F3 Knoxville

Birthday Q + Burpee Trivia = Perspective

THE SCENE: Mid 70s, humid, and no breeze
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

207th day of the year, 158 days left in 2021

43 SSHs (4 ct)

Burpee Trivia – get an answer wrong = 8 burpees, get an answer right = regular warm-up exercise

Ribbed knew that Benjamin Franklin was the first postmaster general, so we did little baby arm circles (forward and backward) instead of burpees

Trunk knew that New York was the 11th state to ratify the Constitution and join the union, so we did tempo squats instead of burpees.

Ribbed knew that President Truman desegregated the military in 1948, so we did tempo merkins instead of burpees.

No one knew that Alice and in Wonderland, Disney’s 13th animated film, premiered in London on this day in 1951, so we did burpees.

The PAX guessed that I was 43 today, so we did burpees.

44 SSHs (4 ct)

THA-THANG:
Mosey to the flag pole

4 exercises at the flag pole

11 derkins (decline merkins)

11 dips

11 box jumps

11 ierkins (incline merkins)

(44 total reps)

Run a lap around the loop

Rinse and repeat for 4 total laps, which is a little over a mile and 44 reps of each exercise and 176 total reps between all of the exercises.

(Some of the PAX started doing the exercises before the Q was done with the instructions, so we did some more burpees and started over and together this time.)

Mosey to the tennis courts

Bear crawl the base lines and broad jump the sidelines, do exercises in the corners

First corner = 44 flutter kicks (4 ct)

Second corner = 44 hello Dollys (4 ct)

Third corner = 44 box cutters (4 ct)

Fourth corner = 44 LBCs (4 ct)

Slow mosey to the AO

MARY:
No time, but the tennis courts gave us plenty of ab work

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
9 HIMs, including FNG Vanilla, er . . . Vanilla Sprinkles

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
God answers prayers, but sometimes God uses prayer to change us and our perspective, not the situation.  That’s a tough reality, but it’s true and one we have to accept and learn.  For example, if everyone you meet in a day has a bad attitude, then you probably have the bad attitude, and you need to change, not them.

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Ribbed’s wife, Doubtfire’s family, Trunk’s business opportunities, everyone dealing with addiction/depression, Ribbed’s interview, and Jetlag’s travel home to the Philippines.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
9 PAX this morning, not including the maniac who came streaking out of the woods.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I struggled with motivation at work yesterday. I certainly didn’t give it my all. As I lay in bed reflecting, Colossians 3:23 came to mind: “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” I was working for men yesterday, and men who I didn’t feel necessarily deserved “hearty” effort at the. But the Lord deserves such all the time.

MOLESKIN:
YHC arrived early with a plan to set up some laps at the track. Hopped out of the car and dug around in the back for my cones. Where are they? Oh… I left them at Shamrock last time I Qd over there. Crap. Time to audible!
