  • Taking the Plunge at Okwata – Rain or Shine!

    As YHC headed out the door, the distinct sound of droplets of water hitting the ground could be heard. YHC thought this was surely the sprinklers, but nay, it was not. Who would enter the gloom on a day like this? One Pax sent a message via GroupMe that the Plunge would be where he was heading, after encountering the wet substance falling from the sky. At least he didn’t fartsack, so AO options on days like this are good. YHC had that terrifying thought of being a Pax of one. Who would inspire YHC to work harder, to push the limits? As YHC crossed the levee, parked cars at the AO were in sight, and more followed after parking. A total of six Pax chose to take the plunge at Okwata, proving that F3 men post in the gloom rain or shine!
    It was 0530, the Shovel Flag was marking the AO, and Old Glory was waving victoriously in the breeze. Time for the disclaimer…..and then….

    The Thang:

    Mosey to the mardi gras fountain, and complete the circle around, as is tradition at Okwata. With the normal spot for warm up being saturated from the rain, YHC sought to move to the other side of Lake Shore Drive, but was distracted by the deep puddles of water between the two spots. With that, the Pax lined up in front of the fountain for the warm up:

    SSH IC x 31 – That’s just what we do
    Hillbilly’s IC x 15
    Abe Vigodas IC x 10 (Hamstring getting better, thanks to the foam roller and lacrosse ball)

    Enough warmup, time to hit the levee. The shortest route from point A to point B is a straight line, so YHC took that route to the levee.
    11’s on the levee
    Instructions were to do 10 monkey humpers lake side, and one Burpee on the back side of the levee. There was mumble chatter about wanting to start with one monkey humper and work up, while starting at 10 burpees and working down the ladder. YHC refused to give in to such nonsense! With that said….
    One Monkey Humper lake side (not sure what happened here)…10 burpees back side. Keep going until 10 monkey humpers lake side and 1 burpee back side. Run back to lake side and plank and wait for the six. That was 330 Burpees banked for Cadre Danny!

    Move to the IHOP (Innovative House of Pain).

    Three stations:
    Run to top of levee, 5 plank jacks, and return (timer)
    Dips AMRAP
    Step ups AMRAP
    YHC was disappointed with the large puddles of H2O directly under the pull up bars, so a repeat wasn’t warranted. Time to move on to the next thang….

    Mosey to the corner of Canal and Lake Shore Drive for Four Corners, which all were done together and IC:
    Corner one: Catalina Wine Mixers x 10
    Over the levee to Corner two: Monkey Humpers x 20
    Across Canal to corner three: Merkins x 30
    Over the levee to corner four: Squats x 40
    That was so much fun, a rinse and repeat was in order!
    Upon finishing the repeat, YHC saw three minutes remained. Mosey to the flag for a couple minutes of Mary!
    Flutter kicks IC x 20
    Hello Dolly IC x 20
    Tin Snips IC x 10

    Count off, name-o-rama, announcements, intentions and closed with a prayer.

    Moleskin:
    YHC was thrilled to see the rain did not inhibit the regulars from posting to Okwata. The rain did not last long, and the cool weather that followed it was welcomed. Thanks for posting with me today!

  • Countdown to Grow Ruck

    “Age is an issue of mind over matter.  If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”

