Every so often, YHC enjoys taking a trip down memory lane to the site of his VQ a long 3 years ago. The Jungle has long been a staple of F3 Raleigh, and consistently well attended. However YHC knew something was up this AM, as he pulled into the parking lot 5 minutes early to a crowd of at least 30 PAX. Cars continued to pour into our launching pad and the circle grew. As you might expect, YHC would have to call a few audibles. With 1 FNG present, a disclaimer was given and away we went.
Mosey to the parking lot by the NH entrance. Side straddle hop x20, Good mornings x10, Imperial Walkers x20.
Frogger over to the CapTrust Tower. Partner up for a little partner chase. Running up the ramps to the top, when your partner catches you it’s Burpees x3.
Gather at the base of the top ramp. Partner 1: Bear Crawl to the top, 10 merkins, backwards bear crawl down. Partner 2: AMRAP WWIIs. Flapjack.
Next set: Bear Crawl up, 10 wide-grip merkins, backwards bear crawl down. Partner AMRAP LBCs, flapjack.
Final set: Bear Crawl up, 10 burpees (Countrywide’s request), backwards bear crawl down. Partner AMRAP Freddie Mercury’s, flapjack.
Partner chase back down, with 5 star jumps every time your partner tags you.
Long mosey back to our launch point with a few stops along the way. Burpees while we wait for the crowd to catch up.
Let’s finish out with some sprints. Partner 1 sprint across the parking lot and back, Partner 2 AMRAP Merkins, flapjack. Repeato with AMRAP Burpees.
Mary: LBCs x50, Heels to heaven x20.
The end.
Moleskin:
-49 PAX is a big number. Was it the weather? Who knows. It is a challenge to lead 49 people through a workout, and certainly limits what can be accomplished. As much as we all love Urban Jungle, venture to a new site every once in awhile.
-Backwards bear crawls were a real crowd-pleaser. When YHC made that call, mumble chatter abounded. Especially from your boy Yoda.
-On our mosey back it seemed that one or two PAX forgot who the Q was and decided to Frogger back across before the rest of us. We move as a group, not on our own. Especially with a big group, we wait for everyone to catch up too.
-Big time T-Claps to the #RESPECT crowd this morning. We had at least 8-10 represented this morning. Same with the Injured Reserve crowd. Strong work men, you crushed it.
-Our FNG was brought out by Baby Farley. In fact he is an intern over in Baby Farley’s law practice. Popeye quickly jumped on it and suggested “Legally Blonde”. One or two calls for “Lewinsky” but YHC squashed that (sorry). After the Pistol Poot controversy, YHC wanted to get this over with before we headed down some weird rabbit holes.
-Speaking of: Questions were raised about Pistol Poot’s name again. There were calls for rename, and not to rename. That’s above YHC’s pay grade. He remains Pistol Poot until he submits his official request to Nantan, and goes before a tribunal (kidding).
Announcements:
-Go to a new workout sometime.
-Iron Eagle launches Saturday at 7am, Glen Eden Pilot Park. Friar Tuck on the Q. “If you don’t know what kind of physical shape you’re in, you will Saturday”. Thanks Franzia. (Sorry, no physicals will be given out).
-If you left tools at the Neighbor to Neighbor work day, see Yoda.
Prayers: Rain Man and his family, Costco’s friend who passed away, Franzia’s friend in Charlotte who passed away.
YHC prayed it out.
