    FNG – Screech mentions after about 40 minutes of pain that he left his bike unlocked by the shovel flag.  Do you think I need to worry about that?  – I secretly thought that bike would be long gone. When we got back to the shovel – bike was still there.  Lucky this time Screech.

  • Against the Wind – Bob Seger Hour

    This is my first post on the F3 website – so please forgive any errors in formatting, etc.
    Any spelling or grammar errors, well that is all me!
    Four Crescent CityFaithful met at the alternate meeting spot as a result of sharing our AO with the Foo Fighters.  It was a blustery All Saint’s Day in the Big Easy.  Pushing hard against 30 mile per hour wind gusts.   Cold wind gusts.
    The Thang:
    Relectuant Yankee –  QIC
    Run 1/4 mile towards the Football field – to check normal AO for missing F3ers – #nope still just the4ofus!
    COP:  SSH x 15, Imperial Walkers x 15, Merkins x 15, Slow Squats x 15
    Jog to the practice field by the track for Burpee Suicides:  Run to the 10 yard line do 1 burpee, run to the goal line do 1 Merkin.  Run to the 20 yard line do 2 burpees, run to the goal line do 2 Merkins.  Finish after the 50 yard line.
    Hand of to YHC for Hawgcycle’s VQ.
    Tad Gormley was open for the Jesuit v Brother Martin game so we had to take advantage.
    Stadium 22s -Just like 11s but twice the fun.  Run to the top of the Stadium do 20 incline merkins, run to the bottom and do 2 dips, yadda, yadda, yadda
    Jog a lap around the track
    5 rounds of Tyson (or at least a version of it) – Run to the 50 yard line and do 10 jump squats, same at the far goal line, and back to the 50 for ten more.  Sprint Segar style back to the goal line and plank up for the six.  The next four rounds were Mary Katherines, merkins, line hops, and squats.  Every  time back to the Goal we were running straight into a serious wind gust – had to sing Against the Wind the whole 100 yards.
    Hand it back off to RY
    Jog back to the flag via a few tailgaters and circle up for  6 MOM
    LBC x 15, LBT x 15, Hello Dolly x 15, Rosalita x 15, Low Flutter x 15, Freddy Mercurys x 15, 3 sets of Superman.

    -debated a COP right in the middle of a field of campers sleeping off who knows what post – Outkast at Voodoo Fest.  Instead saw that Tad Gormley stadium was open and Hawgcycle decided to make me hate that place
    -Why Hawg?  Why?
    -Ran through a few early morning high school football tailgates, glad that I passed on the mid-run sausage biscuit handoff
    -Disappointed that our boys ditched us for warm beds, candy comas, and/or the Foo Fighters
