On a frosty morning with the snow covered ground YHC decided to call an audible and moved from the friendly confines of Eastgate Park to the CapTrust Building.  Thanks to twitter for letting everyone know our new location.  Only one problem — I wasn’t actually supposed to Q.  Prenup was, but after sorting out our marital difficulties he allowed me to go today and is taking the day after the Panthers win Super Bowl 50.  A group of six decided to brave the weather and to see if YHC could carry out the duties of the Q.

The warmup:

Up the ramp before

15 SSH, Good mornings, mountain climbers, and imperial walkers.

The Thang:

We started the workout with a set of 11s up and down the ramp from the ground level to the first parking deck.  Villa and Hunh? led the way with burpees at the top and prisoner squats at the bottom.  My goal with this and every workout was to make sure I didn’t finish last, but today in this set it wasn’t to be.

Finished the 11s and ran up one side of the deck while we ran backwards up the other side to level 5.  I’m a big fan of plagiarism and stealing ideas in F3 seems to be the easiest way to plan a workout.  Chippendale did a set of sprints recently so I decided to flatter him even though he didn’t show up.  We did a set of sprints with merkins and homer to marge — one sprint down, one merkin, one homer to marge, two…well you get the idea.  Strong work by everyone on this leg as well

Next was a little session of dips, left right stepups, urkins.  Not sure how many of each exercise was done, but needless to say they were.  Bear crawl down half the ramp, lunge walk the other half back to P2 for a little Merry.

Merry:

YHC didn’t have a watch this morning, and we circled up a little earlier than might have been warranted.  Did a quick set of 20 Rosalita’s, box cutters, American Hammer before (wrongly) assuming it was closing time. I didn’t hear any complaints about me shortchanging the PAX by five minutes perhaps, but….

COT:

Quiet group this morning. No prayer requests or announcements other than Swirly confessing it was his last day…of being 43.  Happy early birthday. Western Stranger took us out with a strong closing prayer.

It is always a pleasure to lead.  I still don’t think I’ve found my stride being in charge, but nine months into this experience that is F3 I feel very blessed to have the health and the opportunity to come out.
