Backblast – Saturday workout at the Mutt

19 showed up this morning at The Mutt for a beautiful Saturday morning workout.

Q: KV, zartan, CI, Busch, waterboy, happy fingers, tiger, draper, Newman, katina, moonlight, juicy, mouth, Backdraft, mad cow, old bay, shula, road rage, tureen

Special thanks to those “non-runners” who still came despite the promise of lots of running – happy fingers, moonlight, and waterboy all got better today at something out of their comfort zone. As I mentioned, I didn’t like push-ups and burpees when I started F3 but I don’t think El Capitan (my name for CI) and zartan gave a crap when I showed up for my first posts.

I’m not sure if anyone really cares about how many SSH or merkins we did for each part of the workout, so here is a loose synopsis along with my observations from this morning

1. Warmup – thanks to tureen for getting us warmed up. Side note: never ask zartan to make the call on when to stop a particular exercise. He almost made me puke during my signature exercise – the slide n burp. I had plans on dominating the Mini Murph, but zartan left me damaging for the the running that would ensue.
2. The mini Murph – going forward this will be called “El Capitan” or the “the Busch”. These two guys absolutely destroyed Thang 1 and left everyone in their dust. Larry Bird award recipients for the day.
3. Non runners also learned today that running is a great laxative …. gets the bowels moving after a night of inactivity – just ask zartan and moonlight …. they will now be known as Shitbreak and Outhouse going forward.
4. Break out performance of the day – Newman and Draper – these two put the Murph on notice – they are ready to conquer the full Murph.
5. Coupon circle – old school rock accompanies our “jazzercise” workout. Some impressive jump rope skills on display.
6. Finish with a two lap Indian run with an AYG finish … lots of guys were getting after it …. maybe the running wasn’t so bad after all.

KV out.
