Moleskine: I leave for years and this is one of the few places I can come back and everything is the same except for my training. Same amount of refuseniks, and definitely the highest amount of methane in the A51 region. I finished it off as champion putting Spackler in the car after he chewed on one. Good Hands, Puddin Pop, and Stone Cold had a moment together watching a shooting star with Stone Cold asking the boys if they saw the shooting star, telling them to make a wish, and Puddin saying in his best 7 year old voice…”I just did..” Pretty cute.
I did miss my little English Bulldog but I’m sure he’ll be back in top form when I come back next month. Big Top was a great partner and we enjoyed working with Blazing Saddles in the sidecar doing his own thing with the sandbag that he had to carry by himself all the way there and home with no complaints. Good job Blazing, I worked on getting you out there for years and now you’re a regular and I’m trying to come back.
Good to see all of you monkey humping, merkin wearing #HIM’s. Sign up for the XMAS Party and more details coming out for the Turkey Bowl.

Moleskine:
This was a humid morning for such a workout. Pretty good group of pre-runners and I am certainly impressed not only by the endurance and strength but also by the ability to wake up at 4. Smokey was killing it on the 100 rep circuits and runs, might be time to upsize that bell sir. I haven’t done doubles in a while and they are awesome. Double cleans were my favorite and double swings my least. My partner Witch Doctor was a beast swinging those doubles and I should step up and get a real KB like his 24kg competition bell. The misshaped 50 that I offered wasn’t helpful to our team balance. I almost went out with the first ever merlot spill due to a bug to the back of the throat. You know your true friends when you’re coughing and gagging and they are still talking trash. Thanks Bulldog, and it was not a cicada. Stone Cold asked if I was ok but I could still hear him laughing at the same time. Apparently eating bugs doesn’t faze Tackling Dummy as he nonchalantly said he had just had one and it had no effect on him. Thanks to Harley and Fletch for letting me lead at A51’s hardest workout Skunkworks, not Kevlar. In my haze on the way home I tweeted #F3Kevlar because I still didn’t even know what day it was after the workout.
Announcements: Pool party $10 a family with a pig. Bring a desert and BYOB. Check the site for more details. Other things were said but you had me at BBQ, Beer, and Pool party.
This was a simple plan to test overall strength and fitness, outdoors, with a rock and some rock and roll.
AMRAP:
30 Merkins
30 LBC’s
30 Thrusters with lifting rock
30 Curls with said rock
30 tri extensions with rock
Run a lap
Moleskine:
Good times out there this morning. I am impressed that nobody spilled merlot as I felt that I got close. The plan was to get a total body workout with legs, abs, chest, tris, bis, and what we could hit on back with thrusters and merkins. As it always does there was not much mumble chatter until we got towards the end and delirium kicked in. Funniest comment of the day, and I’m not certain who said it, was why would I want to see Axl Rose live, that’s just a fat Axl Rose singing to a fat me. Thanks for letting me lead fellas, and signup to Q Dromedary on signup genius to get your payback.

Moleskine: I believe this was my VQ at Hydra, if not it’s been years. I had a plan to run and to hit a total body workout, details were TBD but I think we got there. I knew we would need to keep it moving when I saw the cast of characters I was dealt this morning. A fit and eager bunch… This site is really strong with so much to do and endless opportunities on and off campus. I look forward to coming back and adding back to my rotation. Thanks to Good Hands and Puddin Pop for having me and hopefully I can get in the mix on the Q rotation as well. Props to Queen for getting out there on the runs and doing the fastest 100 lunges….ever. Buttermaker made sure to get his reps in and may be a little suspect of the group as a whole on finishing their reps which is always the case. Harley called me out on the final 40/40/40 asking if I was running a 4 corners offense which took me a minute due to O-2 deprivation…yes, yes I was. When I sent off the MOM in rotation I expected more of the Pax to give more than a 10 count and it bit me. Nice work fellas.

Moleskine:
Great group and great weather for a workout this morning. I had 9 sandbags and was planning for 18 max pax but of course we outdid ourselves. Quick audible to 3’s and we were off. There are some super fast and super strong guys out there and some of both! Hopefully all have the sand out of their eyes and ears by now and where ever else Turtle may have got some. Backsplash set the tone early for our squad in a full sprint with the sandbag, and there were reports of Doc McStuffins running a full lap with a sandbag and not being threatened by Good Hands and Rockwell. Some of the groups were more or less efficient making it 3 legs per lap. Thanks to all of you fellas for coming out. Welcome to Kevin who was named “Princess” but the conscience of our site, Bratwurst, offered up Vizzini which is a less harsh name from Princess Bride. Keep coming back and spread the word.
8 ninjas showed up for a workout that Diamond Dave would be proud of.

I knew early that I would need to work hard this morning as we didn’t have a big bunch but we did have a fit bunch. The hills and dry docks set the tone for me and heated up the legs pretty well for a legs and abs intensive workout. Veteran and chatty group for sure. Rhapsody was killing it out there. He has fully recovered from whatever got a hold of him and then some. Beast. Orange Whip, Squid, and Pop Tart meant business as well. Horsehead and Simba made sure to remind me how much they have missed me this far north in an insulting and backhanded sorta way. I hope you boys have a nice break and thanks for showing up!

Moleskine: chatty group with limited attention span which must be from city water. Don’t have as much prob in U-Co workouts. Savvy veteran move from the overly trusted Header this am. Dollywood was crushing his group on the lap runs until about 2/3 the way in, after ample sandbagging Header decides to go all in with one hard run and make an obvious scene to gain attention as the winner. lesson learned Dollywood. Great to see Robinhood out today, much respect! Sorry to surprise the group with the Q but Good Hands gave it up with a “sore back” which rhymes with “fartsack”. I may have smoked myself as I’m not as consistent as I should be but hope you got your money’s worth.

Moleskine: The tone was set early by Snowflake who meant business so much so that he went kamikaze and took himself out. Pax relaxed thinking we may have dodged a bullet on this warmish morning only to be sideswiped by Crabcake. We kept moving with lots of reps and more burpees than this guy likes to do. =>1
Flipper and Landshark continue to impress by showing up and working hard with their pops, Old McDonald.
Found out that Frack only works out about 11 times per week which is about 11 times more than the national average, maybe he should change his name to Freak? Glad to see some of the old guys and new out in the gloom and big thanks to Crabcake for jumping in. Prayers out to Snowflake and all the boys from Shop Dog. BTW Shopdog is going to be smoking some Q, byob, and watch some hoops at his place on Saturday afternoon… reach out to him if interested. Sound off on anything I missed.

Nice group of F3’rs today. Big props to Flipper and Landshark for joining the big kids at recess this AM. As you may have noticed I wanted to move it around this morning. We knocked out 300+ Merkins and 2.5 miles. Good work. Enjoyed seeing everyone after a couple of weeks DR.
