YHC announced the F3 Foundation Give2Give (a name that was much too easy to remember so thank you to AA for the memory bump) campaign and challenged the PAX locally by announcing a $1/$1 match in contributions up to $1,000 along with a burpee/$10 raised over $1,000

F3 Blood Drive: TBD.  Need indoor space if anyone knows of a location.

F3 Ten Year Anniversary, Cape Fear, NC: weekend of Jan 15

GrowRuck Alamo, San Antonio: weekend of April 9

YHC prayed us out

Coffeeteria followed for those that wanted the fellowship.

MOLESKIN:
Lots of mumble chatter to begin the workout.  Once again, at least three PAX were hood sliding into the warm up at just past 5:30 so YHC doled out 10 penalty burpees (3/late PAX rounded up).  Lots of chatter/questions/delay as YHC explained the partner circuit.  @AlrightAlright was bummed that there was a disincentive to bear crawl/crab walk quickly and repeated voiced his displeasure.  As PAX were staggered throughout workout chatter was muted although @Rump Roast was purposeful in giving me a capital “FU” some where throughout the beat down.  Huzzah!  I believe all teams completed the full circuit by time.

MOLESKIN:
Not much mumblechatter this morning. Slushii was quick to give A&M props for the win, and proceeded to put on his lab coat to walk us through the Dak injury and recovery (prognosis is good from Dr. Slushii). YHC found out Bleep doesn’t count so much as grunt in cadence. Still #tclaps for being on rhythm I suppose. The naming for Blue Apron was relatively quick (he is a chef/owns a private chef company). Some possibilities included Rachel Ray, Flay, Fieri, and Martha. YHC couldn’t remember the company that Martha Stewart got busted for insider trading with, so Blue Apron won out. Bleep also did 13 more F3 t shirt burpees today. 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. F3 Foundation has kicked off giving in October!
2. Pow Pow & Siesta are going to host a Paella, tentatively scheduled for 11/7
3. F3 10 Year anniversary
4. Grow Ruck in April

Tour de Harbor

#backblast #pureharbor

AlrightAlright Special Sauce Stingray Rump Roast Pepper F150 joined YHC for a tour of The Harbor this AM, here’s the thang:

Warmup

Go paint the lines at the closest tennis courts

Playground 1: 5 reps of each exercise, 3 times
Pull-ups
Rugby Sit-ups
Nipplers
Superman’s
Plank jacks

Mosey to other playground
12 irkins
12 dirkins
12 dips
x 3

Go to big tennis courts
Core Suicides
25 heels to heaven, Suicide court 1
50 big boy sit-ups, Suicide court 2 lines only
75 leg lifts, Suicide court 3 lines only
100 reverse crunches, Suicide court 4 lines only

Mosey back to parking lot

Total mileage: Approx 2.5 miles

Awesome morning today, Pepper was in the parkibg lot first so not sure if he spent the night in his car because the M kicked him out or not, but good to see him. I had a Ultra style burpee on burpee Jacob’s Ladder planned for after the core suicides but didnt get there, something to look forward to next time. Thank you F150 for inspiring me with the group of 4 tennis courts on Wednesday. T claps to Rump Roast for killing it this AM, i may have made a snide comment about him possibly dying when I saw him pull up 😉

Was good to do some core exercises again, won’t help with anything IPC related but might help me with my golf swing and at the end of the day I’d rather get back to shooting in the mid 80s than be able to complete 100 manmakers faster than some dude in SC

Good luck to all competing in the golf tournament tomorrow and T Claps to Ultra for organizing!

Trying to figure out how many more times I can reference golf since it’s driving F150 and Rump Roast nuts

Go Cubs, DJ Icebox out!

Ring the Bell, School’s In – 9/24/20

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Isiah, B cup, Gambler, Sweep (FNG)
QIC: Oatmeal

AO: La Madeleine
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 15 IC

Kim Jung Ils x10 IC

Windmill x 15 IC

THA THANG:

Billy Madison workout – From the Exicon: Inspired by Billy Madison’s journey through back through school, this routine involves a running loop and exercise per grade.  For best effects, perform routine on school grounds. Begin with a loop (ideally single-file line leader style) to simulate the grade, followed by an exercise with 12 reps as the exam.  This concludes 1st grade.  Run the loop again, followed by the 1st grade exercise x 12 reps plus a new exercise x 12 reps.  This concludes 2nd grade. Continue with the loop and adding an exercise each time until you’ve completed one loop and exercise combo for each of the 12 grades. 

