It had been a minute since my last Q as I’ve been nursing a slight injury (Zima’s Dr. was right). If I did indeed Q today, I would’ve done it like this…

If anyone remembers my Derby themed workout from back in November, I tried to incorporate much of what I did there for today’s workout. Tomorrow starts the 147th British Open. I’m a huge golf fan and this is my 2nd favorite tournament of the year (can’t beat Sundays at Augusta). For years, I’ve been getting up around 3 or so just to watch the Open. So I did a little research to come up with 18 interesting facts and statistics to aid in the workout.
The F3 Open
**Each PAX would rotate throwing the ball in the field. It was a practice ball so you could only throw it about 20 yards or so. Odd holes would be BEAR CRAWLED to and even holes would be LUNGE WALKED to.

Welcomed in two FNGs
Prayers for Vince and one of Cowbells friends
I shared that I posted twice in Hilton Head last week and how this thing we have called F3 is so incredible. There’s something about showing up in the middle of the dark and being welcomed in by 20+ guys that I didn’t know and felt comfortable doing much of the same exercises that we do here in Louisville. I can’t stress enough for those that get the chance to post DR, please do not pass up the opportunity. One of the guys in HH was from Atlanta and once he figured out I was from Louisville, he said “hey man, I was up there in like April and we did some stupid workout where we did 100 burpees, ran a mile, then another 50 burpees and ran another mile.” I was like oh yeah, that was dumb, but awesome. We remember the CSAUP posts (see yesterday).
It’s great to see FNGs every time we workout and to know that we’re sharing this with new guys all the time.
*my pick for the Open is Justin Rose
