  • Dance you Frackers, Dance! – from Fracsac

    Conditions: 50 degrees and dry with a wind chill making it feel like 40. Lots of missing Pax.

    Alarm went off and YHC debated posting due to some lingering soreness. That thought passed and headed to Pontiff arriving 5 minutes early. Curious who the Q was, pulled up the spreadsheet and saw it was…..FracSac?!?!?

    Planted the flag and started talking, apparently not a disclaimer as Rudy quickly pointed out. So disclaimer given and mosey to field for the warmup. Regular warmup stuff with a couple memorable moments. Hand Grenada refuses to dance. Bogey likes to get up close and personal during Peter Parkers.

    What to do when not enough time to plan? Don’t act like you don’t know.

    Mini Dora:

    Assigned partners through count off.
    50 Burpees
    100 ‘mericans
    150 squats

    Partner runs to 50 yard line and back.

    11s
    Burpees and Big Boi Sit-ups
    Bear crawl 15 yards between

    Dance across the field by lunge walking. This really stretches the knees.

    Finish off with Mary, including some wind shield wipers.

    Interestingly enough, there was Mumblechatter during the warmup and then it went quiet until the lunge walks.

    Thanks for posting with me and for making me a better person.

  • The return of the Yippee Bag – from Rudy

    The birthday tradition is back! Finally! Reasons outside of YHC’s control kept the Yippee Bag from its traditional August date, but better late than never. 12 PAX got to experience the joys and sorrows of The Yippee Bag ™ this fine morning. That included one DR visitor (Extinguisher from JAX), one second-timer (welcome back Igor!) and one FNG (thanks Igor and Triple Shift).

    Disclaimer given, mosey to the Big Lawn. Quick review of The Yippee Bag ™ Rules: Basically, there are none. Pick from the bag, the card provides instructions for what happens. Exercises 4 U. Exercises 4 the PAX. Exercises 4 the Q. Fun and Games. Its a crapshoot!

    Circle Up for the warmup. Catfish kicks us off by pulling “20 Merkins for Someone”, and of course – he selects YHC. Its gonna be that kind of day. So the warm up continued in a very disjointed manner, as War Eagle also reached into the bag. In between Situps, 8 counts, Burpees – the PAX managed to get in a bit of a warmup.

    Thing 1: Bear Crawl (maybe 25 yards), then 7 burpees. Crab Walk, 14 merkins, Bear Crawl, 21 Squats, Walk Crab, 28 BBSU. In between, we had LOTS of cards drawn. Everyone’s in on the game. Bogey pulls out the Bear Crawl Relay. Mahatma draws Crab Walk Red Light/Blue Light, and more and everyone is pulling out more Burpees. War Eagle has to go to the MINI to rifle carry the ANDY block.

    Thing 2: Head over to grab a rock. Meanwhile, YHC has to do 10 more 8 ct body builders. 10 Overhead, Rifle carry, 10 Curl, Rifle carry, 10 Row. Return to the tree. Repeat with 9. Then 8. More and more cards. FNG gets selected for 10 Bobby Hurleys – whoa, that guy can jump. Definitely on Team Pontiff for future Ultimate games. Quick game of SPUD (oh, *thats* what the football was for). This devolved into barely controlled chaos. Keep lifting rocks. Then its time to put the rocks away.

    Thing 3: Mosey to the MINI. Partner up for some Dora in the parking lot. PAX 1 – run (w/ bricks), 1 brick-pee, then return. 50 Hand-release merks, 100 Squats, 150 Situps. Klinger drew a “Sing Happy BDay to Q”. He did a great job (while YHC had to do more Burpees). Bogey won the “Hold Your Breath” contest (in his defense, YHC had just run a lap while everyone else was holding low plank).

    Time ran out nearly at the same time as the Yippee Bag ran out. Back to the (Virtual) flag.

    COT: Reviewed 5 principles for the FNG. Then we all know the drill. FNG named “Tesla” due to his South African background.

    Thank you all for humoring me again!

  • Just the Three of Us… – from Fast Tax

    Three PAX avoided the IPC madness for a day, choosing to venture forth to the Goldmine. YHC did not have a clue how many would heed the call, so a little over-preparation was necessary. Unfortunately, my plans largely anticipated at least four. Alas, that was not the case (thanks @Rudy) as some appeared to have slept in today. No matter, with a comfortable wind in our face, and YHC’s big bag of stuff, we endeavored to make it entertaining at least.

    Warmups were a sprinkle of Fast Tax favorites: Hairy Rockettes, Toy Soldiers, Mountain Goats, Nancy Kerrigans, and Manatees. Sufficiently warmed, it was time to see what YHC had in the bag…

    First item out of the bag was……drum roll……a balloon.

    Introducing a new Fast Tax creation; we’re calling it Plank Floaters (credit to Bogey and PVC for naming ideas).

    Plank Floaters begins with one PAX holding a balloon while the remaining PAX, in a plank position, create a circle around him. PAX count off (remembering their number) and the game begins with the PAX in the center calling out a number as he hits the balloon into the air. The PAX whose number is called must jump up and hit the balloon back up, before it touches the ground, while calling out another number. Meanwhile, after each PAX hits the balloon, they sprint to the spot around the circle just left open by the PAX they just called. If the balloon hits the ground or pops, all PAX do five burpees and then play resumes.

