Nomads in search of Fritters

/in /by

15 PAX, 11 for EC came out to support a few Nomads traveling to Southwake plus one local on their journey for the coveted Fritter.  All fritters have to come through Disney, so YHC decided to take the Q and show these Nomads how we do it in Southwake with a trip to the Abyss

EC: Particle Board, Borland, Full House, Garfield, Orphan, Katniss, Lucky Charms, Emeril, Dumbo, Dawgpound, Pablo

FNGs: None

Fritter: Borland, Orphan, Garfield, Full House (with Breathtaker!!!)

Warm Up: A warm-up jog around the soccer field.  Circle up for exercises in cadence: SSH x20, Imperial walkers x10, Hillbillies x10, Sir Fazio Arm circles x10F x10R, Good Mornings x10

The Workout: Quick count off then mosey to the Abyss.  Find accountability partner for a Dora 1-2-3 (exercises 100x merkin, 200x LBC, 300x squat).  Parnter 1 start the exercises, partner 2 travel down the abyss and do 5 burpees and back up to switch with partner 1.  Wash rinse and repeat until all exercises are completed.  YHC felt that we still had a few more trips up and down the abyss, so partner 1 completed plank exercises called out by myself or M4L while partner 2 traveled back down the abyss for 5 star jumps; wash, rinse, and repeat for 2 cycles each.  Regroup and head back toward playground/bathroom area for more fun.  Found a nice wall to rest our balls, so Partner 1 hold BTTW while partner 2 did 10 merkins, switch and repeat.  Then, Partner 1 hold BTTW while partner 2 did 10 count in cadence mountain climber, switch and repeat. Partner 1 hold BTTW while partner 2 did 10 shoulder taps, switch and repeat.  Then repeat all 3 exercises sets again but instead of BTTW, Partner held Peoples chair.  Once completed mosey to flag for MARY

Mary: All exercises in cadence: LSFx20, Homer to Marge x10, Box Cutter x 10, Pickle Pounder x 20

Ting Ramp EC: Nemo, Pikachu, Cupid, Yogurt, GoGurt

I must admit that I was a little overwhelmed to see the number of HIM that showed up today in support of my 2yr Anniversary with F3 – and this was only EC.  It was quite a light show pulling up right at 5:15 this morning with all those vests lit up, blinking away.  I can report that these vest contraptions really, really work.  As I pulled up just in time and had some preparation to do, I got to watch this awesome pack of PAX roll-out right on time and could see them slowly disappear over Bridgewater Short Hill (Strava Segment name BTW, I highly recommend Strava, it’s all the rage).  Shovel Flag planted, Nemo out ahead of me by a few minutes.  It’s going to be a great morning in the gloom!

What follows is a workout inspired by the workout Emeril put together as Q on July 24, 2017 – My first F3 Post.  They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and Emeril deserves some credit for this workout, it’s a burner as they say.  If you are a Facebook’er – Here is link to the BackBlast.

  • I showed up late this morning for EC, please correct me if I missed you…

FNGs: Too scared

Warm Up:

A moment taken by YHC to thank everyone for showing up and bringing such a large number of PAX to the celebration.  27!!!  Nearly got a Deadbolt sized crowd 🙂

Special thanks given the Thingamabob out of N.E. Wake, he had a 45 min drive this morning.  He and I used to work together and apparently I had EH’d him in conversation and he decided to post on his own at some point.  Great dude, hope you got a chance to get to say hi.

Also notable attendance by Emeril, Pikachu, BlueHen, Nemo, Patch, M4LIFE, and Yellow Card.  These guys were there with me on day 1 and showed up again today.  Noted regrets from Deadbolt, Roger Roger, DawgPound, and Slide Rule.

Equally present were many of my EHs from the last 2 years.  Lipstick (BREATHTAKER!!!), Straight Cash, Peeping Tom, and Tetanus

WHERE IS THE HOOK!!!  WHAT WAS THE WORKOUT!?!?  ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

We began with 20 SSH, 10 Windmills (1st 10 count offense),  YHC was still a little verklempt and had some counts that sounded like he was ending these 2 workouts a little early.  There was a quick little internal monologue and pep-talk (UTI you’re blowing it!) then we went on a Mozy towards the tennis courts.  Half way up the back stretch at Ting we went into a Carioca, switching half way past the tennis courts and continuing the rest of the way up the hill.  We rounded the corner and Mozy’d once again for a bit.  At the next tree, we met the sidewalk for Fast Feet until the next tree.  Back to a Mozy as we headed down the Ting Ramp for “The Workout”.  Squat Hold for the 6

Image result for verklempt

The Workout:

Pulled straight from Emeril’s cookbook – Pair up into partners for B.O.M.B.S  (50- Burpees / 100- Overhead Claps / 150- Merkins / 200- LBC’s / 250- Squats)

Partner 1 does a workout and works to complete as many as possible during the time allowed.  The time allowed is driven by partner 2 who is on the run from one side of the lot to the other.  Partners 1 and 2 switch out at the completion of each run and they work together to complete the B.O.M.B.S.  If this were a video I would be playing this section in timelapse cause it took a while to complete.  PAX picked up the 6 on these and helped the remaining groups finish out their work.  This workout was tough for me as an F3 newb and it was good to see that it’s still pretty effective on some of the experienced guys too.  Good feedback on this one.  Everyone seemed to feel they got their money’s worth.

