AO: ignite
Q: Legacy
PAX: Fitz-Hume, bogey, Goldfish, Tony cha cha Vargas, Kodak, Kipchoge, Popeye, Gandalf FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
WARMUP: SSH, Imp Walkers, Hill Billy, Michael Phelps, Cherry Pickers, LBACs, Willy Mays Hays, Downward Dog, WGS
THE THANG: Run to the newly surfaced parking lot at Columbia Baptist’s new building. First Thing: Bear Crawl Dora, 100 Merkins, 100 Single Count BBs, 100 LBCs, then Regular Dora, 100 Shoulder Taps, 100 Mountain Climbers, 100 Flutters, all single count. Then, introducing the game of pressure, all PAX take 3 steps back from Home Depot buck and get a spongey ball that they must, in turn, throw into the bucket. For every miss, the “burpee ante” for the following round goes up. We are not going to get into individual statistics on this, but it was interesting, and I will note that the PAX dramatically increased their accuracy as the rounds went on [indeed, these Qs are always harder because the F3 format does not include a pre-game shoot-around like the NCAA and NBA provide]. After a few rounds, the Q introduced another layer, which is 2 consecutive misses, or 3 consecutive misses generate an immediate stand-alone penalty; 2 immediate burpees for the consecutive miss, and, for a miss after the 2nd consecutive miss, 10 burpees followed by a suicide in another area of the beautifully appointed new parking lot. Only one time did we have to do the 3-penalty–PAX really performed under the pressure. MARY: Flutter Kicks, LBC
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bonathon 5.26, Murph 5.27, Convergence 6.1 (with Major Payne scheduled to be one of the Qs)–also: See Fitz-Hume’s post on 5.11 run at the Pentagon
COT: You will find yourself under pressure. It is unavoidable. Some say pressure is a privilege. F3 actually will help you when it comes time for you to handle a pressure-situation. The best way to deal with pressure is simply to stand up and do your vbest. You will be fine! SYITG!
