Ctr. parking lot just in case the ice cream trucks got there early.\u00a0 And due to @Cherry Pie&#8217;s relentless marketing efforts toward a worthy cause, YHC made contingency plans to accommodate a very few number of Pax.\u00a0 In fact, due to the complexity of my general plan, YHC made specific, unique plans for a different workout for every number of Pax that may show from 2 to 13.\u00a0 Well, since my 2.0, @Parkay, came along, if the number was 2, YHC would have probably punted at about 0708 and driven to downtown (or Biscuitville).\u00a0 But YHC was well prepared for three or more.<\/p>\n<p>After performing an in-car reconnaissance of the AO and alternate site, YHC and @Parkay pulled into the lot about 0652 and saw 2-3 cars already there including two in the silver Audi alone.\u00a0 Well, the five pax grew to 9 at 0659, and we still expected @BLS due to his HC with @Starfish.\u00a0 @BLS pulled in at 0700, and YHC was prepared for his TEN plan which was three groups of three-man grinders with one extra person running at all times.\u00a0 When @InkSpot arrived at 0702, we hit @RootCanal&#8217;s favorite number &#8212; 11.\u00a0 So, YHC was set.\u00a0 We finished warmorama and headed for the field.\u00a0 Here is the entire set of exercises below.\u00a0 More narrative and color in the Naked Man Moleskin.<\/p>\n<p>Warm-up in parking lot<br \/>\nSSH<br \/>\nIST<br \/>\nMtn Climbers<br \/>\nWindmills<br \/>\nRunning with Scissors<br \/>\nPeter Parker hold it Parker Peter<br \/>\nSSHs<br \/>\nRun to field<\/p>\n<p>ELEVEN: three groups of three-man grinders plus two runners; all three groups perform one exercise at one side of field and the other at the far side, with an alternating runner between the two relieving the exerciser each time.\u00a0 Do these until the extra two runners return from running out bus driveway to Harper Rd and right to and around traffic circle and back.\u00a0 Six rounds included all eleven pax running to the circle, with @Drano running twice:<\/p>\n<p>Merkins \u2013 WWIIs<br \/>\nSquats \u2013 CDDs<br \/>\nRTs \u2013 Alternating lunges<br \/>\nMakhtar N\u2019Diayes \u2013 low flutters<br \/>\nPrisoner get-ups \u2013 Nolan Ryans<br \/>\nFreddie Mercs \u2013 Side squats<\/p>\n<p>While still on field, perform Carolina &#8212; no make that Cackalacky Choo-Choo.\u00a0 Then line up in plank head to two for a peloton bear crawl (no merkins necessary when the Pax passes by).<\/p>\n<p>Run over to a shady wall at school and line up &#8212; wall sit with person at end of line doing 5 Mike Tysons, then the next person, and so on until all have performed the Mike Tysons.\u00a0 Always stay in wall sit position unless it&#8217;s your turn to do Iron Mike.<\/p>\n<p>Mosey back to start\/finish lot for Mary: Mutton Crunch\/H2Heaven\/Big O\/Rosalita\/Glute Bridge\/Hallelujah low flutters.<\/p>\n<p>FIN<\/p>\n<p>COT<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>@Blue Light Special continues to announce pro-Liverpool and anti-ManCity games in an effort to brainwash F3WS fans into becoming Liverpool fans.<\/li>\n<li>@Starfish invited pax to try #DashPaxRucking tomorrow at 0645 at a location TBD (since then, we know it starts and ends at Sherwood Pool on Fernmach).<\/li>\n<li>@60 Minutes announced that it is Armed Forces Day, so we included thanksgiving for those men and women serving us.<\/li>\n<li>Pray for @Starfish&#8217;s Mother (and Father) as she heals and he takes care of her.<\/li>\n<li>YHC took us out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>NMM<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>@Quiver rode his bike and in and out.\u00a0 He only lives three miles away but made it nine miles to get extra mileage in.\u00a0 Not sure what he did on the way back, but T-Claps to him.<\/li>\n<li>@Frostbite did not need gloves on this warm spring morning.