a southernly zephyr

F3 men are those who come together for the good of the one and the betterment of the group.  I have yet to see this fail.  YHC, as the QIC, called for a change in the traditional AO of the Rolling Stone from Croatan High School to Cape Carteret.  During the day I rarely have the opportunity to get on Slack and keep up with the general trash talking and other goings on, so therefore missed the EH’ing being done for the Stone which inadvertently caused a few of my Eastern brethren to not be able to make it to the changed AO in Cape Carteret.  F3 does what it does and Laettner stepped in to spawn the latest black ops AO to be held at Fort Benjamin park , aka The Blart Invitational.  Purplerain and Kiwi don’t read Slack and show up at Croatan HS, realizing they will be the PAX put together a 2 man workout and carry on.  T-Claps to you gents, F3 doing what it does best.

Meanwhile back in Cape Carteret 8 HIM come together for a workout through Megan’s Bay.  YHC arrived early to find Sparkles wandering aimlessly around the parking lot having done a standard before the workout.  Skimmer is here and ready to get to it, Navy backing his sweeeeeeet Audi neatly into a spot well away from the others, Maytag and Couchpotato make their way up after their standard, Buttoncap rolls in on his beach cruizer, Griswold plants the flag and schools me on the finer points of checking Slack.

3 minute and 1 minute notice given, Griswold agrees to be the official timer for the workout (think he’s got the groovy Gert watch).  Hard start and YHC delivers a mission statement that would make Pasqually laugh and Laettner cringe.  Sometimes its just fun to stir the pot a little.

Warmarama – some Sun Gods forward and back, Cotton Pickers, and L over R R over L 10 counts.

The Thang –  As promised in the Pre Blast we’re headed on a mosey to the general locale of Couchpotato, Buttoncap, and Maytag’s houses for some monkey humpers on the lawn with 10 intersection stops for more work.  Which lawn was going to be determined by which PAX fartsacked the workout.  Along the way we stop at 3 intersections for Merkins IC, Alternating Shoulder Taps IC , and Burpees OYO.  As we near our monkey humper destination YHC realizes that all three PAX posted so not really fair to pick one of their lawns, so since their houses have a handy cul-de-sac on both ends we’ll just use both.  Monkey Humpers 25 IC, more Merkins, maybe a Boss Tweed or 25 thrown in for good measure.  Couchpotato did voice his appreciation that we did these under the street lights so all his neighbors would see where the noise came from.  Onward we mosey more intersection stops for LBC, Merkins, Boss Tweeds.  So all of us who have been the Q know that we get the honored placement of leading exercises from the center of the circle.  Which gives you a clear view in front of you and zero behind.  YHC leading LBC’s couldn’t see behind, but was pretty sure who was there and in the middle of the LBC’s got his hair parted by a crisp southernly zephyr.  SMH. (Note to self, improve situational proximity awareness.)  No need to hang around, we mosey on for more stops of Burpees, Birdman Crunches, and Squats.  Arriving back at the med building start point in time to knock out Mary.  LBC’s, Protractors, Boss Tweeds to the Hard Stop.  Total distance 2.1 miles with 10 workout stops.

Announcements were made, and YHC led us out in the COT.  Prayers for Skimmers extended family as they recently lost home due to fire.

Always enjoy being ITG with the F3 brothers, thanks to Griswold for letting me Q.
