Full disclosure, last time i was at this site, I was 19 yrs old and a counselor at Camp Morehead, tasked with overseeing a bunch of 13 yr olds at the Country Club pool, but I was really more focused on my 16 yr old girlfriend at the time. So yeah, this time was different, and yes, I was robbing the cradle, and it was totally worth it, but I digress. Today, I put my fate in the hands of Smoke Shifter, as he was my ride, which is always a risky venture, but he got me there with time to spare. However back to fact that I have never posted here, let alone Q’d the sight, my nerves were little frayed, especially given the fact that the sun was a total no-show. That can tend to happen with this whole F3 thing. Alas… luckily we had a fired up group of 28, who were ready to roll at start time, so off we went – minus a few pre runners who may or may not have been lost. Oh well, for the record, I did give a disclaimer, they just weren’t around to hear it.
Warm up – we ran a couple holes (I think – like I said it was dark and I was lost) then circled up for a warmup of:
SSH x 25
Good Mornings x 15
Arm circles x 16
Mountain Climbers x 15
Merkins x 10The THANG
Getting the warmup out of the way, we kept our cruise the Morehead’s finest links for a couple of more holes and then pulled up for spontaneous round of:
burpees x 10
Moving merkins x 10
Ski abs x 20Ok, got through that, lets keep cruising. Covered two more holes, and then another spontaneous round of:
Burpees x 10
Diamond merkins x 10
Boat/canoe x 20Man! We just started this I’m already huffing! I really hope I don’t spill merlot. That would be somewhat embarrassing, but I guess could be a good story. Still, I really hope that doesn’t happen. Alright, back to the backblast. Two more holes to cover and then a circle up for Pigmy Squares. What!?! Never heard of Pygmy Squares?? Well, I may or may not have made up that name on the spot, but can we all agree that it sounds pretty funny. Alight so what are they? Just a big ole rectangle pattern – on the first short side- Bear Crawls, run on the long sides, and lunge walks on the other short side, for 3 rounds.
Quick side note – if you have never posted on a golf course site, Goodness Gracious, do it now. The ground is like butter. During Bear Crawls, my hands felt as if they were getting massaged in Awesomeness… I am a fan..
Alright up next were partner ups for wheel barrows with gorilla jumps x 10 at the switch off point. Then runs with partner plank merkins at the switch off points, and some half burpees x 15 and squat jumps x 15 in between. For last measure we put in a nice sprint to the sand trap and back ( I probably should have specified which hole we were on – I have no idea, but I am sure the club will be getting complaints from the house that was directly beside it. First rule of Qing – be aware of your surroundings. Yeah, I failed that one. Next time..) ok, back to the parking lot with some break up stops for box cutters and LBCs.

Welcome FNG Slide Rule, vacationing in MHC from ATL.
Convergence at Hero Patriot on Sat. @ 0600Prayer Request:
Prayers to the family where the father lost his life this Monday trying to save his three daughters caught in a riptide at Shack.Swaggert took us out, and his words were truly inspiring.
On a side note, Gilligan and I started doing some F3 workouts down here last June, and did a handful throughout the summer but just on Saturdays. After Labor day, I didn’t come back down to MHC until this Easter and was truly blown away with what Gilligan and a bunch of inspired individuals have done with bringing F3 to MHC. It really is amazing to see, it’s a testament to this whole concept of F3, and it makes me really be glad to part of this community.