Short/quick Mozy to the bottom of the ramp.  The rest of the time I diverged from Emeril’s recipe a bit.  His recipe called for partner carries and in the last 2 years we have largely moved away from them, past the injury record they have – I know no one wants to carry YHC (I was particularly sweaty today).  So, we stayed in our existing partnerships with partner 1 Bear Crawling up the ramp while partner 2 hung back and whipped up 3 Burpees.  Once said burpees were adequately whipped, partner 2 sprinted to catch partner 1 and they swapped all the way up to the top of Ting Ramp.  The original plan was to take these all the way to the tennis courts but time was almost up.

<Slashed out a small section of the original plan here for time.>  You know how in cooking you can just leave stuff out sometimes – dash of this, dash of that, nope don’t need that (toss it over your head without looking)…  Emeril knows what I’m talking about.  BAM!

Audible called to form 4 lines for Indian Runs.  From the looks of it, we ended up in 3ish lines of varying sized but it seemed to work well enough…  Indian Runs continued around around the tennis courts and back down to the basket ball courts for Mary.

All the while – we did have Peeping Tom (or PT as he’s known in Carpex) out on a run with Straight Cash to keep him company.  PT is still on the mend but they both made a point to be here on my anniversary with a modified workout.  Nice job men!

Mary:

10 Have A Nice Day (2nd 10 count offense), 20 Leg Lifts, 12 Freddie Mercs, 12 Homer to Marge, Pigeon Pose both legs, Runners Pose both legs, 20 Diamond Merkins (Lipstick ending strong with Breathtaker)

One more thing from YHC – Very happy to be a part of F3 South Wake.  It’s been a great 2 years and I’m happy to have stuck with it.  1st F was the hook and I’ll admit it took me almost my first year before I started to truly buy-in.  So happy to have gotten more involved in the 2nd and 3rd Fs.  Feeling alot of growth through F3 and very happy to continue that growth in the years to come.  If you’re new and this is still just a workout, you haven’t come to understand or believe that it’s more than a workout – hang in there.  It’s worth the wait.

Announcements:

  • Check with Skidmark – BRR Simulation will be in play next weekend, 3 mile runs scattered throughout the day to test your legs
  • F3 Dads Camp has some open spots – See M4L
  • Check the Slack and the Facebooks for more intel and other announcements.

T-Claps (Recognition):

Prayer:

  • Hit and run victim in Fuquay over the weekend.  Not a member of F3 but a reminder to wear your reflective gear on your runs.
  • Crablegs on his MLB journey
  • Quiver’s daughter starting school soon shortly after their move to South Wake.  YHC extended the prayer to all kids returning to school.  Being a kid is hard and guiding your kids through life is hard too.  Prayers to oversee the kids and the parents through these changes.

Is there a Big Dipper?

/in /by

EC: Redenbacher, Lipstick, Nemo, YHC

FNGs: Not today…

Warm Up:

The original plan was to endure the heat and do a simple out and back from R4TJ headquarters to TBD headquarters, see if we could do a fly-by and see some of those PAX out to be DETERMINED.  Slap some hands, some asses, and bring it back to R4TJ HQ for COT.  Then, even before we could start warm-up, I locked eyes with DawgPound and he was giving me those big puppy dawg eyes.  He wanted to run The Little Dipper…  How can I say no!?  There was some backlash in the ranks “Who’s the Q?”  I answered “Well, I am!” and justified that it’s running and I want to make sure that R4TJ is catering to the needs of it’s VIPs (which is anyone that shows up and has a voice – extra VIP status for ‘The DawgPound’ because is has a THE in his name).  Had he requested that we all start doing Merkins for the duration of the workout, I would have said “Dawwwgggg, Please!” but he only suggested a slight detour on our return route and we probably netted a bit more mileage which MADE US STRONGER!!!  But, I digress…

Frankensteins, Daisy Pickers, High Knees, Butt Kickers were our warm-up moves.  The last two were in motion towards the stop sign off the main drag into Ting near the construction.  We began the run from the sign.

The Workout:

A RUN!  It really shouldn’t surprise anyone, R4TJ is listed as a RUNNING AO on our website.  Not listed on our website is that we typically run for something closer to an hour end-to-end at R4TJ.  Lipstick and I will need to call on our resident web heads to fix that.  We’ve been living a lie…

We ran The Little Dipper for THE DawgPound as previously discussed.  It’s named for it’s shape, see this backblast for reference.  187 was fast to ask about the Big Dipper…  We simply don’t have one here in South Wake.  Maybe it’s because Holly Springs isn’t very big? Or perhaps we discovered the Big Dipper but called it the Little Dipper because we were hoping for more from a Dipper?…  Not sure…  Curious… Fascinating… Intriguing….  Dodo Birds?  OH, YEAH!  So we were running and it was really hot and steamy out this morning.  I don’t know about the rest of the PAX but it was a struggle today for YHC.  I managed to get back to HQ clocking in just over 5 miles (even with the slight short-cut down the stairs instead of going all the way to the light at Ting).

