I arrived at Fury this morning early, because I honestly didn’t have a plan until about 12 minutes til 5 a.m. I figured numbers would be low today because of Toothpick’s VQ at Epicenter. Lucky for me five great guys decided to not leave me hanging, and joined me for some Fury “fun”.

4:49- Disclaimer was given

5:00 Warmup – 40 SSH as we wait for everyone to come in last minute (his name rhymes with Rootsie Toll).

Do we want to go to the pullup bars? Nnnnnn..yyyYEESSS! Yes we do!

The Work

-Mosey to the pullup bars and grab a block while your at it.

5 strick pullups (no kipping), 10 dips, 15 OHP

Repeat 3X

-Mosey to the island right where we turn in to park

30 sec. count thumbs up superman hold

Then 10 reps of merkins, squats, and V-ups

-Turn to the right and mosey to the stop sign

30 sec. count superman hold with arms extended to the sides (like a letter “t”)

One partner holds a position while the other one runs to a pole and does 5 hand release merkins, then runs back. They then switch. We did six rounds as follows….

We ended up covering more that 3.5 miles worth of running this morning. It pays off to have a good running partner when you do things like this. Holding those positions while waiting for your partner was intense.

As half of us sat in a v-hold position awaiting the return of our comrades, we see Southern Belle drive by headed in the direction of Epicenter. Apparently we look like a bunch of crazy people in the fetal position on the side of a busy highway. Too bad I didn’t have a cardboard sign. It probably would’ve said “ask me about F3”, or “in need of new friends”. In the end, I was glad to have been out there doing something crazy with these guys. I wouldn’t be doing it without them.

I’ve got to get back to coloring.
