Hill Country BBQ and Fantasy Football

MRM backblast

Sweet Baby and Sex Panther joined Icebox and Maverick on the Ruck, talked about splash pads, fantasy football, and bbq. Sweet Baby is an expert in Hill County BBQ and will lead an expedition at some point (Sex Panther said he’d be in but if he goes we’re making him hike the whole thing in his sweet gear).

I wonder if Oo-De-Lally is going to be our fantasy football commissioner again this year? More importantly does Ant Man still have the UM boy shorts? 🤔

AlrightAlright Sally Coach K Draper Gold Digger Chairman Mao and Pepper ran, it was super humid and no PR’s were achieved

Need Q’s for this week! Would be great to see some of our VQ’s from a few weeks ago get into the regular rotation! (Stingray Draper Sweet Baby)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out

MOLESKIN:
Not sure if any of the PAX knew what was coming with the gif provided in the #preblast, but they showed up anyway if they knew. There was some complaining about the amount of sprints at Special Sauce’s Thursday beatdown, but YHC didn’t really care/bother to change the workout. Not much mumblechatter during the workout has most of it was spent sucking wind or counting out exercises. Rump Roast did want to do the full count up to 10 of Burpees after YHC orignially said just 1 Burpee each time to return to the line. YHC obliged and that led the rest of the PAX to suggest Rump Roast should have to lead a running intensive Q going forward, as well as captain the Gamma team for the Dallas Marathon.

Some good discussion on Gatorade and how apparently the new version is just kool-aid per Oatmeal and if Draper’s “electrolyte” pills are in fact “electrolyte” pills. We’ll have to monitor Sex Panther tomorrow to see.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Q Source today at 11:30 at Flying Fish in Preston Center
2. Rump Roast Birthday Beatdown tomorrow

How many Mony Mony’s could a man moan about if a man could moan about Mony Mony?

AlrightAlright Sex Panther Thunderlips Oatmeal Sweet Baby Special Sauce PowPow Sally Teasip Plus One joined DJ Icebox

Took a trip down memory lane to a time when I had time to find random songs that repeated a word or phrase a whole bunch of times and counted them out and built a workout around it.

PowPow almost had a stroke after I told him we had to listen/workout to Mony Mony again after he couldn’t tell us how many dips we did but that was just some DJ Icebox hazing.

Here’s the set list:

Rocky IV fight music – warmup

Billy Idol – back plank + dip “Mony” (67 reps)

Rick Ross, Push It – overhead press + squat with “push” (89)

Gangsta’s Paradise – run around the park

Kevin Gates, mountain climbers + merkin with “tired” (42)

Yeah! (96)

Firefly- 3:00 run

Derez De’Shon- Hardaway, Superman + merkin with “hardaway” (56)

I’m Blue – 3:40 run

Unk, walk it out- flutter kicks + LBC’s with “walk” (110)

YG, Go Loko- freddy Mercury’s + WWI with “loko” had to stop 2 min in because of time

No one picked up on the Wimbledon theme! I know Teasip would have if he would’ve been there

We were moving pretty fast today, not a ton of time for mumblechatter, or maybe I didn’t hear it since I was actually counting exercises today. We kept it on the court, avoided bugs, and burned up the shoulders pretty good.

Thanks to all who came out today to #makeglencoefunagain

Gap Year: Yay or Nay?

Sex Panther, Tater Tot, Rocco (Tater Tot’s pup) joined Icebox and Maverick for Mutt Ruck Monday

Took the normal path and discussed sleep training, gap year’s, and adjusting to Dallas.

I just like running

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Alright Alright, Pony Express, Splash, Icebox, Goldie, Rump Roast, Ina, Draper, Grapefruit (FNG – welcome!), Scrubs (FNG – welcome!), Ant Man, Hotty Toddy, Sally, Coach K, Tater Tot
QIC: Teasip

AO: Burleson

F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 20

IST x 20

Burpees x12 OYO

THA THANG:
Mosey to the Quad for a modification on Special Sauce’s Thursday workout a few weeks back. Everyone completes one lap around flag pole, and then you are paired up with your opposite finisher (1st with 16th, 2nd with 15th, etc.)

You and your partner start on opposite sidewalks and run around a lap around the flag pole. When you pass each other, do an exercise and then continue running until you catch each other the second time, and return to the start line. Did this five times, with the following exercises on the lap and in between laps

1st lap: Partner Derkins (Partner 1 planks while Partner 2 does 10 Derkins with feet on partner 1’s back. Flapjack when Partner 2 finishes Derkins). 

2nd lap: High five squats x12.

3rd lap: OH Claps x20. 20 Flutter Kicks between laps.

4th lap: Monkey Humpers x12. 12 Uptown Crunch between laps.

Final lap: 10 Burpees.

Next up was DORA with the same partners. 100 Merkins, 200 Squats and 300 Freddie Mercurys. Partner 1 does exercise while Partner 2 ran a lap around the fountain.

