Clash of the Titans…

THE SCENE: Dark and Cold, but not too cold.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

THA-THANG:
We recounted the 1981 classic movie, Clash of the Titans.  Perseus was charged with saving his beloved Andromeda from the Kraken.  First he had to trick the Gorgon sisters by stealing their eye, using his shield as a mirror to see Medusa and cutting off her head.  He used the snake filled head of Medusa to turn the Kraken to stone.

So…we started on our journey on the Powell Greenway with a Route 66.  On the way we encountered our own Gorgon adventure in the form of 9 cards of a Memory Work Out game consisting of Squats, Hand Release Merkins, LBCs, Mtn Climbers, and Burpees.  After we conquered this, we continued on the Route 66.

Our next challenge was thrust upon us when we found a dry erase board and a half deck of cards.  Hearts were burpees, Clubs were Shoulder Taps, Diamonds were Merkins, and Spades were Reverse Lunges.  We filled cards and did the # of reps that were found on the card.

After we passed this challenge, we moseyed back to the AO as time ran out on us….the Kraken will have to be defeated another day….

MARY:
We did have a few moments to complete a Ring of Fire with pushups starting with 5 and counting down.

MOLESKIN:
The PAX performed a flying headlock con queso on a younger guy who was in the park hanging with some other folks when we arrived. He approached us to see what we were up to and noted he’d been drinking and getting high (hence the queso bit) over there this morning / last night after finishing work… (shoutout to Abort for the new(?) definition). He joined us for the warm-up and first several minutes of the exercise and got after it. The 11s with the burpees and jump squats on the Gresham Hill did him in though. Hopefully he comes back out. And I hope and pray we brought some light into his life this morning.

We also chatted with the ladies who regularly walk in the morning as the PAX were leaving. They inquired about F3 and said they were glad we were out there in the mornings while they are walking. Really good to develop that connection with them.

Prayers for Herbie’s daughter, Filter’s mom and MIL.
