From F3 Knoxville: “With heavy hearts we share this news: tragically and sadly, we lost our F3 brother, Cardinal (Taylor Phelps), during a workout this morning. He had a big smile, bigger heart, and we loved having him at our Rampart AO. He leaves behind a wife and two young children, and was the Senior Pastor at Caney Ford Baptist Church (Harriman). He was a High Impact Man and we mourn his loss deeply. Please keep his family and the men that were with him yesterday morning in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

To help support Cardinal’s family, a GoFundMe has been created. All of these funds will be given to his wife.”

Paradise City Q of the Year?

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , ,

YHC showed up early to set up some equipment for todays beat down. The preblast had a comment saying this would be the best Q of the year. Needless to say I think it was, considering there was only 1 other one. This is the rare occasion I have the honor to Q PC and know the standard mileage is 3 or more. YHC wanted to bring the intensity and keep the PAX moving with the option to push themselves. We had 11 HIM show up for the main event with a few ECers. One dude rucked it up as well. This is what we did.

Run big loop reverse with warm up exercises along the way.
Frankensteins
Windmills
Skiers
Copperhead Dirkens

7’s on ramp down to sportsman – burpees and worst Merkin ever
Agility ladders on the flat in the middle

Stack’ems in the parking lot (snake)
Shoulder tap merkins x10

YHC challenged the PAX to stop going through the motions and get out of their comfort zone. Do something to benefit someone each day.

Pleasure to lead men!

Riding the train with Diego

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , ,

EC: A quartet of ECers visited Womble on a 2.0mi jog. Stickers, Kosher, Abe and Bleeder

FNGs: None

Warm Up: We started quick after a few Pax guessed I had adventures awaiting on the first floor of the parking deck. A true gloom morning made the dry parking deck a welcome addition to the morning. Side Straddle Hops, Seal Claps, Windmills, Hillbillies, Overhead Claps and Good Mornings go everyone loose and mildly warm. 

The Workout: Inspired by an image of Dora the Explorer riding a train with a monkey, this train trip featured Dora’s cousin Diego, who is a much tougher train conductor along with frequently monkey activities. 

PAX partnered up to complete the Diego workout with the following cumulative goals:

-50 Merkins

-100 Overhead Press with a coupon

-150 LBCs

-200 Mountain Climbers in cadence

-250 Curls for the girls with a coupon

-300 Squats + coupon

While one partner tacked the exercises, the other partner raced to the top of the 3 flights of stairs in the parking deck. Upon the running partners return, both PAX performed 5 monkey humpers together then flapjacked. All groups completed just in time for a return to the flag and some Mary. 

Mary: We circled up and held a plank while each PAX performed 10 merkins one PAX at a time. Upon completion of everyone’s merkins, we performed a variety of yoga and stretching exercises to complete the beatdown.

Announcements:

PAX in attendance helped Gump and YHC name this AO;  we offered up three choices with an honorable mention:

Choices:  Paradise Lost, Paradise Gained, U.F.O. & Elenor Frisbee (although a nice recommendation from the crowd – Vicious Discus).   Not sure if the PAX were thrilled with our top 4.  Regardless, U.F.O. was a near unanimous vote.  Questions asked what it stood for? – – – so many recommendations & examples from the PAX – some not permitted in this PG space.

Going forward, each Q will determine the abbreviation.  Let’s have some FUN with it.

Tues nights with 3 Alarm – come out and support another new official AO (great work Wild Turkey, Yogurt, Moose…).
Tea Time tonight

Change of Command:  Nantan – Thank you Pikachu!  Welcome Breach!

 

Q-School next Sunday at 1400.  See Banana Seat.
