[2 person relay Dora’s]:
Split into two person teams (Person A and Person B)
Person A side shuffles (karaoke) to other side of track, holds plank position once there
Person B is in plank until Person A is on other side, then side shuffles (karaokes) to Person A
Wait for 6
Person A then power skips (Mario-style) to other side of track, starts LBC’s
Person B performs LBC’s until Person A is in position, then power skips to Person A
Wait for 6
Person A runs Bernies to other side of track, then starts Freddy Mercuries
Person B performs Freddy Mercuries until Person A is in position, Bernies to Person A
Wait for 6
Person A lunges to other side of the track, then starts mountain climbers
Person B mountain climbs until Person A is in position, then lunges to Person A
Wait for 6
Person A jailbreaks to the other side of the track, then starts Merkins
Person B performs Merkins until Person A is in position, then jailbreaks to Person A
“Biathlon”…everybody doing this simultaneously
Ski to location—power jumps 25 meters at a time
Get into shooting position—5 good burpees, slow if needed
Adjust shooting position—10 hard count alternating arm planks (elbows down if possible)
Shoot!—1 slow push-up (down 5, up 5 on my count)
Get back up—5 more good burpees
Wait for 6
Rinse and Repeat as Necessary, 4 iterations planned (only 1 executed in reality)
Speed Skating!!
2-3 men line up at a time
For 20 yards, Heismans (leaping out to each foot, holding the Heisman trophy position)…arm position optional and probably wouldn’t help anyway
For 30 yards, jailbreak!!!
Winner of the brackets picks the last exercise (this ended up being Milkman, who picked 30 elbow-to-knee squats)
COT
“Run the race as if to win”
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
We men must train our minds and hearts, just like our bodies, so that we can “win the race”. For the Christian, in this context it means serving others and reaching out to them to win them to Christ. It also means treat each day as a new challenge to conquer, and in another metaphor, treat each day as if you’re going to war.
This is a challenge for me because it’s so easy to get sucked into a routine. I’m probably the youngest one here, and it’s a struggle even for me to break routine for small things. Our careers, families, property, and land all require our attention, and it’s easy to get distracted. Let this serve as a reminder that things can change real quick, and what we put off today may not be around tomorrow. I think COVID has done a great job of that. Treating each day as a new day is definitely most important when we’re talking about people in our community, people who need help. An old army saying goes something like this: Let’s keep our eyes peeled and our powder dry. We men of F3 stand at the ready to serve, so let’s do it with energy and precision!
Moleskin
This was a very cold workout. I’m glad the men showed up to participate. Milkman won the competitive event, so he gets a gold medal? Gold disk? Gold shoes? Anyway, the important thing is that today America won the Olympic Events at F3. ‘Nuff said.
