
  • ROUND 4: 10 Bonnie Blairs, 20 Rows, 30 smurf jacks, 40 shoulder tap, 50 feet bear crawl
  • RUN
After 4 rounds the East Coast was winning 3-1. The heart rate was up so we took a quick Mary break before going back into Round 5, which was a repeat of Round 1. Time running out, head back to the flag for 3 minutes of Mary.

COT:

Prayer request was asked for Devito's daughter's friend and the struggles she is going through. Prayers were spoken for NLB guys and the support they need. Welcome FNG Wet Bandit, aka Erik Lingvall. He is married to a cousin of mine and he proactively reached out to join us this week in the gloom. He will be a great addition to F3 Alpha. Great coffeeteria followed including both hot and cold coffee. False Start shared an impactful TNT about what is "normal" and how our perception of this word is in itself jaded.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Always honored to lead. -Cookie
