Snoop - Warmerama: 40 too many SSH, 20 too many Merkins, Right quantity of Planks, Nice easy Rifle Carry Bag to Wall, 10 too many Mike Tysons, Finally a Hotbox Gear Loop to Stop Sign. Something I like to do.
Muschamp YHC- Gear Carry Trinity Loop, Wet Grass Hill Sandbag Bear Crawls, Partner Sandbag Legit-Ups, (y'all need to work on these) Shortish Gear Jack back to Flag. You missed out on serpentine bear crawls 2.0, Sandbag tosses, and a few others I had planned out.
Muschamp Snoop - for 3 rounds of Sand Ball Walls, finish with sandbag partner tosses, LOP exercises till the bell.
COT: Labor Day Convergence, Prayers for Mortimer's 3 year old son & Levine 5K Fundraiser. Snoop awarded "Acceleration" Patches to Uncle and Hebrew Hammer.
NMM: Snoop gave me some extra time today, so I decided to take us for a longer gear loop. I always thought that one of the powerful things about F3 is the mental toughness that comes from submitting to the unknown. To follow a man without knowing where the hell he may take you, or what he may lead you to do. It's been a long time since we did the Trinity Loop, Years maybe? I venture to guess over half of these PAX have never seen it, so I decided today was the day, I may never get another shot-especially after today.
When Forge leads, one of the things he does, other than randomly speaking about himself in the third person-is try to bring something different. You other Q's may not know it, but you have "tells" When I see the Q sign up-I pretty much know what we are in for. I had a few goals today, listed below in order of importance:
1. - Be unpredictable...build that mental toughness. 2. - Make the entire Trinity Loop..to highlight more turf possibilities to future Q's. 3. - Make it back by the predetermined Time Hack of 0605...to keep the peace with Snoop, 4. - Get a little exercise in.
I had enough exercises planned to take up over an hour- we had to skip a few because time was short. Next time, shorten the warm up & skip the sandbag wall, and we can get a legit loop in the books to include more heart pounding movements. Today we did get a little in, just a little. I give it a 5 out of 10 on the difficulty scale-but I really wanted to get the loop in again-so my hope is that it was worth it.
Great to see Uncle back in the box, Cadillac as well. Encouraged by seeing Mountain Momma and Festus coming off the IR...and posting at the hotbox. Chicken Wing seems to always be hanging up at the front of the pack every time I look around. I am also encouraged by Chelms (missed war Daddy by One year and a couple months)....posting HC and killing it up at the front more often than not. Note: I purposely planned sandbag saving bear crawl drags on the grass for Aquafresh but he did not post. Waiting for a Monkeyfeet post as promised and the return of Charcoal aka Hellboy. BOLO for Wahoo soon as we keep building up this awesome AO. Missed seeing Stonewall & Wishbone...and it's about time for some of the SIP PAX to visit the box on a Thursday. It's a big neighborhood out there-they should see it on occasion, especially that wet grassy hill-it has so many possibilities. Not much mumblechatter today. Dredd told me, "I flushed the six" of course I had no idea I was doing that or what that meant. I did dial it back from 60% effort to about 50% effort after that. ColdCuts to Forge, "Were going off the reservation"...then 200 yards later....."were really going off the reservation". Then we made the right turn onto the grassy knoll. It was, after all, all about the grassy knoll. Hope to see you again real soon!
Take Out by M-Momma
Coffee on the second level after, followed by The Forum on Poppy's Porch. As Aqua said, "The best Metro workout to hit all 3 F's"