    – Mark Twain

    7 men of F3 gathered at Okwata at 0530 on a Sunday morning, fired up to get another ruck in before the Growruck event next weekend.  Terabyte asked if his M could shadow, as they have been rucking together over the last few weeks.  There were no objections.  YHC would struggle to get his M up that early, unless there was a flight to an exotic place in the works, and there were no later flights available.  YHC would prefer not to consider the response from his M if he were to ask, “would you like to don a weighted ruck sack and ruck for 2 hours with me and the guys at 0530 on a Sunday morning?”
    Upon arrival at Okwata, YHC and Triple Shift saw the same two individuals outside the same truck, and in the same spot, as last Sunday. YHC would normally take the opportunity to employ an EH, but thought better of it. Like beasts in the wild, they seemed less interested with our presence from the week before. Too bad this will be our last Sunday ruck for a while.
    Ruck sacks on, time to go! Triple Shift was thoughtful enough to bring a coupon along. This is getting real! YHC thought, “in one week from now, our group will be finishing up….or maybe just wishing it was over”
    Roots, Heisenberg, Triple Shift and Bogey gave YHC a run down on what used to be where the new pump station is past the SYC as we made our way to Breakwater Park, where the road was lined with litter. It’s a shame people don’t take more pride in their city and pick up after themselves. Bogey pointed out the incredible yacht owned by Otto Candies. There was plenty of good F2 the whole way.
    There was some discussion along the way about how younger members would help to ease the load of the older guys. With that, YHC took the coupon for a third time, and put the age factor to rest. F3 has prepared us well for this upcoming challenge, and we will be better for doing it.
    After approximately 2 hours and 6.6 miles, the PAX called it a day.
    Count off, nam-o-rama, and a prayer for strength to tackle the Grow Ruck challenge next week.
    Thanks for rucking with me today.

     

  • Get Shorty

    It all started with a simple request on the GroupMe App.  Hawgcycle asked if someone could cover his Q at Okwata, and Shorty quickly, too quickly, volunteered. YHC responded that he would be the back up, but had no worries in regard to Shorty posting. YHC posted just to see what sort of beat down Shorty would bring this day. YHC should have known it was a well thought out plot, a plot to get YHC to post. YHC was trying to rest the hamstring, aka Yoga Butt, but not this day.
    Due to a severe case of fartsacking, the part of Shorty will be played by Chili Palmer….

    Four Okwata die hards posted for an epic beatdown, which YHC thought would be brought by Shorty. Apparently the Cadillac of Minivans was calling, so no Shorty here.

    YHC: Chili, what do you think about Shorty fartsacking?
    Chili: I’m not gonna say anymore than I have to, if that.

    Well, I guess YHC would need to bring it today. It was an incredibly cool and brisk morning at Okwata, and a welcomed change from the humid conditions as of late. Time to get to it! But first, the disclaimer…..and then

    The Thang

    Mosey around the mardi gras fountain, karaoke left, then right. Circle up in front of the fountain for a warm up:

    SSH IC x 31
    IW IC x 15
    Windmills (Abe Vigodas) IC x 10 (gotta stretch that hamstring)

    Mosey back to the fountain for COP 1
    Jack Webb double shots at the barre – some mumble chatter about not seeing that coming…..
    YHC: Chili, you think we should do Jack Webbs at the barre?
    Chili: Look at me.
    YHC: I’m looking at you.
    Chili: No, I want you to look at me the way I’m looking at you.
    YHC: (Awkward)

    The PAX does 1 merkin, followed by double shots (air presses) in the peoples chair against the fountain rail, up to 10 merkins. That’s a total of 55 merkins.

    Mosey to the House of Pain….would the PAX be hit by a stench and a swarm of bugs again? Nope, all clean and ready for action!
    COP 2 – Four stations
    Run up levee, 5 burpees on top, run down other side and back up, 5 burpees on top, return to HOP (Timer)

    Count off, nam-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and a closing prayer to the Sky Q.

    Moleskin
    The PAX did a total of 115 merkins, 20 in one set, 40 in another set, and 55 cumulative in the Jack Webbs.

    YHC: Well Chili, you thought of a title for this beat down yet?
    Chili: How about “Get Shorty”?
    YHC: Well Said!

