We know of 11 PAX that did not win their share of the $1.5 billion lottery, because they sprang out of bed and posted for Sprint Cup style workout. Here’s how it went down.
Conditions: Clear & Cold
The Thang:
COP
(Pipeline and Wiki alternate)
- SSH x20 IC
- LBAC x15 IC each way
- Russian Twists x15 IC
- Squats x25 IC
- Burpees x10 OYO
- BB Sit-ups x25 OYO
Pipeline waves the green flag
- Lunge walk to corner of the gym
- Bear crawl to the Meadowfield Track
NASCAR
- Split into 2 teams of 5 and 6 pax
- One man on each team is the car and calls an exercise for the rest of the team to AMRAP
- The car sprints around the track and back to the pit stall
- Car planks while rest of crew pump out 20 Merkins (plus sound effects)
- Next car calls next exercise and takes off
(Pipeline) A selection of exercises called in YHC’s team: LBCs, BBSUs, plank jacks, people’s chair. YHC looked over to the other team and saw such snotwogglers as arm circles and calf raises. #JustSayin
(Wiki) YHC clearly must not have been pushing himself to have the energy to watch the other team or maybe their car was going so slow it was like riding in the pace car compared to the horsepower Team 2 was cranking out. #GrandmaAtTheWheel
Wiki takes the lead
On the hop to Victory Circle (basketball court) to celebrate the greatest NASCAR driver of all time… No not Dale Earnhardt, nope not Richard Petty, none other than South Boston, VA’s Ward Burton. Ward most often drove the number 22 Caterpillar Dodge and won 5 races, including 2 at Darlington and the Great American Race (Daytona 500).
1st Victory – 22 high fives on the wall, sprint to pit road (playground) to kiss your wife/hug your kid/grab a Gatorade and sprint back
2nd Victory – 22 Jump Squats, sprint to pit road (playground) to kiss your wife/hug your kid/grab a Gatorade and sprint back
3rd Victory – 22 Hello Dollys, sprint to pit road (playground) to kiss your wife/hug your kid/grab a Gatorade and sprint back (Pipeline is running out of wives at this point)
4th Victory – 22 BBSUs, sprint to pit road (playground) to kiss your wife/hug your kid/grab a Gatorade and sprint back
5th Victory – 22 Mountain Climbers, sprint to pit road (playground) to kiss your wife/hug your kid/grab a Gatorade and sprint back
Pipeline takes it back
Plankorama
Spider merkin clock, like so:
- Pax assume plank position in a circle, shoulder to shoulder
- Perform spider merkins x10 IC (a spider merkin is like a sideways plank walk with a merkin in the middle)
- Q names one of the pax to call an exercise. “Low Dot, what time is it?” Low Dot: “It’s Hello Dolly time.” Pax perform Hello Dollys to Low Dot’s cadence.
- YHC believes the pax got through 4 sets, 2 clockwise, 2 counterclockwise. BBSUs were also called, the rest is fuzzy due to YHC’s extreme chest-and-ab smokeage.
(#CrowdPleaser)
Finish off the last 3 minutes with Guantanamo:
- Flutter kick position shoulder to shoulder
- Hold 45º while one man runs around the circle pushing everyone’s feet down
- Repeato until all pax have run around the circle
Wiki waves the checkered flag
- Lunge walk, then jailbreak to COT

Moleskine:
(Pipeline) YHC decided to bring in a selection of suck from various other AOs he has visited. NASCAR is courtesy of Jumanji; the spider merkins and Guantanamo came from Warthog at F3 Grand Strand. It’s always interesting to see what goes on in other corners of F3 Nation.
