Doomsday Clock 2021

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Ultra, Nicky Roth, Rump Roast, Jobu, Big Tex, Whoops, Sound Machine, Sally, Agnes, Nate Hartman (FNG/Boggle), Isaiah, Pow Pow, Siesta, Bleep, Ina, Dirtbag, Draper, Avril, Special Sauce, Ant Man, Classified
QIC: Oatmeal

AO: Burleson Park

F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
IST x15 IC

SSH x 20 IC

Windmill x 10 IC

1 penalty burpee for Ant Man’s tardiness

THA THANG:

Mosey to Quad for the Doomsday Clock for approximately 40 minutes:

Making use of the 12 spokes (sidewalks) out from the fountain, YHC had PAX perform the following rotating around each spoke like clockwork. 

  1. 10 Pam Andersons (burpee nippler)
  2. 20 Squats
  3. 30 V Ups
  4. 40 Merkins
  5. 50 Rugby Situps
  6. 60 Gorilla Squats
  7. 70 Mountain Climbers (x2)
  8. 80 Lunges (x1)
  9. 90 OH Presses
  10. 100 Plank Jacks
  11. 110 OH Claps
  12. 120 LBC’s

Following each set of exercises, PAX ran the length of spoke, performed burpees x station number (total of 78 burpees) and ran back to fountain (hub) to start next station.  An exception was made following gorilla squats and OH presses, where PAX bear crawled the length of the spoke and back.  

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out.  YHC challenged the PAX to seek the input of each of their M’s about F3.  There has been a theme lately from several of us whose M’s have not held F3 in the highest regard for various reasons, which means that we and much more, I, have failed to properly bring back the tenets of the life-changing organization back to my home.  I challenged the PAX to bring back the feedback and vowed to create more 2F events that include the M’s and 2.0’s as we begin to emerge from Covid prison.  

MOLESKIN:

YHC had the thought to roll this oldie out after not having completed it in over a year.  Many new PAX that had not felt the burn of the Doomsday Clock so why not!  PAX were spread around the circle and YHC heard several conversations (this tells me there is much more effort to be put forth if one can carry on a park walk chat).  YHC received several complaints and groans, but only one emphatic “FU” from Rump so I will assume that he is getting stronger and the workout isn’t a cake walk since it seemed to gas most everybody else.  TClaps to Classified and Special Sauce.  Classified kept a weight vest on the entire time.  This workout sucks without added weight.  Sauce brought a speaker and playlist with minimal notice.

Luckily(?) for the PAX YHC and Dirtbag had talked about splitting up the Q last night so when Dirtbag KO’d himself during the EC run (possible delayed victim of murder bunny’ing up The Hill at Lindsley?) YHC was kinda sorta prepared.

Mumblechatter picked up in the second half when there was a lot less counting and we rocked out to SirusXM’s top 500 hip hop songs, I think we heard 478-465. Teasip went 2 for the first 10 on knowing the artist

I posed the question of what would happen if Rump Roast tried to use a speaker, interval timer, and dice during a workout and the consensus was that his head would explode

Thanks to the PAX for putting up with a half baked Q on a cold and wet day!

Morning started off cold but warmed up fast with the Native American run, which YHC was quickly reminded this isn’t KTT by other PAX (we may have run a mile today). YHC woke up at 3:00 AM and couldn’t fall back asleep so the ideas were flowing to get a little bit of cardio and some good coupon work in. Felt good to do Murder Bunnies again, but probably won’t feel good later.

YHC was glad to have a Co-Q today after last nights 2nd F event. First time I have been to a bar in a very long time. Before I knew it 11pm had come and I was wayyyy over my bedtime. Great time at the event though – thanks Chairman Mao for setting it up! Oatmeal joined us as the solo #KTT participant for our workout and the ran back to the launch spot for #KTT. Enjoyed the push and motivation this morning from the PAX. sound machine had a #micdrop moment at the end of time but YHC can’t remember exactly what was said – need fellow PAX memory.

Thanksgiving Day Gobble Party

PAX: Ant Man, Big Tex, Ina, Pepper, Teasip
QIC: Alright Alright
AO: Burleson Park
Weather: 43 Degrees (Ina called it hot after his 3 mile extra credit run in – he was also in short sleeves)

Warmorama: mosey to Quad
Side Straddle Hops x20
Hillbilly x10
Imperial Storm Troopers x10
T-Merkins x10
(get it?)

