CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

YHC prayed us out

MOLESKIN:
Since teams were in various stages of the circuit, mumble chatter varied throughout workout.  Box jumps onto table tops garnered some gasps, but the modification was gladly accepted by some.  The “silent K” nipplers also generated a few laughs/groans.  Sandbags elicited comparisons to coupons, noting they were much heavier.  Big Tex asked if the 80’s hair band playlist was an homage to the 80’s classic Friday the 13th, and YHC affirmed the choice noting creating a fun and spooky playlist was outside my wheelhouse and I found but one or two songs that would fit the bill.  Overall a good workout on a nice blustery morning.

Moleskin:
Today for me was about planning something different. I’ve been posting for almost 2yrs ad Q’ing for maybe a year. I’m still a weak runner and have a desire to be better. I tried to focus on legs more and to run more than I like to. 
I was a little disappointed that without Alright Alright there, no one even seemed to notice that there was no SSH or IST’s! I was glad to see everyone that came out this morning. I feel like this one could use a little improvement but it was a good work out. I HAVE to get a new speaker as mine is terrible. 

Announcements:
Lots of stuff I don’t remember – 
College football at Ultra’s on Saturday 09/12

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Thankful for another day with these men to get better physically and mentally

MOLESKIN:
I could probably write on this for a while but a lot of the stuff was just some of those “had to be there” moments. The #mumblechatter was at an all time high this morning. Lots of chatter about the IPC and what it is doing to physically destroy your body…..we also hyped it up more than normal because Agnes hadn’t done it and is preparing to do it tomorrow. Island Time with the jokes this morning had everyone buckled over. The normal chatter that comes from Rump Roast always makes the PAX feel welcome. Bleep was finishing something during MARY but we still aren’t exactly sure what was going on over there in his little space. Shifty was going along for the ride and had a great time.  We all learned Agnes likes a hot dog coming in hot off the gill. I’ve never heard so much chatter about hot dogs and what does/doesn’t go into making them. I bet we spend 20 minutes on the “hot dog” conversation.  The original plan was to meet up with the KTT guys but after seeing the track closed we “made it up on the fly”. Thanks to all PAX who made it this morning!

Moleskin:
OK, so maybe it was more “Ground Hog Day” than “Caddyshack” but, again, my knowledge of golf is limited at best! It seemed like a good idea last night. I think everyone heard that the warm-up exercises this morning were suggested golf exercises – The internet never lies… Right?
I noticed Bleep didn’t have a whole lot to say this morning. I believe @Ultra called me an A$$hole the first round across, @Special Sauce told me he was thinking about faking having to take a dump for the first time ever at an F3 workout, @Double Pain told me that he’d forgotten what round he was on reinforcing the “Ground Hog Day” movie comparison. It was a pretty epic beatdown.

Circle of Trust (CoT):
YHC prayed us out – Zach Tellier paid the ultimate price – 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, N.C.; died Sept. 29 at Firebase Wilderness, Afghanistan, of wounds sustained when insurgents attacked his unit using small-arms fire. Hero’s like him paid so I can make the free choice to be out here in the middle of COVID getting better with my brothers. I feel like somehow these workouts honor men like him and make sure they’re not forgotten.  

Playlist:
No music this morning

Moleskin:
There was some mumble chatter thru the warm-o-rama and thru the mosey to the start. Bleep commented real shortly in that that it had dropped substantially! By the second round the PAX were asking what they had done to deserve this!?!?! We only got to the 4th round but didn’t make it to the 4th block to stack on the 150 LBC’s and moseyed back to the launch. I took a moment to talk about Zach Tellier and what this WOD means to me. HIM’s like Zach Tellier paid the ultimate price so guys like us can be out here in the gloom giving it away. #acceleration #taketheredpill #giveitaway

It was my first #2ndct since being back from atx and my first ever coupon Q. There was some light rain and the Gorrila Complex was NOOOOO joke. It’s reminded me a lot of the Fitness Test even though it was much different. It’s been too long, and I know I’ve not done this bb completely correct. It was an all-around great beat down! #acceleration

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC thanked the PAX for joining him on his 41st birthday and expressed his gratitude for the positive influence and acceleration F3 is bringing to his life. Spoke about the mini-tribute to Kobe Bryant – K(nerkins) and B(B Situp) for KB and 8 and 24 reps for Kobe’s jersey numbers. KB’s fearless and relentless pursuit of excellence is an inspiration for YHC.

MOLESKIN:
Coach K and Special Sauce have the misfortune of living west of 75 and had to deal with traffic caused by a bad traffic accident. Thanks for sticking through the traffic and posting anyway gents! Better late than never.

At YHC’s house, his M and dog were out front to greet the PAX mid-workout with a message written in  chalk on the sidewalk. The PAX then impressed with great form on burpees in the street. Oatmeal circumsacked, but YHC tried texting him mid-workout to come outside of his house to meet the PAX for some burpees.  Unfortunately his phone was off, so we did the burpees in his front yard without him.

Knerkins in the middle of the street was not popular with the PAX working out sans-gloves. Sorry guys, think of it as enhancing your Toughness (Mental)…or would it be Toughness (Physical)? I’m not sure.

Tietze is a good AO except for the fact that it is sort of buried in the middle of the neighborhood, making it a bit inconvenient for those coming from Lake Highlands or west of 75. AlrightAlright counted 15 stop lights coming from his house, apparently.

Petrified asked to be named Mahogany, but as a #TripleRespect from California Petrified made more sense.

Smuckers is a Petroleum Engineer.

Lots of complaints throughout, so it must have been tough enough. 

Some clamored for Stairway when we began the Bear Crawl suicides.  Unfortunately, we didn’t have a speaker and YHC wasn’t going to let the PAX quit after only 8 minutes and 2 seconds.
