  • Hawg’s Birthday – from Charmin

    All came out to celebrate Hawg. Some Ran, Some Rucked, others just showed up. All had a good time.

  • Bears, Monkeys, and Donkeys at the Mothership – from Triple Shift

    With Thanksgiving on my mind, I wanted to make sure that the NOLA Pax knew how thankful I was to Q the Mothership. My watch shows 6:30 am and I launch into my necessary disclaimer and go over the 5 core principles of F3. From there we head to the Peristyle for the low slow warm ups with the form police out in full force.
    WARMARAMA
    10 Squats, 10 Merkins, 10 Peter Parkers, 10 Shoulder Taps, 10 Tie Fighters (forward and backward) with 15 Burpees. Everything was in a slow cadence and the form police had to issue citations for not getting past 90 degrees on the squats. Not being in a plank position for the Peter Parkers and Shoulder Taps (Saw too much A Frame going on) and not getting the chest to the ground on the Merkins and Burpees.

    THE THANG
    I inform the PAX of my desire to go around the great lawn on the pavers by performing the Gorilla, Bear Crawl and Crawl Bear. Specifically, we start on the pavers in front of the small monument and we are always facing north. We proceed to Monkey to the right all the way to the covered structure. From there, we bear crawl north to the covered structure. Once we reach that location, we Monkey to the left to the covered structure then Crawl Bear south to the covered structure. Once we reach the last covered structure, we Monkey to the right to where we started. That routine took about 20-25 minutes.
    We cross the street to the use the benches in front of the Peristyle for 10 low slow Bulgarian Split Squats (each leg), 10 low slow dips and some reverse plank time with our feet on the benches and shoulders making contact with the ground.
    With time running short I lead the Pax in the JackAss Webb routine which is a one burpee / 2 donkey kick exercise. We do 5 burpees IC /10 DK, 7 burpees IC /14 DK and 10 burpees IC / 20 DK.
    Finish up the last 10 minutes with stretching.

    COT
    Had the countoff, namerama and shared the importance of being grateful not just thankful. Being thankful was more of a thought or feeling while being grateful compels us to action. Specifically, gratitude is incomplete if there is no expression of your gratefulness. So, this Thanksgiving season, show your gratitude by expressing it in a concrete way. Maybe, sign up to Q a workout to express your gratitude for F3 and what it has done in and through your life.

  • The Renni is a Boomin – from Fracsac

    19 Pax posted at the Renaissance looking to kick the week off right.
    Disclaimer given along with the 5 core principles and off we went to face the bacon for the warm up. During this time the pax were asked for the 5 core principles which they got. Then YHC asked for the Mission Statement. The pax called upon needed some help so he bought a phone a friend with 10 x 8 count body builders.

    Mini Dora from fountain to top of stairs.

    Move to tree line for some bear crawls and such with a little lunging.

    Back of the museum for 5 x Sunday mornings.

    A few minutes of Mary on the way back to the flag with a mental exercise resulting in burpees due to a failure.

    NMM

    There was a time when the Renni really struggled to draw in Pax. YHC posted alone several times and had the pleasure of welcoming Hokie as the only other post for the first few months. YHC is now blessed to have so many HIMs join!
    It would have been 20, but the scheduled Q had to back out due to an illness. YHC was happy to step up!

    The time change gave us that rare 25 hours in a day. What to do with that extra hour? Heisenberg suggested a one hour pre Renni Ruck, which YHC was happy to indulge.

    10 years strong in Nola and we’re showing no sign of slowing down. Tclaps to all Pax that make F3 what it is.

    Back to the flag for COT.

  • All Hallow’s Eve – from Charmin

    KB and YHC pulled up at a little before 5:20 to see a herd of runners running away from the proverbial flag and all of their cars taking up valuable parking space. The days of a Lakeview Clown Car were apparently over.

    With just KB, Vagabond, and YHC at the flag at the start time we felt a rumbling, before we knew it, the herd had surrounded us. It felt like a reenactment of the Mufasa Death scene in the 1994 classic, The Lion King. Before we realized what had happened Vagabond was taken away and the herd had left.

    KB was nursing a sore ankle and not to leave a fellow pax behind, we went to his car to lift some heavy things. Turns out, the heavy things included, but is not limited to:

    a bike
    a 80 lb sandbag
    20 lbs of laundry (unsure if clean or not)
    a 65 lb kettlebell
    a 15 lb ruck weight (this was found in the pocket of said laundry)
    and some manner of creature that I dare not describe.

    After lifting some of the weights around, Triple showed up; apparently he sensed the dirty laundry.

    Nearing the end of our weight lifting session, we could hear the lackadaisical languishing of the runner herd; apparently they could start 10-15 minutes before hand, but could run all the way to 6:15.

    We ended up with 16 Pax including Vagabond who reappeared unharmed (or rather no worse off than before)

    COT involved some education on today’s festivities originally being called All Hallow’s Eve referencing All Saint Day tomorrow and continuing on to All Soul’s Day the day after.

  • Just Farting Around – from Architect

    YHC Arrived. PAX arrived. Standard warm-o-rama. Rocks were selected. Mosey to field to begin the work.

    1 Thruster – 100 YD Dash – Recover
    2 Thrusters – 90 YD Dash – Recover
    3, 80
    4, 70…etc.

    PAX Circled;
    Round 1 – 1 Performs 12 Burpees while remaining performed a movement of Qs choice. Rotate PAX and change movement.
    Round 2 – Same as above but with 6 burpees and PAX got to choose movement.

    Special prayers for all those that are in need. Support your brother in need, we are ALL in need.
