VSF planted at a not quite thawed out Shelley Lake for PAX of 11. YHC had a plan in mind but wasn’t sure about the ground conditions. 5 steps out of the car is all it took to slip, OK plan B…whatever that is.
The Thang:
SSH x 15, Mountain Climbers x 15, Good Mornings x 15, Merkins x 15
Run towards the dock and through woods to upper parking lot (path was covered but mostly crunchy)
Filthy McDeuce: Partner 1 runs the length of the lot, Partner 2 AMRAP exercises called, Tag & Rotate (Jump Squats, Spiderman Merkins, Hand Release Burpees, Knee Ups, Carolina Dry Docks) We stayed here for 20-25 minutes
Run down Millbrook to end of dam, keep partners
First group runs to 1st bench..15 dips, runs to next….15 derkins, runs back. PAX performs AMRAP merkins, 2nd group leaves when 1st group starts the dips. PAX flowed through this rotation for 10-12 minutes. Move to lower lot
Mary: Long Slow Flutter x 15, Dolly x 15

Naked Moleskin:
-Conditions were worse than expected, Gideon made the right call on Monday. No one busted, that’s a good thing. When we reached the upper lot we found the gathering spot for Raleigh’s finest as 3 patrol cars were lined up. Each left quietly one by one.
-Shelley Lake in the early morning hours is quite a place to be, especially in a couple of months when were out there during dawn. Moon on the water with the tree line silhouette is actually quite pretty and when we’re on the hill the shadows of guys reaching the top is encouragine. The experience isn’t quite the same during the day, YHC was reminded when he noticed the incredible amount of goose product all over the dam…..it was unreal.
-The next Haven House is Feb 9th @ 5:15. Plan ahead to participate, I’m planning to be there next month.
-The Arena is every Friday now, make a plan to post once over the next 8 weeks.
-Prayers for the PAX, prayers for the M’s as they support us all participating in F3, prayers for the military, prayers for all those spoken and unspoken.
-The Mule is March 5th, The Bull is March 12th.
