This was the earliest the YHC has ever arrived to Field of Dreams. Was he turning over a new leaf? No. He was up for VQ and figured more than 2 minutes early was appropriate. Plus one of his F3 Charlotte brethren, Don Ho, made the trek to witness the VQ! And to the surprise of YHC Don Ho brought along our friend, world-class famed crossfitter from north Raleigh, an FNG, Other Brother!
Knowing this morning was such a special occasion YHC came dressed to impress with his very own tuxedo t-shirt. Gotta look good on your big day. And with a stumbling attempt at an intro they were on their way…
Warmup
Jog to the baseball and circle up. All eyes were on YHC. The folded up cheat sheet was burning a hole in his pocket!! [Don’t look at the sheet, don’t look at the sheet!]…
- SSH x 10
- Good Morning x 10
- Sumo Squats x 20
- Mountain Climbers x 20
- Invisible Jump Rope x 20
The Thang
To the picnic tables for some fun.
- 10 Merkins / hold / repeato
- 10 Dips / hold / repeato
- 10 Erkins / hold / repeato
- 20 Jump Ups OYO

- 10 Derkins / hold /repeato
- 5 chin ups / 10 knee raises / repeato
YHC didn’t check the forecast but based on the saturation of shirts already it must have been about 99% humidity out… Or was YHC this good as a first timer?!? No time to think, time to run. Off to the top parking lot for some cardio.
- 1 lap around the lot
- 1 lap / 7 left leg then 7 right leg step ups
- 1 lap / 14 jumping knee tucks
- 1 lap / 14 jumping knee tucks
- 1 lap / 21 Prisoner Squats
- 1 lap / 7 left leg then 7 right leg step ups
- 1 lap final sprint, Large Mouth by a nose to rep it for F3 Raleigh!
^ catch the rookie mistake there? The pyramid is a little wonky. It was the humidity… Let’s mosey down and grab a rock, medium to heavy. Apparently MaBell heard “boulder”. He may not like his decision soon.
- 1s and 2s on the basketball court in opposite corners.
- One at a time run a zig zag sprint with your rock (or boulder) and get in the other line.
- 1s in line do rock biceps
- 2s in line do rock triceps
- Cycle through both lines. Oops, out of time.
- One final sprint and 20 rock shoulder presses.
- WWII situps
- Homer to Marge
- LBCs (sometimes referred to as LBJs by certain VQs)
Name-O-Rama and COT
- FNG is welcomed in with a fresh new name, Other Brother. Come on back sometime OB! You know…when the crossfit fad is over.
- Prayers for Don Ho’s FIL!
- Prayers for Callahan and his wife!
Final Note
Something else is laying on my heart I’d love to share real quick. About a month ago I was challenged to “get uncomfortable”. That in order to grow in my walk with Christ I was going to have to push myself into uncomfortable situations that can help me grow spiritually. We workout and push ourselves to that uncomfortable level every week because we know it’s at that point that we are gaining the most. Being Q really pushed me pretty deep into that uncomfortable zone but I’m glad I did it and will be back for more. (Probably with a shorter BB). I encourage anyone reading this to look for ways to “get uncomfortable”. Lead a prayer, encourage someone, share your story, etc. Because it’s through those experiences that we are going to gain the most and grow in Christ!
Thank you to all that were out there this morning. It was an honor leading you. See you in the gloom!
