CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

MOLESKIN:
YHC wanted to continue #makingsecondchoicefirstchoice and decided to keep it simple and fun today. What’s more fun than some old school basketball pick-up games!?! Other than Rump Roast I think all enjoyed the 12min of cardio. Rump Roast stated “he would rather do burpees than play basketball”. YHC will keep that in mind next time. Big Tex stated during DORA that his key was lost. A quick scramble was made to find the key but he decided to push on with the workout instead. We all found out that Bleep is a beast from the elbow, Broadway Joe kept DFib on his toes during the game of 21, Sound Machine is far quicker and nimble on the court than he looks, and DFib hates deflated balls. I guess DFib and Tom Brady have differing opinions on how they like their balls. We spent the last couple of minutes retracing our NA run and route to DORA. YHC found the key where Big Tex was standing during warmups. 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. TRAIN FOR CSAUP
2. Be on the lookout for 2ndF event coming up soon (also F3 Golf)

Happy 6th F3 Birthday Plus One and Glencoe

PAX: Big Tex, Bleep, Classified, Oatmeal, Rump Roast, Slushii
QIC: Alright Alright, Plus One

8 PAX posted this morning and 6 were surprised and perhaps disappointed to find out that Teasip had delegated this morning’s Q to Your Humble Correspondent and Plus One. Conveniently, this week is the sixth anniversary of Plus One’s first F3 workout and the first F3 workout at Glencoe Park. We decided that we would throw it back (sort of) to the theme from that day six years ago…

YHC led the PAX to the football field for Warmorama…
Side Straddle Hops x15
Upright Rows x6
Curls x6
Kraken Burpees x6
During the Kraken Burpees, Classified made a comment about my loss in the Q of the Year Quarterfinals …. and I took that personally (insert MJ meme)… so I scrapped the original plans and decided to punish the PAX.

Fast mosey to The Bridge with #burpeerule in effect.
17 Burpee Penalty.
12 Jumping Spiders OYO, run across The Bridge. 12 Burpee Penalty.
12 Freddie Mercury’s IC, run across The Bridge, 12 Burpee Penalty.
12 Merkins Single Count, run across The Bridge, 6 Burpee Penalty to be made up later.
Run Back to Glencoe Park and our Coupons. (We were supposed to complete American Hammers, Monkey Humpers and Jump Squats, but ran out of time)

Plus One took the reins from there.
Rifle Carry 50 yards
31 Curls
7 Merkins
Murder Bunny 50 yards
31 Overhead Presses
8 Merkins
Rifle Carry 50 yards
30 Curls
9 Merkins
Lunge Walk 50 yards
31 Curls 10 Merkins
30 LBCs
11 Penguin Crunches
12 something else…

6 Penalty Burpees

Only 8 men in attendance today with lots out of town and lots exposed to COVID. Keep checking on each other. And keep working out OYO if you have to. You don’t want to just take a week or two off. You will feel the pain.

YHC was a bit worried when we pulled into Germany Park. Bleep said “it might just be me and you today Slushii”. We saw a guy wandering around looking like he was looking for someone. We got out of the car and Cougar Bait immediately said “are you guys with F3?”. Was excited to have another PAX join the #westside crew this morning since all of our fellow #westsiders decided not to show up.

MARY:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Thankful for the men this morning, seeing the #KTT guys for a post workout 5min beatdown, and for bringing Pokey (Alex) to our group

MOLESKIN:
Bleep started off the workout with calling out IST and doing a SSH. Atypical westside warmup only doing 2 warmup exercises. Lots of F bombs dropped by Rump Roast during out running….a bit more than usual. Bleep had promised a 750cal workout and according to the highly sophisticated Apple iWatch I got 684cal. Pretty good beatdown for #secondchoice. Per norm – 2nd choice brought out more PAX than KTT. As we made our way back to the park from the garage (6:16am) I looked over and saw some runners I recognized heading out way. Alright Alright, Oatmeal, and Pepper joined in for a 5min quick circuit before their run back to the launching point for KTT. Sound Machine gave them a good #westsidecropdust and sent them on their way. Merry Christmas Eve men! 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. F3 golf

YHC has been getting shade all week from Oatmeal about our slow start last Thursday and wondering if we were just going to mosey to Starbucks today and make it an F2 event – Hence today’s theme. The post beat-down Coffeeteria turned into a 30 minute F2 event with 7 of the PAX not only welcoming Big Tex as an official Westsider #westside but also intently listening to sound machine impart his wisdom to the PAX. Lot’s of fun today and the camaraderie is very strong in this group. Thanks men for the hard effort today!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
F2 Event Sunday at 1pm Glencoe Park – wear your gear!; PowPow’s F3 food drive – get Germany AO credit; Potential NYD at midnight Ruck.

