In the back of my mind, I was secretly hoping no one would show up for Fury.  I stayed up late watching the game.  I knew Meter had pushed a strong recruitment to Emerald, so I laid low hoping maybe I would get a pass.  An early morning text from Alpo explaining he would not be present had me thinking I was right.  But on the way to Fury, I passed Southern Belle at the red light and knew where he was headed.  So there it was, time to do some work even though I didn’t feel like it.  The two of us headed towards the pull-up bar area and put in the work.  It went like this:

Warm Up (10 mins)

100 Merkins, 100 Big Bois Situps, 100 squats

The Thang

1550

15 Burpees and 50 big boys;

14 Burpees and 50 chest presses;

13 Burpees and 50 monkey humpers;

12 Burpees and 50 flutters;

11 Burpees and 50 bicep curls;

10 Burpees and 50 jungle bois;

9 Burpees and 50 V-Ups;

8 Burpees and 50 KB swings;

7 Burpees and 50 bonnie blairs;

6 Burpees and 50 Russian Twists

5 Burpees and 50 OH Presses

4 Burpees and 50 plank jacks

3 Burpees and 50 LBCs

2 Burpees and 50 thrusters  (Southern Belle has to leave during this time)

1 burpee and 50 pullups

 Each round include a back pedal across the field to the woods and a mosey back.

NO COT/BOM

• Secretly I knew Southern Belle likely had to leave early.  Again, I was hoping he would leave before the Thruster/Pull-up combo.  As noted above, he left halfway through the Thrusters.  I was tempted to stop, but made my mind up to go ahead and finish.  I knocked out the remaining Thrusters, then moved to the final round.  I managed to get myself through the 50 pull-ups even though I clearly didn’t want to.  No one was watching, no accountability partner, just me and the pullup bar.  It sucked while I was doing it (and my hands almost froze) but in hindsight, I’m glad I did it.  There should be no quit in F3 Greenwood.
• Southern Belle was in the zone this morning.  Putting in serious work and we went toe to toe on every round.  It was good to have that push.
