  • Cold and Wet Gloom – Or Not – from Architect

    It was clear that the anticipated weather scared off those not mentally ready, even the KOTers. The rain held out, the temps were mild, and the waters were high; almost the pure definition of The Gloom. PAX participated in “7 mins of Heaven”, followed by various rounds of PAX-picked movements and water jug carries. Special thx to Mr. Rogers for providing the jugs.

  • Take the Pax to Work(s) Day – from Hokie

    YHC told Mr Roger’s a week or two ago I would take the Q for the 1st El Diablo RCR workout and take the Pax on a different journey.

    After a quick disclaimer Pax were told we were going to get some miles in. We would run with waypoint stops to exercise. Fast Pax we’re instructed to sweep the six at each waypoint so they could get extra miles.

    We left the park and moseyed to the 1st stop sign toward the railroad tracks. We stopped to lift the right leg and just turn the ankle to get juices flowing. Switched and did same on left leg and ankle. We then opened the right gate to awaken the hip flexor followed with 7 slow 4 count merkins.

    We then headed down toward Airline to the next stop sign. Fast Pax ran fast and slow pax were circled. As we all converged we gathered for 7 more slow count merkins.

    Onward toward Airline stopping at 911 (Baloo’s house) for 7 more slow four count merkins.

    Onward to 1525 Airline where we stopped for 7 more slow four count merkins. 1525 Airline is Lucky Coin Machine Co and my M- F day job.

    We continued this pattern as we turned on Airline towards Causeway and Pax were instructed to stay safe and on the sidewalk. The stops were with 7 Bobby Hurleys. Our 1st stop was H-M furniture. On this stretch Mayhem let the Q know we only opened one gate so we also opened the left gate.

    We had 4 stops on Airline with the 4th stop being Las Cruces my Saturday day and Sunday day and night job.

    Turn around and return with 8 stops to return at Pontiff at 0610 were we did extra mileage on the track

    Thank you, I love you all!

  • Just a Simple Beat Down – from Fracsac

    YHC thought the arctic vortex was behind us, but the breezy conditions kept the gloom chilly.
    Brief disclaimer given then mosey to rock pile for warmup which consisted of mostly normal stuff. 5 burpees thrown in due to lack of clapping during grass grabbers.
    Grab a rock and head to field where cones are set up. Pax given a choice. Choose B or D. With D being the winner, we started a Dora 1…2…3.
    100 burpees 200 LBCs and 300 squats. Partner walks rock out predetermined distance, completed 5 x SSH and returns. Flapjack until complete.

    Ring of fire. OH press x 2 rounds, followed by ‘mericans x 2 rounds.

    Do some stuff at each cone. MoT between cones varied from lunge to bear crawl to Peter Parker’s.
    Stuff included Catalina wine mixers, squats, flutter kicks, big boi situps and Honest Abes.

    Return the rocks and head back to the flag.

  • 8 years and more to come – from Bongo

    Don’t know where to start from this morning, but overall a fun beatdown. Too much mumble chatter, mostly instigated through Bogey and Frac almost to point of harassment. But the Q moves on and stays focused on the job at hand as a leader. My exact (8) year anniversary is 1/30/2016, but was volunteered last week by Catfish for this week’s mothership so we’ll celebrate a week (or two early).

