They say we’re supposed to try new things. They don’t say you should have to try new things just because the Q felt like it. But such is the F3 life. We tried some stuff.
WARMUP: SSH, imperial walkers, hillbillies, Michael Phelps, Willie Mays Hayes, cherry pickers, Moroccan night clubs, downward dog, WGS.
THE THANG:
Part 1: Ricky Burpee. Ricky Bobby with the lead pax carrying a coupon. The trailing pax did 3 burpees, then ran to the front, and inherited the coupon. A few rounds of this to complete the warmup.
Part 2: Cannibearism. Bears eating bears. The PAX spread out started to bear crawl around a circle. If you get tagged from behind you’re out. This proceeds until there’s only one bear left. (Nice work, Traveler.) We repeated, but running vs. bear crawl. To really complete the warmup.
Part 3: The Q planned to have a couple of 5 minute songs as the timer for an AMRAP (Smells Like Teen Spirit and Wanted Dead or Alive, FYI. Look it up.) but had some technical difficulties so we just used a timer. 10 coupon squats, 10 OH press, 10 snow devils, repeat.
Part 4: Like Part 3 but at the steps. 10 box jumps/step ups, 10 dips, 10 curls, repeat.
Part 5: Another new game. Stick it to ’em(?). The PAX circled at the 50 and took turns naming an exercise. The PAX didn’t have to do the exercise though. They ran to the goal line and back as the timer. I was impressed and dismayed by the kindness and generosity shown by the group. No burpees, manmakers, etc. But got in 2 solid rounds (10 total exercises).
MARY: American hammers, WW2s, tempo dirty dogs, tempo mule kicks
ANNOUNCEMENTS: stair climb
COT: The Q noted how fun the olympics are, but also how impressive it is to see these olympians in obscure sports. They’re dedicating their lives to something that nobody pays attention to and even their big spotlight probably isn’t on TV. It’s about the journey.
