SOGGY FEET

PRE-BLAST:YHC has the Q at DISNEY tomorrow.  I’m expecting a @Full House. This isn’t going to be a relaxing vacation to @Cancun listening to music from the likes of @Boy George, @Moby or @Bobby Dall.  It’s definitely not going to be like going to a Cleveland Browns game and sitting in the @Dawgpound, but you might see some of your favorite TV characters like @Nemo, @Dumbo, @Woody, @Pikachu, @Yoshi, @Aquaman, @Fonzie, @Dauber, or Daddy @Warbucks.  If you’re scared of dehydration and think you might get a @U.T.I., don’t worry the waterboy @Bobby Boucher will surely be there to keep you hydrated and if not you can always run through a @Sprinkler.  We might even run into @Emeril along the way who will surely be filling @POTS with @Kosher Bubba @Gump shrimp with @Yogurt, @McNugget s, and @Wild Turkey through a @Shredder.  If you get sick there should be a @ShamWow to wipe it up.  So jump on your @Kubota, @John Deere or grab your buddy and throw him on the back of your @Banana Seat and get here.  Before you leave the house be sure  to strap on you @Fanny Pack stuffed with @Lipstick, @Axe, @Gillette and some @MadDog2020 for afterwards.   If it helps apply some @Vasoline prior to the workout to avoid an unsightly @Skidmark.  Don’t be a sleepy @Katniss, unlock the @deadbolt the night before if it helps save time.  Who knows, by the end of the workout you all might be calling me @Mr. Terrific.  EC 5:05am. ME 5:30am

FNGs:1 – Dixie Chick

Warm Up:½ Lap around the outside of the turf field, then to the middle of the Soccer fields for SSH, Good Morning, Imperial Walkers, & Hillbillies

The Workout:Split into 4 groups around the circle of the soccer field. 5 Burpees OYO, then each group ran to the four corners of the soccer field and did 25 merkins on the “down”, then bear crawled back to the middle of the soccer field.  5 burpees OYO, then run to corner for 25 LBCs in cadence and bear crawl back to the middle of field.  5 burpees OYO, then run to corner for 25 squats on the “down” then bear crawl back to the middle of field.  5 burpees OYO, run to the corner for 25 plank jacks in cadence then bear crawl back to the middle of field – end with 5 burpees OYO.

Moseyed toward parking lot.  Got into 2 groups and started Indian running towards the Abyss, many rumblings of what was to come next, but to everyone’s surprise we proceeded to run past and around the baseball field back out to the main road.  Took a right on the main road and followed it all the way to the Path behind the turf soccer fields. Stopped at the hill behind the turf soccer fields.

At the hill we prepared ourselves for the fun of 11’s!  Monkey Humpers at the bottom and wide grip merkins at the top.  We started with 1 Monkey Humper at bottom and climbed the WET slippery hill for 10 wide grip merkins at the top and made it through the entire set with a LOT of groaning and moaning – but we made it.

After this we got back into out 2 Indian run groups at the bottom of the hill and continued our Indian runs around the turf fields back to the parking lot – once we hit the parking lot we had a Jail Break to the cars where we proceeded to circle up for Mary.

Mary:With time short, we did 20 count of Low Slow Flutters in cadence and a set of American Hammers to 20 in cadence.

Announcements:Holly Fest F3 booth/tent sign up site is live. Brute Force CSAUP on Saturday.  Bondo working on Special guest for Tuesday w/ 3Alarm.

T-Claps (Recognition): N/A

Prayer:Those that are injured and unable to get out and all our First Responders.

As promised a never done before F3 workout Indoors! Basketball full Court!!

Warm Up: Moseyed to indoor Basketball gym.

Stood on Baseline for the Pledge of All Allegiance

Workout: We had exactly 20 so we divided up into 4 groups and played 2 separate games of full court 5 on 5. We rotated after halfway. I don’t think our ball skills were very sharp in the beginning. Most of the PAX got better as time progressed except for Guatemalan. He pretty much stood in the same place every time and asked for the ball.

