How You Like…Cards, Hills, and Hops…Now

Preamble:

• YHC had an F3 Workout Deck, a playlist, sandbags, and some jump ropes....now time to devise a BD to go with them.  After some travel for work there is nothing like a 3:30 AM wake up and an F3 Alpha Norseman Q to get you back in the swing of things. It turns out it was just what YHC needed and I hope the PAX benefited as well.
• After set up was finished, the PAX were greeted/counted, and the Disclaimer provided...we were off on a mosey down the hill to the old flag locale.

Warm-O-Rama:

• SSHs
• Weed Pickers
• Hillbillies
• Merkins
• Willie Mays Hayes
• Arm Circles

The Thang:

• PAX partnered up : an even number of PAX, so 6 teams
• Partner 1 would sandbag carry to the cone at the top of the hill then perform 5 sandbag thrusters ; sandbag carry back down the hill
• Partner 2 would pick a card from the F3 workout deck and perform the displayed exercise until the return of Partner 1
• Rinse and repeat. Pick a new card after each partner completes a round of the sandbag carry + exercise on your chosen card
• JOKER = hill sprint with 5 burpees at the top and return to the start. Plank until the sandbag partner returns

• Transition to the other side of the parking lot and keep your partner from THANG 1
• Partner 1 starts with reps of Jump Rope and alternates to Jump Squats on the sound of the gong every 30-35 seconds. Repeat alternating at each gong sound until Partner 2 returns.
• Partner 2 performs:
  • Bear Crawl to first cone up the hill
  • Switch to Bernie Sanders at the first cone up to the top of the lot hill
  • Perform 5 Mike Tysons at the top of the parking lot hill
  • Run down to the start and trade off with your partner
• Rinse and Repeat until time is called

• Time was called at roughly 0612 with a quick clean up of the standard Knight Rider kit by the PAX. Then a run up the hill back to the flag for a quick Mary of LBCs and Flutter kicks.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

• This was the Q and BD that YHC didn't know he needed. It has been a long year and YHC with many of those in my circle are feeling the effects.  Yet, I'm really aiming to close out the year strong and wish that for all the PAX. Close out the year strong and set those goals for 2025 if you haven't already. I'm looking forward to giving Thanks and spending a bit more time with the family soon.  Safe Travels to all the PAX over the holiday !!!