  • Okwata and the DMD

    YHC arrived at Okwata wondering which dedicated PAX would show up. YHC was excited when 7 hardcore Okwata junkies emerged from their vehicles to join their QIC in the gloom. The mystery ghost vehicle referenced by Rudy last week was back on the scene. No time to investigate, as 0530 beckons us to begin. Welcome JV, just in time for the disclaimer, and then mosey around the fountain. Mumble chatter about the pretty lights illuminating from the fountain…..karaoke right, high knees, karaoke left…….circle up for warm up:

    SSH IC x 31
    IW IC x 15
    Windmills IC x 10 (YHC is hampered by a hamstring thang…..gotta stretch it out)

    Mosey to the fountain for an Okwata favorite…..Double shots with Jack Webb at the bar

    1 merkin followed by 2 air presses in the peoples chair position against the bar
    Continue until the PAX completes 10 merkins and 20 air presses

    Mosey to the House of Pain……..
    Upon arrival at the HOP, YHC is overcome by crawfish shell stench and massive clouds of flying critters…..change of plans…..continue mosey to the corner of Lakeshore Drive and Canal…..Dirty Mac Deuce is back at Okwata!

    DMD is comprised of 4 sets of 3 exercises done to 12 count reps. There is one chest exercise, one leg exercise, and one core exercise. After each set of 3, the PAX runs a lap. The lap at Okwata would be the figure 8. However, this is Okwata! Our lap would be an Indian Run!

    Set #1
    Merkins x 12 IC
    Jump Squats x 12 IC
    Big Boy (WW2) Situps x 12 IC

    Indian Run a figure 8 lap

    Set #2
    Shoulder Taps x 12 IC
    Lunges x 12 IC
    Big Boy (WW2) Situps x 12 IC

    Indian Run a figure 8 lap

    Set #3
    Catalina Wine Mixer x 12 IC
    Monkey Humpers x 12 IC
    Big Boy (WW2) Situps x 12 IC

    Indian Run a figure 8 lap

    Set #4
    Floyd Mayweathers x 12 IC
    Quick lunges (or whatever their called) x 12 IC
    Big Boy (WW2) Situps x 12 IC

    Indian Run a figure 8 lap – YHC’s hamstring made the last lap a bit slower…..

    Mosey back to the VSF for….

    Round of Mary – all IC
    LBC x 15
    Flutter Kicks x 15
    Real Freddie Mercury x 15
    Dr. W’s x ???? (YHC completely butchered the count from the get go….maybe 10 total….gotta work on that one)
    Tin Snips x 15

    COT
    Count off, Name-O-Rama, announcements, intentions, and closed with a prayer to the Sky Q.

    Thanks for joining me at Okwata, and for allowing me to lead.

  • Lafitte’s Plunge #17

  • It’s 6am on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in…

    First off, t-claps to the gents who made it out Friday night for the 4-hour ruck and turned it all around to make the 6:10 warm-up run… and still outpaced YHC.  It is both annoying and inspiring, and YHC has vowed to make it to next Friday’s 4-hour ruck just to be part of the club.

    Warm-Up: SSH, Windmills, Cossack Squats, Toe Touches, Imperial Walkers, and Butt Kicks, all 20x IC.

    The Thang:

    To the sea wall for a set of 11’s: Freak Nasties on the sea wall, burpees at the curb.  YHC learned the hard way that there’s a reason no one incorporates burpees into a set of 11’s.

    Mosey to the playground for some Captain Thor (1 sit-up : 4 Russian Twists), where Grundy quoted Emerson, saying, “Man’s life is a progress, not a station.”  Or something along those lines.  The PAX took it to heart and progressed 1 up from our personal best, reaching a set of 8.  And I’m still feeling it.

    Next up, hands outstretched, palms up, then down.  50x.  No, that didn’t do anything… 100x.  Still nothing… 200x does the trick!

    Mosey to the perimeter for four stations: merkins, LBC’s, Mountain Climbers, and Squats.  Two teams of 4, with one teammate at each station.  The teammate doing the merkins does 15, sprints to relieve his teammate at the next station, sending that PAX to the next, and so on.  Rotating each PAX through all four stations twice.

    And finally, not much of a surprise, but a trip to Rips was in the cards this morning.  The usual Rocky Balboas, up and over, lateral RB’s, up and over.  Rinse and repeat until time’s up.

