300 Curls for the Girls

One HIM does the work, the other takes a lap around the gravel lot.

Once all groups had completed, a PAX calls his least favorite exercise and moseys to the No Parking sign and back.

Pledge and COT

Devo: Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you found him. Check-in on your brothers. Blood, and friends. The holidays can be hard, and you never know what’s going on with people. A 30 second phone call can make all the difference in someone’s world. Don’t be a dick. You can afford some grace.

Moleskin:   That one felt good. It was cold, but we managed to keep moving the entire time.

Pledge and COT

Devo: Be careful out there.   Working out hard in extreme heat and humidity for long periods of time can get you in trouble.   Don’t “push through it” if you don’t feel well.  Heat stroke can affect even the most fit of athletes.   It is no joke.

Moleskin: It was time to leave the confines of Doty and see the world before the gloom takes over in the next few months.  We actually witnessed Defib’s legs! Yes, he wore shorts.  Go figure.  We put on a show for the diners at Five Loaves.  I am sure we became a topic of discussion.  F3 advertising at its finest.  We all looked like we came out of a lake when we were done.  Deceivingly humid.

Announcements: Charleston stair climb June 19th

Devo: YHC gave testimony of the positive things F3 has done in my life.  Keep it going fellas.  A lot of people in this community needing to be reached.  Its up to you.

Moleskin:   This particular Q was the most hyped up on the final tour.  Waldo was recruiting like Dabo.  City and Swinger SCS’ed prior.  I knew that coming in.  So I was intentionally going slow into the park.  I pulled to the stop sign and looked right to make sure they weren’t there because you don’t want to be the guy that runs over your friends.  When I looked right I saw a heap of cars parked in the top parking lot.  There was also a line of cars pulling in behind me.  In that .25 mile ride back to the dog park only one of the cars that was behind me came my direction.  I pulled into the parking lot and there was no one in sight.  Then 2 others PAX joined me.  I knew something was up.  Right @ 0500 EVERYONE came running in playing Thunderstruck on a bluetooth radio.  It was a plan to surprise me and make me think no one was showing up.  However, I knew something was up and was ready to start @ 0500 with me, Placebo and Snips.  Everyone showed up and WORK was done.  Bedrock has been home for me for the last 4 years.  There have been many workouts that I’ve come in on two wheels due to my troubles with being punctual.  Countless jokes and “that’s what she said” comments.  Mumble chatter has been at an all time high.  Every man that has posted there has had in impact on my life in a way they may never know.  Thank you for accepting me and allowing me to lead.

Moleskin:   Time for a field trip.  Took advantage of the hour workout this morning and took a field trip to the concrete beast.  Jailbreaks are a good way to get heart rate up.  So are burpees.  We did a lot.  If I remember correctly Motherboard joined the ranks of people to make it through Thunderstruck without having to run.  Short list.  Thanks for the opportunity to lead

Moleskin:   Upon arrival it was raining.  Had been all night and it was cold.  During warm ups YHC mentioned to Stalker that he had contemplated calling audible on entire workout and moving it to the shelter.  Immediatley Stalker said, “If you would have moved to the shelter I would have been pissed”.  I got up @ 530 in the cold and rain and came out here… make it worth it.  I hope I accomplished that task.  Good to see Snooki back on this side of town.  He had to catch an early morning flight from Monks Corner to make it on time.   If you notice part of the workout was adjusted due to “time”.  Yea that was because that particular set of 7s was absolutely brutal.  Time wasn’t the issue.  If you can’t do it don’t Q it.

In the preblast YHC urged for 100% participation at coffeteria.  We accomplished that-ish.  Zamboni couldn’t make coffee but Borland showed up to replace him.  Everyone else made it. Good conversations were had.

Moleskin:   Sugar Mountains team got their asses handed to them over and over again.  When selecting teams it would have probably made things a bit more fair if YHC would have explained what we were going to be doing.  However, all the captains knew was there was log work involved.  Sugar picked his team based on strength while Cheetah picked his on speed.  Cheetah prevailed….every time.  Cheetah’s team even felt sorry and joined in on the last set of burpees.  Lastly, the slide @ the Ponds may be the most fun slide in all of Charleston.
