Playlist:
No music this morning

Moleskin:
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

Four corners of GO BLIMPS

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: AlrightAlright, Draper, Oatmeal, Pepper, Sally, Sex Panther, Siesta and Amelia (FNG Brad Trosclair)
QIC: PowPow

AO: Burleson Park
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSHx15, ISTx10

THA THANG:

Three PAX (Draper, Oatmeal and AlrightAlright) volunteered in advance to help lead the workout. We divided into 4 teams, the team captains were these three PAX and YHC. Each team was named after one of the five core principles of F3. 

Mosey to quad by Dallas Hall. Each team occupied a “base” at one of the four points of the diamond-shaped set of pathways that surround the fountain of the quad – (1) at the time capsule in front of Dallas Hall; (2) end of path that runs SW from base 1; (3) end of path that runs SE from base 2 (ie south end of quad over towards the flagpole); (4) end of path that runs northeast from base 3.

Every 5 minutes minutes each team runs a lap around the bases (approx. 400m) and then when back to their home base performs AMRAP of an exercise. At the 5 minute mark, run another lap and move to the next exercise on the list.

Exercises: Groiners, OH Claps, Burpees, Lunges, ISTs, HR Merkins, Plank Jacks, Squats  (GOBLIMPS)

At 0745 the squats were completed and the four teams met for some PAX-choise Mary at the fountain.

Mosey to the benches in front of the Airline garage. On benches: Derkinsx20, Dipsx20, Irkinsx20, Step Upsx20 each leg

MARY:
Also some mary back at Burleson. Best as I can remember we did LBCs, Heels to Heaven, Freddie Mercury and Crab Cakes,

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Amelia was given his name because he is a pilot.  Underrated joke that he dropped when AlrightAlright asked where he went to college “Just a small trade school in Maryland.” (Meaning the Naval Academy).  As a result he was almost named “Cadet”.

Thanks to all the HIMs who posted for the workout, conditions were unpleasant but YHC had a blast leading the group today.

MOLESKIN:
The team captains recorded the total reps performed by their team in each round (much easier said then done given the light rain coming down). “Open to all men” (Oatmeal and Siesta) came in first place, followed by team “Held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold” (AlrightAlright and Sally). After that I believe third place was “Always Free” (Amelia, Pepper and YHC) followed by “Peer Led” (Draper and Sex Panther).  Tclaps to Oatmeal and Siesta!

Alright Alright’s 30th Birthday Beatdown

PAX: 3 teams

– Team Beta: Draper (C), Chairman Mao, Plus One, Sally, Teasip

– Team Gamma: Stingray (C), F150, Rump Roast, Shifty McCoy, Splash

AO: The area surrounding Burleson Park

YHC assigned teams the night before the workout and each team was told to report to their launch location for a prompt 0700 start.  Each team would complete a certain number of exercises (at assigned checkpoints).  The goal was for all 3 teams to complete their mission in an hour or less.  If any team failed there would be punishment for the whole group.

The Missions:

Team Alpha – Run: 6 miles; Exercises: 100 Burpees, 200 Lunges, 300 Imperial Storm Troopers, 400 Merkins, 500 Plank Jacks, 600 Squats.

Team Beta – Run: 4 miles; Exercises: 200 Burpees, 400 Lunges, 600 Imperial Storm Troopers, 800 Merkins, 1000 Plank Jacks, 1200 Squats.

Team Gamma – Run: 2 miles; Exercises: 300 Burpees, 600 Lunges, 900 Imperial Storm Troopers, 1200 Merkins, 1500 Plank Jacks, 1800 Squats.

The Results:

Team Alpha – Failure (Completed 5 miles, and were 100 squats short during the allotted time, but finished the workout)

Team Beta – Failure (Completed over 3 miles and were on squats when time ran out, but finished the workout)

Team Alpha – Failure (Completed the run, but did not complete all reps)

The Punishment: All PAX have to complete 30 birthday burpees with the Q.

This one will probably make a reappearance.

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! 

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

Time-5:30 PM.

MOLESKIN:
Had 4 PAX show up for the #DEACONbeatdown. YHC had to add DEMON on the fly because all PAX finished DEACON in record time. YHC was happy to see a kotter out this morning after months of badgering. We spent some time today talking about bourbon and getting out of town to see a landscape other than Dallas. An exercise that got the PAX excited and brought on some chatter was the One Legged Burpee.

Temp: 74° and cloudy
Weather: It as nice and cloudy even in the dark, with a nice cool breeze.

Count-off & Name-O-Rama:
PAX:  Slushii, Bleep, Sub Prime, and Shifty McCoy

Intro/ Warm-o-Rama:
– SSH’s x20 IC

– I feel like I’m forgetting something here
– Cotton Pickers  x10 IC

The Thang:
Mosey down Lakemont a block or so to Beechwood

– Moseyed down another block for
– Wheel of Merkins x10 each (IC)

Moseyed to Walnut Hill parking lot for:
– Suicide long-to-short using light poles in the parking lot. 

Then had PAX pick exercises for a Jacobs Ladder. Bleep picked – Sideways Crabwalk to a waypoint. So I had to Omaha and had Slushii and Sub Prime pick an exercise each. Big-Boi Sit-Ups and Slushii had to get all fancy and gove us a variation of an Uptown Crunch but from the side plank position, drawing top knee and elbow together. 

After Jacobs Ladder we moseyed thru the church campus to the Midway Parking lot.

Circle of Trust (CoT):
Slushii prayed us out this morning

Playlist:
No tunes today

Moleskin:
It was nice to see Sub Prime back out with us this morning and that it was a decent little Midway Hollow Statpad Sunday! YHC will admit to other than knowing I wanted to go to the church, I didn’t plan the “light” workout. I believe it’s safe to say that we all ran a little further than we anticipated and ended up getting in a pretty solid beatdown. The Second F was well deserved. I think everyone agrees that after the shelter in pace, even with a lot us staying pretty active, a full week of F3 beat downs is tough, it’s going to take me a few weeks to get back into the full swing of things and can’t wait!

BOMB’ing the trail…at a safe distance 5/7/20

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: AlrightAlright, Stingray (late arrival)
QIC: Oatmeal

AO: La Madeleine
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: All present are familiar

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 15 IC

IST x15 IC

Windmills x 10 IC

THA THANG:
AlrightAlright and I started on a mosey to Katy Trail.  Once at the trail, we commenced the following:

¼ mile

Burpees x10

¼ mile

Overhead Press x15

¼ mile

Merkins x20

¼ mile

Bigboy sit ups x25

¼ mile

Squats x30

10 count

Squats x30 and reverse the workout back up the trail

Remaining 3 mins spent with Mary!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out.

MOLESKIN:
AlightAlright was quick to point out as the quarters started that these were harder than he remembered.  I think we both commented on the lack of sprinting we’ve had the ability to do over the last six weeks or so.  YHC thought on a few of the quarters that I would catch up to AA, but that was but a pipedream never to be realized.  As we made the turn on the trail we picked up a lagging Stingray who had arrived at the AO a few minutes late and correctly guessed we would be on the trail (never a safe guess with YHC), but it paid off for him as we was able to enjoy the BOMBS back up hill with us. 

I think it was unanimous that this workout gassed us beyond what we expected.  We need more speed work in our lives for sure!
