  • Oh Frac, Where Art Thou? – from Bolt

    YHC rolled up prepared for bootcamp or ruck depending on the pax and found only Kenna Brah milling about for his planned ruck—sans ruck. Bootcamp it is: kick off Bolt 3M promise with the usual warmup followed by a quick mosey to the “squish” pad for the Thang. Even though Frac was a no show YHC forged ahead with a mini burpeepalooza:

    Balance beam forward and backward
    Dips x 20
    RLSU x 25
    Dry Docks x 20

    “Black Betty” by Ram Jam–every “Black Betty”/Toy Soldiers

    Partner Up – Wheel Barrel to the top (NOTE we did move down to a lower section)

    Pax 1 and 2 perform plank high fives – up to 10 by 2’s (right hand then left hand = 1)

    Then Pax 1 holds Pax 2’s feet as he upper body bear crawls up the levee

    Rinse and repeat 4 times so each PAX got 2 shots at climbing the levee!

    Alternate with 20 BiG Boys

    1 minute plank recovery

  • Musta been the Right Time but the Wrong Name – from Bolt

    YHC grabbed the Q late with the expectation that the FNG I’ve been EH’ing would show after the previous night’s text invite. The gloom came and as there was no text reply, I remained hopeful any pair of headlights might b him…alas Boo Boo, Frac, and Rev joined me as Mahatma was coming in hot at the start of warmup, all sans FNG. Warmarama Rapper’s Delight edition with a call for overheads while actually performing chinooks, causing confusion among the PAX until Frac called it out.

    The Thang: Variations of mosey all the way to the workout equipment, stopping at each bench for burpees. Along the way YHC also called out for “man makers” causing more confusion because it was 8-count bodybuilders which caused Rev to pause and see what the movement would actually be so at nine minutes in you can see how swimmingly it was going. Arriving at the equipment each PAX grabbed a station including the pull up bar and performed AMRAP with a target of 25 minimum over the course of one minute, switching stations and resting 15 seconds. After a full circuit we moseyed back with just a couple stops along the way to perform more man makers, mary, 6 count squat holds (squat/hold/tap toes/heels/rise) and a final stop at the workout pad near the flag for dips and more mary. COT. Grateful for each of you!

  • PAX vs the Kraken – from Paradox

    IPC Week 5

    6 PAX boarded the pirate ship today to defend our turf against the mighty Kraken.
    After warmup and a discussion about new exercises we dove in.
    (check the F3 Greenwood site for a full IPC 5 breakdown)

    Goose and Wet Tap came out the gates hard and fast slashing tentacles and setting an impressive pace. Wet Taps ability to merge his hands with a 40 lb cinderblock and make it look like a pillow is becoming a thing of legends. YHC and Enron anchored the middle crew with loads of peer pressure and using the buddy system to complete Bonnies Blair’s and Jungle Boi’s. It was clear Enron was regretting those 2 pre-Thang Burpees but he eventually got to 102 on the day if we are keeping the Cardinal Burpee Venmo fund accurate. At this point the Kraken was staggering from our blows but still hammering us with the relentless emom Kraken burpees. What the Kraken didn’t know was that we had saved our 2-man secret weapon for the final death blow. Superfun(d) and Montana got the boat to ramming speed with a tremendous push on rounds 4 and 5 to put a spear though the Kraken heart.

    Great performance as a group to all finish under 45 minutes.

    Wisdom was provided by Captain Goose and 40 burpees were completed during the Kraken victory feast.

    COT and Enron (on 2 liters of oxygen) prayed us out.

    Respect to F3 Greenwood for putting us through the ringer this month and even more respect to our new guys SuperFun(d) and Lil Cuz for starting this wild ride in September.

    The IPC month has been a humbling experience, but iron has definitely been sharpened with the Thibodaux Pax.

  • Something for Everyone – from Boo-Boo

    13 men came to the Wally Sprint for varying flavors of difficulty, but all with the purpose of becoming stronger than when they arrived.

    Ruckers- Logo, Charmin, Hokie, Kenner Brah, Macgyver, Boo-Boo, Klinger, and Baloo completed 2.37 miles followed by nine minutes of Mary incorporating weighted rucks.

    Tenderloin did his thing.

    Sprinters- Hawg, Frac, Pai Gow, Mambi mindlessly sprinted around the track and showed up to COT dizzy.

    COT, prayers, OUT! Coffeteria followed with partial attendance.

  • GNARLY NUTRIA #7 – from Reluctant Yankee

    Well …I found the results from the Gnarly Nutria and I thought it would be a shame to not have the results written for posterity. Sandbar was the q BUT Abandoned ship so he could do something with the family out of town. As always that was the RIGHT decision. I arrived from a 520 mile hike across Spain on Monday 7/18. I posted for my first F3 beatdown post hike in the AM. That evening I decided not to run bc I wasn’t ready yet. I watched on the sidelines with injured Wax on, Wax off. Wax on was kind enough to pick up the beer from Brown Bag which he was kind enough to DONATE! There were at least 4 beers per runner. 2022 WAS the worst attended Gnarly – I mostly blame myself since I was out of town. Then I blame everyone else except Brown Bag because he posted and DONATED the beer. You the man Brown Bag!

    Ok results:
    #1 Beiber- upt , #2 Gump – upt, #3 Couch – upt, #4 El Guapo – Wrd, #5 Tinkles – upt
    #6 So GO – wrd, #7 Rev SOX – wrld, #8 RUDY – wrd, #9 Baldy – World, #10, Pipeline – upt,
    #11 King Kong – – upt, #12 Katy – upt, #13 harry carry – upt, #14 Frac sac – world , #15 Almonaster – upt, #16 Sub prime upt #17 moby dick world

    No runners palced 18-20

    Chiquita, Brynn Johnson, (GUMPS M) #2 (Tinkles M) and Brown Bag both ran 2 laps
    Ruckers were BIG WILLIE +3, Strings, Triple Shift, Satchmo, Gabby, Tube Steak PVC, BOLT, War Eagle.

    Congrats to UPTOWN for another victory on your home turf.
    Forgot all of the mumblechatter since I am writing this in October and the event occured in July