    YHC must note here that Plank Floaters was designed for a larger group and not a lot of wind. Nonetheless, we modified with no plank and the three of us just roving in and out keeping it in the air (windy). But, one person can’t touch it twice in a row. This mod made it a lot more aerobic since we had to essentially chase the balloon while avoiding obstacles and each other. By the end of the exercise, we had done 80 burpees.

    Putting away the last balloon, b/c YHC popped three of them, we reached in the bag for the next item – a disc…Disc Burpee anyone?

    Forming a triangle, the disc was thrown(?) from one PAX to the next, with PAX taking one step back for every rotation around the triangle. If you dropped or missed a disc that was catchable, you had 2 burpees. Conversely, if you overthrew or underthrew, you had 2 burpees. By the end, Bogie was the clear winner, having the fewest burpees, while YHC and PVC likely made it to the 100 burpee mark for the day.

    With time running out on our entertaining yet aerobic Friday fun, we headed to COT for Name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and prayer.

    Thanks for the fellowship!

  • Rock City Answers The Belle – from Hawgcycle

    Conditions: Clear and 77 degrees. Humidity 87%. Wind 2.3 mph from the WNW.

    Pax: The Bogé, Charmin, Hokie, Rudy, Triple, Boo, HG, Cyber C, and YHC

    I’m using text to speech to write this back blast cents I can’t move my harms. My farms. My alarms. Delete. Backspace. BACKSPACE. Okay. Just start over. Leeland! Come here. How do I turn this off? Never mind. Stop laughing at me. You have milk coming out your nose. Just wipe your face and go to school. New Paragraph.

    Hokie clearly became board during the first 3 quarters of the Saints game, as he texted me regarding the set-up for this week’s IPC. He told me what the challenge was, that setting it up as a star was stupid and then he texted “Are you stupid?” I texted “I’m not stupid.”

    Charmin’s car was there when I pulled up at about 0515. I think he may have slept there. We walked up together with our cinderblocks coming upon a mass of humanity, lying on the sidewalk, shaped like a pretzel. We told The Bogé hello as we stepped over him. One by one pax members came to a cinder block workout without cinder blocks. The requirements for an F3 workout could not be much lower. It’s free, you do have to leave your house and go outside, and about twice per year you need to bring something to the workout. Fortunately our resident boy scout had a couple of PainCakes that he donated to a couple of pax and then walked to the rock pile so that he could do the workout au natural.

    The Thang: Belle Ringer
    Format: AMRAP for 45 minutes

    Set-Up: Make a 5-point star with each point of the star being 25 yards away from the center. Scratch that. Set Up: Mark of 25 yards from the goal line and tell people to remember the order of the exercises and don’t get in each other’s way.

    Workout starts with:
    • 5 ManMakers in the middle. Rifle carry to cone 2 and perform 10 “We’re Not Worthy”. Farmer carry back to center.
    • 5 ManMakers/Blockees in middle. Rifle carry to cone 3 and perform 15 Goblet Squats. Farmer carry back to center.
    • 5 ManMakers/Blockees in middle. Rifle carry to cone 4 and perform 20 Overhead Triceps Extensions. Farmer carry back to center.
    • 5 ManMakers/Blockees in the middle. Rifle carry to cone 5 and perform 25 KB Swings. Farmer carry back to center.
    • 5 ManMakers/Blockees in the middle. Rifle carry to cone 5 and perform 30 Curls. Farmer carry back to middle.

    Scoring: Total reps for 45 minutes of the exercises

    Each complete trip is 125 reps

    • T-claps to Cyber Cajun for vowing to arrive early today and executing. He was a little late to last week’s IPC. We talked about the importance of getting there early since everyone is going to want to start at 0530. He arrived at least 15 seconds before this one started.
    • Mahatma was a no-show. The rumor was that he was looking for a cinder block that weighed more than 10 pounds. He finally found one, but was unable to lift it into his truck.
    • T-Claps to Rudy for Marshalling enough courage to show up this morning.
    • The variety of coupons used today was impressive. We had three or four actual cinder blocks. We had a couple of PainCakes. There was the natural rock. And Triple Shift brought a bag of laundry that he swears weighs 45 pounds.
    • We helped each other calculate the results since there was some difficult mathematical concepts involved. Hand Grenada proved that Arkansas is at least 49th in education. Bogey came over and let him use his fingers. After staring at my feet for a while, they still couldn’t come up with the correct number. I fixed it for them below. Without further ado here are the results. Remember, you can post these on F3 Greenville’s site if you want to see how ridiculous other people’s numbers are.

    o Charmin – 375
    o Rudy – 375
    o Triple – 373
    o Hokie – 275 + a long mosey with rock to and from the rock pile
    o Boo – 375
    o Cyber – 300
    o HG – 410
    o The Bogé – 395
    o YHC – 430

  • A Circle work beatdown – from Mambi
