2021 F3 Highlands All-Star Race Mettle Beatdown - June 14, 2021

 

• When: 06/14/21
• QIC: Powerball
• The PAX: Poutine, Shazam, Iluminati, Ponyboy, Ambassador, Black Sheep, Man Down, Woodstock, Powerball

An early-Sunday check of the SUG by YHC noticed that there was no Q for Mettle.  As a result, a decision was made and a Twitter Preblast ensued. A couple of quick HC’s via Slack ensured there would be some attendance; Nine total PAX came together to join today’s “event.”

Last night’s NASCAR All-Star Race inspired this beatdown’s design.  The All-Star Race was traditionally at our very own Charlotte Motor Speedway, but this year it occurred at Texas Motor Speedway after taking place at Bristol last year.

Shovel flag was planted.  A descent disclaimer was provided and off we went to mosey to the clubhouse and back.

THE THANG

Coupons obtained with an official welcome to the Highlands All-Star Race Mettle Beatdown.  Yesterday’s NASCAR All-Star Race took on a brand new format:

100 Laps | Six Rounds

Round 1-4: 15 Laps each; Round 5: 30 Laps; Round 6: 10 Laps

Therefore, this beatdown mirrored the format with reps equaling laps.

Round 1: Kettlebell Swings (15)

Round 2: Skull Crushers (15)

Round 3: Bent-over Rows (15)

Round 4: Curls (15)

Round 5: Chest Press (30)

Round 6: Thrusters (10)

Followed by a mosey around the island and back for repeato.

We successfully completed six circuits, which was the unspoken goal.  That’s a total of 600 reps (90, 90, 90, 90, 180, 60).

MOLESKIN:

• If you actually watched the All-Star Race, you’ll understand the only parallel from this beatdown was the lap (rep) numbers. The details of the actual race format were far too complicated to implement appropriately.
• YHC deemed all nine of us were winners, Montessori style.
• S/o to @Poutine for delivering the coffee today, since YHC stays with salt water strictly for rehydration post-beatdown (yes, you read that correctly).  Some interesting ideas involving breakfast food trucks were thrown around for future utilization. Show to know.
• Prayers included, but not limited to: @Shooter and his family after losing his father over the weekend; continued support to @Shazam and his family.
• As we approach this week, let’s be reminded of how fortunate we all are.  Instead of looking at what we HAVE to do, appreciate what we GET to do.