    The main theme, unknown until final COT was to go back to my first beatdown as an FNG and recreate that, or as close as I could get. Here is the former Workout, https://www.f3nola.com/2016/01/30/no-hawg-no-flag-but-time-for-tyson/. Another point, temperature was < 32 F which I think is one of the coldest mornings in the gloom I can recall. Despite this, (12) pax showed up ready and willing which any Q, as I am, would be thankful for today. Here we go: Boys got together – and we took off for the Peristyle. Circled up for our WARMUP COP. SSH x 25, Slow Squats x 10, Mountain Climbers x 25, and Imperial Walkers x 25 Arm circles X 10 each way. Circle Back up to visit our boy – Jack Webb. Push Ups/Air Press starting at 1, then 2, then 3, then 4 to 10 over at the great. Still way too cold and time to start moseying to NOMA pond. IC Dips x 20, Left leg step up x 2, Incline Mercans X 15, Right leg step up x 20, Dips x 20, Decline Mercans X 15 Box Jumps x 1… OYO with former story from my past I ain’t telling again…., no one is getting hurt under my watch! Long Mosey over the Football Field of Practice Track Eleven across the football field with running in middle, Burpees on one end, big boy sit ups on other. You know the math as I don’t need to explain. 5 rounds with Tyson. Sprint to the 50 yrd line do an exercise, then the goal line do an exercise, then back to the 50 and finish at the Goal line with a 4 set of the exercise. Rd 1 Burpees x 5, Rd 2 Jump Squats x 10, Rd 3 Peter Parkers x 15 each leg, Rd 4 Dying Roaches -x 20 total to keep it easy and finished Rd 5 Burpees X 5. Long mosey back to great lawn with quick stop at calf raise stand of stadium, Heisenburg counted us in. Great Lawn minimal Mary: Flutter Kicks X 20 and Hello Dolly X 20, arriving back to flag at 07:29:58. What a way for Q to keep us on time. COT went back through a reflection of my appreciation of what F3 has done form me in the last (8) years and how the (3) Fs (in whatever order) continue to bring me back. Many thanks for the opportunity to lead as always as I need to do it more. Here is to many years to come! See you on the radio.

  • Cora 1-2-3 – from Rudy

    8 PAX in the gloom this am. One severe bloody nose from Macgyver, and one DR visitor from Memphis (after 10 years in Shanghai) – good to see you again, Thibodaux! While our esteemed walker (Tenderloin) and KOT (Scantron and Macgyver) wne to do their thing, the rest when to go find a rock.

    Short warmup by the rocks, then head to the field. 4 PAX wated patiently wondering what happened to Mr. Rodgers. Several minutes later, he appeared from the dark, having apparently taken a wrong turn between the rock pile and the football field. First time for everything, I guess.

    Thing 1: A timed test. Each rep was 5 Thursters, run to the cones, 2 burpees, run back. The timed test – how many reps in 5 minutes. Everyone got 7-8 in.

    Thing 2: Cora – Dora’s friend, but only on Core exercises. 100 Sit Ups (with a rock), 200 Peter Parkers, 300 Flutter Kicks (with a rock). The timer – lunge walk to the cones (25 yards away) then run back. Quite a time killer (more than YHC expected), and the quads and hammies were starting to burn. Pool Boy set the Sit Up pace – nice work!

    Only had a minute or 2 to spare – so a quick Bear Crawl to the cones, and Crab Walk back.

    Then the timed test repeat: Same thing we did for the first test – but get further than the first time, or pay a 10 burpee penalty. All 5 PAX made it a wee bit further. Handy-G made it from 7.9 to 8.1 reps (in his precise math).

    Return the rocks, and back to the flag for COT. Apologies, PAX, for the confusion about what “in cadence” and “go further” meant. Those phrases seemed obvious to YHC, but apparently are less than obvious to the PAX.

  • Around DaHeartened by the enthusiastic showing of faithful HIM’s, YHC lead the PAX on a bisk mosey to the RockPile for Warmups SSH Imperial Walkers Side Lunge Stretch Arm Circles High Knees/ButtKickers MAIN THANG we toured the Metry Track, stopping at points of interest along the way.

  • Objects on the field are heavier than they appear – from Kenna Brah

    With a truckload of HIM building gear YHC arrived to find 3 chilly PAX anxiously preparing for a BD,

    Said PAX assisted YHC with getting the gear on the field. While enduring questions and jests as to the objects of the gear we set about warming up. Other PAX trickled in as we did.

    WARMUPS
    Slow Grass Grabbers
    Slow Hold Vagodas
    Arm Circles
    Butt Kickers/High Knees

    2-30# plates for Farmer Carry
    60# SandBag for Kettel Bell
