When you are usually the one who is lagging, how are you supposed to lead? I assume the easy answer is ‘by direction’, but with a seasoned group of 17 HIMs, it becomes much easier. For my VQ, I got lots of encouragement and help from those with more experience.

Crafting a workout set was the easy part. What do I hate about F3 because it challenges me and then I love it after the fact?

Abs, Running and Coupons. That’s a hateful trifecta. Yeah! Let’s make the PAX do that!

After a quick mosey out of the parking lot, we took a very dark road and realized that headlamps would serve us well in the future. Running to the cul-de-sac (mostly) and back got the juices flowing for the Warmarama.

COP 2

It was going to be Bears and Blocks (with Coupons) on the field but an unexpected early morning ambush by the irrigation system made it a little messy to do. With a quick redirection to 11s using our coupons, we were still able to work those arms and chest.

  • Direction 1 – Overhead
  • Direction 2 – Curls

COP 3

With time ticking down, we did some Merkins and Squats using the coupons and then laid them to rest.
