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.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

  • Carry the Load Memorial Day ruck – details will be forthcoming

The Weatherman – 10/16/20

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:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Thank you to each PAX that came out. You exemplify what it is to be a father and leader for your children. Big thank you to Mrs. Rump Roast for the pictures and note taking of names!

MOLESKIN:
Where to even start here. YHC was looking forward to this day for many weeks. YHC children had been begging to go “workout” and was constant reminded by them that the day was almost near. Lots of laughter and smiles were shared today in what almost seemed like “normal” PRE-COVID day. YHC was very surprised to see how many people could fit in Burleson Park – it was packed! Very different than the park at 0530. Great time seemed to be had by all. Lots of good names for the 2.0’s which they enjoyed. Looking forward to another 2.0 workout soon. YHC will get this posted on the website when I get the rest of the pictures from the 2.0 workout.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

#backblast Burleson 8/22. Siesta VQ

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:

PAX: Isaiah, Island Time, Shifty McCoy, Rump Roast, Chairman Mao, Oatmeal, sound machine, Draper, PowPow, Plus One, Fluoride, Whoops, Classified, DFib

AO: Burleson

F3 WELCOME AND DISCLAIMER: given

WARM-O-RAMA:

SSH x 17 IC

IST x 17 IC

Windmill x 10 IC

Indian run across the park (2 full laps)

THA THANG:

16 burpees (the goal was to complete 46 overall, but some things got in my way)

Mosey to the track field (supposedly it was opened)

Stop to grab some benches on our way there for 46 reps overall:

16 box jumps

15 side lunges (left leg)

15 side lunges (right leg)

F3 relays

Once we got to the track filed it was closed –> crap!! :-(. But siesta got a plan B, doing the same F3 relays on the quad. 

The idea was to make teams of 3/4 PAX, spread out evenly around the track at four stations, each station with an assigned exercise, then run between stations as in a relay race. After some confusion, Chairman Mao and Oatmeal step up to clarify directions and we were able to complete 2 full laps.

Station 1 – Monkey Humpers (nobody seemed to like those)

Station 2 – Merkins

Station 3 – Carolina Dry Docks

Station 4 – Overhead Claps

Hopefully, this idea will work better when the track field is opened back.

Mosey back to the playground with a stop for:

8 Durkins

16 deeps

Mary

16 Rosalita

No time for more, but at least I had time for some bilingual counting.

We still owe 30 burpees, that will be done on my next Q (first F3 anniversary, followed by a beer salute this time)

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.
