Bear crawl court one, 10 merkins
Crawl bear back, 10 mountain climbers
5 burpees, run down and back, 5 burpees
Mrs Icebox Arms – 2 min
Suicide short to long, long to short
Crab walk forward court one, 10 Freddy Mercury’s
Crab walk backward back, 10 flutter kicks
Pilate Plank Routine – 2 min
If there was mumble chatter I didn’t hear much of it as the socially distant lineup along the tennis courts didn’t allow for a lot of interaction among the PAX
Stingray fulfilled his prophecy of showing up late and having to do penalty burpees and t claps to Rump Roast for doing them with him when no one else did
AlrightAlright figured that the Beatdown was going to be mild and decided to wear his ruck vest during the whole thing, and on top of that called out the PAX on the crab walks for being slow (someone is still getting over his #upsetalert vs Teasip last week).
Apologies for needing to b line it out as soon as the clock struck 0615 but the Jeep was about to turn into a pumpkin and I had 10 minutes to get home before the M changed the locks on me!
YHC is humbled to make it to the finals and look forward to an all-timer against either Special Sauce or Coach K, let’s all find the motivation to fight the fart sack and deal with some colder temps, I can guarantee that the Q’s this week will get us up and moving quickly!
Reminder: see PowPow’s post on the food drive, if able try to find a way to contribute to those less fortunate

YHC was proud to keep AlrightAlright in his sights for most of the run, something that is normally not the case. YHC set a new PR, to which I attribute to some R&R over Thanksgiving. AA attributed his sub-par performance to a full weeks worth of workouts and no rest, which proves that even the studs among us need rest!

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 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.

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!

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!

With Brooks not showing up on Sunday, YHC decided to go heavy on the running. YHC was originally going to do the Suicide Special, but decided to modify it with coupons and football field. Special Sauce and a few others were curious if we were going to repeat the Bill Murray Caddyshak/Groundhog Day workout, but quickly found that was not the case. Rump was none to pleased and let YHC know it early and often. Overall a solid turnout and YHC was happy to have so many post in the Gloom.

Moleskin:
OK, so maybe it was more “Ground Hog Day” than “Caddyshack” but, again, my knowledge of golf is limited at best! It seemed like a good idea last night. I think everyone heard that the warm-up exercises this morning were suggested golf exercises – The internet never lies… Right?
I noticed Bleep didn’t have a whole lot to say this morning. I believe @Ultra called me an A$$hole the first round across, @Special Sauce told me he was thinking about faking having to take a dump for the first time ever at an F3 workout, @Double Pain told me that he’d forgotten what round he was on reinforcing the “Ground Hog Day” movie comparison. It was a pretty epic beatdown.

PAX: Alright Alright, Draper, Flouride, Island Time, Pepper, Pow Pow, Siesta, Sound Machine, Special Sauce

AO: Burleson Park
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given, with the added COVID disclaimer
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 20, IST x15, Vegetable Pickers x12
THA THANG:
Omaha from the tennis court to the softball field for F3 baseball. Teams completed 40 or 60 of an exercise at each base. Doing all four exercises was a run. Each team had 2 runs and left guys on base. Exercises were: Merkins, Squats, LBCs and Burpees.
Mosey to the Quad where there was a graduate taking photos, so Omaha to the Engineering steps for Jacobs ladder with Squat jumps and Derkins. Quick feet on the stairs (both feet touch each stair)
We continued our Tour de SMU stairs with the other side of the engineering building which was a much bigger staircase so did 11’s with Carolina Dry Docks and Box Jumps onto the fountain. Stayed there after for 20 Dips OYO and 20 Irkins OYO.
Mosey to the Pit of Misery for some abs (15 rugby sit ups, Uptown crunch x12) and some more box jumps up the stairs/amphitheater seats with 10 hand release merkins at the top (3 total rounds).
Native American run back to the park (thanks Sauce) and then a 4x5x4 (4 rounds of 4 exercises with 5 reps). Exercises were Dips, Swerkins, Pull ups and Dirkins. Ended right at 8 for COT.

MOLESKIN:
Some good EC with Alright Alright bear crawling a mile in 38(?) min, YHC bear crawling .6 miles and Pow Pow and Draper doing the Burpee Test and rucking 1.5(?) miles.
Lots of good mumblechatter this morning. Started off hot with Pepper strolling in looking like he chose to watch the entirety of the Mavs collapse against the Rockets, but #tclaps to him for posting this AM after watching that. That was followed by the Joe Kelly fan club proposing a re-enactment of the Kelly-Correa “faceoff” with Draper being Kelly and YHC (a big Stros fan) playing the part of Correa. The theme of Astros and cheating continued to the F3 baseball where Pepper accused the team of YHC, AA, and Island Time of cheating to which the observation was noted that YHC was a part of the team and thus that was the only explanation.
The next plan was to park it at the Quad for a bit, but someone was taking graduation photos, so YHC decided to Omaha and explore some staircases. The PAX was going to go to the Pit of Misery (which YHC incorrecly called the Pit of Doom and was quickly corrected by Special Sauce who also wondered if YHC was a Bud Light guy. To which YHC answered that YHC is a fan of all free, cold beer, which has been Bud Light on occasion). The original plan was to just touch every stair, but that was potentially too easy, so we switched to quick feet/both feet every step. Except the stairs were rather small and per Alright Alright “we all have big feet. you know what that means?” to which YHC and Special Sauce quickly responded “yea we need big shoes and big socks”
We then had F3 Golf Talk officially unofficially sponsored by Lone Star (the official unofficial beer of F3 Dallas) to talk about dream pairings of Bryson with Patrick Reed or Brooks Kopeka. No ants were found in the Pit so we didn’t have to worry about free drops.
Overall a good workout with lots of stair work and some Omahaing and YHC appreciated the PAX bearing with the changes.
