March Madness

13 PAX escaped the confines of their home and arrived at the AO at 0700 ready to work.  YHC gave disclaimer and advised PAX that everyone should keep their distance throughout the workout and that there wouldn’t be any exercises requiring contact with partners or coupons.

Warmup

• 10 Good Mornings IC
• 10 Sun Gods IC Forward
• 10 Sun Gods IC Reverse
• 10 Butt Kickers IC
• 20 Mountain Climbers IC, ramping up from slow paced to rapid and then back down.

The Thang

YHC pulled Wolverine, Dirtbag, Deuce, and Matlock when we completed our lap around the F3ing Loop.  All other PAX were told to count off by 4s.  YHC explained that we are living in a crazy time where we would typically be watching a lot of basketball and filling out our brackets, so we would be having our own version of March Madness today.  YHC explained that Team Wolverine, Team Dirtbag, Team Deuce, and Team Matlock would be facing off today through a series of events to determine the seeding for the Final Four.  All events will either be AMRAP or speed.  YHC broke out the bracket board and we got to work.

Event 5: Heart Charger Relay (YHC explained he adopted “Heart Chargers” terminology in lieu of Suicides from F3Kansas due to awareness of suicide rates & how it could have a personal impact on some PAX).  YHC had placed 4 cones across the field at the AO. Each member of each team would run to first cone, drop for merkin, come back to starting line for merkin, and then he would continue to second cone while second person in line took off for the first cone.  This continued for all four cones with merkins at each cone and then each PAX would run the distance of the field for bear crawls through Ramses’ Ole Ball & Chain.  First team back would be event winner.

• Round 1: Team Deuce vs. Team Wolverine & Team Dirtbag vs. Matlock
• Round 2: Team Deuce vs. Team Matock to determine event winner
  •       Team Wolverine vs. Team Dirtbag to determine 3rd place
• Event 5 Winner: Team Wolverine

Time didn’t allow for Event 6 (flutter kicks), so it was on to the Final Four.

• No. 2 Seed: Team Wolverine
• No. 3 Seed: Team Matlock
• No. 4 Seed: Team Dirtbag

YHC announced that the final event for the Final Four would be Merkins. AMRAP until 2 PAX from a team fatigued.

Thanks for the opportunity to Q again.  All men worked hard and hopefully today was a fun break from the non-stop news of COVID-19.  Stay safe everyone.
