Introduction

Tourniquet and Bedpan gently nudged me to Q at the Ridge last week, as they were in search of a burner for the new PAX.  Tourniquet graciously gave up his Tuesday Q and I prepared one of my favorite workouts: a simple asskicker.  It seems like Urkel may be on to this as well;)

I rolled in at 0505 to find a good 10 PAX already mulling about.  By the time 0510 rolled around, we needed to mosey over to the grass in order to have enough room for the 36 that showed.  Appletini rolled in at 0513, with a brand new toy that may or may not be used at the July 4th Convergence

Warm-O-Rama

  1.  SSH x30 IC
  2. Mary Catherine’s x15 IC
  3. Smurf Jacks x20 IC

We then lined up in  lines for an Indian Run to the west side of the hill.

At the bottom of the hill, we lined up and on Dilly’s go, we raced to the top of the hill for 1 burpee, and back down to the bottom of the opposite side for another burpee.

The Thang

We partnered up and played a game of Hand Release Prison Cell Merkin Burpee Chase.

  1.  PAX 1 – completes 10 HRPCMBs
  2. PAX 2 – runs to the top of the hill, hangs a right and proceeds down a .28mi loop to catch their partner and then complete their HRPCMBs

Rounds continued in a descending fashion (10, 9, 8…) if you were following directions;).  PAX were also instructed to keep track of their Kills (Ragnar stle).  2 points for passing their partner and 1 for any other PAX.

We got to 5 and then proceeded to Thang 2.

Thang 2 – Heartbreak 1,2,3

PAX were asked to partner up with a new partner.  This time to complete:

  1.  100 Merkins, 200 Slalom Mountain Climbers, 300 Squats together as a team; PAX 1 runs, while PAX 2 ran the hill, upon returning for a flippy floppy.

Time constrained, we got through 100 merks, 100 SMCs and 50 Squats

Mary

  1.  Spider Mountain Climbers – x15 IC
  2. James Bonds (the FIB version) x15 IC on each side
  3. Captain Thor 6:24

Circle of Trust

Naked Man Moleskin

Appletini requested a much needed AAR, which we have gotten away from lately.  I thanked him after, as we all need to be knocked off our Pride Pedestal on a regular basis.

I ended by asking all PAX to step up and be leaders in this time where the world is trying to divide us and make us choose a side (often a political one), or an extreme.  That is the exact opposite of what we are asked to do as F3 men.  We need to unite and bring people together. That requires listening and respecting other’s opinions. It doesn’t mean we have to agree on everything either.  I’d argue it also means having a real, face to face, human conversation, and not hiding behind the protective walls of social media.
