Fritter returned to Possum Trot

/in , /by

19 PAX, including 10 who are in hot pursuit of the coveted fritter, posted at Possum Trot for a beatdown delivered by the Fritter Foundation.

Fritter Quitters: None

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Lap around the tennis courts; circled up for SSH, IW, HB, Fazio arm circles, good mornings; I had to throw in some burpees to calm the mumble chatter

The Workout: PAX moseyed to the tennis court and lined up on one end. PAX were instructed to travel the width of the 4 tennis courts by broad jump, 5 star jumps, broad jump, 5 prisoner squats, wash-rinse-repeat until you reach the other side and squat-hold for the 6.  PAX then traveled back to the start across the 4 courts with the Obama (named after the 44th president) 4 steps in bear crawl followed by 4 merkins, wash-rinse-repeat until you reach the other side and plank-hold for the 6.  PAX loved these so much, we decided to do it again but had to limit each to the halfway mark to save on time.  Once complete, PAX traveled to the concession stand via Indian run for more fun.  Half the pax held BTTW, while the other pax did an exercise, then switch.  (exercises were 1:step ups x10 each leg, 2:bulgarian squats x5 each leg, 3:Erkins-Derkins-Dips x5 each).  Half the pax then held People’s chair while the other half did exercises, then switch. (exercises were 1:American Hammer, 2:Mountain Climbers).  PAX then indian ran back to the courts for Mary.

Mary: Plank-O-Rama until time

Announcements: Picnic- check slack

T-Claps (Recognition): Sunshine- strong first week!

Prayer: Kevin, Heidi, Warbucks, Woody’s son traveling, First responders and military

/in /by

Day 2 of the Fritter Challenge and YHC had your Q.   10 guys started Day 1 yesterday and the same 10 guys showed up for EC.   @Pikachu, @187 and @Skidmark took off a little early to get in 3.   @Breach, @Dumbo, @Cupid, @Pablo, @Dawgpound, @Emeril, and a late arriving @Lipstick got in our 2 miles.  @Redenbacher and @Full House joined the 2 mile group and @Beer Pressure showed up for the Main Event.   YHC was wondering why @Full House missed Paradise City yesterday and found out that Pickle Tickle won out hence his Fartsack.

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Jog around the track with stops for SSH, Good Mornings, Booty Bops, Foot Trace.  YHC explained the concept of the workout before we started but in hindsight probably could have run through a couple of rounds before he sent everyone off in their pairs.  Some mass confusion at the start but everyone eventually got on board.

The Workout😐

Both Partners perform KB Exercise.  One partner then jogs to midpoint of the track while the other partner carries both KB’s.   At center track is a list of Core exercises.  Partner 1 performs the Core exercise until Partner 2 shows up.  Partner 1 then takes the Bells while Partner 2 performs the core exercise.  Stops once Partner 1 gets to the Maces.  Partner 2 then jogs to the Maces and they perform the Mace exercise together.D o same KB carry back to mid- track and get back to the KB exercises.  Keep repeating until done.

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! 🇺🇸
