After coming to F3 for two years I felt it was high time that I got to lead a work out so when TR gave me the opportunity I jumped at it. My previous scheduled date had to be called off secondary to minor toe surgery but this time despite having another procedure on my toe last Thursday I would not be denied. Here’s how it went:

Bear crawl to 1st island and do 10 Burpees

Crawl Bear to second island and repeto (#crowd pleaser)

Repeat until 4 islands were visited

Mosey to the playground

Partner up (size/strength did not matter)

Dora wears pull ups

Partner 1 does pull ups to failure while partner 2 starts on 100 LBCs then 150 Freddy Mercury’s and 200 Low flutter

Flapjack until all exercises done

Mosey on track to rock pile but stop and do 5 burpess at every corner (#Real crowd pleaser)

Rock work:

Curls x10

Overhead press x10

Chest press x10

All IC with a lap around the circle between  each one

5 reps of the above OYO without the run

TR took us out thanking HIM for the day, the fellowship and the men and women of our armed services.

NMM:

Copious comments regarding Splash’s parenting skills early on. Some other comments may have been missed.

Announcements:

Hoptoberfest announced a Brenner’s Children’s Hospital fund raiser with Tiger Kim Tae Kwon Do where he will personally break 4,000 boards with a single kick (I think that’s what he said), DM him for details

Splash is still raising money for LLS 2 weeks and close to his goal of 50k

Bam noted the El Buen Camino fund raiser 5k at Wake Forest next Friday evening, DM him for details

TR is looking for Purgatory Qs and noted an opportunity to serve on city committees that help the community. DM him for details on both.

Thanks TR for the keys!!!

    This was not only a great VQ but a great Q, period. Worked the whole body, tough portions throughout, visited the majority of the AO, and Q calling cadence was on point.

    I was bringing up the six for various reasons but in no small part to the initial set of burpees and bear/crawl/bear. Great job, Ripple!

    Great Job Ripple. Great variety of tough exercises. Great leadership. I had not been to Purgatory in a while and I’m sure glad I picked yesterday to post.

    I was not looking forward to suffering at the hands of Ripple, but could not miss Tiple’s VQ; the soreness will go away, but I’ll always be glad I gave myself the opportunity to be led by a MAN like Ripple. So many guys in F3 inspire me- Ripple is one of the guys at the top of that list.

    That was good stuff Ripple!!!!! I’m feeling the bear crawl burpee crawl bear mess today…. Your ability to interact with and now lead adults is a lifetime skill and sets you apart from your peers. I know Splash is proud….. he should be….. keep up the good work.