Turkey Hunting for T-day

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Alright Alright, Bleep, Classified, Gambler, Icebox, Oatmeal, Rump Roast, Slushii, Sound Machine, Special Sauce 
QIC: Teasip

AO: Glencoe #glencoefasho
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x20, IST x20, Vegetable Picker x10

THA THANG:
Mosey to the field to start the Thanksgiving festivities. Had to start by finding and killing a turkey.

Searched for turkey tracks with Lieutenant Dans out to midfield, then reverse Lieutenant Dans back. Didn’t find much, so Bear Crawled out to get closer to the ground, and Crawl Beared back. Unfortunately, we ran into a BIG OL BEAR and had to sprint the full football field, then sprint back to escape.

Finally found a turkey, so did a turkey hunt: Partner 1 squat walks with coupon while Partner 2 does 10 curls (to get the guns ready), then run and chase Partner 1. Flapjack when Partner 2 catches Partner 1. Go to midfield and back. 

We had to next “murder” the turkey, so did murder turkeys/bunnies to midfield, then did “Annies” to season the turkey and Ring of Fire to start the heat and cook the turkey.

Next, we got to work on the sides/dessert. Partner up and do the following exercises (Partner 2 runs to midfield and back while Partner 1 does the exercises, then flapjack):

Man Mashed Potato Maker – 30
Stuffing Squat Thrusters – 30
Grip, Rip and Rolls – 30
Gobble Gobble Goblet Squats – 30
Pie Plank Jacks – 30

We had to go back for seconds as well (5 reps of each exercise).

MARY:
None/done during the workout

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We all went around and expressed what we are thankful for, as well as prayer requests.

MOLESKIN:
Several PAX come wheeling into the parking lot at 0529, and Gambler even showed up a little late. More talk about the flatulence from the West Siders the day before. Rump let out a couple bombs even though the running was minimal and he destroyed everyone except Sauce on the first sprint away from the BIG OL BEAR (#tclaps to Alright Alright and Classified for being the only P1s in attendance). A fun workout with lots of groans throughout, so YHC will definitely be bringing this workout back in the future.

MOLESKIN:
YHC had twice the workout planned but didn’t know the DORA would take so much time. Keeping the PAX all on the tennis courts led to some great #mumblechatter . After Bleep and Rump Roast stopped harassing each other there were some good one-liners that were picked up. There was some talk about Bleep telling AlrightAlright he didn’t want to hear his $h;! which always makes for a good laugh. Rump Roast said to Bleep while running figure 8’s – “the corners are square Bleep , not round” – which made YHC laugh pretty hard. Quite a few barking spider turbo boosters coming from a few PAX. Our newest west side PAX has a pet monkey. After the workout the PAX agreed sound machine was in a negotiation with @bubbles to procure.

1. F3 Golf – always

MOLESKIN:
Yesterday YHC made mentions of the inclement weather situation we were going to face this morning. Much to my surprise there was no rain but was still cold and wet. The conditions remind YHC of what I expect on every duck hunt. A typical duck hunting saying for inclement weather is “misery brings company”. YHC was hoping this rang true with the PAX this morning. Turnout was 11 for this non ideal weather day. The playlist consisted of a 10 nostalgic songs YHC has enjoyed over the years with a few sprinkled in to pay homage for Alright Alright (The Outfield and Akon). In true wannabe DJ Icebox fashion YHC picked songs from different genre’s – more of a Now 2001-2010 edition.

MOLESKIN:
YHC was glad to be back with F3 Dallas. There was more than average running today to make our #eastside brothers appreciative. I learned  two things this morning – 1. Sound Machine has a side we don’t see enough and can literally give you stitches from laughing so hard 2. Bleep has the coordination of a giraffe (wait until you see his flutter squats).  Great time seemed to be had by all this morning. Thankful for the Sound Machine boom box. I think it should be a must at every workout.

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.