I know sometimes we do a lot of the same things every week. Thought this would be fun to mix it up a bit. Those that shined like @pumps because he has skills and @Fram the rest made up for it in fouls and large bodies pushing and shoving. Thank God we did not call fouls today. I would have fouled out before the second game…BTW I am pretty sure my Team won both games @bobby bouche @deadbolt @mookie @maddog. Next time we play @banannaseat will be on a 3-man team due to his speed!

 

Mary: No Time

T Claps: Bosshog and the new addition to the Family! Congratulations

Prayers: Thanks for the prayer support for my Mom. Our Country, Injured PAX, 3rd cousin who took a dive OTW back. Hope he is okay!

Hills and Halfpipes

16 PAX posted under the promise of exploring some of the topographical and landscaping features at Disney. YHC brought a simple sequence of exercises that took advantage of these features and a little more.

FNG’s: none
Warm Up: Good Mornings, Sir Fazio’s, Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers, Frankensteins.
The Workout: A mosey through the darkness to the large hill on the far side of the soccer fields. DORA was called. We partnered up and one PAX would take off up the hill, do 5 burpees, and return via crawl-bear. Exercises on the ground were: 100 Big Boy Sit Ups, 200 Merkins, 300 Squats.

Next was a 2-line Indian run over to the half pipe somewhat near the flag. We kept our partners here. Partners would run up the opposite hills of eachother a do either 15 Mountain Climbers or 15 Star Jumps. When meeting back in the middle, 10 Patty Cake Merkins. We got through 5 rounds of this.

Next, a mosey over to the playground for 42 dips and BTTW…just as long as YHC decided to do so.

YHC then called for a mosey return to the parking lot entrance hill and we got after 3 hill sprints up to the flag.

Honor to lead!!

Honoring all responders in the 9/11 attacks!

16 PAX got out this am and Honored those of 9/11 at Disney. We reflected on 9/11 and the rich history and heritage of FDNY. Truly sad that so many lost their lives that day. We honored them with our workout.

FNG: Welcome (David) TomTom

Warn Up: Had several pieces of fire hose that the PAX picked up. Moseyed to the end of PVA. SSH IC to 20. Good morning and cotton pickers all while I was giving facts of 9/11.

 

Workout: Moseyed over to PVA near football field. More 9/11 facts while we did squats, Frankenstein’s and we paired up for a patty cake merkins around PVA.

Next up we headed over to the side of the school. Here we learned that FDNY Ladder-3 lost the most firefighters assigned to this Fire Station. 27 was the number for wall sits and BTW. Moseyed over to the steps in the parking lot where I nominated Fanny Pack to pick 5 people. Once this was done we went up the stairs and moseyed over to the tennis courts. Here I had hidden 5 Scott Air Packs with the bottles. Those lucky 5 were the winners of wearing these packs the rest of the workout. This was to make everyone aware of what it takes to wear this for long periods of time…and we did not even have on any gear. Once everyone donned their air packs we moseyed down the stairs over to the High School Parking Lot. I had 6 sections of hoses. We broke off in 2 groups at opposite ends of the PVA. Exercises were done while the group pulled the hose to the end of the lot…there we switched up. Keep in mind that we were still caring the hose on our shoulders. We did 2 rounds of this and pulled all 6 sections 50’ long over to the Abyss. Here YHC had lights set up on the steps where we traveled them top to bottom and did exercises at the top.

 

Mary: We did several exercises all while learning facts of 9/11.

 

My message was it never gets old helping others. The feeling and reward are great. Those first responders responded selfishly to help others not knowing so many would lose their lives on 9/11.

In this job you have a sense of fulfillment & purpose. You have a higher purpose and you have stuck up for the people around you. You have served the richest and poorest. Seen people at their worst. Firefighting is really one of those egalitarian careers that looks out for all.

 

Bottom line I get paid to ride a Big Red Firetruck!!

Announcements: See Slack or FB

Prayers: Pots has a cousin needing prayers.

 

Thanks for allowing me to lead this morning.
