10 Pointers at Mutiny

First time Q for me at Mutiny. Been there several times over the years but never took lead. Was great to combine with Red October for EC, w/u, Mary and COT.

FNGs: No, but we had an FNG at Red October, welcome Murdoch
Warm Up: combined with Red October
The Workout: Indian Run to get things moving. Selected rocks and started with curls and tris from 20 to 15 to 10 to 5.  Shifted to the 10-pointer. Did 10 on the 10 count. This is full motion move starting with a squat, curl, tri press, back to chest press, curl down and end back down in the squat. Slower count, focus on form. Then we did a Bear Crawl halfway back up the road and jog the rest to a plank hold, 20 SSH IC, and 10 tempo squats. Mosey back to rocks and repeat (I think we ended up doing 4 full sets). Headed over to tennis courts and did a shoulder burn as we waited for Red October.
Mary: A couple quick moves called by YHC and Breach
Announcements: Upcoming picnic, check slack and make plans.
T-Claps (Recognition): Rainmaker coming back out, great work this morning
Prayer: Breach took us out

Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

FNGs: none, but lots of new riders to VC.  Administered Safety brief, rules of road, helmets…Made sure EVERYONE knew how to change their gears on their bikes, especially bikes that were borrowed.
Warm Up:  oyo
The Workout:  see pic.  Really proud of the effort everyone put in this afternoon and Lipsync for picking up the six and making sure the Q knew where he was going.
Mary:  on tennis courts, good evenings, static stretches, Frankensteins
Announcements:  see FB, Slack; 5K runs, bed build
T-Claps (Recognition): PAX coming out to VC for the first time; Breach for riding his bike from Needmore area and making it ON TIME (gassed, but on-time nonetheless); Sprinkler did drive him home with his bike in the back of the truck.  Nice job Captain.  And special shout out to my mom who graciously supplied water bottles to PAX that just forgot to bring.  Luckily her house was on the route and she was at home.
Prayer:  Unspoken, military appreciation month, less fortunate….thanks Breach for taking us out.

Pledge of Allegiance

Honored to lead.  -Dauber

Oh Deere, Ultimate at Thunder

FNGs: NO SIR

Warm Up: Windmills, Frankensteins, SSH, Irish Potato Pickers

The Workout:  ULTIMATE!  We were down in the pit across from Womble.  Notable MVPs were Breach, Cancun, Maybelline, Redenbacher, Bullseye, and Pumpkin Spice.  Repeated big plays by these PAX.  Overall though this was a great game that was very equally matched.  Who won!?  I don’t remember the specifics but I feel like we all won really.

  • Merkins and Squats were utilized to penalize drops of the sacred frisbee

Mary: NO SIR

Announcements:

  • Be on the lookout for a plan to be hatched to make Wolfie a more prominent member of F3.

T-Claps (Recognition):

  • Pikachu on the new gig.
  • Pikachu and Dauber for making sure we had all the right gear for ultimate.
  • Breach/M4L for finding my key on the field – that could have been bad

March Madness at Thunder

This is a backblasts that YHC is writing a month or so late as I got caught up in Snowbird’s March Madness Challenge in Raleigh and Backblasts got put on the Back-burner.

Workout Date: 03/31/21
For those of you who have been following Raleigh’s March Madness Challenge, the biggest competition was in the second week between Boitano and Spit Valve. These men went head to head: posting, pre-running, doubling down, even tripling down. When the dust settled, Boitano was victorious by a point! I asked Spit Valve what happened, and that’s when I found out about Thunder in South Wake. I immediately signed up to Q for 3/31.

The Heart of March Madness

Warm Up:
Give the mission statement, check for FNGs, give the disclaimer, and warm up:
It’s been a month, and my FNG showed up in the middle so I really don’t remember. I hope I repeated the disclaimer.

Main Event
1) L-R step ups, Irkins, Dips, LBCs, Derkins under the picnic shelter
2) Rock work at the rock pile
3) Wall work at the amphitheater
4) Dora 1-2-3 to finish us out

Mary:
Various Mary exercises. I don’t remember which ones.

COT:
9 PAX
Prayers for babies on the way, couples struggling to conceive, a friend in a coma, a parent about to have heart surgery.
Rams took us out.

Naked Moleskin:
Boitano did not show. As late as this morning, he was still in the competition, trying to throw me off after The Blitz. He sent me congratulations earlier in the day, but I couldn’t decide if it was another head fake until halfway through Thunder. I still expected him to roll up with two FNGs.
Speaking of FNGs, Gizmo is my first FNG! Thank you, Boitano for pushing me. There’s no way I would’ve reached out to him it weren’t for you. He even texted me to bail out about 45 minutes before the workout. So I told him about the competition and that he could very well be the difference. It worked!
And my month-long CSAUP comes to a close. Well done, Boitano. You’re a hell of a competitor! (and pretty sneaky)
My next #F3Q21 #2021Challenge Q is Excalibur on 4/1 (tomorrow) as I make up some of the Qs I shuffled for March Madness.

Mosey around the side of the school and stop for 11’s of monkey humpers and goofballs

Continue to mosey to the back for a 3 minute AMRAP of 10 single leg squats, 20 hand release merkins, and 30 squat jumps. Take a lap around the track then head over to the circle.

Bear crawl Ring of Fu – we all Bear crawled around the circle, each pax called out a number and on their up we did that many wing chun strike combos.
