Ten men emerged from the early morning mist ready to push themselves and each other to be better than they were the day before. According to the curious woodland creatures hiding just out of sight in the tree line, this is what unfolded.
Per request the AO was kept to the asphalt . Start off with a warmup lap counting each of the corners returning to the top of the hill for COP.
COP: SSH, Helicopters, DQ, IW, Copperhead Squats, Merkins, LBC, APD, Planks, all IC
To start of the morning YHC had strategically placed cones at 25/50/75 % of the asphalt for perennial favorite – The Beast: 6 rounds of 6 exercises performed 6 times at each cone down the “field” and again on the return trip to the top of the hill. The exercises: Merkins, Jump Squats, Carolina Dry Docks, LBCs, Arm Circles.
After slaying the Beast it was time to revisit the corners which had been counted earlier, first corner 10 merkins and plank for the six, mosey to the second corner for twenty LBCs and hug a tree for the six, shuffle over to corner three for thirty jump squats and hug another tree and on to the fourth corner for 40 SSHs.
From there it was time to touch some trees ( or objects of similar shape) – partner up and do three rounds of tree touching, 5 different each time – Exercises: LBCs, monkey humpers, burpees.
Finish up with Mary, stretches and savasana – listening to and taking in the beauty of the world around us for a short time.
Numbers and names. OBT took time to share his story with the group and reinforce for all the residents of The Bridge that once they get a name they are part of F3 and always will be. OBT took us out.
NMS: It was great to see some familiar faces from our trip to The Bridge in August and welcome FNG Green Thumb who seems to have worked everywhere in and around Charlottesville, including a stint taking care of a greenhouse for the booking manager for Dave Matthews Band (not sure the exact connection to DMB but there was definitely a green house involved). Welcome Green Thumb!
