2.6.18 Bag of Wrenches BB: Punkiversary. Do you feel lucky?

YHC was pumped up about Q’n at the O today. It’s called the Original for a reason because that’s where most of our journeys began. Added bonus is Wham!’s killer Bag of Wrenches flag. I am a sucker for Flags #..

Punk music comprised my playlist and I only needed to know one thing from the PAX, Do you feel lucky?

IMO I do feel lucky. And I say punk with peace and love. Just a theme. Go with it.

Conditions: Perfect. No wind or condensation and low 30’s I would venture.

Zoottire: Black newbie minimus kicks, black and blue smart wool socks, black nike tights and lulu shorts. Gray Patagonia and f3 shirts and a black ball cap. Think I also saw 1/2 a dozen F3 hoorags

Disclaimer made 30 seconds before 0530 cause we were not wasting any time. Moseyed to get coupons and bring them to tennis courts. Loco tried to encourage PAX to move quicker by slow running or fast jogging back. TClaps.

COP with little (no) recovery between all 10 IC less the * ones

Again not wanting to waste time I explained Thing 1 while we all did…. arm circles. (Name change needed to protect the innocent)

Thang 1

YHC needed sleep so missing the morning EC Ruck (FOMO) gave me time to set up 10 stations on the tennis courts. 22 PAX were divided into 2-3 man groups with coupons. 10th station was our timer. They did burpeecides with 1-2-3-4 (10 total ) burpees at tennis court lines. When they finished they headed to station 1 and everyone moved down the line.

Stations:

Curls

Rows

Squats

Incline Merkins

Coupon Flutters

Overhead Press

Press on Back

Swings

Coupon Lunges.

After 5 rotations we lined up and did an AYG up and back. Then continued. Everyone hit each station and we finished with another AYG run and time was dwindling so we returned coupons and ran back to tennis courts.

Mentioned defined abs in PreB so i planned to have us work on them.

Phiffer Kicks on Qs switch- MC was strong for about 30 seconds then utter silence less moans. It was beautiful.

20 Big Boy Sit Ups

Rinse and repeat. Moans continued

LBC Rosalita Webb’s. I felt as though I was counting solo but think I may have heard Face chime in. This was difficult but the PAX persevered.

Time up. Back to Flag for COT. COR, NOR and BOM. Someone drew 6 but passed to Donger. Shock there as I thought he liked 80’s movies (P&L)

Ask SkyQ for strength to stay on his path and to continue the pursuit to get better.

Since this week marks YHCs 10th wedding anniversary I have been looking back at what got me here. I got knocked down, but I got up again (don’t get any ideas CountryBoy). Pretty much rinse and repeat that over the last 37 years and that’s what you call life. For me it’s been good times and bad. We have lost life and welcomed new ones to this world.

I could go on but we have all experienced similar journeys to get to this point. If I look back at June ’17 I can point to one moment that changed everything. I had been bouncing back and forth between fat and fatter. Down and downer (I believe it may in fact be more down but). Life’s challenges had me down because I allowed them to bring me down. Then I posted to my first F3 beatdown. No not that one. The next one.

Again we all have similar journeys with F3 but for me, in short, it has been this. Get Better. Don’t allow external factors to effect your actions. Band with those who have similar views. And most importantly have fun cause tomorrow is promised to no man.

Thanks F3Louisville. You nailed it.
