ALL CAPS!! Hockey Practice

When : 6/9/2018

QIC: Maj. Payne

The PAX: Prenup, Dr. Dandelion, Leprechaun, FNG Jag, Checkpoint (F3 Charlotte Metro PAX), FNG Vulture, Bucco (F3 Charlotte Metro transplant), 90120 (F3 Raleigh and Chicago transplant), FNG Jerry Maguire, Hook’em, FNG Dodgeball, Subprime, FNG Roddick, FNG Foreman

The Washington Capitals are Stanley Cup Champions for the first time in the club’s 44-year history, winning Game 5 in Vegas against the Golden Knights Thursday, 3-2. The PAX of F3ArlingtonVA chose to honor that amazing feat by toughening themselves with some hockey maneuvers this muggy June morning in the gloom!

Warmup:

1 lap around track: 100m mosey, 100m high knees, 100m buttkickers, 100m hockey skaters
20 x SSH
10 x IW
10 x Around the Worlds
20 x BWS
20 x Merkins

The Thang:

Pair up
– 100m 80% sprint
– 100m Shoulder Check Run (pax1 lean into pax2 shoulder and vice versa, run 50m attempting to stay in straight line, switch shoulders at 50 yard line, continue to far endzone)
– 100m Shot Blocking Practice (pax1: lunge walks, pax2: 5 x burpees and then run to pax 1, swap, repeat)
– 100m 100% Breakaway sprint

15 min Bear-on-Bear Hockey…with a soccer ball. Shirts vs. Skins. Everyone did their best Ovechkin, Oshie and Backstrom impressions and both Dr. Dandelion and Subprime performed just like Holtby, but ultimately, Shirts outscored the Skins after a fierce battle and just a few turf burns.

Mosey to the gauntlet and lunge walk to 1st light post, then traveling burpee to next light post, then lunge walk to next post, then traveling burpee to finish. A nice burst of pain!

Move to baseball diamond for some F3 Kickball. All shirts safely back on everyone’s back. No permanent damage done. Not a hockey themed event, but all good. Rules: Fielding team must complete 3 burpees before playing on the ball. Kicking team must do 10x exercise called by pitcher. FNG Dodgeball earned his F3 name as an expert field day guy by suggesting rule that fielders start 3 x burpees when ball hits ground, allowing them to potentially catch fly balls. If kicker flies out, then kicking team completes 3 x burpees. Big fun!

Mosey back to track for quick Mary – 50 x LBC

COT:

• Churham PAX Adolphus, Coco and Rambler coming for final launch next Sat, June 16!
• Thanks to all for posting today. We’ve got something good going here in ArlingtonVa. When YHC departed F3 Churham, the dream of creating something similar in ArlingtonVa began. It is starting to take form, and none of it would be possible without the support of the ArlingtonVa PAX, F3 PAX across the Commonwealth and elsewhere, the F3Nation, and most importantly our Father in Heaven. Go out and continue to make yourselves better in everything you do!!
