Shirley's Temple 10-14-21 Celebrating my 2-year F3-versary

[Michael Farabaugh]

Date: Thursday, 10/14/21

AO: #ao_shirleys_temple

PAX: (12) Ivey, Red, Sound Check, Alaska, Scrum, Rush, Padre, Poison, Grappler, Sunny, Jazz Hands, and Heisenberg (QIC)

NMS: The weather was foggy, with temps. in the lower 60s. YHC enjoyed seeing Scrum’s pre-blast science puns in the Northside text chain. (“I have so many chemistry jokes, but I’m afraid I won’t get a good reaction.”) On Slack, Ivey and Red said they were running a 5K before the workout, and YHC thought that sounded like a good idea for him to do as well. As YHC pulled into the parking lot, he saw Sound Check warming up and gathering some data from his Achilles. YHC knew that he had better begin his 5K run before 0500. If you’ve ever witnessed the “Heisenberg shuffle,” then you would understand the reason for YHC’s early start. Red and Ivey passed YHC at around the halfway point. They set a good pace, with negative splits at each mile. #goodworkgoodwork When YHC finished up his run and returned to the flag, he saw Jazz Hands, Sunny, Padre, Poison, Grappler, Scrum…the usual Northside crew, minus our Greene County brothers Bernie and 8 Mile. And it is always true that any workout is #betterwithalaska. YHC told Rush that leading an F3 workout is like using curse words. You should do it every once in a while, with a specific emphasis, and you should have a good reason for doing it. And when you do it, it may cause others to sit up and take notice. And if you do it too much, people might start to get annoyed. Anyway, today was a good reason for YHC to Q a workout, as he was celebrating his 2-year F3-versary. (YHC’s first post was at Devil’s Dice on 10-14-19.) During the transition from Part 3 to Part 4, YHC stumbled a bit during the mosey as a small hill just seemed to appear out of nowhere. It was only a stumble, and not a faceplant (thank goodness). YHC commented that, in a reference to his namesake’s uncertainty principle, that there was a brief moment where he knew his momentum, but not his position. Here’s how it all went down.

Warm-Up: SSHs, DQs, Sun Gods, Copperhead Squats, burpees (burpees in cadence? The PAX still need some practice with that.)

The Thang:

Part 1: DORA

Mosey over to the soccer fields next to Hollymead ES.

P1 does burpee broad jumps across the soccer field while

P2 (timekeeper) does 20 merkins, 10 big boy sit-ups, & 5 squat jumps, and runs to catch up with P1.

Rinse and repeat until each man does 3 sets.

Part 2: DORA

Mosey over to the playground area behind Hollymead ES.

P1 does a wall sit while P2 runs to a certain spot, turns around, and bear crawls back to P1.

Rinse and repeat until each man does 3 sets.

Part 3: DORA

P1 holds BTTW while P2 runs to a certain spot, turns around, and crab walks back to P1.

Rinse and repeat until each man does 3 sets.

Mosey over to the back corner of Lakeside Middle School.

Part 4: DORA

P1 does something active (e.g., plank jacks, mountain climbers, burpees, SSHs) while

P2 runs up the hill, turns left on Powell Creek drive, turns left into the parking lot, and runs back to P1.

Rinse and repeat until each man does 3 sets.

Mary: Low Slow Flutters, Freddie Mercuries, Wheezy Jeffersons, Penguin Crunches, Supermans, J-Los, Pickle Pounders, American Hammers

Announcements:

Poison mentioned that starting next Thursday (Oct. 21), the PAX are invited to attend a Q-Source “Leadership Lunch” meeting. This will take place at the Bodo’s on Preston at 12 noon.

Sunny is Q-ing at the Bridge this Saturday. If you have already posted at The Bridge, that’s great. Please continue to encourage other members of the PAX who have not yet posted at that AO to make that commitment on a Saturday morning.

Count-o-Rama

Name-O-Rama

COT: YHC invited each member of the PAX to say the name of one member of F3 C-ville who was not present at this workout. You could mention a man’s name either because you want to keep that man in your thoughts or because you want to express your appreciation for that man. 12 names were mentioned, and YHC closed out the COT by expressing his gratitude for his F3 brothers on his 2-year F3-versary.

An honor to lead,

Heisenberg
