YHC took the crowd pleasing Longbow 11s to the Country Club but, with a twist.  The mumble chatter was strong, as usual for Bedrock.  Considering the moaning & groaning a sufficient thrashing was enjoyed by all.  YHC smoke checked YHC on this one. SSSHUSH!

COP: SSH, IW, T3, DonQ

THANG:  Mosey to the coupons – 80, 60, 50, 40 pound sandbags, execute Longbow 11s (Burpees x Squats) as a group, end-to-end of Wescott Park (AKA the Country Club) whilst carry the coupons.  Tactical pause midway for a mixed bag of sweet Mary x25.

The Thang:  The PAX was split into two teams of four.  Six “stations” were designated around the park.  Easy In had a paper explaining what to do and a traffic cone at each station.

The idea was the same at each station.  When the group arrived to the station, they would perform the prescribed exercise until failure.  When the first person on the team reached failure, they stopped and performed 3 burpees OYO.  Once they completed the burpees, the individual started the exercise again.  When the same person reached failure the second time, the rest of the group stopped performing the exercise.  If someone in the group reached failure prior to the first person reaching failure the second time, they would do their three burpees then start doing the same exercise until the first person reached failure the second time.

When the team completed the exercise, the entire team bear crawled around a designated area.  When the first person finished the bear crawl around, the rest of the team would stop bear crawling.  The team would then move to the next station according to the instruction sheet.

The stations/exercises were as follows:

Station – Bedrock Flag

****THE KICKER!!!!!****

Any time the two groups passed each other, ballroom dancing took place.  By ballroom dancing, we mean a burpee competition between the groups.  Each group had to perform 10 burpees per person before the other team completed theirs.  Total number of burpees was 40 per team.  The losing team had a penalty of 5 burpees each.

Devo: The reason behind the “ballroom dancing” is because Robin Wood, an F3 brother who attended BC’s at Bedrock, lost his battle with COVID last week.  He enjoyed ballroom dancing.  Everyone needs to make sure we make time for fun things like ballroom dancing, because you never know when your time is up.  Three’s Company shared his experience fighting COVID and that when you’re very sick, you learn to appreciate everything.  Even something as small as taking a drink of water.  It was also mentioned to have your affairs in order before you pass.  Losing you will be hard enough on your friends and family, don’t make it harder for them to know what to do next.

Announcements: Saturday workout and upcoming events.

Conditions: Mid 70’s

FNG: None

COP: TTT’s, SSH, Imperial Walker, LBAC Fw/Rev

The Thang: Grab blocks and meet at the yield sign.  PAX made their way up to the parking lot by the fire stations.  PAX then performed Blackjack (11’s but with 21 reps total) OYO.  PAX performed one Squat w/block, ran to the other end of the parking lot and performed 20 Murican’s.  This continued until time was called.  PAX then made their way back to the circle, stowing their blocks.

Mary: No time today.

Devo: Don’t forget to work on your mental health and fitness.  Learn to put out things that take a mental toll on you, such as arguments in politics and religion.  Also work on your mental fitness by reading books, and completing puzzles that cause you to think.  There are some studies that something as simple as a Sudoku or crossword puzzle being completed a day can help prevent Alzheimer’s.

Announcements: Saturday workout and upcoming events.

Moleskin: First, the entire region needs to work on getting numbers up.  There are men in our community that need F3.  Some may have posted before and are not showing up for one reason or another, or may not know of F3 at all.  We need to reach out and spread the word.  Second, if performing blackjack, it may be beneficial not to make your way across the park.  No member of PAX was able to complete all rounds within the time constraints.

Conditions: 66-ish, clear skies. No earthquakes.

Rinse and Repeat

The PAX partnered up with a battle buddy. One held a plank while the other ran to the lamp post and did 10 burpees, ran back then switched. Same concept except this time one held a leg lift at 6″ while the other ran to the lamp post and did 20 squats, ran back and switched. Same concept again, except this time one held an Al Gore while the other ran to the lamp post and did 30 2-count flutter kicks.

The PAX did an Indian run to the baseballs and repeated the battle buddy scenario above.

The PAX then did an Indian run back and sprinted back to the flag about halfway there.
