Moleskin:
Slushii wore short and like a cut-off t-shirt under his hoodie so complained incessantly that it was cold. I have to say that it started out bumpy (Ice Box makes this stuff look so easy), between my speaker having a bad Bluetooth connection, my email kept turning sideways, and the interval timer I was about ready to say fuck it.  Then after the second round, it got better. I couldn’t hear much of the mumble chatter over the music and all those damn beeps! I heard some rumbling about Katy Trail and took that as a good sign that I was running enough in between rounds. Over all it was a great start to a Friday morning.

MOLESKIN:
A week or so ago, I believe Sex Panther had us team-up and run old fashioned wind sprints. Running isn’t my strong suit so I thought this would be a good one to build on that. I also enjoy tweaking these Hero WOD routines to fit an F3 workout and honoring guys that go out serve us so that we can have the freedom to get up and do this.  I would say the pax didn’t enjoy the Merkins as much as I hated the running. As with 40yd sprints in football practice, I appointed Ina to keep us honest and if we weren’t all giving 100% all the way thru to make us repeat. Luckily, we all pushed hard and didn’t have to do any extras. I’m pretty quick when I know how far I’m going… For an old guy!

Rump & Co. First Attempt at a “Black Diamond” Workout

Temp: 60°  
Weather: Little overcast but overall a beautiful post Thanksgiving day for a beatdown

Count-off & Name-O-Rama:
PAX:  Alright Alright, Teasip, Siesta, Prime Rib
QIC: Rump Roast

AO: Burleson Park

Disclaimer: Given 

Intro/ Warm-o-Rama
SSH x 1 (IC)
IST x 12 (IC)
Cotton Pickers x 12 (IC)

  

The Thang:
Mosey to the benches by the fountain
– 10x Erkins (IC, DC)
– 10x Squats (IC, DC)
– 10x Derkins (IC, DC)
– 10x Alternating Step-Ups (IC, DC)
 
Reap-O 3x… I was thinking this was a Dirty McDuece but, without looking it up that it may be 4-sets. Either way, the Double count was ambitious and none of us would have completed the 4th set! 
 
Mosey to the Quad
 
I’m going this workout Bear Crawl Dora! 
We partnered up and did – 
 
100x Merkins
200x Overhead Claps
300x Squats 
 
While one PAX did the exercises the other bear crawled across the center grass of the Quad, and across the sidewalk and back. We ran out of time on Squats, I believe Teasip and Shifty were in the 200’s and Bleep and myself we at 200 even. Moseyed back to the launch point

Moleskin:
I was extra motivated this morning for Shifty to give the disclaimer and lead the Warm-O-Rama. We had to prompt him a little on the disclaimer but did a great job. It wasn’t too far into my portion that Teasip proclaimed that he wished Shifty would have Q’d the entire work out! As soon as we started moseying to the benches it was clear my knee was hurting more than it has been. After the first set of step-ups I wanted to go home. So I modified my original idea of Jacobs Ladder to Dora Bear Crawl and I will tell you…. Between 200 Merkins the other day, @Arrrghhhhs beat down yesterday, 100x Burpees yesterday, and the Dirty McDuece it sucked! Everyone agreed! @Bleep announced that he officially hates Bear Crawling! Teasip on more than one occasion had some choice words, and even Shifty proclaimed this work out was the dumbest idea EVER! I took them all as a compliment! No doubt we ALL got better today. #acceleration #isi #giveitaway

Moleskin:
Today for me was about planning something different. I’ve been posting for almost 2yrs ad Q’ing for maybe a year. I’m still a weak runner and have a desire to be better. I tried to focus on legs more and to run more than I like to. 
I was a little disappointed that without Alright Alright there, no one even seemed to notice that there was no SSH or IST’s! I was glad to see everyone that came out this morning. I feel like this one could use a little improvement but it was a good work out. I HAVE to get a new speaker as mine is terrible.

Lots of stuff I don’t remember –

Temp: 82°  
Weather: Clear morning sky, but humid and hot AF!

