  • Dracula Returns

    Well only 3 beasts posted for Satans hill on this fine Friday at a sunny and 72 degree Satan’s hill. that included only 1 newmarketeer and 2 outsiders. Surely the bullseye Q at Timberwolf kept a few away. I mistakenly dared @bullseye to take the Q and threw a beat down at those that attended. According to the white Tesla here is what went down.

    COP- (all counts are under question due to mumble chatter). 30 SSH. 10 each: Phelps, helicopters, Jazzercise, DQ’s, Imperial walkers, merkins, flutters, LBC,

    Run to first mailbox. Enjoy a run through the hood. Choose number 1-7. Run to the mailbox number u called. 7 equals run 7 mailboxes. Do 30 of called exercise.

    7 and 30SSH, 6 and 40 LBC’s, 50 and 50 Squated, 20 and 80 merkins, 3 and 70 Mountsain climbers. Finished off the numbers with various exercises. Finished with 20: Carolina Drydocks, 20 LBS’s, 20 squats on way back to flag. Finish at the flag with some curb crawls.

    YHC took us out in prayer. Kudos to Dracula for posting 2 days in row to start his F3 indoctrination. Rosco as always great work.
