16 Gloom Cats Meowing at the Full Moon

0

A solid band of brothers converged to welcome an uprange Q and a local FNG. Here’s how these 16 gloom cats toured the spooky streets of Rountrey, meowing probably too loudly for the sleeping populace. 

The THANG: 

WARMERAMA: 

  • Mosey to the end of the lot and circle up
  • Welcome & Disclaimer
  • A wide selection of excellent Warm-up Reps IC broadening the minds of many newer PAX – yes, there IS more to F3!

CULDESAC CIRCUIT:

  • Mosey around the hood (maybe 1.6 miles), stopping at x7 culdesacs, with the PAX completing the following at each stop OYO:
  • x5 Burpees 
  • x10 Jump Squats
  • x15 WWII’s

ALONG THE WAY:

  • The PAX honored the Credo and stopped periodically to ensure the SIX wasn’t left behind
  • At one midway stop, the PAX were guided to complete Broad Jump Herpees
  • Also there were a few uphill slopes by which the PAX ascended via Bernie Sanders

Mosey BTTF:

  • Elbow Plank for Review of the F3 Mission, Core Principles, and Credo
  • SIX MINS OF MARY – again, widely variable reps wowing the novice minds of many a young PAX

COT:

  • Counterama # 16
  • Namerama – welcome DR MEOW
  • Announcerama (see Below)
  • BOM Prayer – Heist 2.0 Max, the death of Brady’s daughter, some back injuries

NMS:  How many times does it take to EH a guy into F3 who you’ve known for many years? Well, in the case of my Pediatrician colleague Dr Mason, it’s been too many to count. But today was the day! And once he gave the HC last week, YHC jumped on the Q sheet to ensure a high quality beatdown welcome party. Today’s routine was a fun patchwork of many different exercises, easily modifiable, and simple to keep the PAX together regardless of fitness level. This was evident based on how chatty the PAX were, but YHC can attest completing all the exercises as directed was a wonderful sweatfest. Dr Mason lives a few doors down from the Rountrey Clubhouse but since that name was already taken, we went with his license plate moniker “DR MEOW” – so named for his love for cats. Ya’ll can imagine some other quite derogatory options were suggested. This was YHC’s THIRD FNG within the last week, probably just a combination of determination and lovely weather – BUT the encouragement to you all is to KEEP ASKING those guys in your circles – you never know when they’ll finally say yes. Yours AYE! ~DTH
