YHC was back in action for the second straight boot camp at Detention. Strong showing again today from these hearty PAX. We had 11 (ELEVEN!) for SL and 17 total for the workout. YHC was impressed at the PAX ability to follow directions. Sometimes it’s easy to misunderstand a Q at 5:05am. Well done to all!
#TCLAPs to Buble for crushing some laps this morning. We’re still working out the distance, but regardless, strong work brother!
#TCLAPs to Wingback for pushing YHC past what was desired during SL. A nice 8:30 pace was desired, but that wasn’t in Wingback’s plans…
#TCLAPs to Postal for being a #HIM and making sure all PAX were putting in work in the gloom. Encouragement is a huge part of F3!
Conditions: 61 and sort of humid (fog fell as we finished)

Count off into 1’s and 2’s, team up
Round 1: Each team holds a people’s chair. Last man wins a burpee ball for his team.
Giggity held off Cream Cheese JUST long enough to take this one for team 2.
Round 2: Each team holds a ‘half-merkin’ just above the ground, last man with his chest off the ground, wins a burpee ball for his team.
Wingback takes this one for team 2, and makes it look easy.
Round 3: Each team holds balls to the wall. Last man wins the last burpee ball.
Team 1 surges back as Mia and Tumnus hold a balls to the wall over Giggity and team 2
Round 4: Each team bear crawls to YHC, sprints to lighted cones, then back. First team back with all PAX wins a ball.
YHC is pretty sure team 1 took this one, but either way, the balls were evenly dispersed
The games:
Fuzzy Balls of Fury
2 sets of 9 cones with tennis balls on top are arranged down a line around 50 ft long. Each ball has an exercise on it. Each team sends a PAX to fetch a ball, that PAX comes back and then the WHOLE team has to perform the prescribed exercise. The next PAX may then go and get the next ball, once the WHOLE team is done. The first team to clear all cones of balls and finish the reps is declared the winner. The Twist: Each team had the burpee balls that they earned earlier… they use those to sabotage the other team. When a PAX leaves to fetch the next ball, he can take a burpee ball and place it on the other team’s cones. At some point that team will need to remove that ball and complete the burpees.
The exercises were 40 reps each, except for the lap around the parking lot.
Merkins, Monkey Humpers, Lunges, LBC’s, SSH’s, Lap around parking lot, Dry Docks, Imperial Walkers, Squats
Team 2 took the crown.
Luckily, there was around 10 minutes left after the first game, so YHC decided to show the Detainees all about the Cone Flip game:
5 cones are placed on a parking line. 2 cones are face up, 3 cones are upside down — advantage to the team that lost the previous game. Each team will form a line a few parking spaces away. The first PAX for each team runs to the line, turning a cone either up or down. (Team up vs. Team down). Once flipped, the PAX will sprint back to their line and tag the next PAX. Play continues until all cones are flipped either face up or down. Play stops the moment the line of cones faces the same direction or until time is called.
The twist for this game was YHC calling different methods of movement to the cones like bear crawl, broad jumps, sprints, back pedals, etc.
Team 2 prevailed again, but only because no one can outmatch Wingback and his broad jumps. With 2 minutes left, we did a little Mary, and called it a day.
