The Pax enjoyed another cool, albeit windy, morning at the Okwata AO. Before long, the gloom will be filled with thick and humid air, so 12 Pax posted to take advantage of it. YHC pulled up to the AO and was surprised to see our F3 Flag, which could only mean one thing: Reluctant Yankee was in attendance. Tagging along with our regional Nantan was none other than OBT, credited as co-founder of F3, which makes him awesome. Bogey had indicated he may show up this morning, but YHC told him he had to. That worked? Cool!
Several other Pax slowly assembled as the clock approached 0530. At 0530, YHC took a headcount and found we had an odd number, which was somewhat disappointing, but all would be good. Brief Disclaimer, and we were off….
Mosey around the mardi gras fountain, carioca left, then right, then continue our mosey to the grassy area in front of the fountain.
Warmup
Just as we started the warmup, the 12th Pax arrived, making us a dirty dozen! YHC could hardly contain the excitement!
SSH IC x 31
Imperial Sq Walkers IC x 10
Hillbilly’s IC x 15
Mountain Climbers IC x 10
Peter Parker IC x 10
With our dirty dozen, it was time to mosey to the levee. YHC was so excited, he forgot about double shots at the Barre with Jack Webb…but that’s ok, the Pax made up for that with the following:
Burp Back Mountain (There was much rejoicing)
Partner Up
Pax 1 does Burpees at the base of the levee
Pax 2 does quadraphilia up the levee and run back down (always facing Okwata) 3 times, then swap with Pax 1
Continue until 100 burpees cumulative are completed. Once complete, both Pax continue with quadraphilia until all Pax complete the burpees
Mosey to the House of Pain (HOP) for stations:
Partner up
Station 1 – Merkins AMRAP
Station 2 – Squats AMRAP
Station 3 – Step Ups AMRAP
Station 4 – Dips AMRAP
Station 5 – Pull ups AMRAP
Station 6 – Bear Crawl up the levee, 5 burpees, run back down (timer)
The Pax was killing it, leaving plenty more time for more pain! Mosey to corner of Lakeshore and Canal for, you guessed it, 4 Corners!
Corner 1 – 10 Burpees OYO – Why? Why not!
Run up and over levee to Amethyst St and Canal
Corner 2 – Monkey Humpers IC x 20
Run across Canal
Corner 3 – Mekins IC x 30 (up down count)
Run back across the levee to Lakeshore
Corner 4 – Squats IC x 20 (4 count, so that’s like 40)
Run back to corner 1 for….wait for it…..Catalina Wine Mixers IC x 10 (and there was much rejoicing)
Mosey back to the flag for..
Mary
Flutter Kicks IC x 20
Tin Snips IC x 20 (OBT pointed out that these were egg beaters, but YHC likes to still use Tin Snips as a credit to HVAC)
LBC’s IC x 30
Penguins IC x 20
That took us to 0615, which means…
COT
Countoff, Name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and closed with a prayer.
NMM
YHC indicated OBT was awesome as a co-founder of F3 because F3 is a gift that YHC wishes more men could experience. I know I’m preaching to the choir, but continue to EH like Triple Shift. T-Claps to Triple Shift for getting F3 NOLA aired by Ed Daniels on WGNO last night! The Monkey Humpers at Corner 2 brought up some conversation about the camera crew again and the disappointment of not being captured on film…..
Thanks for posting with me today! Until next time…
