Total # of PAX: 3

Number of FNGs: 0

QIC: Manning

INTRO:

So, YHC has been thinking about running the Woodmont cart path for a little while and yesterday seemed as good as anytime to give it a whirl. It’s always fun going on unsanctioned-black ops-rogue adventures in the name of F3.

I tossed the idea out there on The Happy Jack channel and got two bites. We decided to meet at the tennis courts and figure out just how far it is to run this course…

WARM-O-RAMA:

We collectively decided to run the course 1-18 vs 18-1 figuring that the hills would be in our favor. I’m not sure how true that is, but it was definitely easier for me to work in my burpee plan. 

Mosey down behind the clubhouse, past the pool, and up to tee box #1 where we did some running related stretching and warmups.

Click on the headlamps, and off we went…

THE THANG:

#1 – Par 5. Light jog down the long path and TM wonders if we will be bothering any of the early rising residents.  5 burpees at the green

#2 – Par 3. No time to talk. 3 burpees.

#3 – Par 4. TM notices some icy spots, and Hombre is fascinated by Venus, and the waxing gibbous moon. 4 burpees.

#4 – Par 4. I make this hole way harder than it is when I play 🙁  4 burpees

#5 – Par 4. I hate this hole. Narrow fairway. And we woke up Cujo. 4 burpees. EL? HOMBRE wonders where Woz lives…4 burpees

#6 – Par 3. Woz’s hole. We all shine our lights onto his house. Good morning Bob! 3 burpees

#7 – Par 4. Easy hole. Looking for deer. Starting to wonder how far we’ve run. 4 burpees.

#8 – Par 4. Tough hole. Pulte (home builder) sucks according to TM. There’s Venus again. Wake up a family of 8 deer. 4 burpees.

#9 – Par 5. Long gradual uphill. Should we do 5 burpees at the green or up at the top of the steep hill? EL? HOMBRE takes off up the hill. Well, ok then. 3.02 miles at the turn. 5 burpees.

#10 – Par 5. Long downhill, gradual uphill. Let’s try 5 decline burpees.

#11 – Par 3. Short par 3, all carry. EL? HOMBRE is very emotional today. Thought I heard something about the beauty of this hole. We realize that we’re about a driver/3 wood from the homes of Tic Tac/Natty Lite/Misty/C4/Harp and a bunch of other WM sad clowns. 3 severe decline burpees. Bad idea…

#12 – Par 4. The house the fried chicken built. 4 burpees, and farewell Titlemax who circles back to get the boy to hoops.

#13 – Par 3. I think this is where we start talking about the 24 hour Blue Ridge Challenge race. 3 burpees.

#14 – Par 4. No need to press the light. EL? HOMBRE starting to freak me out about the 24 hour BRC. Something about heat stroke, laying in a river, 4 inches of snow, and a giant bonfire. Ummm, you’re freaking me out bro. 4 burpees.

#15 – Par 3. We discuss running on the actual course next time assuming there’s no frost. 3 burpees

#16 – Par 5. My favorite hole. It’s where we go sledding, and where you can make a stupid decision to go for the green in 2. 5 burpees.

#17 – Par 4. Uh oh, the man, the myth, the legend is having some tummy problems. Starts talking about large soft leaves at the WW. Gross bro. 4 burpees.

#18 – Par 5. The home stretch. We’re playing great EVEN through 17!!! But just like my regular game, just when I get things rolling, I start making bad decisions and throw my score right town the drain. We’re about 65 burpees into this and I really don’t want to do them later, so we stop like every 100 yards and knock out some more. EL? HOMBRE hissed at me at one point. 

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

We finish at exactly 1:00 and nearly 6 miles. We also finished up those extra 31 burpees to get to 101. Big bro-hug, and we went our separate ways.

I think we just planted a new AO. One that will need to stay on the hush-hush down-low, and may only work during the dark winter months. We shall see. One thing is for sure, The Mole, and Law Dog need to experience this!
