Playtime at The General

AO: The General

QIC: Maj Payne

The PAX: Horsepunch, Trolley, Traveler, Dr. D, Jenner, Sam Adams

Lucky 7 PAX posted at The General this week for an epic beatdown that resulted in great fun for all. The following is a mostly accurate account of what happened…

WU:

20 x SSH
4 x the following:
Mosey 100 yds around the track, abrupt stop, 10 x BWS, 5 x Merkins, 10 x front lunge (in cadence). For fun and variety, we switched to rear lunges after the second 100 yd mosey.

The Thang:

Line up on the goal line.

4 rounds of the following…

• Sprint down and back (200 yds)
• 20 x Jump Squats
• 15 x Merkins
• 10 x No Merkin Burpees

This was fairly horrible, so we conducted 2 x ten counts in between each round, which made it so much better.  Strangely, counting to ten was not as easy as it sounds.

Once all rounds were completed, mosey towards the parking garage, but stop at some railings for 3 x 10 Down Unders.

At the parking garage, the PAX discovered a cinder block cache, which served as the first of four stations for the next sub-Thang!

AMRAP for 8-ish minutes!

Station 1: 10 x ground to overheads with cinder block
Station 2: 20 x LBC
Station 3: 20 x BWS
Station 4: 20 x Mountain Climbers, single count

Most made it around about 3x.  There were a few (Horsepunch!) that made it around slightly more.  All-in-all, it provided all PAX their daily carbon monoxide intake (since the garage is situated over top of I-66).  YHC was happy this day to pull in as the caboose alongside Trolley, who was crushing it.

Mosey back to start, where The General’s turf field, a peaceful location at 0530 in the gloom, had become a buzzfest of activity. There must’ve been several hundred paying customers of various workout groups galloping about.

Mary: Every other PAX take a turn for some version of abdominal torture.

COT: It’s important in life to take time to play.  As we forge our path forward through our days, we need to take time to have a bit of fun, and there’s no better way to do that then with a group of like minded brothers that we have within F3. As the saying goes, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Don’t be dull, be great, in whatever you do.  Go out in the world today and make those around you better. Be a better dad, son, brother, father, colleague, boss…whatever your role, do the best you possibly can!  Aye!
