This morning, we ventured into the dark and twisted heart of the First Watch—the infamous Satan’s Taint, a desolate stretch that dead-ends in the ominously named Satan’s Butthole. Spirits were high, and headlamps (at least mine) were on, as we descended into this unknown territory. The Warmup We jogged down to the taint, did a few warmup exercises, and braced ourselves for what was next. The Main Event Our main workout was a mailbox interval special: two mailboxes forward, one mailbox back, with each PAX cycling through ab, leg, and upper body exercises. But somewhere along the way, we noticed…

Six strong and one weak teamed up for the 5th anniversary of First Watch and YHC’s 7th F3 anniversary.

The Q sheet has been sitting somewhat empty in Westhoe over the last couple of weeks so YHC has been jumping in to fill the sheet as needed.

8 men gathered all wondering who was going to be the Q. YHC spoke up and said we’d do a Hawt Potato and YHC would start off…. Mosey to the top of the Triangle for a COP. The Pax was mocking YHC for the Swedish Chef counting routine so YHC decided to keep the Q. After the COP we moseyed down to the bottom of the hill for a Triple Check. P1 runs, P2 HRM’s, P3 WWII’s. Mosey over to the bottom of the hill. YHC did a freestyle riff of an Arch Loader. We did various exercises to make…

It started as seven and then broke out into two groups of two and three groups of one for a series of Tabathas after COP.

Series 2 – Rocky Balboa’s, Lunges, Dips, Elbow Plank, and Flutter Kicks – Timed across stations and three times through the series. YHC took us out. Prayers for those in our schools and Last Call’s friend’s grandson.

As the clock struck 0500, Splinter and Hutton returned from their pre-workout run and Fudd came screeching into the parking lot. YHC knew it was time to get started.
