YHC was greeted to a record crowd of 13 pax for Disabled List this morning. A healthy mix of folks newer to F3, several old Recovery Road standbys and a hand full of the F3 faithful in attendance so the pressure was on Dice to deliver a good workout to a broad array of preparedness.
Cornholio returned from his week long F3 Hiatus as M. Cornholio is back on regular work schedule hours and he no longer has solo parent dad duties in the early AM. Tin-Cup was at least five minutes early. Dice brought his umbrella to lead into the parking deck – which proved wholly unnecessary. Epoxy paid homage to Dice by wearing an identically fluorescent orange pullover, aye welcome to flashy fashion with a purpose…. hopefully it will keep him from being hit while jogging in the gloom!
North Hills Mall – the temp hovered in the mid forties, the AstroTurf was moist, a thick dampness hung in the air….but no bacon or BBQ wafted in this morning. (Again, a disappointment to Dice). The drizzle rain held off until the last 10 minutes of the post. After the warmup Dice had to shed his zip up sweatshirt out of concern of overheating…the shirtsleeves weren’t too chilly until post workout.
F3 Disclaimer Give along with the Recovery Road Disclaimer: And somehow Dice missed at the outset that we had an FNG on hand – Welcome, Sajak. (I don’t think we have someone with that name already…but we’ll see who brings the “hammer down”.)

AstroTurf: Exercises to fail
It is what it sounds like – Pax performs exercise on Q Cadence until they fail out – either form drops out or off cadence or just flat fail. Then stand and perform a named exercise while remaining pax continues to fail.
Single Count Merkins: on a rapid Q Count
First Place: Mayhem – 50+ – this guy is a machine. Fifty actually full form pushups after all of the above. I hope I can do half of what he does in a post when I’m his age….he already does twice what I do now at 13 years my senior. Oh yeah, Tiger Beat came in second with 42 or 43
Cornholio Man Maker – the 8 count burpee on steroids
First Place: Tie – Mayhem and Dingo at 18 with a gentleman’s agreement that that was enough.
