AO: The Rat
Pax: Wipeout, BigBang, Sanctions, Waterboy (pre-party), Pope, Red Robin, Swingline, Bartman (QiC)
Culture week continues. Nearly missed my flight to the Rat, but managed to get there in time to see some HIM getting a rucking good time in. I mosey'd around the school a couple of times to get the lay of the land since this was my first trip to the Rat and then back to the launch point. Great AO...so many options. Some pleasantries exchanged...hugs and fist bumps given...time to circle up...
Warm-o-rama consisting of Good Mornings 5x OYO (because Good AMs in cadence is heresy....you hear me Nashville?), SSH 20x IC, Slow ass merks 10x IC, Mountain Climbers 10x IC, and because BigBang needed some extra back stretches since he dominated the NYC GORUCK 9/11 Heavy...5 more Good mornings OYO.
The THANG
Constant Motion!!! I didn't do this at Minor complex on monday and I think I left the pax confused by not. So why not...
Movement for 1 minute (sprint forward, politician, karaoke R/L) and 2 burpees on Q "down!"...
Movement for 2 minutes
Movement for 3 minutes
Indigenous People run to the backside of the school....apparently unchartered territory! Nice little (not really little!) courtyard with fresh cut grass and picnic tables...
20 Derks, 20 irks, 20 dips
Burpee Broad jump across the courtyard (~50 yards)
20 derks, 20 irks, 20 dips
Indigenous People run back to the front playground for some more fun...
Plank position wall walk with 2 irkins on Q 'down'
then...
30/30/30 swerkins, squats, irkins
20/20/20 swerkins, squats, irkins
10/10/10 swerkins, squats, irkins
Mosey back to launch point for some parking lot line work...
Bear Crawl out...5 CCDs....crawl bear back...
Bear Crawk out...4 CCDs...crawl bear back...
Down to 1 CCDs
Still some time left before Mary...knock out 10 Contra Burpees (Burpee 1 merk, Burpee w/2 merks, burpee w/3 merks...up to 10 merks)
Circle up for some Mary...flutter kicks 35x IC, Alabama prom dates 20x IC, (just as the first school administrator roled up in the parking lot...should have called Monkey Humpers next), 10x Dying Cockroaches, 50 LBCs OYO, and end on flutter kicks 35x IC again.
Count-o-rama, name-o-rama, BOM...we out.
MoleSkin:
First trip to the Rat and honored to be able to lead. With this being culture week, I tried to impart on the pax some of the history of F3 Franklin and about myself. F3 has been one of the few constants in my life. I am grateful for F3. It transformed me. I moved here to TN not knowing a soul and when I joined F3, it was like I had known these guys forever. This is special bond...a brotherhood. Sanctions shared an awesome story of his personal obstacles he overcame and how the pax were there every step of the way. That is what it is all about. Keep pushing each other. Keep holding each other accountable. Plenty of fun left for culture week....Shoota is leading the Stonehenge run, Tortoise coming out of retirement to lead Firepit, all of the Nant'ans leading at Armada, followed by a service project and a cornhole tournament. I am grateful for all of you...yes, even you Bloodclot.
Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another...
YHC,
Bartman
