  • Sunnyside 2.0 w/ 2.0s

    Not too gloomy this morning as 21 PAX and 2.0s posted at the AO. T-claps to Gabrielle for bringing the flag, but more on that in a moment. Quick overview for the 2.0s of what F3 means and why their daddies come home sweaty and stinky in the mornings.

    WARMUP

    SSH IC x 15
    Tacos (Gabrielle 2.0) and Goldbar (YHC’s 2.0) demo’d and led a “flossing” warmup. The PAX were rank amateurs and there was intense modification around the circle.

    Then YHC did a poor imitation of the friendly neighborhood Spiderman, followed by IC x 20ish Peter Parkers, Parker Peters. Next up, Forward arm circles IC x 10, reverse arm circles IC x 10. We finished the warm-up with homage to Monsters, Inc. Scaryfeet Burpees!! – 5 burpees with Scaryfeet in between each.

    THANG#1
    Mosey (with a 2.0 on each PAX back) over to the playground. Divided into 2 groups for stations. Groups stay together and move between stations.
    OYO Pullups – 10 per dad + 10 per assisted 2.0s.
    Zipline – Dads & 2.0s do Carolina 10 drydocks/10 monkeyhumpers until everyone in the group does the Zipline

    THANG#2

    PAX piggyback 2.0s to the a friendly Oak. All 2.0s into the tree using 2.0 ladder seat thrusters (a movement unique to NOLA PAX that results in a child being happily perched 6 ft in the air, ready to catch Chinese made baubles).

    Then a Piggyback Mosey to Animal Parade in front of the park. We split in 2 groups one starting on each side of the columns – Frog Hop halfway, Crabcrawl back, Duck walk halfway, Bear Crawl back. Shimmer (King Kong’s 2.0 did an exemplary bear crawl that would put most PAX to shame).


    Then mosey to the fountain bench for: -Bench’s Dips -(12) 4count IC, Decline Merks (10 IC), Incline Merks (10 IC).

    Then with much trepidation, YHC had PAX and 2.0s form 2 lines for an Indian run. Anxiety was overblown. The 2.0s nailed it with much less mumblechatter or sloppy lines than our PAX usually have in the gloom. We finished our Indian run at the second octagonal gazebo where we did 4 count right-leg and leftleg step ups IC. Then YHC led the PAX in a sprint across the oval field only to learn it was a nearly impassable marsh. We pulled up for some Leprechauns over the rainbow – OYO PAX do 20 merks, while 2.0s hop over us on the down. One more mosey to….

    LEARN OUR FLAG HAS BEEN STOLEN!!! Who swipes an F3 flag, really?

    But the PAX rallied for the Caterpillar, which is, Dads in high plank, kids crawl through, last dad sprints to the front.

    Circle, countoff, nam-o-rama and welcome to FNGs (Seabass, TinyTot, Narhwal, Banana, and BadGirl). Prayer and thanks for the time we have with these wonderful little people. Follow up F2 with beignets and coffee. They earned the sugar intake!

  • Inaugural Sunnyside!

    No gloom this beautiful morning as PAX and 2.0s gathered at the Brees family playground.

    Circle up for a an overview of F3 and warmup.

    • SSH x 20 IC
    • Then we had 2.0s demonstrate proper “flossing” technique, to which we added cadence.  Tclaps to Peppa and Gabrielle for exemplary flossing.
    • Flossing, 4 count cadence x20.
    • Forward arm circles IC x 10, reverse arm circles IC x 10
    • Windmills IC x 10.

    THANG 1

    Mosey to the playground. Split into 2 groups.

    First group, PAX Peter Parker until all 2.0s ride the zipline. 2nd group does 10 pullups.  Then flapjack.

    THANG 2

    PAX carry a 2.0 on their back across the park to a tree.  All 2.0s climb or are lifted into the tree.  Photo Op.

    PAX carry 2.0 to benches at the fountain. All PAX and 2.0s do 20 dips IC.

    Mosey to the track.  Alternate run/jog to the gazebo.

    At the Gazebo, PAX and 2.0s do right leg step ups 10 IC, then left leg 10 IC.

    PAX carry 2.0s to the second gazebo.  Incline merks.  10 IC.  Then 10 more IC.

    Mosey back to the playground. for ….

    THANG 3 -the Caterpillar.

    PAX shoulder to shoulder in high plank.  2.0s army crawl down the “tunnel.” Last PAX runs to the front of the tunnel and 2.0s keep crawling.  The caterpillar moves forward.

    Finally, we circled up for F2&3. Count, and Name-o-rama.  Some PAX picked their 2.0s names, since their wives probably did the picking the first time around. Some 2.0s emphatically picked their own names.

    We wrapped with circle and prayer, then regrouped at the Coffee and Beignet spot for well deserved powdered sugar goodness.