    A sprint back to the shovel flag where Tank finally took home the gold (Grundy sat it out), and immediately on to the countdown, nameorama, welcoming of FNG Boomer, announcements and coffeteria.  Thanks guys for a great Saturday morning!

     

  • A Deck of Cards Will Never Look the Same

    In blackjack there is the common phrase to ask for another card. That phrase is “hit me”. Well today we also had a deck of cards, but the cards were the ones bringing the punishment. Whether you asked for it or not.

    Warmup:

    • Windmills 20 IC
    • SSH 20 IC (At least I wasn’t Chewy and make you guys do 40 IC. My revenge is coming Chewy. As sure as the sun will rise, so will my revenge be sure to be exacted upon thee.)
    • Mountain Climbers 20 IC
    • 10 merkins
    • 10 copperhead squats
    • Shoulder Series (4 directions 15 IC)

     

    The Thang:

    Moseyed to an open spot for a Chattanooga Choo Choo. All PAX got in a low plank side by side and the one farthest to the left got up and leap frogged through the line and rejoined the group in a plank. The entire group continued this until we reached our mark (about 35-40 yards). The Pax was certainly out of gas at that point (or would the proper expression be that they were out of coal?).

    Moseyed to right before the park for some good old fashioned up downs. The PAX would do quick feet with their hands up until I said down and then they would hit their chest to the ground and return to the quick feet. We went for about 1 minute and then for the last 30 seconds we turned the quick feet into a high knees sprint. One thing we learned for sure was that Tanked Up could still be playing some football. And to answer your question Turbo, I was invited to the group by Triple Shift on the south shore. Aren’t you glad I’m here?!

    We then moseyed to the park for the real beatdown. Everything up to that point was just a warmup. Turbo was aware of what would be coming when I pulled out that deck of cards. Thus began our battle with the deck of death.

    No amount of card counting could have helped you with this one (although shooter seemed to have some expertise in this area). The beatdown has a simple premise. Every suit is an exercise (hearts were merkins, diamonds were squats, clubs were situps, and spades were 15-20 feet sprints), and the reps were the card number. Face Cards were 10 reps and Aces were 15 reps. And you can’t forget about those jokers. When a joker popped up the PAX did 5 burpees and a lap around the park through the playgrounds. Of course the last card was the Ace of Spades (okay, so you got me, it wasn’t a completely random deck).

    Shooter took over for the last sequence where we did 4 corners (moseyed to a corner of a street and did 10 burpees, moseyed to the next street for 20 hand claps, moseyed to next corner for 30 lunges, and moseyed the last block and finished with 40 SSH (Tanked Up made me do a bit more there)). And of course it took us right up to the flag. Good planning there Shooter!

    We finished with some core exercises

    We circled up for the Counterama and Namerama and Chewy closed us out in prayer.

    Great job today guys! Let me know when you guys want to play some cards! As long as Shooter isn’t allowed to come (Do you have a checkered past we don’t know about there?).

    Thanks for letting me lead guys! As always, sorry if I missed anyone

     

     

  • The Morning Call

    New faces, new workouts at Saturday’s lakefront beatdown.  Warm welcome to FNG’s Ace Ventura, Dollar Bill, and Manny, hope to see you guys at the next one.  It started as it usually does, with the pre-warm-up run continuing its current trend of picking up the pace each week.  Trying to keep up with Turbo and Tanked Up left YHC particularly destroyed.

    But no time to rest, it was onto the warm up.  With no Chewy to captain the ship, the PAX settled on a round robin, starting with YHC.  Pretty standard stuff: Seal Jacks, IW’s, Mountain Climbers, SSH’s, and Windmills all 20x IC.  A few more PAX trickled in and then a quick mosey to the sea wall to begin the thang:

    Set of 11’s: Freak Nasties, jog to curb, frog jumps back and forth.

    YHC had planned to forego the usual leg routine which seems to be wearing on everyone, but Grundy insisted, so I caved: Steps Ups each leg 10x IC, Bulgarian split squats each leg 15x IC.

