Weather: Perfect — 50F.
Pre-run: Several pax got in a pre-run. From what YHC could tell, Mr. Clean, Lancelot, Ripken, and Trump all made the gloom runner friendly (sorry if I left anyone out).
Welcome: The parking lot filled-up quickly as YHC put the finishing touches on the beatdown (20 pax in all). At exactly 0515, YHC stated the 5 Core F3 Principles and the disclaimer, then launched the pax into a quick mosey that included high knees and butt-kickers. The pax circled-up for CoP.
Circle of Pain (CoP):
- SSH, x15 IC
- Merkins, x20 OYO
- Imperial Walkers, x15 IC
The Thang: Yesterday, YHC learned that Motley Crue, Def Leopard and Poison will go on stadium tour in 2020. So, this beatdown was developed in eager anticipation of the [hopefully] Tampa stop.
YHC prepared a playlist comprised of said band’s best songs. If Motley Crue played, then a motley mix of exercises would be executed at 20-reps. If Def Leopard played, then the pax would run parking lot laps that included two 40-yard “sprint zones” where the pace was expected to pick-up. If Poison played, well, Tibata on a 30-10 second split would commence.
The Motley Crue exercises were as follows:
Shoulder Taps
Merkins
Imperial Walkers
Calf Raises, single leg
Walk-out Merkins
Freddy Mercury’s
Scissor kicks
Leg Lifts
Trunk Curls
Sumo Squats
Moroccan Nightclubs
BB sit-ups
Get-ups
The Poison Tibata was:
6-rounds of Peter Parkers (this sucked)
The pax ran about 2.0-miles to Def Leopard tunes.
At just the right time (intended the song to play randomly, but was getting close to 0600 so had to force my hand. Little Willy came on and endless burpees ensued). Everyone survived.
It was fun.
Announcements:
- Volunteers needed for holiday outreach.

Great job to all pax for making this gloom fun.
