Warm-O-Rama (WOR)
 
We started off sharp, though one PAX decided punctuality wasn’t his strong suit and rolled in a minute late. Being the benevolent QIC I am, we circled back to collect him. You’re welcome, Boondock.
 
The WOR included:
   •       Side-Straddle Hops (SSH) IC
   •       Hillbilly Walkers IC
   •       Copperhead Squats IC
   •       Sun Gods (both directions) OYO
   •       Michael Phelps (OYO to loosen up those shoulders).
 
Everyone was warm, except maybe the FNG who was too busy figuring out how to wear his gloves the wrong way—gloves backwards? Seriously, Bill Nye? At least we named you appropriately.
 
The Thang: Part 1 – 11s on the Ground
 
Here’s where the real work began:
   •       Start with Hand-Release Merkens on one end, bear crawl to the opposite end, knock out Big Boy Sit-Ups, and lunge walk back.
   •       Repeated this delightful misery until everyone questioned their life choices.
 
Intermission – Copper’s Calf Killers
 
No rest for the weary! We threw in six rounds of 20 Calf Raises:
   •       Full calf raises
   •       Right foot only
   •       Left foot only
•       Bottom half
•       Top half
•       Full calf raises

 
By the end, some PAX were waddling like ducks, but it was all for the betterment of their ankles and calves.
 
The Thang: Part 2 – 11s on the Hill
 
Because you hadn’t suffered enough:
   •       Start at the fire hydrant with Squats, then run up the hill to the street for Monkey Humpers, run back down, and repeat until all joy was gone.
 
YHC made the executive decision to cut this short—not because you deserved it, but because jackets shed by the PAX earlier needed rescuing. Didn’t want anyone whining about frostbite later.
 
Jacket Rescue & Mary
 
We ran to grab the jackets (looking at you, softies) and used the opportunity to crank out a couple of rounds of Mary.
 
After the quick recovery, we ran back to the shovel flag just in time to close it out.
 
COT
 
We ended with the Circle of Trust (COT), because no F3 workout is complete without grounding ourselves in the three Fs: Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith. PAX shared prayers and intentions, solidifying why we come out here in the first place.
 
Moleskin:
   •       FNG Bill Nye is officially dubbed. Wear your gloves the right way next time, Einstein.
   •       Boondock, try showing up on time—it’s not rocket science.
   •       All in all, a solid showing of hard work and teamwork. Keep pushing, men!
 
Aye!
YHC
