Whoop whoop, posting my first BackBlast.
Arrived at the Mount a few minutes early and drove to a nearby parking lot to drop off two decks of cards for later. Drove back to the flag and hopped out of the truck. It’s cold.
5:30, an FNG showed up, so YHC stumbled through an intro and welcomed everyone to the Mount. 10 PAX ready to go.
For Warm-up:
- 15 Side Straddle Hops
- 15 ATT’s
- 15 Windmills
- 10 Little Arm Circles
- 10 Reverse Arm Circles
- 15 Hill Billies
- 15 Humpies
Mosey from flag to earlier-mentioned nearby parking lot. Found a nice place to do a few burpees enroute, so we did 10 before continuing said mosey. It’s not cold anymore.
Nearby parking lot has two decks of cards. Pinochle Station lists a few activities:
9 = 9 Merkins- 10 = 10 Squats
- Jack = 11 Plank Jacks
- Queen = 12 Carolina Dry Docks
- King = 13 Mountain Climbers (It’s the Mount after all)
- Ace = 14 Peter Parkers
Heading north across the parking lot, we make 3 stops: lamp post, tree, lamp post, and perform the exercise card we pulled on our way to the other end. At the other end awaits the next deck of cards, a Poker Station:
♦ = Lunge Walk- ♠ = Bear Crawl
- ♥ = Crab Walk
- ♣ = Crawl Bear
The number on the card determines the number of parking lot spaces to cross performing selected exercise heading south across parking lot to the first deck.
We divide into two teams of 5 and commence workout: Team 1 at Poker and Team 2 (inc YHC) at Pinochle. Team 2 pulls a card and sees Team 1 already finished with their first Poker Deck card and headed toward Pinochle – must’ve been a 2. Over the next 30 minutes, Team 2 was lapped at least twice, mostly due to YHC, and Team 2 pulling SO MANY face-card clubs from the Poker deck.
Finally sick of Crawl Bears, we mosey back to the flag (after stopping again for a few more burpees).
Have a few minutes left, so YHC led 20-count in cadence LBC’s, Short Sale 10 Box Cutters, Doc McStuffins 10 American Hammers, and finally Doughboy for a Hollow-body Hold.
Circle up, and YHC shared a word from John Piper on magnifying God with thanksgiving:
I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving. (Psalm 69:30)
Count-o-rama, Name-o-rama, and welcomed FNG Snickerdoodle to the F3 Nation.
SYITG.