    Grundy then took over, starting with an Indian Run to the playground for a new one: the Morning Call.  All PAX hold plank while one does three pull ups, in cadence with these pull-ups the entire PAX does three merkins.  Completed once every PAX has done the pull ups.

    Next up was Grundy’s boat rockers, made it to around 7x, IC.  Then Turbo took over for some more core exercises: Freddy Mercuries, Scuba Steves, Side Jacks, and some other killer routines that have slipped my memory.

    Over to the splash pad for a Dirty McDeuce: Split into groups of two for 3 exercises 12x IC, followed by each group doing a lap around the playground (up and over the two jungle gym structures) in opposite directions.  T-Claps to Butt Splice who added the challenge of reversing the direction and going up the pole, which became especially tricky after it was dripping with sweat.  Four rounds and a little splashed merlot and we were done.  (A few examples of the 3 exercises done: Merkins, lateral jumps, slow squats, shoulder taps, peter parkers, parker peters, hand-release merks, and the list goes on far beyond what I can remember.)

    On the mosey back, Butt Splice took the Q and had us drop for 10 Burpees.  Then we circled up to hold plank while each PAX took a 25 yard sprint.  There may have been merkins or something else in there…

    And what would a lakefront beatdown be without a trip to Rips?  We finished there with an AMRAP of 5 merkins and a trip up and over their famous stairs.  YHC had no watch that day, so I can’t be certain how long we went, but I am fairly certain at some point we’ll need to all pitch in to help them repair that staircase.

    Quick sprint back to the flag where, as usual, Grundy beats Tanked Up for the gold.  One day Tank, one day!

    Forgive YHC if I’ve mis-remembered something or someone (did we do a Mary?)….

    And be sure to check out one or all of the following this week: Mystery Q at the Mandeville trailhead Tuesday morning (5:15), a Turbo beatdown at the Covington Trailhead Wednesday morning (6:00), early morning run at Mandeville City Hall (5:15), Grow Ruck special Thursday evening at the top of the Justice Center parking garage (7pm), and Chewy’s return to Q Saturday at the lakefront.  See you gents out there…

  • This is Okwata!

    “Do, or do not.  There is no try.”

    Yoda

    No shovel flag to converge around, yet five men still arrive in the gloom for a beat down, yes they do. Are the cool days of spring gone, hmmm? Humid mornings say so, but wait and see, yes? 0530 is upon us, so YHC gives a brief disclaimer, yes he does, and then it’s time to mosey…….

    Around the fountain, the men of F3 mosey, and circle up on the grass, they do, for a warm up.

    SSH IC x 31
    IW IC x 15
    Arm Circles IC x 20 (10 forward, 10 back)

    COP#1
    Return to the fountain, these men go, to meet Jack Webb at the bar, where double shots await them.
    1 merkin, followed by 2 air presses in the peoples chair position on the railing around the fountain.
    2 merkins………… 4 air presses……….
    3 merkins………… 6 air presses……….
    4 merkins………….8 air presses……….
    5 merkins………….10 air presses………
    6 merkins………….12 air presses………
    7 merkins………….14 air presses………
    8 merkins………….16 air presses………
    9 merkins………….18 air presses………
    10 merkins…………20 air presses………

    Exit Yoda….

    Now that the PAX are awake and warmed up, it was time to get down to business. Mosey to the levee, near the house of pain. Time for some Jacob’s Ladder:

    COP#2
    Run up the mountain, stop for 1 burpee on top, run down the other side
    Repeat this Surge up and down the mountain, stopping for an ascending burpee at the top until reaching 10. If any PAX complete the ladder before the other PAX, continue running up and down until all PAX are complete. (55 Burpees).

    Move to the house of pain for the next set.

