What had happened was a Wear Your Name costume party convergence workout to celebrate the 10 years ago that Dromedary started and was part of the movement to expand F3 into Waxhaw.

1. Bratwurst led for the first 10 minutes with warm-up mosey, world’s greatest stretch routine, and then several 60sec core exercises. If you liked that, minus the warm-up mosey, then #Pokey is the non-Daylight Saving Time option of gumby. We will still be meeting 0530 on Wednesdays, and at the same place of today – MRHS in COT conjunction with dromedary. We still need recovery and core strength days in cold temps, and there are PAX around the F3-Nation that have provided many lessons on how to do this even in Sub-freezing temps. Expect a 45min recovery-aimed workout to warm you up, build the core, and stretch you out. Pre-runs will be optional. COT with dromedary.
2. Goodfella led the PAX through several “BS” 10s at light poles. First were “real merkins” that apparently means that Dunkin can Q-jack and interpret that as “merkin shredders”. Then “squats” were too well received by the PAX that Goodfella turned them into Squat Jumps. And finally after a sidewalk mosey, some Partner work with Dips, Step-ups, and some jogging along a dark sidewalk with a dangerous hill. And somewhere in there was 10 Burpees OYO.
3. Finally, back at the launch, some MARY options led by prior Site Qs including Dana & Bananas with LBCs, Box Cutters, American Hammers, Bigboys, and Pistol LBCs, until Deadwood heard the rooster crow and tried to end the workout, but Dana persisted until he was happy with his extended Flapjack of Pistol LBCs and Goodfella called Recover.

At the f3southcharlotte.com/2014/10/29/home-on-the-range/ and present today were: Good Hands, Ice-9, Wingman, Soft Pretzel, and original Site Qs Bananas and Bratwurst. And several more PAX that are still active in the Area51 region (but not there today) are Geraldo, Hops, Cottonmouth, and perhaps some others. These are the PAX that also deserve our Gratitude for keeping F3 relevant in their lives and the lives of others.

10 years is a long time to keep these things going. Halfback probably wasn’t out of High School yet, Singlet – Justin Nelson may have been a skinny dweeb, and Hatchet was still hanging around the Nature Boy’s son. But there is still momentum amongst the PAX involved THEN, and NEW momentum has been created by the NEW PAX (and Dromedary Site Qs like Deep Dish Dana Centerfold) involved in Waxhaw to keep building male leaders for the community. Thank you all! You are FREED TO LEAD!
