Pax: Forced Close, Bob Ross, Double Down, Mr. Hat, The Hammer, Taco, Methane, Zartan, Pope, Rhythm, Gypsy, Mashbill, Kilo, Deter, Bird Hole (War Daddy and Guest QIC)
Let’s be clear….despite loving this honorary moniker, I am one only of many “godfather’s” as I was labelled by many Louisville pax this week in pursuit if my own Triple Crown. Such a blessing to be with all at Parklands, but wish Senior Chips, Grapevine, Tryon, Crotch Rocket (his name is a reason you don’t complain about your first name), Starfish, Sauerkraut, Pomfret, and others too many too list were there this week to see your joy and pain.
The Thang
COP: Gather at the Parklands shovel flag to give the disclaimer to FNG’s. Finding none, we quickly ran a hundred yards to the edge of Egg Lawn:
20 SSH
20 Mountain Climbers
20 Imperial Walkers
20 Parker Peters
20 Abe Vigodas
Partner Up
About a 100 yard fastish mosey to The Bridge:
Partner 1 runs down, around and under The Bridge while Partner 2 does called exercise until Partner 1 returns
(then reverse). Repeato for total of 4 rounds.
O Mike Tyson
O Peoples Chair with Sidesaddle
O Copperhead Squat
O Peoples Chair (touch toes, knees and shoulders)
Run to new territory Humana Legacy Commons. Bear crawl up ramp to purty fountain for 3 OYO’s:
O 15 Dips
O 12 Box jumps or 10 step ups (each leg)
O 15 Derkins
Run back to The Bridge for 20 regular squats waiting for the 6.
Carioca back to Egg Lawn and reacquire partner. Each partner runs 25 years on path in opposite direction then back for a called partner exercise:
O 20 Ultra Low 5 merkins (10 each hand)
O 15 WWII sit ups
O 15 Derkins
O 12 Leg throws
With two minutes remaining (just can’t leave unused time in F3), added the 360 Pushup (Walking pushup rotating in a full circle) and Heels To Heaven.
Mosey 50 yards back to Shovel Flag for COT: Counterama, Name-o-rama, and take out by your QIC. Prayers for sure for the family with the son with cancer.
Naked-Man Moleskin:
With 3 workouts in 3 straight days (and Qing 2 of them) plus Jordy’s wonderful overuse of coupons and burpees (with only 22 inches of running) on Tuesday, QIC decided to do more in my wheelhouse of running and constant movement cardio. Hope the pain-in-progress was fun for all.
So jealous of The Parklands. I have been to many cities (Louisville, Orlando, Dallas, Charleston SC/Folly Beach, Jacksonville, Raleigh, Winston-Salem and beaucoup ones in Charlotte) and this is one of the best AO’s. Aside from not having natural or unnatural hills (a/k/a parking decks), if y’all ever get bored with the sights and terrains of Parklands, just holler and I will give some pointers.
Humana Legacy Commons? Yeah….not a great F3 name. I hope y’all continue the F3 fancy of naming commonly used sites with in an AO. Egg Lawn actually speaks for itself (I thought it was an F3 name when I first heard of it). But let me take a stab at this one for you – how about Cylcorama orThe Round Fountain of Pain.
A good F3 Leader is humble too. My bad with not overriding iphone spellcheck for the pax named Deter. So, for my F3 brother not listed above, we know you were there. Give a shout-out in the comments to reveal the real you.
A blessing to call all of you F3 Brothers. I have prayed for all of you since April 22. I had no clue we would actually meet and share collective sweat. Or that i would actually get a chance at another Q.
On behalf of all the godfathers, we are joyful in the knowledge y’all all represent the Nation well and you too will pass it on by finding your own ways to Give It Back.
Aye,
Bird Hole
F3 Charlotte
F3 Louisville 
Great having you back in town Bird Hole and thank you for taking the helm twice in a week. I’m glad when the PAX gets a good beat down from a Leap-er/ Visiting Q/Godfather. We learn so much!