Exercises were as follows with a lap around the stadium after each round:

Bonnie Blairs

Irkins

LBC’s

Lunges

Yeah Thrusts

Merkins (time ran short at this point so YHC called a jail break back to La Mad)

A…

Had a few minutes when we got back to the parking lot so we did some Homer to Marge and then 6” hold until time

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out

MOLESKIN:
YHC had two workouts in mind for the gloom and decided on Billy Madison when Gambler introduced his FNG since it would be a more social/keep us together.  The running exercise combo got to the PAX and there was very little mumblechatter from the get go.  YHC recorded just over four miles and kudos to B Cup and Sweep for making it through a tough workout.  However, YHC determined us to be remedial students since we only made it through the sixth grade, but I was quickly reminded by PAX that the lap was in excess of a normal quarter mile.  So maybe we are just extremely thorough students.  Goal would be to continue training and see how much we can improve.

Another round of coffee? 9/23/20

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Aaarrrggghhh, Sound Machine, Slushii, DFib
QIC: Oatmeal

AO: Coffee Park
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 15 IC

IST x15 IC

Kim Jung Ils x10 IC

THA THANG:

Modified four corners starting at playground and working around the park counterclockwise x 5 rounds increasing reps by original number each lap:

  • 5 pull ups bear crawl to large tree in NE corner
  • 10 squats; run to bleachers in NW corner
  • 5 derkins; backward run to SW corner
  • 10 Russian twists; sprint back to SE corner playground equipment

Omaha after 4 rounds to get in some TCB suicides starting at the far north end of Turtle Creek Blvd:

  • Start with a T merkin x1
  • Run to alley
  • Carolina dry dock x1
  • Bear crawl back to start; complete T merkin x1
  • Sprint to Villanova
  • Burpee x1
  • Sprint back to start

Repeato adding one rep (Omaha run for bear crawl in rd 2)

Mosey back to playground to finish

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out, and then talked a bit about opening up and being vulnerable with the PAX.  This is a key tenet of F3.  It also allowed YHC to plug, once again, the necessity of Shield Lock groups, but also open up about struggles at home with kids and general family life during Covid.    

MOLESKIN:
Random mumblechatter throughout workout especially during bear crawls.  YHC and Aaarrggghhh attempted to EH a park patron after a round of derkins but neither of us had a card so YHC pulled some out of the car during the next sprint.  Pullups are definitely a weak spot for most PAX since the beginning of Covid so it was nice to get in some quality lat work.

Free Therapy with MRM

Oatmeal joined YHC and Maverick for MRM

Went at a 16:07 pace, would’ve broken 16 min but dodged some cars that slowed us down

Thankful for some company this AM! Thought I’d be solo trying to compete against a Special Sauce Q

Oatmeal was kind enough to let me have a free therapy session, coversation wide ranging and many of the world’s problems have been solved. You’re welcome!

Boy Band Beatdown

Bleep and sound machine joined Slushii and YHC for our boy band beatdown

Here’s the thang

SSH
IST
daisy pickers

Boy Band Dora
Group of 4 a la 98 Degrees

Took turns running a short lap around the tennis courts while the rest of the PAX completed the following exercises

100 of each (all in cadence…ie choreographed)
Upper Body (with block)
chest presses, curls, shoulder presses
Lower Body (with block)
Dead lifts, squats
Core (with block)
Freddie Mercury, sit ups, leg raises over coupon

A lot of fun putting this together with Slushii and Agnes glad to get a couple PAX to complete our vision

I saw Oatmeal at the corner of Mockingbird and Abrams at 0520 and tried talking him into coming to the fun workout this AM but he turned me down

A lot more coupon work than I’m used to, doing the exercises in cadence definitely made it harder. Not a ton of mumblechatter because we were counting the whole time

Bleep posed for the F3 #dadbod calendar and I got a good shot, my vote is for September since it’s his bday month

MOLESKIN:
Lots of mumblechatter this morning around the soreness from IPC. Didn’t hit many F’s on the Rump scale so must have been a fairly simple workout. Bleep was working on Sound Machine on his ABC’s (Always Be Closing for the non sales guys). Rump Roast made some comments about them not counting and maybe we should workout harder. Sound Machine was giving some good advice on “how to become an efficient runner” which we were all taking note of.
