THE SCENE: Clear sky’s, bright eyes and humid but that’s expected
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Warm up lap around AO. Included Mosey, High Knees, hill kicks, side lunges, lunge stretch, Frankenstein’s
THA-THANG:
The goal of this beatdown was to try and name three of the Hill surrounding the AO. You can only name something after you have experienced it
- Thang 1- Blind Man’s Hill ( named for the fact that not only can you barley see the top from the bottom but you also really cant see where you are running when in the gloom)
- Hill Repeats- Straightforward, Q set a 5 min timer. Sprint up the Hill jog back. The work came from the 7.7% grade of the hill.
- Thang 2 Second Hill -Cedar St to Anderson St ( Still needs a name possible Cardiac Hill? This was also only half of this hill, it keeps climbing)
- Dora- 50,75,100- Hip Raises, HR Merkins, Leg Raises. The exercises were straightforward, the 7% grade put the stress on the pax.
- Thang 3- Third Hill- Anderson St- Gut Check Hill ( Avocado so pointedly pointed out that as your sprinting and you think you are near the top you look up and realize you’re not close and its a real gut check moment)
- Spartan- pax all starts at the bottom together, Q said go and the pax sprinted up the hill. (Q did win all three races but who is counting.) At the top 10 Merkins and hold plank for the 6. Pax walked back down the hill together, lined up and repeated.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I was reading some quotes about success and motivation. There were three themes that kept sticking out to me in all the quotes. Not only did these themes show up in all the quotes, but than i started to think what all the people that gave these quotes had in common. They are all considered highly successful and respected people. Therefore what i took away is that these three themes really are the keys to success in life.
- Not having regrets act now!
- failure is key to success
- don’t look for others to give you what you want
- “Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm” Winston Churchill
- “I didn’t fail the test. I just found 100 ways to do it wrong” Benjamin Franklin
- ” If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat! Just get on” Sheryl Sandberg
- “Happiness is not something readymade. It comes from your own actions.” Dalai Lama
- “There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing , and be nothing” Aristotle
- ” It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you don’t stop” Confucius
The last quote was very meaningful to todays beatdown. We can not stop, we cant question on direction, we must move forward regardless of the of the obstacles in front of you or the negative voices telling you its impossible.
