Black Ops Backblast: 11 Pax Meet in the Gloom for an Off Day Beat Down #getbetter @F3VilleBlackOps @SeanS_QCR @F3Nation

Stop me if you’ve heard this before.  Two dudes on social media who kinda know each other decide to have a predawn meet up near a park bathroom.  Science says nothing could go wrong and nothing did.  Instead, 11 Pax took the red pill and shunned their off-day for a Black Ops Beatdown (oh and if you’re not on Twitter you missed the Tweet of the Year by Zartan. Scroll down to read it.).  Here’s what went down…

QIC:  Pitino; Captain Insane-o

Pax (11):  Pope, Pitino, Face, Wham!, Zartan, Digiorno, Double Down, The Hammer, Kidnapper Van, Captain Insane-o, Scratch

Pitino took the helm for the Q.  Mosey down the track for COP:

5 Burpees OYO
20 SSHs IC
20 Low/Slow Squats
15 Carolina Dry Docks (IC?)
(memory fading; we did more)

The Thang:

Mosey a bit for lamp post suicides.  Suidcide runs interspersed with 10 merkins; 10 jump squats; 20 merkins; 20 jumps squats for three lamp posts.

Mosey to the middle of the field for Bear Crawl Suicides.  Five yard, five merkins and back.  Ten yards, ten merkins and back.  Five yards, five merkins and back.

Mosey a little further up and pair up (or trois for YHC, Pitino and Zartan) for catch me if you can.  Five merkins running after backward running partner.  Switch and repeato till gassed.

Pitino handed the Q to YHC, so we circled up for some Mary.
Heels to Heaven 20 IC
Oblique Vups 10 each side OYO
In and outs 20 IC
American Hammers 20 IC

Ferris Wheel.  Run from center to 20-30 yards for 5 Wide Merkins, Run back.  Repeato with 10 Diamond Merkins; Repeato with 20 Regular Merkins.

Line up for an Overlap Run back to the bathrooms, but wait, there’s more…

20 tricep wall dips IC
10 step ups (each leg) OYO

Pitino and YHC agreed on the side we needed more, so we did a circuit of:  Group 1: 10 Pull-ups (or to failure), Group 2: Burpees till relieved by Group 1; Group 3:  Plank till relieved by Group 2.  Cycle and repeato.  I think we went 3 times.

Mosey to the Shovel Flag and the Ghost Flag (which remains with the Seneca AO in case you’re wondering) for count-o-rama, name-o-rama and COT.  Pitino told his story and the story of how he became a F3Louisville Godfather.  Scratch called Six and because he sells pool tables and other delights, he got his name.  Pitino closed us out with great words and sentiments.  Off to conquer another day.

Now for the Tweet of the Year:

PS:  That was YHC’s 40th post.