\u00a0 YHC asked him if he was graduating or was he a junior.\u00a0 He started to say &#8220;junior&#8221; but corrected himself and noted that he has finished spring semester classes and is now a Senior!\u00a0 He and YHC had a moment to discuss ACC baseball.\u00a0 @Frostbite is an insider, so we can&#8217;t reveal the details.<\/li>\n<li>@InkSpot came in late, as he had not been to #CF, and the parking lot we use didn&#8217;t necessarily match the address &#8212; it&#8217;s not really at Morgan Elem nor at Novant.\u00a0 But he put in at least one hour of work into his 57 minutes.\u00a0 YHC has yet to wear @InkSpot down.<\/li>\n<li>@Fingers treated us to his impression of Mike Tyson during the portion of the workout bearing his name.<\/li>\n<li>@BlueLightSpecial and YHC constituted the first pair of distance runners, and BLS admitted to being out of breath but noted that he would get stronger as the workout went along.\u00a0 Indeed, we were working together on the grinder about 30 minutes later and he showed up quite early to relieve YHC because he was running hard across the field.<\/li>\n<li>YHC has known @Drano for a few years but hadn&#8217;t had the pleasure of being at the same workout with him in while.\u00a0 So when YHC was using him as an example today, I couldn&#8217;t think of his F3 name and called him &#8220;Holland&#8221;.\u00a0 A sign that (1) YHC had communicated with him only via Twitter lately and (2) YHC is old.<\/li>\n<li>@DramaQueen is celebrating his M&#8217;s birthday today.\u00a0 I called her Mrs. Queen.\u00a0 YHC was embarrassed at #Coffeteria when I showed up in the same DashStrong BRR shirt that @DQ was wearing.<\/li>\n<li>@60 Minutes had an apparently traumatic episode with scissors as a child &#8212; consequently, his mind will not let his body execute &#8220;Running with Scissors&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>@Starfish is ever observant during workouts.\u00a0 When YHC called &#8220;The Big O&#8221; and instructed the Pax to reverse directions with every new circumference, @Starfish was wondering if YHC would stop on an even number.\u00a0 When YHC ploughed through 10, his antennae were up &#8212; do Starfish have antennae? &#8212; and when we halted on 14 rather than 15, @Starfish commented on the appropriate symmetry.<\/li>\n<li>@Parkay did not send his usual zingers directed at his old and beleaguered father.\u00a0 Maybe the change of AO affected his wit OR softened his heart to his dear father.\u00a0 (@Parkay just read that sentence and said, &#8220;No, it&#8217;s just coincidence.&#8221;)<\/li>\n<li>I hadn&#8217;t done Makhtar N&#8217;Diayes in a long time.\u00a0 Not sure that I missed them.\u00a0 Same for Prisoner Get-ups.<\/li>\n<li>On the Choo-Choo, some Pax opted for safety vs. jumping over their brothers legs.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/li>\n<li>@Drano can fly doing Bear Crawls and appropriately used the left or passing lane.<\/li>\n<li>PAX didn&#8217;t really complain, but did note in an oral manner the significant amount of running between the grinder, the run to the circle, and the run to and from the starting point.\u00a0 YHC thinks he heard @Starfish say we broke two miles.\u00a0 Apparently, I have to send myself a terse, sternly worded e-mail about adhering to the stated purpose and intent of each AO and workout.<\/li>\n<li>We used less than a page of YHC&#8217;s three-page weinke.\u00a0 I really did plan a unique workout for pax of 2 to 13.<\/li>\n<li>9 of 11 Pax attended #Coffeteria at Biscuitville.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An honor to lead.\u00a0 Thanks to @Harden for the opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Peace,<\/p>\n<p>Burlap<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When YHC agreed to Q at F3WS&#8217;
