CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out, thanking God for a new year and the ability to set benchmarks and improve each year.
MOLESKIN:
Great to have Pebbles join us from Tallahassee. He drove all the way in from Mansfield to post.
The #mumblechatter was plentiful this morning. It more than made up for the lack thereof on Thursday and Friday. Where should we begin?
The music… our resident DJ, Icebox, was absent, so Teasip, being the High Impact Man that he is, offered to bring his speaker and a playlist. YHC was quite pleased with the country music playlist that our DJ selected as it provides the perfect pace at which to do 100 burpees, and the rest of the exercises quite honestly. Unfortunately, the other PAX have less sophisticated taste and quickly requested some music that has unintelligible lyrics. The PAX were satisfied for a few songs, but quickly turned on their DJ when things got a little too old school and less workout friendly. Teasip was not surprised at how fickle the audience was.
The burpees… many PAX expressed concerns prior to the #beatdown. They were appalled that we would be ending the workout with an additional 300 burpees. YHC quickly informed them that no one would make it that far. YHC was correct. The first 100 burpees were truly a #crowdpleaser though.
The merkins… immediately cries rained down about Teasip having led the Murph yesterday and YHC having led the Mustang the day before. It made #benchmark week a very difficult week. But isn’t that what we want?
The nipplers… if you don’t know what this is you really missed out, and YHC is sure the PAX will be willing to explain it to you when you ask. These kicked everyone’s butt. The majority of that was probably due to the number of merkins that had been completed this week, but it was also a fairly unfamiliar exercise. It is quite clear that we all need to improve in this area, so let’s do some more of those this year.
The coffeteria… Sally attempted to protests Bubba’s by suggesting Chick-fil-A multiple times, and then said that Chick-fil-A is better than Bubba’s. We heard later that F150 agreed with him. All YHC knows is that these guys should be grateful there isn’t an Inquisition going on right now because that is utter heresy. PAX from around the nation have agreed that Bubba’s is the greatest #coffeteria AO in F3 Nation.
The social media… we had conversations this morning about how other exercise groups have grown through social media, specifically through influencers. In case anyone was wondering, the 2018 Q of the Year, Special Sauce, has the most Instagram followers of any of our PAX with 614. Apparently, some guy named Podcast has the most Twitter followers. Not sure who he is though.