Tha Thang: Partner up. Partner 1: exercise. Partner 2: run around fountain and back.
GOBBLE
Groiners x50
Overhead Claps x100
Bonnie Blairs x150 (double count) #crowdpleaser
Burpees x200 #eternalcrowdpleaser
Little Baby Crunches x250
E2K x300

We finished gobbling at 7:49 and moseyed back to Burleson Park leaving us enough time for…

Crabway to Heaven. Unfortunately, YHC had promised Pepper that we wouldn’t do any bear crawls, so we got to try something new. All of the PAX crushed it. Teasip and YHC were both able to finish before the song ended. Teasip finishing was more impressive as he had to deal with Pepper’s friendly crop dusting. Some might call that karma….

Moleskin:
200 burpees after 150 Bonnie Blairs is really horrible.

Crabway to Heaven wasn’t as bad as I thought initially, but once you hit the second court it gets terrible.

#tclaps to these dudes for getting up and getting after it on Thanksgiving. And extra #tclaps to Ina for his extra credit run before the workout.

On the COVID front… YHC assigned each PAX their own square at least six feet apart from one another (probably more like 8-10 feet) in which to do their exercises.

I’m incredibly thankful for all of you. Sunday will be the sixth anniversary of my move to Dallas, and I don’t know where I’d be without this brotherhood.

#backday with PowPow

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Chairman Mao, Ant Man, Coach K, Draper, Siesta, Blistex (Willy Loman from Kansas City), Dem Apples (FNG Miguel)
QIC: PowPow

AO: Burleson Park (Sorority Row)
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 20 (DC, IC), IST x 15 (DC, IC), Veggie Picker x 10 (IC), Baby Arm Circles Forward and Back x 20 each direction (DC, IC)

Mosey lap around east side of park then onto the tennis courts

Mosey small loop around tennis court after every station. Repeato until 4 rounds total are completed.

MARY:
PAX choice: LBCs (YHC), Flutters (Blistex), Penguin Crunch (Chairman Mao), WWI Situp/Dying Cockroach Hybrid (Siesta), Crab Cakes (YHC). PAX took turns doing 1 arm rows on the resistance bands during Mary to get a few extra reps in for #backday.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The group bestowed the FNG Miguel with the name Dem Apples. Chairman requests that we keep those in China who are facing the Coronavirus outbreak in our thoughts and prayers.

MOLESKIN:
Chairman showed up at his usual time. On the tennis courts Coach K pointed out that YHC sold the workout as “backday” and we worked shoulders yesterday with Alright Alright, but then YHC started out with Bear Crawls and Wheel Barrows.  FAIR POINT. But that was really just an extended warmup.

Blistex was in town for his 2.0’s soccer tournament in Frisco, little did he know he could have joined the Plano relaunch today and saved some driving time, but YHC and all the PAX were stoked that he came out to Burleson.

Sticking together with the 4 man group throughout the circuit made for some great Mummblechatter, our group covered Coach K trying out for the Bachelor, Ant Man and Draper’s soccer exploits, 90 Day Fiancee, among others.

Siesta got a small taste of Qing by counting cadence for the Mary exercise that he called. Good to see and looking forward to more of that from him.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Run Ranger Run – Sign up now to be ready for February 1.
2. Q Source (F3 leadership manual) meetings continue, we are back at the beginning of the curriculum again. Fridays at lunchtime. Reach out if you are interested.

Games with Icebox

Siesta Oatmeal Ant Man Teasip Special Sauce Rump Roast Coach K Toto, AlrightAlright and Draper joined YHC for what Draper is starting to dub “Games with Icebox”

After a quick, PAX guided disclaimer, we warmed up and ran out to the Mustang garage

The thang:

Partnered up and P1 ran a mustang lap (first lap included the merkins and LBC’s but Omaha’d after that to be just the lap to get more cardio in) while P2 did ring of fire until P1 returned

Ring of Fire was set up with 20 stations and we spent 30 seconds at each one before rotating. Rump Roast threw away my cards so here’s my best guess of what they were:

Apollo Creed Burpees
Plank
J Lo’s
Lil Baby Arm Circles
Overhead Press (with 25 lb free weights, thanks Special Sauce)
Jump Rope
Workout dice 1
Workout dice 2
Freddy Mercury’s
SSH’s
IST’s
WWI sit ups
And some others

Decent mumble chatter since no one had to count out anything, AlrightAlright is pretty proud of how far he’s come on jumping rope proving that if you keep doing what you’re not good at you’ll improve, except me bear crawling, I still suck big time at those

A healthy debate towards the end about the route of the mustang with Coach K concerned that some PAX were taking alternate routes so we did a AlrightAlright guided fun run of the lap at the end before mosey’ing to the park for COT

Announcements: Plano is this coming Saturday, get all your wildling friends out there
Cole Park again tomorrow for the late brunch crowd, 0615
