CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Before the workout, YHC spoke about the purpose behind the PAX performing, as a team, the Chad 1000X WOD. Chad Wilkinson was a US Navy Seal who served his country for 21 years and who took his own life in 2018 due to the effects of traumatic brain injuries, blast wave injuries and PTSD; all suffered due to his numerous combat deployments. His friend and fellow Navy Seal, Dave Castro, created this Hero WOD to honor Chad upon hearing that he trained to climb Mt. Aconcaqua with this workout: For time – 1000 x 20″ box step ups w/ 45 pound ruck.

Veterans Day is a day to honor our veterans and thank them for their service.  GORUCK partnered with the Navy Seal Foundation to promote the Chad 1000X for Veterans Day to  honor Chad’s life and legacy and to raise funds and awareness for suicide prevention. We contributed to this mission in a small way through our participation today. For more information visit: https://www.goruck.com/pages/chad-1000x

YHC prayed us out with the Peace Prayer (or Prayer of St. Francis).

MOLESKIN:
Each PAX completed 200 step ups during the workout, for a team total of 1,200. Getting to 1,000 individually would be quite a beatdown and very CSAUP-y, we should definitely try it sometime! Oatmeal demonstrated excellent leadership by example by picking up litter around the park during our moseys.

Not much mumblechatter, Draper joked that the Chicken Peckers (look it up in the Exicon) should only be done with Fluoride around….pretty good advice actually.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Turkey Trot coming up on 11/21

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!

Murph Alert!

#backblast #murphaltert!

Sex Panther F150 Slushii Bleep Island Time Classified Jazzercise Rump Roast Shifty McCoy joined YHC for some Second Choice Thursday action

To prepare for this AM YHC asked Rump Roast last night what he wanted to work on and he said he was looking for a leg day. YHC thought hard about that and thought that a modified Murph would be able to get the job done

Warm Up
SSH, ISTs, Daisy Pickers

The Thang
4 laps around Burleson Park (a little debate about that being further than a mile, which it probably is, but it was my Q so thats what we did)

100 lunges (double count)
200 merkins
300 squats

4 laps around the park

maybe it was the debate on distance, maybe it was the long warmup, maybe it was because 2 lunges take longer to complete than 1 pullup, maybe it was because 4 laps was really was longer than a mile, but no PAX completed the modified Murph

I let Rump pick the first 30 minutes of music (rap, because what else does Rump listen to?) but after a song with particularly explicit lyrics I switched it up to Beach Music (aka a shitty version of Motown) for the last 15, was a huge motivator for me to finish reps and get back to running.

thankful to be back at it with y’all!

Announcements: Q Source and meats today at 1230 at the Meat Shop
Possible 2nd F tomorrow at Oatmeals
F3 Golf 10/3 or 10/10, best to block both days with the M so you can play twice in a month (or am I the only one who has to do that?)

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.

A simple invite is all it takes to get men out. Don’t let that little voice deter you extending an invitation.

Great job today men and looking forward to where we are headed!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
During Name-O-Rama Alright Alright went around the circle handing out F3 Dallas business cards to every PAX. YHC explained that we started the workout by spelling out “MISSION” and then recited F3’s mission out loud for the PAX. The business cards are about EHing other men and EHing is essential to the MISSION. F3 is unique because of the five core principles, we’ve got something that ALL men need, but most men don’t have in their lives. YHC prayed us out by reciting the five core principles and exhorting each PAX to go out and #GiveItAway.

MOLESKIN:
Slushii, Bleep and Pepper gave the HC but were nowhere to be found at 0530 . Yeah, I am calling you out in the backblast, sorry!  While Sex Panther, crafty as he is, dropped the lowest risk HC ever – he HCed on Band 20 minutes before the workout started, presumably while driving to the AO.

Slushii actually showed up! He was just 15 minutes late. We were not hard to find and glad you made it out brother, better late than never! Rump Roast offered up a moderate amount of his “signature feedback”, no F-bombs that I recall, maybe a “PowPow you suck” or two. YHC’s first attempt to demonstrate form on the SLDs was a fail, completely rounded back.  Alright Alright helpfully corrected Draper’s form by shouting at the Q, “Draper’s doing it like a Claymaker, is that right?” Man, lunge-walking with a coupon is tough! There will be more of that in YHCs future Qs.

Great to see Sex Panther back in the gloom after a few weeks off in California. Alright Alright wore a weight vest with 8 lbs, getting ready for GrowRuck (Tclaps!), and this momentarily took him into full beast mode – he rage-smashed his coupon on the ground after the 2nd round of lunge walks.  Fortunately, YHC brought a spare and so Alright Alright did not go miss anything during Mary.
