AO: The Farm (NE Wake)
Workout Date: 05/22/21
The Farm is quite a drive for YHC (Boiler Room is a few minutes longer) so I had not posted before Qing. When I pulled the site up on Google Maps, there didn’t seem to be much there so I texted Spit Valve for more info. It seems there a quite a few trails underneath the tree canopy leading out to multiple options. We met up a few minutes before the workout for a quick mosey tour.

Main Event
1) Mosey to the big picnic shelter for 10-15-10 pyramid of Left-Right step ups, Irkins, Dips, Elevated Crunches, and Derkins. I told the PAX about the hilarious name Carpex gave Elevated Crunches at Danger Zone the day before, but I guess they had to be there. (Little Gyno Crunches) Anyways…
2) Mosey to rock pile at the soccer field and pair up for partner run/rock work. One partner runs out and back across the width of the field while the other does AMRAP rock exercise. Flapjack. Then wait for the six. Repeato with a new exercise. Exercises included Curls, Triceps Extensions, Overhead Presses, Bent Over Rows, Overhead Shoulder Taps, Rock Taps, Flutter Kicks, Rock LBCs, Skull Crushers, Chest Presses, American Hammers (rock optional), Squats, Squat Thrusters, Elevated Homer to Marge, maybe some others. It seemed to be working well for everyone so I scrapped the plans to go to the big hill and instead stayed and added more exercises. That’s why the exercise list is so long.
3) Mosey back to start. We had a couple of PAX who needed to walk back, so to keep everyone roughly together, we stopped for BLIMPS. We split it in two though, just BLIM and then we finished PS at a second stop. Start Mary while waiting for the walkers to join us.

Freddy Mercury x20 IC
Dolly x20 IC
Homer to Marge x20 IC

Naked Moleskin:
T-claps to Spit Valve for the scouting help!
The rock/run combination seemed to work out really well.
I learned from my Q at Danger Zone to tell everyone up front to stop and wait for the six on those partner run exercises. A little less chaos this time.
Great coffeteria fellowship afterwards, not so speedy service.
This was my forty-eighth #F3Q21 #2021Challenge Q, and my 50th Q overall for the year. It was also my 111th post for the 2021 Challenge, so halfway there! Next Q is Monday at Winterfell in Carpex.