    COP#3
    Pull-ups AMRAP
    Step Ups AMRAP
    Catalina wine mixers AMRAP
    Jump Squats AMRAP
    Run up the mountain, stop for 5 plank jacks, run down the other side, and come back up and over the mountain back to the house of pain (timer).
    The PAX saw a Tool hanging on one of the pull up bars, and there was much enthusiasm……wonder who left the pull up assist band here?
    After one evolution, YHC called out rinse and repeat…..there was some mumble chatter….this is Okwata! We’re not the JV team!
    After the second evolution, rinse and repeat again……total of three rounds.

    COP#4 – Mary
    YHC once knew a man that called everyone “Bubba” and this was always confusing. YHC has digressed, so back to the task…..
    WW2 Sit ups IC (4 count) x 25
    Flutter Kicks IC x 15
    Hello Dolly IC x 15
    LBC IC x 15
    Box Cutter IC x 15
    Tin Snips IC x 15

    Mosey back to the VSF for the count off, name-o-rama, announce-a-rama, intentions, BOM and a prayer to the Sky Q.

    Moleskin
    This is the third Q in a row for YHC at Okwata, and Surge has been the constant. T-Claps for the continued commitment. Okwata welcomed Bubba back from his time away, where he was supporting the fitness of his M.  YHC thought it had been a couple weeks, turns out it was six weeks.  Time flies when one chooses the DRP.

    Tool is Q’ing the Mothership this Saturday in celebration of his two year F3 Event.  You won’t want to miss it!

    SYITG!

  • Okwata Welcomes DirtyMacDeuce

    “Don’t try to be perfect, just try to be better than you were yesterday.”

    Anonymous

    The correspondence that was sent out at the beginning of the week showed no Q for Okwata.  YHC checked his schedule, identified there was no urgency for an early appearance at work, and signed up to Q.  YHC gave the PAX the gift of Burp Back Mountain last week, while still incorporating elements of the April challenge.  Would YHC become predictable, or would something new be brought to the levee?  YHC indicated to the PAX through Group Me that the ever so athletic Dirty Mac Deuce just might make an appearance this week at Okwata.  Three men joined YHC to stand up to DMD!  Throw in some elements of the April Challenge, and we have what we can proudly call a downpainment on improvement!

    But first, the Disclaimer……..and then….

    The Thang

    Mosey to the House of Pain.  A mosey around the fountain would be predictable, and YHC is anything but predictable this day!  Circle up outside the House of Pain for a Warm Up:

    SSH x 31 IC – cause 31 is my thang…
    IW x 15 IC

    Enough warm up, we have business to get to…..

    House of Pain

    Enter the House of Pain, comprised of four stations:

    Run over the levee, complete 5 Burpees, and run back (timer)
    Pull – ups AMRAP – YHC brought a pull up assist band, allowing all to embrace the pull up!
    Dips – AMRAP
    Squats – AMRAP

    Okwata gave the PAX the gift of cool weather on the south side of the levee. It actually felt like at least 5 degrees cooler. It felt so good, a rinse and repeat was in order!

    DirtyMacDeuce

    Mosey to the corner of Lakeshore Drive and Canal, which is where Hawgcycle introduced the H8. But instead of the H8, this is where the PAX met DMD.  Would the PAX be intimidated?  Negative! We are men of F3!
    DMD is comprised of 4 sets of 3 exercises done to 12 count reps.  There is one chest exercise, one leg exercise, and one core exercise.  After each set of 3, the PAX runs a lap.  The lap at Okwata would be the figure 8 from the H8.  In staying with the theme of unpredictability, YHC made the lap an Indian Run!

    Set #1
    Merkins x 12 IC
    Jump Squats x 12 IC
    Big Boy (WW2) Situps x 12 IC

    Indian Run a figure 8 lap

    Set #2
    Catalina Wine Mixer x 12 IC
    Lunges x 12 IC
    Big Boy (WW2) Situps x 12 IC

    Indian Run a figure 8 lap

    The CCC10K is this weekend, and several F3 men will be in attendance. Due to the time of the event, YHC will be unable to post at the Mothership, although you know he would if he could!