Mosey to the tennis court for Vaccuum cleaners to the first three lines on the courts. Then Penguin crunch x12 to finish

MARY:
Done intermittently during the beatdown 

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC discussed the recent emphasis on Shield Lock, Accountability, Correction and not being able to walk this life alone. The workout was mainly with a partner and the hope was that motivated each PAX to push themselves and be there for each other. We need to continue to be there for each other to encourage, correct and love each other.

MOLESKIN:
A few PAX figured a cardio beatdown was coming, and boy were they right. T claps to Alright Alright, Coach K, Icebox and Rump Roast for doing a mini-CSAUP by double dipping with Sauce’s early morning beat down. Not a whole lot of mumble chatter with the PAX sucking wind for most the workout.  A few PAX were rather upset with the amount of running and the constant running, while others appreciated the running. Goldie showed his cheetah speed the last lap of the first part when he incorrectly assumed that was the end of the workout, which led to him moving a little slower during the partner DORA and regretting that life decision. Kotters to Hotty Toddy for being back in quite some time. Overall a solid beatdown and good time was had. Coffeteria led to Pony Express again reinforcing the belief that F3 Dallas has the best Coffeteria spot with Bubba’s, much to Sally’s dismay. There was a name change as we switch Grapefruit from Whammy and debated being meaner to Scrubs, but decided not everyone needs to have a mean name. 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. July 4th workout and due to high cost of the 5k, we will do our own event/possibly seek out an alternative event

Fort Worth & Dallas Convergence

Cotton Pickers x 10

THA THANG:
Mosey across the way to the field for Jacob’s Ladder with Burpees and Monkey Humpers). Next up was the Dirty McDeuce of Jumping Spiders x12, Gorilla Squats x 12, Mountain Climbers x 12 and OH Claps x12, with a short circle lap in between each round (3 total rounds).

Everyone then partnered up for DORA, which included one partner running the same short circle lap while partner 2 did the below exercises (flapjack when partner 1 returned from running): Merkins x100, Squats x200, LBC x300

Return mosey to the tennis court for paint the lines.

MARY:
Done in DORA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC thanked F3 Fort Worth for having the F3 Dallas guys out. YHC encouraged the men of F3 Fort Worth to continue the EHing of Sad Clowns and did a quick mini-Q school session after the workout.

MOLESKIN:
Some mumblechatter early before the workout got more intense and the PAX started sucking wind. YHC quoted Remember the Titans, but it appears the men of Forth Worth do not watch movies. YHC made that comment to which Hercules responded with “We only watch F3 videos” so they’re obviously constantly chugging the F3 Kool Aid (may even have the IV’s hooked up). Overall, a lot of encouragement amongst the PAX and YHC really enjoyed his time in the shadowy place of Fort Worth

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Stay tuned for another convergence later this summer between F3 Dallas and F3 Fort Worth.

Floods and Snakes

Coach K Ant Man (+ Eli) and Sally joined YHC and Maverick on the mutt ruck and Tater Tot Draper and Kool Aid (FNG who joined us from Charlottesville) ran

The trails were flooded leading to some pretty peculiar routes on both sides. We thought Tater Tot got lost again but his sense of direction was better than we thought.

MRM conversation topics included the joys of homeownership, snakes, act of God cancellations by American Airlines, and how awesome west coast majors are

Kool Aid is in seminary and led us in an awesome prayer to close us out

Have a great week everyone!

Back to the Trail

DATE: 6/6/19

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Aaarrrggghhh, Coach K, Draper, Eli, Ina, Sally, Trickle
QIC: Teasip

AO: Katy Trail (back to #katytrailthursdays)

F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x17

IST x15

Squats x 12

THA THANG:
Head to the trail for quarter mile intervals. YHC decided to take a leaf out of Ina’s book and do 10 burpees at the start and every half mile. However, that was quickly tweaked after the PAX missed the quarter mile marker for the second quarter mile and ended up doing a half mile. Once we got a mile down the trail, we did a half mile of running down another quarter mile and back to the mile marker before we headed back down the trail. Per Coach K’s request, we did a Bataan Death March with 3 burpees the last half mile, then did 10 Burpees OYO at the start before moseying back to La Madeline for Mary.

Below are the exercises for the intervals:

Merkins x 12, Dry Docks x12

Step Ups x20, Dips x 12

Burpees x10

After half mile run: Burpees x 10

Penguin crunch x12

Burpees x10

Bataan Death March with 3 Burpees

Burpees x10

MARY:
Uptown crunch x12

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out

MOLESKIN:
Not a lot of mumblechatter. YHC and the rest of the PAX were getting concerned that the second quarter mile was longer than normal and we realized that we somehow missed the marker and ended up doing a half mile. YHC blames that on the fact that we haven’t been to the Trail in awhile. The usual groaning about burpees and the Bataan Death March which was a testament to the fact that YHC is a Q of the people as Coach K requested that exercise. Good to have Trickle back out.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Happy Hour Friday, Location TBD
