COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Icebox, Stingray, Swiper, Isaiah, AlrightAlright
QIC: PowPow

AO: The Harbor
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSHx15 // ISTx10 // Windmillx10 // Seal Jacksx10

Mosey to handball court – loop around court: side shuffle to the right along sideline, duck walk endline, side shuffle to left along other sideline, duck walk endline. Repeato.

Mosey to handrail – Australian pull-ups (inverted rows) x6 DC

THA THANG:
Jacobs ladder on hill between lower parking lot and splash pad: Start with 10 Merkins at the bottom – run up hill – 1 Gorilla Squat – run down hill – 9 Merkins. Etc. Totals: 55 Merkins and Gorilla Squats

Partner up at playground: P1 perform 5 pull-ups and 10 Carolina Dry Docks while P2 does AMRAP of an ab exercise. Then flapjack and repeato until both  partners complete 5 sets of pull-ups & CDDs.  YHC called the ab exercises – Freddie Mercury then Sweat Angels then LBCs

Mosey a 1.2 mile loop from the NW corner of the park north past the stadium to the NW corner of the high school property then east on Lake Highlands Trail, then south on Royal Highlands Dr and west on Church Rd.  Stopping for four Circles of Pain: (1) OH Clapsx15  (2) Squats x15(3) Mtn Climbersx15 and (4) Crab Cakesx15

MARY:
Finish with a Circle Burp at the Shovel Flag – 3 rounds

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC asked each PAX to share something they are grateful for. Themes were family, the PAX of F3 Dallas and the nice weather.

MOLESKIN:
Stingray rolled up looking rather sleepy at 5:28am. Mummblechatter included discussions of appropriate attire for the cooler temps, did Isaiah wear pants because PowPow’s preblast said it would be in the 40s? Also, height/long limbs being a disadvantage in F3 workouts. AlrightAlright’s claim that from an economics point of view the marginal cost of voting is greater than the marginal benefit and YHC offering up why voters in the DFW Metroplex have some of the highest “voter power” in the country (there are many very close/competitive Texas state house races in DFW and these races may determine which party controls the Texas legislature).

Thanks for the support today men, I had a blast leading this morning.

—- GO VOTE!!! ——

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Need a location for the Blood Drive

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Classified, Alright Alright, Rump Roast, Bleep, DFib, Teasip, F150, Sex Panther, Aaarrrggghhh, Sound Machine, PowPow
QIC: Oatmeal

AO: Glencoe Park
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 15 IC

Kim Jung Ils x10 IC

Windmills x 10 IC

THA THANG:

Partner up with someone of “complementary skill” and line up with goal post on field.

P1: Carry coupon to 50 yd line and perform exercise, then make a lap of the field

P2: Bear crawl length of field until tagged by running P1

 P2: Carry block from 50 to opposite goal post and perform exercise, then make a lap of the field.

 Continue sequence flip-flopping bear crawls and crab walks through the following 5 evercises:

Squats x 10

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
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.

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!

A Return to KTT – 9/10/20

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: AlrightAlright, Special Sauce, Chairman Mao, DFib
QIC: Oatmeal

AO: La Madeleine
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 15 IC

Hillbillies x15 IC

Mountain Climbers x10 IC

THA THANG:

Mosey to KTT for some timed ¼ BOMBS.  Caveat was that the average time for the 12 and the 6 had to under YHC’s declared time or 3x penalty Groiners for each second that we missed time.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out.

MOLESKIN:
It had been a minute since we (I) had been on the Trail so I stuck with an oldie but goodie workout but added the time limits to which there was much chatter.  With the first ¼ limit set at 88 seconds, the PAX made time but times generally went up from there.  We missed on three ¼’s to which YHC issued penalty Groiners, however, we ran late on the return trip up the trail given YHC pushed for an extra ½ mile and two of the penalty sets were combined and performed in the parking lot when we returned.  A total of 39 penalty Groiners were assessed, but that was only because YHC allowed democracy to rule (and a fear of DFib having a coronary) when setting time limits.  A couple of IR’s were thrown in to give the PAX a blow.  Overall a good workout was had by all and DFeb made it back safe and healthy, even thanking YHC for the push!

MRM is Back!

#backblast

AlrightAlright and Plus One joined YHC and Maverick for this AM’s ruck. Temp was awesome, company even better.

Topics of conversation covered who’d you want to see 5 days in a row, Pepper was high on the list, but I’d love to see anyone 5 days in a row these days…Iron PAX cheaters and the shoulder/quad obsessed Greenwood PAX…who would be on the F3 Dallas All-Star Ruck team (where were you this AM F150??)…the meeting Oatmeal and I need to have with the M’s so we can make show up on the same day and make the Lindsley Park AO a reality

Good pace today, 15:21, motivated by not wanting to be lapped by PowPow

MRM is back, look forward to the coming weeks!

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Alright Alright, F150, Plus One, Classified, Jazzercise, 
QIC: Isaiah

AO: The Harbor
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: YHC welcomed the PAX and provided the disclaimer.

WARM-O-RAMA:
Run to a random field from our meeting spot

THA THANG:

Mosey to our American Flag, 10 merkins, 10 Floor Wipers (many people liked this one), 10 merkins, 10 reverse crunches, 10 merkins, 10 “scrambles” is what I call them some others may call it a “Makhtar Diayes”

Mosey back to random field – 10 Merkins, 10 penguin crunches, 10 Merkins, 10 reverse crunches, 10 floor wipers, 25 Jumping Jacks, 25 imperial storm troopers, 

Mosey back to American Flag, 10 merkins, 10 penguin crunches, 10 merkins, 10 floor wipers, 10 merkins

 

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Asked the Lord for us to be free from any anxiety or barrier that we are facing or will face for the day.  Thanked God for every man in this Pax to have a great day.

MOLESKIN:
Alright Alright started off with stating how much he thinks the Q should get the Pax to run in the beginning and be away from the meeting spot.  I didn’t have a strong opinion about it and he kept talking so just decided for us to all start running.  We chatted about how YHC dodged a car from the previous workout and how we are glad there are not any cars by to be a threat to our lives.  Found Alright Alright’s coupon that was left behind from the workout Wednesday because it was covered in ants.  He did return later that day to pick up his coupon, thankful no one had a desire to take that random block in a field.   During the workout YHC has some fun commentary about dips “when I dip you dip I dip”  “OYO and saying Go – yo”and my struggle to say Makhtar Diayes so making the impromptu decision to name it the scramble.  Feel free to call it the scramble in your workouts as well.

MOLESKIN:
With Brooks not showing up on Sunday, YHC decided to go heavy on the running. YHC was originally going to do the Suicide Special, but decided to modify it with coupons and football field. Special Sauce and a few others were curious if we were going to repeat the Bill Murray Caddyshak/Groundhog Day workout, but quickly found that was not the case. Rump was none to pleased and let YHC know it early and often. Overall a solid turnout and YHC was happy to have so many post in the Gloom.
