Baker’s Dozen at NeedMore Ruck!

FNGs:  TWO FNGs compliments of M4L!  Welcome Allen Duncan (50 Floors) and Ken Almonds (Nail Pouch). Sprinkler loved the leadership of Dauber bringing out so many PAX to this forgotten gem in FV!
Warm Up:  After F3 story and introductions and EC (nice work Nemo, Fanny Pack, Breach and Dauber) headed out.
The Workout:  Played the back nine this morning starting off on 9 and 8.  Headed to 1-7 remembering great shots from a long time ago including shots over the pond or a layup by the tree.  I had a tee time at 8:-4 at the Neuse and definitely had golf on my mind. Great mumble-chatter with all the PAX.  Got some grilling tips from Fonzie and shared some parenting advice with Cancun (I hope it was well-received). Stopped at Breach’s for coffee-teria. Thanks brother!  Just a beautiful morning with great fellowship.
Mary:  OYO
Announcements:  See Slack/FB. Get out to HS Food Cupboard on Th.  Ultimate frisbee on Mon at Ting.
T-Claps (Recognition):  All the PAX getting it done in the month of May – great numbers.  Keep raising each other up!  Also Cancun for bringing his adorable 2.0 baby boy out.  Loved hearing his cooing during the trek!
Prayer:  Sprinkler led us out – thank you sir!  Honored to lead! -Dauber

 

1st Monday Ultimate x2

33 Pax showed up for Ultimate under the Ting lights.  2 FNGs and several Kotters.

FNGs:

Mike Synnott; Olaf (Curling with Dauber, Ice, Frozen, Elsa!?!, Olaf!)

MJ Salamanca; Beer Pressure (Macho Nacho’s neighbor, Shredder EHed after a couple beers, Peer Pressure, Beer Pressure).

Warm Up:

Light mix of SSH, Good Mornings, HBs, IWs, SFAC, and Squated Morrocan Night Clubs.

The Workout:

Pax counted off by 4 and split into two teams.  1s and 2s on field 1 and 3s and 4s on field 2 for F3 style Ultimate Frisbee.  Every time the frisbee dropped Pax knocked out an exercise; merkins, burpees, squats, star jumps.  The scoring team called out the penalty exercise, which both teams partook.

Mary:

A couple more Good Mornings to stretch us out.

Announcements: 2nd F Panera, May Challange, Bed Builds.

T-Claps (Recognition): Lots of EC this morning & several Kotters (welcome back).

Prayer: Injured and sick Pax, our country, Pax leadership in the community, and a selfish request from YHC for God to fix the media!

The elusive albino deer

FNGs: none
Warm Up: SSH, IW, DP’s, Good morning
The Workout: 4 ruckers  + a 2.0 took off for a 3 mile route and some weight based walking.  23 ran 5+ through the Springs this am, with a trip up Elm and a short jaunt on Johnson.  A late pick up of Vasoline and a new route finally gave him the spotting of the elusive albino deer.  Now the real question must be answered…what’s Vasoline searching for now?  An albino racoon, possum, beaver?  Nice work today gents!
Announcements: Still time to get in on the May event, see Fanny Pack for more details…must have 4 PAX to enter.  Yogurt starting some new trail running, catch up with him for more details

Building B.O.M.B.S on the Abyss

A balmy morning at the Happiest AO on Earth. YHC wasn’t sure to expect with only 1 HC (U.T.I) and 1 other EC’er (Emeril). So to my surprise after getting back from EC…the whole Fritter Foundation and a huge clown car of 12 Oaksers pulled in! 17 Men gathered at Disney to take a ride to the dark corner known as “the Abyss”. I love this place!

FNG’s: none
Warm Up: SSH x40, Good Morning x a lot, 10 Burpees OYO, Windmills x 10, Sir Fazio’s x 12 (F/R)
The Workout: A mosey over to the Abyss, PAX partnered up for some BOMBS. 1 Partner descends into the darkness, completes 10 Star Jumps, while PAX on top do AMRAP exercise and then switch roles. Exercises were: Burpees, Outlaws, Merkins, Big Boy Sit Ups, and Squats. Plank hold for the 6.

We then moseyed over to the high school where a couple of divergent hills lay before us. At the meeting point of said hills, we did Shoulder Taps IC x10, and Hand Release-Release Merkins x 10 IC. We then used the same partner groups to run to the top of each hill, return, and meet in the middle where we did Shoulder Taps x10 IC as a team for round 1, then did the Hand Release-Release Merkins x 10.

3 Indian run lines back to the flag for Mary. Lot’s of picking up the 6…great work men!
Mary: Monkey Humpers IC x 20, Hand Release-Release Merkins x 20, Monkey Humpers x 10 IC, Hand Release Merkins x 10. Pickle Pounders x 10 IC, LSF’s x 20 IC, LBC’s x 20 IC, Homer to Marge x 20 in varied cadence.

Not Plenty of Stretching

I haven’t even been to Captain Caveman for about 6 weeks, so this would be a challenge for YHC to cook up a solid workout as a 1st time Caveman Q for the PAX this morning. Challenging yourself with something unfamiliar is a way we grow. Comfort provides for complacency most of the time. In F3…we seek to accelerate!

FNG’s: none
Warm Up: Bounce step followed by SSH x 20 IC. Sir Fazio’s IC x 10 (F/R), Foot Trace, Spinal Rotations, Neck stretch, Good Mornings.
The Workout: 50/10 Tabata 4 rounds with 7 exercises. Exercises were: Ballistic Curl, Grave Digger, Seated Shoulder Press, Plank Pull Throughs (Pikachu pulled it through right over his finger today leading to a bloody glove…ouch!), Rows, Warrior Squat, and Bow Draw.

We finished the main set with 3 minutes of Death March!
Mary: LBC’s x25 IC, Polish Hammers x 10 IC, Dying cockroach x 25 IC, Pickle Pounders x10 IC, WW2’s x 10. Finished with about 4 minutes of stretching.
Announcements: Yoga, stretching, rolling monthly challenge is on! Bed Build donations and effort on Slack. Volunteer opportunities at the Spring Classic.
T-Claps (Recognition):
Prayer: Spoken and unspoken…Lipstick took us out. Honor to lead men!

We did recover

6 PAX dodged the lightning to make it to an upper body, abs and stretching workout to propel them into the weekend. PAX did a great job recalling the mission of F3 and our core values.
