AO: The Jimmy
17 Pax: Beans, Braddock, Delorean, Gorgeous, Hoser, Jorts, Licker, Lump, Maytag, Noble Virus, Oregon Trail (OT), Pound Puppy, Red Tees, Spandex, The HackFace, Whoopi, and Dukey (QiC)
I arrived a bit early to feel out the course. PAX were spread out all over The Jimmy getting in some extra work. OT, Lump, and Hoser were Rucking off; while Delorean and Red Tees threw around heavy weights. Jorts, The HackFace, and Maytag broke in their running shoes in preparation for the Franklin Classic. We haven't even started yet, and these guys are killing it. Nice work fellas!
The remaining PAX arrived to a beautiful humid Tennessee morning in Franklin in time for some stretching...we exchange pleasantries, socially responsible fist bumps, etc...time to circle up for some warm-o-rama...
Warm-o-rama: 30x Side Straddle Hops IC, 10x Small and Big Arm Circles, 10x Back Backs, 3x Good Mornings
The Thang: We head west on a field trip to a land once claimed by the our friendly neighbor Wilson, just a trot to get those legs warm. With the six intact, we partner up.
Exercise #1: Player 1 stays at the bottom of the hill with Mountain Climbers until their partner returns; Player 2 Politicians up and over to hill #2, once reached sprint back home. Switch!
Exercise #2: Player 1 does Overhead Side Straddle Hops until their partner returns; Player 2 returns to hill #2, MOT Lunges, once reached sprint back home. Switch!
Exercise #3: Player 1 Slow Ass Merkins until their partner returns; Player 2 Bear Crawl to hill #2, once reached sprint back home. Switch!
Let's mosey...we make our way to the baseball grand stands. 3 x 15: Bulgarian Split Squats / Dips / Guided One Arm Merkins
I suppose it wouldn't be a Dukey Q without some Alligator Merkins, let take those to the parking lot (modify as necessary).
Back to the flag for Mary. On your six for 4x 6" Abs held for 20-30 sec, 10x V-Ups, 50x LBCs, 30x Alabama Prom Dates, 10x3 directions Spicolies, Low Plank to the clock... We Done!
Count-o-rama, Name-o-rama, Circle-of-man....pleasantries, fist bumps...exit strategy!
Moleskin: F3 is special. Whether you're a guy that shows up any time a flag is flown, or one who roles up once a week, there's always a take away. Your presence, or kind words, may be just the encouragement the guy standing next to you needs that day. "Leave No Man Behind, But Leave No Man Where You Found Him". I'm proud to have spent the day in the Gloom with each of you.
Cheers,
Dukey
