March 18th is usually known as the day to nurse a St. Patty’s day hangover, but 14 PAX in the concrete confines of Crabtree Valley Mall had other ideas.  An FNG was identified at the onset — disclaimer was made clear, and the group set off to work out the previous night’s Shepherd’s Pie and frothy brew.

“Rock burpee” (hands on rock for lower half, press for upper half) X10  >  sprint

Brisk mosey over to The Ramp (from the road up towards Belk)… bear crawl halfway, crab walk the rest of the way

Weave through Fleming’s parking deck to pain stations:

Back pedal (watch for speedbumps!) down left side > skiabs X12

Karaoke down next row > Sumo squat jumps X10

Lunge walk then sprint next row > Hand release merkins X12

Broad jump then sprint final row > Burpees X10

Brisk mosey back into the depths of parking deck to the main central stairwell (creek side)

Naked Moleskin

Strong work by all this morning, especially powering through the modified Zipper.  We welcomed FNG Twinkie, Duncan Gibson, who several of us know and were glad to see out in the gloom for the first time.  As High Life mentioned in COT, we all have a lot to be thankful for in our lives, and we should always remember that.  The presence of F3 — the opportunity to strengthen ourselves mentally/physically/spiritually, the fellowship it cultivates, the leaders it builds — is among those things I know we are all thankful for.  It is a blast, and a blessing, to be a part of it all, and it is always a privilege to lead.
