WIB with occasional brushes with F3 dudes

QIC: Burlap

Date: 21 Sept 2017

PAX: Thistle (WD), Root Canal, Mutton, Lysol, Roosevelt (WB), Burlap

WIB launched from Knollwood Baptist at 0530 but didn’t stay there, running to 380 Knollwood and working out in the deck there.  We did three full loops through the deck and the three linebacker positions of SAM, MIKE and WILL as described in the pre-blast found here:  https://www.f3winstonsalem.com/f3/wib-pre-blast-for-21-sept-2017/

We covered nearly 2 and 1/2 miles and did a lot of several exercises, some of which sucked like 60 Mike Tysons and 60 Low Country Crabs.  We did about three minutes of Warrior One as a stop to re-gather the Pax and re-gather the Q’s breath.

NMM

  • Not all pax read the pre-blast, so we used the mosey over to the deck to explain the three levels and the exercises that made up the list.  There were a lot of exercises to memorize, but the anagrams helped.
  • Pax stayed together anyway, as no one was pushing too hard, and this group has a good base level of conditioning.
  • We saw @Drano and @Whirly at #WarriorOne four times and joined their exercises for about one minute each time.  @Lysol and @Whirly shared a mat briefly, and YHC is trying to reject the visual image.
  • @Roosevelt asked if anyone worked in the adjacent buildings — no one does.  It finally dawned on me that he was looking for a restroom.  CFA was not open, and neither was HT, so it was Starbucks for @Roosevelt.  He missed only part of a round of ramps and exercises.  In related news, @Roosevelt was running very fast at the end of the workout, like a man unburdened by …, well, like a man unburdened.
  • @Thistle likes to move around during ISTs and lunges.
  • @RootCanal is an animal, and YHC means that in a good way.
  • @Mutton and @Thistle discussed the upcoming Duke-UNC football game, with both sides being appropriately humble.
  • @Patch, @Zuckerberg and @Chomper finished with our COT after logging between 9 and 10 miles.  @Zuck ran a fast pace but didn’t mean too.  Amazing how fast and strong you can get when you train consistently and don’t look at your watch.
  • Per MMR, @RoadApple ran by the AOs this a.m. but we didn’t see him.
  • When YHC got to his car, he found a note from @BAM stating that he got a great deal on motorcycle insurance and was going up the country.  Now I can’t get that tune out of my head.

COT

  • Prayers for those affected by Hurricanes
  • Prayers for 1st Pres all church retreat and especially Zuck and his M in leadership roles
  • Prayers for parenting grace and wisdom
  • YHC took us out.

Honor to be a part of this,

Burlap

    YHC can verify Road Apple sighting! While waiting on pax to make a reappearance, unsuccessfully, he came cruising by and gave a shout out.
    Saw the early tweet, but missed the official pre-blast with destination of beatdown. Oh well, got in a few merkins/squats/jog before going up the country.

    Burlap delivers an organized and “economical” WIB. Great group. FYI – bring own mat to WarriorOne w/ #Whirly – Guess #CherryPie is scared of Sam, Mike and Will – #Roosevelt banned from Starbucks.

    YHC likes to say anagram…it makes YHC sound smart. Speaking of smart, my hammys smart from Mike Tysons, Monkey Hump, IS squats, lunges, and Whirly…

    WIB is the greatest!!
