What is Teasip Spelling?

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Alright Alright, Aaarrrggghhh, Ina, Oatmeal, Special Sauce
QIC: Teasip

AO: Katy Trail #katytrailthursday
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x20, IST  x15, Hillbilly x15

THA THANG:
Mosey to the Trail for quarter mile intervals with the below exercises

OH Claps
LBC
Derkins

Irkins
Step Ups

Dips
Outlaws
Personal Burpees
E2K

Imperial Squat Walkers
Rugby Sit Ups
Carolina Dry Docks

MARY:
Rosalita
Freddie Mercury

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed the PAX out, including praying for our F3 brother Nomad

MOLESKIN:
YHC rolled into the parking lot at 0515 and was still undecided on whether to hit the Trail or maybe head over to the Bridge. Oatmeal showed up a few minutes later and, after some discussion on the auditor-client relationship and hostility, mentioned the betrayal Aaarrrggghhh had felt the previous Thursday when the PAX didn’t go to the Trail, so YHC decided if Aaarrrggghhh posted, the destination would be the Trail. Aaarrrggghhh did show up, so we moseyed over to the Trail for the beatdown.

YHC had some exercises in mind, but Special Sauce quickly wondered aloud what YHC was spelling when the first exercises was OH Claps, so YHC came up with the exercises for the rest of OLD IS DOPE (The first four were already planned, just had to switch the D and I).

The E2K was apparently a new exercise to Aaarrggghhh, as he was unsure of what to do and YHC didn’t demonstrate since it had been many times over the past four years. YHC will send the Exicon to Aaarrrggghhh and wonders if YHC needs to demonstrate a Merkin or a Plank Jack to Aaarrrggghhh next time. 

The last 1/4 was a backwards run which was probably not the smartest move given that is a high traffic area, but thankfully no collisions or injuries occurred. YHC will be sure to do that at a different quarter next time.

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.

P1: Bear crawl from where P2 was tagged and continue until relieved by P2.

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

Blockees x10

Lunges x10 DC

Overhead Press x10

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.

Ring the Bell, School’s In – 9/24/20

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Isiah, B cup, Gambler, Sweep (FNG)
QIC: Oatmeal

AO: La Madeleine
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

Windmill x 15 IC

THA THANG:

Billy Madison workout – From the Exicon: Inspired by Billy Madison’s journey through back through school, this routine involves a running loop and exercise per grade.  For best effects, perform routine on school grounds. Begin with a loop (ideally single-file line leader style) to simulate the grade, followed by an exercise with 12 reps as the exam.  This concludes 1st grade.  Run the loop again, followed by the 1st grade exercise x 12 reps plus a new exercise x 12 reps.  This concludes 2nd grade. Continue with the loop and adding an exercise each time until you’ve completed one loop and exercise combo for each of the 12 grades. 

Exercises were as follows with a lap around the stadium after each round:

Bonnie Blairs

Irkins

LBC’s

Lunges

Yeah Thrusts

Merkins (time ran short at this point so YHC called a jail break back to La Mad)

A…

Had a few minutes when we got back to the parking lot so we did some Homer to Marge and then 6” hold until time

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out

MOLESKIN:
YHC had two workouts in mind for the gloom and decided on Billy Madison when Gambler introduced his FNG since it would be a more social/keep us together.  The running exercise combo got to the PAX and there was very little mumblechatter from the get go.  YHC recorded just over four miles and kudos to B Cup and Sweep for making it through a tough workout.  However, YHC determined us to be remedial students since we only made it through the sixth grade, but I was quickly reminded by PAX that the lap was in excess of a normal quarter mile.  So maybe we are just extremely thorough students.  Goal would be to continue training and see how much we can improve.

Another round of coffee? 9/23/20

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Aaarrrggghhh, Sound Machine, Slushii, DFib
QIC: Oatmeal

AO: Coffee Park
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 15 IC

IST x15 IC

Kim Jung Ils x10 IC

THA THANG:

Modified four corners starting at playground and working around the park counterclockwise x 5 rounds increasing reps by original number each lap:

  • 5 pull ups bear crawl to large tree in NE corner
  • 10 squats; run to bleachers in NW corner
  • 5 derkins; backward run to SW corner
  • 10 Russian twists; sprint back to SE corner playground equipment

Omaha after 4 rounds to get in some TCB suicides starting at the far north end of Turtle Creek Blvd:

  • Start with a T merkin x1
  • Run to alley
  • Carolina dry dock x1
  • Bear crawl back to start; complete T merkin x1
  • Sprint to Villanova
  • Burpee x1
  • Sprint back to start

Repeato adding one rep (Omaha run for bear crawl in rd 2)

Mosey back to playground to finish

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out, and then talked a bit about opening up and being vulnerable with the PAX.  This is a key tenet of F3.  It also allowed YHC to plug, once again, the necessity of Shield Lock groups, but also open up about struggles at home with kids and general family life during Covid.    

MOLESKIN:
Random mumblechatter throughout workout especially during bear crawls.  YHC and Aaarrggghhh attempted to EH a park patron after a round of derkins but neither of us had a card so YHC pulled some out of the car during the next sprint.  Pullups are definitely a weak spot for most PAX since the beginning of Covid so it was nice to get in some quality lat work.

Free Therapy with MRM

Oatmeal joined YHC and Maverick for MRM

Went at a 16:07 pace, would’ve broken 16 min but dodged some cars that slowed us down

Thankful for some company this AM! Thought I’d be solo trying to compete against a Special Sauce Q

Oatmeal was kind enough to let me have a free therapy session, coversation wide ranging and many of the world’s problems have been solved. You’re welcome!

A Return to KTT – 9/10/20

WARM-O-RAMA:

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!

MOLESKIN:
Not a lot of mumblechatter that YHC could hear, though he was right next to the speaker that was blaring different fight songs for different schools. Oatmeal asked DFib to sing Boomer Sooner, but Dfib declined. Splash correctly identified several fight songs. May have to do a contest at some point.

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)
