Best of both worlds!

Conditions: High 60s, low humidity, and of course dark at 0510 when YHC rolled into the Carolina Forest Community Church (CFCC) campus.

YHC / QIC took a rare opening for a Saturday Q at BombSquad (BS) AO where YHC was #EHd roughly 5 years ago! Not a whole lot of chatter on the BS slack channel the night before and YHC surmised that this was the last Saturday / free weekend before the school year. CrossStitch, Billy Blanks and rest of clan “H” reportedly at Carowinds (CS opting for safety of the kiddy rides; BB front seat at the Intimidator likely – lol!) Fortunately, those who showed up this morning were in for a treat! A Sunshine and Pikachu amalgamation of the Deck O’ Death and Blocks — the Best of Both Worlds!

YHC rolled into the BS AO 45 minutes early for a warmup 5K pre-run. 2 for a beastly 10Ksh pre-run! 7 other Pax showed. Pre-workout #mumblechatter ensued, 1-minute warning, welcome to F3, disclaimer and then we got after it.

Warm Up:  An assortment of usual F3 GrandStrand (F3GS) exercises IC plus 22 Merks. Mosey lap around CFCC campus and to the church entrance overhang stopping along the way to grab a block from the #coupon pile.

NMMS 1: Strong work today! Blocks combined with the beneficial “muscle confusion” that a DoD brings was challenging. #Mumblechatter was definitely flowing!

NMMS 2: Joker 1 (75 4-ct. FKs) and Picture Cards (120 Thrusters in total) were the #crowdpleasers!

NMMS 3: 7 for coffeteria whereby the #mumblechatter continued eventually morphing into a bunch of stinky guys “holding court” and solving all manner of world problems!

Honor to Q!

Aye!
