Tuck-a-Ho

When: 6/23/2018 0700

Q: Subprime

The Pax: Prenup, 90210, Bucco, Hightower, Roddick, Earlybird, Snuff (FNG), Turtle (missing PAX here-sorry fellas).

2 PAX swept up by Prenup at Patriot Field joined 6 others plus an FNG to make 10 gathered at Tuckahoe Elementary School for the first Saturday F3 workout since the Arlington launch. YHC had Q, so after a quick round of introductions we were off to the turf to warm up in the drizzle.

Warmup: included SSH, slow cherry pickers, arm circles, quad stretches, inchworm to plank, merkins and return to standing. WU concluded with a fellowship jog through the Tuckahoe trails along three coupons – 2 sledges and one 35lb ruck courtesy of Hightower (who rucked 5 miles to the AO bright and early). Jog was single file and coupons passed from man to man (front-to-back), last man ran with one of the coupons to front of the line. The wet conditions almost resulted in some major slips (including YHC) – in the end all PAX remained solid and upright.

The Thang 1.: Major Payne Baseball. One sprinter at a time called out an exercise and ran the bases while other PAX remained in place doing exercises that included: Merkins, 8-count Body Builders, People’s Chair, Jump Squats and Dry Docks. After all PAX had a turn at bat – we made our way across the vast field of wet grass and mud. First half was traveling burpees, 2nd half was bear crawl.

The Thang 2.: Running the Hill. PAX counted off (1-3) and partnered up. Group 1 (timer station) ran the hill 2x. When summiting the 2nd time, members of Group 1 held balls-to-the-wall for a 10 second count. During this time, Group 2 was at the picnic table doing erkins/derkins. Also at the same time, Group 3 was knocking out as many pull-ups as possible. Each group did the complete circuit twice.
Mary: All PAX called out a Mary exercise – 10 in all. Group favorite was the “rope climber”

Welcomed FNG Trent who was bestowed with the F3 name Snuff.

COT: There are a lot of bad things happening and bad people out there – grateful for the restorative power of F3 reminding us of the good things and INCREDIBLE guys out there (or at least in F3).

Props to 90210 for taking the shovel flag for a spell.
