The Fritter made a come back without you!

/in /by

Today marked the first workout of the week for the Foundation. There are over 30 members in the Foundation but only 10 showed up for the new and expanded Fritter Challenge. That pre-blast must have scared them all away.

FNGs: none
Warm Up: Lap around Ting with stops for Good Mornings, HB/IW, Windmill, Fazio Arm Circles.
The Workout:5 stations were established: bottom of the ramp (5 burpees), top of the ramp (10 LBC IC), dumpsters (10 merkins), tennis courts (10 squats), basketball courts (10 monkey humpers). Start at the bottom of the ramp with burpees, Indian run to the top of the ramp 10 merkins and then back to the bottom for 5 burpees. The next round you run to the second spot and stop at the first on the way back. You always run the farthest and then hit all the stations on the way back.

We made it at least 5 rounds. I had 3.6 miles when we finished. Good work everyone!!!

Officer, I Can Explain

/in /by

As YHC was pulling into the Ting lot, an HSPD truck turned around and followed in behind me. YHC played it cool and planted the flag and gathered up my headlamp and vest. Officer Clarke explained Bacon asked him to drop off some sweet blinky lights for running. Thanks Bacon! We chatted with the officer while the last few PAX rolled in and everyone got a light. YHC has a few extras if anyone reads this and wants one, hit me up. We told officer Clarke to head over to Womble at about 6:15 to look for some suspicious Pokemon character who was running a workout that may be named later (TBD) and he headed out with a little confusion. A quick count off and explanation of the route and we were off.

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Chat with officer Clarke

The Workout:
There was a 3.5 and a 5+ mile route. We took a moment of silence as we passed by Veterans Park in memory of fallen soldiers. The 6 was picked up and all PAX made it back. Well, Coal Ash’s ankle might say otherwise.
This is the route we ran :D

Mary: Not today

Announcements:
Picnic 6/26, Dauber collecting money for HSPD first aid kits

T-Claps (Recognition):
Bacon and HSPD for the blinky lights.

Prayer:
UTI’s grandmother, unspoken, injured PAX, fallen soldiers.

YHC took us out.

Ultimate at Thunder

/in /by

FNGs: Welcome Snoopy and Hertz!

Warm Up: YHC attempted some upper body stretches to loosen up before the big game. There was a lot of chatter going on so we all did 5 burpees OYO. Then we counted off, split into the 2 teams, and let the games begin.

The Workout: Ultimate! We had a highly competitive game with the good guys stealing a heart breaker on the last play of the game.

Mary: Not  today

Announcements: Check slack and FB.

T-Claps (Recognition):

Prayer: Unspoken.

YHC took us out.

Fun and Games

/in /by

FNGs:

None  today
Warm Up:

SSH x20 IC

Daisy Pickers, Sir Fazio forward/backward, Good Mornings x10 IC
The Workout:

Mosey over to the baseball field and partner up for a game of Wasps. 2 pax start out “it” and do 2x burpees at home base. They then tag other pax who then become “it” after returning to base for 2x burpees. Entire baseball field was in play – even the fence apparently for Pots.

Unfortunately Wrangler had an injury when performing a burpee towards the end of the game. Prayers for a speedy recovery bro.

After Wasps we moved on to some animal races – from the infield/outfield line to the fence we raced in the form of Bear Crawls, Duck Walks, Wheel Barrels, and Sprints.
Mary:

Moseyed back to the flag and circled up for LBCs, low slow flutters, and Freddie Mercury’s.
Announcements:

Upcoming 5ks – Grasshopper and Derek Davis. Sleep in Heavenly Peace bed build on June 12th.
Prayer:

Wrangler for injury recovery

Memorial Day Murph Challenge- 2021

/in /by

32 Pax showed up today to help me (Shredder) celebrate my 4 year F3 anniversary and more importantly pay respect to our nation’s fallen during our annual Memorial Day Murph Challenge.

Impressive effort by all, especially after the May Challenge. 30 joined in on the Murph, Dauber (IR) joined to capture the event and support with donuts, and Breach (after doing a Murph at 0600) stopped by to give us his thoughts on Memorial Day and his recent visit to Arlington National Cemetery.

Warm Up: short warm-up with SSH, Good Mornings, Willie Mays Hayes, & Frankensteins. Pax counted off by 2s and headed off in opposite directions for Mile 1.

The Workout: 1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, 100 mile run.  Since this is F3 the last mile was an Indian Run race with the slower group having to knock out 50, scratch that, 20 Burpees. After a quick “speech”, the two groups took off in their different directions.

The mental battle was in full effect as my mind kept telling me “you need to quit”, just after I told everyone we needed to learn to Embrace the Suck. But Pax did what they do best and mentally drug me through the last mile.

As everyone wrapped up their last mile and came back together, guess what…..? Yep. We all did Burpees.

T-Claps (Recognition): We raised $425+ for HSPD first response bags. Sprinkler’s team donated 1/2 of their May Challenge winnings to the 1st response bags and 1/2 to the FQV bed building. Great work #HIM.    

: YHC took us out. Remember why we have a Memorial Day. Freedom is not Free! 🇺🇸

Warm Up:

Warmed up w/Mutiny – SSH, Good Morning, Daisy Pickers, Sir Fazios courtesy of Martini
The Workout:

Shamelessly borrowed from a Skidmark Q at Ivan. For each set of exercises YHC went through a quick progression going over form. Pax then went through the set and ran a loop around the nearest parking lot island, noting what order they finished in. They then competed with their nearest partner with the “winner” adding 1x burpee or 1x turkish getup to try and even the field.

Exercise Group 1
5 burpees
10 Kettlebell Squats – Kettlebell held overhead in arm
15 Presses
20 Kettlebell Swings

Exercise Group 2
5 Turkish Get ups
10 Snatches
15 Overhead Press (two hands)
20 Squats

We went through each grouping 3 total times

Moseyed to the tennis courts for 20x Low Slow Flutter and LBCs

Mutiny pax joined us and we also stole M4Life’s Q from the recent JocoGa CSAUP – we played B-Sides (aka Bring Sally Up) with pax in plank hold going from chill cut to regular and back as told to bring sally up/down.
