Circle of Blockees

Everyone holding a high plank while each PAX takes turns completing 5 blockees with one of the F3 Block Brothers (a blockee is an irkin on the block followed by an overhead press with the block)

Bears and Blocks (coupons)

25 irkins then get on all fours for a bear crawl, place your coupon on the ground between your knees or feet. Reach between your legs and pull the coupon across the ground past your head. Now, bear crawl forward until the coupon is between your feet again, and keep repeating until you reach the other side of the parking lot, complete 25 derkins and repeat back to the other side.

7 of Diamonds

Round 1-7 burpees at each station, overhead walking lunge (with coupon) between each

Round 2-14 leg lifts with coupon overhead at each station, overhead walk (with coupon) between each

Round 3-21 merkins at each station, Q had to repeat the number several times for Shoota, Burnt Ends confirms, it's 21 at each station, which equals 84, overhead walking lunge

Merkin Bear Crawl

Begin in the street and work to the top of the hill. Begin with 1 merkin, BC to the next parking line, 2 merkins. Add one merkin at each line until you reach 10 at the top of the hill for a total of 55 merkins. Shoota struggles to keep the MC alive while we bear crawl.

Mosey back for COT and shovel flag presentation to Import as he is names the official Southern Grit Site Q.

Moleskin-

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
