With the official F3TheCapital 2ndF event one evening prior, it was time to get down to the business of making our bodies stronger again, even if a beatdown might’ve been slightly lower on the priority list this A.M. The PAX had pulled themselves from the fartsack, and there was no time to dilly dally. Fortunately, YHC knew a thing or two about dealing with hangovers. Unfortunately for the PAX (or maybe fortunately), the cure involved something markedly different from other more traditional cures.
WU: Follow me! Mosey to the basketball court for some LBACs front and rear, then into the thang!!
The Thang: The hangover cure: Bear crawl around the high school! YHC decided to break things up with several rest periods though.
1st stop: The first rest period consisted of 15 x Underdogs (Aussie Pushups…whatever. I think they may officially be Underdogs, which has a good ring to it, so YHC is going with it). Pick up the bear crawl again to rest at school corner #1.
2nd stop: Rest period #2 was 50 x SSH. Easy-peasy. Bear crawl to Conex. En Route, a couple pax decided it might really be a good idea to have gloves for this particular beatdown. YHC has a couple extra pairs, so as a group, the PAX moseyed to YHC’s vehicle where we issued the gloves, then all moseyed back to continue the bear crawl journey.
3rd stop: 5 x jump up pull-ups along the side of the Conex. Good fun. Time to bear crawl again, this time to corner of school #2.
4th stop: 25 x restful Merkins (same as regular Merkins, but restful — it’s a mind control thing)! Onward with the bear crawl to the racks!
5th stop: The bike racks, for Erkins. 25 of them! Sooo easy! Bearcrawl to the Arena stairs for 4 x laps up and down the stairs. 1. every stair, 2. then skip a stair, 3. every stair 4. then skip a stair! Dual rest period stop bc we then circled up and knocked out 25 x BWS. Enough rest! Bear crawl up and out to the perimeter railing for some more Underdogs (15 reps). We’ll call this corner of school #3. Continue the bear crawl…
6th stop: Just for fun, the PAX stopped for 15 x WWIIs en route to corner of school #4. Onward to the corner via…the bear crawl!
7th stop: Rest period #7 occurred at school corner #4, which of course, was close to the end, so rest was welcomed heartily. The PAX celebrated the rest period with 15 x jump squats. No time for further jubilation — more bear crawling!
8th stop: Tennis Court pen #1 for some restful lunge walking. As a group, lunge walk across two courts. Gather up and lunge walk back. Exit the pen and bear crawl to tennis court pen #2.
9th stop: Tennis court pen #2 for traveling burpees! The PAX were getting close to the end, and truly, they could not believe how easy the perimeter bear crawl transit was with all the (active) rest stops. this one proved no different with traveling burpees performed across two courts. YHC might have heard some mumble chatter, but it’s debatable. It was probably quiet cheers instead.
10th and final rest stop at the SP, where the PAX commenced with some Mary.
Mary: Around the horn Mary. Flutter kicks, Ring of Fire, American Twists, LBCs and more!
Announcements: To assist our FiA sisters in Alexandria, donate Shoes for Soles4Souls in memory of a FiA Lexington Pax who was struck and killed by a car last December while out running with fellow Pax. Also, join the F3 Patriot team for the May 11 Spartan at Nationals Stadium. Lastly, we are launching some new sites soon. We’ll be soft launching a new AO at W&L HS on Tuesday, April 9. Start spreading the word!!!
COT: Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, even if your hangover is telling you otherwise. It’s always an honor to lead PAX, and whether it was the bear crawl or the leadership experience, YHC feels stronger and ready to tackle the day because of the effort and fellowship provided by the PAX! Aye!
