MOLESKIN:
Coach K sent a late night text requesting a substitute Q because Teasip peer pressured him into going out, but we rallied through. More to follow.

Early comment from AlrightAlright about a shortage of PAX, and I think I’ve officially fallen to the ranks of scaring people off with my oh so charming personality. Fortunately my feelings regenerate at the twice the speed of a normal man, so we powered on.

Our story really begins at AA’s suggestion of: “I’ve always wanted to crawl bear that library staircase.” Coach K was curious as well, and so I gave a brief disclaimer before all the PAX managed to ascend the 3-story staircase. It was agreed that it was the worst thing we’ve ever done prompting the “it seemed like a good idea at the time”, which seems to be a common theme in F3.

Lots of subsequent mumblechatter about the NBA draft, which honestly I didn’t keep up with until someone made a dig at UNC. Subtle reminder that UNC has the most Round 1 draft picks of all time instigating a strong debate about the scandal. AA said he was a strong supporter of Oregon State baseball despite them pitching a convicted child molester…minor details.

6 PAX made it to Bubba’s where the fun continued…Isaiah eagerly awaiting the arrival of baby Isaiah. Podcast is starting his new job next week with the Rangers, so any complaints/suggestions can now be directed at him. YHC got some digits last night with strong wingman support from Teasip, the true 2nd F champion. Talked a while about AlrightAlright vocal chords and dance moves. He admitted to splitting his pants at a wedding from going too hard, which is next level intensity. Mentioned how weird it was for AA to have such a deep singing voice while YHC has a much higher range. Wrapped up the discourse debating whether Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood was more successful after their American Idol runs.

YHC prayed us out, praying that God will help us recognize other men that need this group.

MOLESKIN:
Before the workout began Spread immediately protested the Tunnel of Love. It was a perfect day for it.
We moseyed back to the soft top for Mary and found that our territory had been seized by a group of women. Clearly they missed the memo that we claimed this park way back in 2012. We decided to cede the territory peacefully this week, but if it happens again next week…..
Ant Man remarked that the women should be recruited for Females In Action… more to come on the F3 sister organization in the coming weeks.
It was agreed by some that 5×5 should happen more often.
Many complained the Painting Bears are impossible, yet we didn’t have any trouble completing them.
Several of the PAX were overjoyed to find YHC Q’ing for a second day in a row.

MOLESKIN:
Some complaints about too much running during the first Round 2.
Lots of grumbling during the second Round 2.
Icebox asked why we were doing a tribute to Brooks Koepka, and if he went to Wake. The answer: he went to Florida State. We do the tribute because he looks more like a football player than a golfer. This tribute was also a special request from Teasip, and we wondered if he was just trying to get yoked for a Tuesday night date. We may never know.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Check in with Icebox if you and your M or CBD are interested in doing Taste of Dallas Friday night.

MOLESKIN:
9 PAX met for the Saturday morning beatdown. Pepper led the grumbling about Coach K Friday workout and how much the legs hurt, only to realize today’s beatdown was leg intensive as well. The newness and fun of Chumbawumbaburpee has seemed to have worn off, but always a great way to get the heart rate up. Chairman Mao was skeptical of the Egyptian walk and length, but it went surprisingly well. DORA was modified to exclude legs and double the abs. Music was provided to make the time pass. PAX was unsurprisingly quiet with our fearless leader AlrightAlright absent and Special Sauce had no one to keep him company out front. 5 PAX went for coffeteria after to witness the payoff of the Icebox and Podcast bet, followed by a discussion of the addicting qualities of fortnite, Podcast last day at NASA, and marketing scams/social media privacy agreements.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

MOLESKIN:
Was nonplussed and honored to see Pepper at Coach K’s Q. AlrightAlright was a little bitter he was not at his Q yesterday, but I guess you can’t win them all.

Pepper informed us that the HP jail serves Bubbas to inmates making us consider the cost-benefit of hopping the fence to workout in the Mustang stadium. However, we opted to be law-abiding citizens.

Early complaints about the actual Q. That was the last of the #mumblechatter as everyone focused on the beatdown, which was more mental than anything. The bear crawls were an immediate buzz kill, but I knew Teasip was secretly excited about them because I didn’t lie about the quantity.

Coach K admitted that while bad, his beatdowns weren’t quite as difficult as AlrightAlright’s. BOOMER claimed that to be in the same sentence with his Qs was bad enough. Fair point.

We found a slaughtered bird in the La Madeleine parking lot leading us to joke about the death of #thenest and jokingly called La Madeleine #thegraveyard. Which was fitting given the low numbers of PAX this week. Dared BOOMER to touch the bird to no avail and then prayed us out.

QIC: AlrightAlright

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out thanking God for the motivation to get up and exercise this morning. We also prayed for safe travels for Steve as he continues his road trip from New Orleans to Los Angeles.

MOLESKIN:
AlrightAlright noted that attendance was down, and that it was probably because he had the Q.

Steve (this is actually his F3 name) joined us in the gloom this morning. He is on his way from New Orleans to LA where he will be producing a new show on Netflix. The name of the show escaped AlrightAlright at the time of this writing.

Not much #mumblechatter as the PAX were sucking wind for most of the beatdown. Although at one point Coach K suggested that the amount of cardio at the workout was the reason that no one shows up when AlrightAlright has the Q.

The goal of the workout was for the PAX to get a different cardio training than they usually get on #katytrailthursday. Mission accomplished.
