A little light today at #FieldOfDreams (@F3_FOD) this morning.  Maybe there were power outages we weren’t aware of but some of the usuals were nowhere to be seen like Beaker, Airbag, Kat, PBX, Billy, Banjo–oh wait, there’s Banjo pulling in well after YHC had already announced the 0545 time and even prepped our newest FNG, GAAP, with the disclaimer.  But Banjo’s fast, he’ll catch us!  To the top of the park for warm up!

Warm Up

  • Slooow Good Mornings X 12 IC
  • Keeping with tradition the temperature is 36 so let’s drop and do 26 merkins OYO and add 10 penalty Burpees.
  • Frankensteins X 10 IC
  • Willy Mays Hayes X 10 IC

The Thang

YHC always likes to apply a theme to the workout when possible and today was possible..barely… just enough PAX, which in fact probably made the first game even tougher.

Divide in to two teams for three fun kid games, #F3Style

1.  Cross the Ocean

Partner carry your teammates from one end of the park over to the other.  (~ .67 miles).  Last team to arrive gets 10 penalty burpees while the other team planks and waits.  Or in some cases one teammate from the losing team plants until YHC calls him out.  You know who you are, Hotspot (not Hotspot, seriously, just read the NMS).

2.  Red Light / Green Light

Team 1 takes off sprinting while Team 2 does 5 merkins and as soon as all teammates finish they yell RED LIGHT causing the other team to drop for 5 while the other team sprints.  This went on for about 2/3 the way there before it got to be too much and we switched to 3 star jumps instead of merkins.  The sprints slowed to mere jogs as well.

Quick set of LBCs to catch our breath x 20 IC

3.  Mother (Q) May I

Travel to the other end of the park by way of (Q called out as we traveled)

  • Side shuffle (both sides)
  • Sprint
  • Broad Jump Burpees (about 10 of em)
  • Duck Walk
  • Bear Crawl
  • Backwards Run
  • Bunny Hop
  • Skip
  • Quick Feet
  • Karaoeke (too lazy to spell check)
  • Out of time to go all the way so turn back and give me a jog until Q yells for an AYG Billy Run

Mary

  • Freddys x 10 IC
  • WWIIs x 10 IC

COT

  • Welcome Brian, now known as GAAP, to the brotherhood!  (He’s an account-zzzzz..sorry fell asleep just saying it.)
  • Announcements were just about t-shirts for the MULE I’m pretty sure
  • No prayer requests, YHC took us out

NMS

  • Didn’t you hear?  The top AO in all of North Carolina just got a Twitter handle!  www.twitter.com/F3_FOD
  • #Team_FOD is the official hashtag to use.
  • Intros to our FNG prior to our 0545 start went something like this, “Hi, I’m Hotspot.”  The rest of us quickly corrected EARHART that he is in fact, NOT HOTSPOT hahaha!
  • I called called a d*ck pretty early into the workout.  Pretty happy about that.
  • We traveled a good bit of distance:  http://labs.strava.com/flyby/viewer/#489504053?c=dnrgssee&z=H&t=1MkSCF&a=NT0tHTDXKx0
  • Callahan is way heavier than one would think.  The guy is dense.
  • What’s heavier?  500lbs of Callahans or 500lbs of boilermakers.
  • Are you sure you didn’t take the Krispy Kreme Challenge at home??
  • Just kidding bro.  I hope at this point I shouldn’t have to even say that I’m kidding.  You should just know that.  I’ll go ahead and cross it out…
  • Lots of early trash talk about losing to my wife in the K2C.  Yes, it happened, sort of.  The results say it happened.  Real life says Term Paper is my wife.  Wait…I mean…I just need to stop.

Until next time fellas.  #Team_FOD