Count-off & Name-O-Rama:
PAX: Jazzercise, Slushii, Bleep, Froggy, Classified, & Splash
QIC: Rump Roast 

AO: Burleson Park

Disclaimer: Given 

Intro/ Warm-o-Rama:
Mosey to the Track

The Thang:
Pax didn’t know Oatmeal and I planed a KTT 2ndCT convergence!
Partner up – Partner #1 runs 200m while Pax #2 does max Burpees… That’s all
Ar 0600 we decided to leave Oatmeal & Sound Machine to it and moseyed back to Burleson Stopping about every 75yrs, where each PAX called an exercise. 
Slushii – J-Lo’s (Imagine that)
Rump Roast – 10x Erlins + 10x Derkins (IC, SC)
Bleep – 20x IST’s in Mach Turbo Speed!!! (IC, DC)
Classified – 10x Squats (DC)
Froggy 15x Hill Billies (IC, DC)
 

Playlist:
No music this morning 

 
Moleskin: 
When YHC starts the warm-up with a mosey it raises eyebrows… When I took a left at the stop sign there was immediate feeling of seriousness. Then Slushii tried to break it up by asking me if I was lost?!?! I just continued to mosey to the track. Oatmeal & I had texted the evening before about meeting at the gate we “usually” go in from Burleson. We talked about the “Boulevard” being the backup location.  We got in at the opposite end by the stadium and without the KTT gang started with “The Coach K” which started with Coach texting me this workout and saying “I thought about you the whole time, Rump”… I felt compelled to share the beatdown and a little bit of Coach K whom we all miss so much. I heard plenty of grumbling and I may have dropped a few F-Bombs myself! Overall it was a great beatdown. We made 4x laps around the track plus the run there and back. While not a KTT, I thought it was pretty respectable.
 
Announcements:  
Chairman’s walk next Saturday 22 Aug
2.0 workout, also 22 Aug. 0900 @ Burleson (Slushii is heading this up)

Moleskin:
OK, so maybe it was more “Ground Hog Day” than “Caddyshack” but, again, my knowledge of golf is limited at best! It seemed like a good idea last night. I think everyone heard that the warm-up exercises this morning were suggested golf exercises – The internet never lies… Right?
I noticed Bleep didn’t have a whole lot to say this morning. I believe @Ultra called me an A$$hole the first round across, @Special Sauce told me he was thinking about faking having to take a dump for the first time ever at an F3 workout, @Double Pain told me that he’d forgotten what round he was on reinforcing the “Ground Hog Day” movie comparison. It was a pretty epic beatdown.

Circle of Trust (CoT):
YHC prayed us out – Zach Tellier paid the ultimate price – 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, N.C.; died Sept. 29 at Firebase Wilderness, Afghanistan, of wounds sustained when insurgents attacked his unit using small-arms fire. Hero’s like him paid so I can make the free choice to be out here in the middle of COVID getting better with my brothers. I feel like somehow these workouts honor men like him and make sure they’re not forgotten.

Moleskin:
There was some mumble chatter thru the warm-o-rama and thru the mosey to the start. Bleep commented real shortly in that that it had dropped substantially! By the second round the PAX were asking what they had done to deserve this!?!?! We only got to the 4th round but didn’t make it to the 4th block to stack on the 150 LBC’s and moseyed back to the launch. I took a moment to talk about Zach Tellier and what this WOD means to me. HIM’s like Zach Tellier paid the ultimate price so guys like us can be out here in the gloom giving it away. #acceleration #taketheredpill #giveitaway

We all we’re lacking a little motivation this morning and probably didn’t start until around 0532-0533 and after a quick warmup got straight to business with this mosey for damn near a mile with very brief stops to get the heart rate up even more. I feel like once the bear crawling started we all got focused and were grunting more than chatting. It was a good beatdown this morning. Glad my brothers came out to support our first “official” Midway Hollow Monday boot camp. Look forward to growing the AO and F3! #acceleration #isi #giveitaway

Moleskin:
I showed up this morning with a “field” routine only to see that they were fertilizing the field at 0527 in the morning! Had to call an audible and use the tennis courts, which had a fence dividing the two courts so again, had to modify the run portion of the Blackjack.  There was some grumbling during warm-up about “legs” but, we had to get them in at some point because the rest was ALL arms, chest, shoulders! Typical Rump in that I didn’t even mean to destroy our upper body. It just comes naturally!

Noone made it thru “Bring Sally up” without touching the ground. We’ll have to do that one more often. There was some mumble chatter during the first few rounds of BlackJack which were soon replaced with grunts, moans, and a few choice words about merkins! I hope everyone would agree, it was a beat down. Good ole fashion Rump special!

Happy Hour tomorrow at Sex Panthers. We’ll be BYOB and chair to maintain social distancing practices.