It is important to note that we had 2 visitors this morning

– Peeping Tom of Carpex was out.  Still a little bloody and bruised in places but getting out in the gloom from some walking and light running where his injuries would allow.

– Borland from Raleigh was present and accounted for as well.  Glad to have him out and in my corner to maintain order at the AO this morning.  Be glad some of you were counted, nuf said.

Mary:  Big Mary or little Mary?  Do not tell Big Mary, I called her Big…  It never goes well…

Thx for a late text from Lipton that alarm was set n syitg.. I always cherish my time conversation with this guy, man is regimented and buttoned up- texted Emeril if he can grab yellow card- of course he complained bitched n moan about getting no sleep but like always he did pick yellow car. Thanks
Pre blast n got some folks fired up/ scared but full disclosure- we were mostly using our feet- and YHC always loves Disney-
Pre Murph- with my man Lipton- he was waiting we chatted a bit and ask if South Wake was bringing beverages as part of workout?😉
Started the run and 1/2 way thru the great conversation YHC had to pull lipstick n go behind the bush-
Carried on with the Murph and some deep life conversation- very impressive to do pull ups while bar is swinging.

Sprung out of bed and was ready roll, and no better way than have the opportunity to have your teenager run into the workout. Would never imagine doing that in the past. So thank you to this amazing group of guys-#goobers/ #fritter
Yellow card and I had discussed the game plan for the workout. Had a friend drop a cooler- full of drinks ( water/ Gatorade) so yhc can take to workout but we were planning on running 3.6 miles from home front to PT, so that did not happen 🤪. Texted emeril to grab/ bring some water and of course he stopped and got some cheap ass water. Thank you
Parking lot was full and we rolled in right at 0523, rest of the 10 guys were just coming back from the EC run.  Thx, grabbed 2 tires and rolled them just like he use to back in the day, as a toy, all he could afford while in 3rd world country.
Set the stage/ tires- dawg # brought the rope( thank you). Dawg was very excited about carrying tires and ropes etc but he had no idea his perfect workout may not happen ..

Fartsackers: dumbo/ wacka wacka/ wallaby- pablo knew it would be a hard workout so he sent his M on a work trip – (great excuse).

The Workout:

We lined up went for a ‘burpee mile’ waited for the 6th ofcourse through the hood that we never visit and behind aviator etc. we never know, we may pick a guy up. We also did burpees in honor of Bernie, in front of aviator bar (that fun night after the ruck). Emeril announced that we were 20 mnts in and we did the count off, stove pipe thought 10 count.. but no No no, no 10 count, this is not a (DD) workout, so we did 5 burpees to punish our selves. We also did 5 burpees since dumbo fartsacked and 5 in honor of my good friend puddles.
Break off in group of 5, one guy pulled the tire/ carry the tire and flipped the tire, while rest of the group did Ab exersices.

You have a plan- You think things are set ( tires/ rope/ all the good stuff you asked for) and than someone takes you down a road where you have to do things that you hate( burpees)or do not like but you have to because you are dealt with those cards and you thought you had everything lined up. But guess what you are with a group of guys that every .10/ mile waiting on you cheering you on, looking out for you.. you take a longer road but you are a little bit stronger- storm of life has passed and day light has come, now go enjoy the tires..
For you dawg 😄

Always honor n fun to be with you guys

Skidmark was scared so he did the right thing by not posting in the gloom- Midget has been at this f-3 thing for almost 4 yrs now and 1st time been consistent with exercise. Thanks for this great group of guys that keep me motivated, engaged and accountable.

Pax of 20 showed up and Flanagan was looking for an easy Q by Dumbo but was told by UTI that Midget had the Q.
Disclaimer was read.

FNGs: Welcome Tetanus!

EC: M4L, Yellow Card, Emeril, Pikachu, Dawgpound, Cowboy, Pablo and Dumbo (rolled in hot at 0517 due to too much bourbon)

Warm Up: There was none.

The Workout: We took off right on time and carried on where we left on Saturday(Whiplash). Stopped at the first turn off at Ting and divided into groups of 4 for Indian Runs. 9 burpees were performed while PAX got in the 4 man Indian group. The goal today was to get to know the small group and what kind of impact f-3 was making in their everyday life. Each time we stopped, until we came to main event ‘Arctic cooler’, we did 10/10/5 (squats/hand release merkins/ burpees). There were 5 stops along the way.

We lost Dumbo and t-claps to Lipstick for staying with dumbo (too much vacation bourbon).

Main event was a 0.41 loop where 2 guys go in opposite directions and perform patty cake merkins when they meet. We did this until 6:17. Chips / Yellow card/ Banaseat/ Poponski called a few Ab exercises while we waited on the 6th.
Indian run with your group back to the flag-
