Joey Chestnut arose to hear someone else’s alarm going off and was greeted downstairs by Offshore… the same Offshore who basically ran a marathon the day prior. Joey did not expect to be accompanied by his lone counterpart but was appreciative of the company and dadication nonetheless.
With less-than-ideal road conditions, the two set off on a mosey to the AO, arriving about five minutes late. After realizing no one else was around, Joey took the Q with Offshore providing ideas along the way.
Warmarama:
The mosey to the AO had us mostly warm, but we hit a brief warm-up of:
• Imperial Walkers
• Dips
• Merkins
• Heels to Heaven
• LBCs
• APDs
Joey quickly realized this would be the only time spent on our six.
The “beatdown”:
A short mosey took us to the upper playground monkey bars, where one PAX performed squats while the other knocked out pull-ups on each bar. We rotated through this for two rounds.
After a trek across the field, we completed a couple sets of 10 derkins and 20 dips. At this point, Joey Chestnut was mesmerized by all the room for activities, yet constrained by the elements.
We returned toward the monkey bars for 3 sets of 8 jerkins, followed by 10 box jumps on nearby playground equipment.
Next came 3 sets of 12 incline merkins, alternating with step-ups on a nearby bench. We then switched locations and repeated incline merkins where step-ups were previously performed, and vice versa.
With only a few minutes left, we hit the blacktop for sumo squats and a burpee (performed at a safe speed), because what’s an F3 workout without at least one burpee?
Wrap up:
A final mosey led us to the walkway, where we plank-walked along the rails with a bear crawl back to the top before heading the opposite direction and ending in COT.
Prayers were lifted for a safe mosey home and for those in need of extra love and care during this winter weather.
Special appreciation for Offshore’s dadication to show up and show out. Technically Joey Chestnut’s first solo Q, and hopefully the first of many — Joey may need to revisit Hoedown soon with some new ideas.
