Bagpipe Team 2

Bagpipe numbers have gotten so high that a primary and secondary Q are assigned.  With 35 it was decided to split the group.  This is what group 2 did.  10K Merkin Challenge began yesterday.  As tweeted by Tiger Rag, “The plague touches all, wanted or not.”

During the 1st hold the pax were asked about the F3 vision.  T-claps to Wild Turkey for answering correctly.  Invigoration of male leadership in the community.  Done through planting, growing, and serving small workout groups.  During 2nd hold, SOBs were asked to bring 100% fruit juice for the Calvary Church Food Pantry Drive to be collected next Tuesday 06/09/2015.

Burp and Merk 

Burpee with 1 merkin.  Burpee with 2 merkin.  Ascend merkin number by 1 to 10.

Sprint 2: up entire level (2 decks)

Sprint 3: to top (3 decks)

Mosey back down the deck to entrance and out of deck to Vine launch lot.

Moleskin

334 merkin.  2.33 miles mostly in the deck.  Increasing distance uphill sprints to close it out.  That workout got the job done for YHC.  If you are not doing 10K merkin challenge it may have been a little heavy on the merkin.  Heck, even if you are doing it, that is a lot of merkin in 45.  However, YHC hears Lobsta Roll laid down 550 on the Matrix pax yesterday.  Tried to balance in a fair amount of running and sprints.  All pax worked hard.  Pebbles, Mic Check, Dear Abby showed some fast twitch today.  Mic Check giving lessons on merkin form if anyone is interested.  All the way down and all the way up.  Welcome back to Yinzey who has been on the DL with a busted up knee.  Glad to have you back among the pax.

Great job today men.  A pleasure to lead a strong group of SOBs.  Please think about the F3 vision and how you can invigorate male leadership beyond just showing up and working out.  Can you do more to make our community better?  Please start by bringing 100% juice next week for the Calvary Food Pantry Drive.  Thank you.

Calvary Church Pantry Food Drive

At the Christmas party last year we collected food for the Calvary Church food pantry.  There was quite a need at the time.  They were very happy and thankful to receive our donations.  The pantry is again in need of donations to continue the outreach of providing food to those in need in the Charlotte area.  YHC is asking for participation of other A51 AO’s.  The more participation, the more food we can get to those who need it.  Each AO will focus on collecting one of the 7 items listed below.  Site Q’s, please contact me at f3mermaid@yahoo.com or sound off below if your AO will participate in this effort AND indicate which food item your AO will collect.

1. Canned roast beef, canned salmon, canned ham (5-13 oz) 2. Canned vegetables (NO CORN/GREEN BEANS) 3. Grape jelly (plastic jar only) 4. Canned fruit 5. 100% fruit juice (not fruit drinks) 6. Cookies, granola bars, breakfast bars 7. 4-6 pack pudding packs (not refrigerated)

Please HC quickly so you can inform your pax of the need next week at your workout, issue challenges, and employ whatever creative methods you can think of to encourage a donation.  Food will be brought to workouts the week of 06/08 to 06/13.  Each site will need one pax to collect and store the items.  YHC will be in contact for pickup or schedule a drop-off day/time.  Pax who are not site-Q’s: consider stepping up and taking the Q for a site you frequent.

Thanks men

Ultimate Challenge Mud Run (Fall 2015)

Ultimate Challenge Mud Run is on for 10/24/2015.  This is a daytime obstacle course run in Gaston, SC.  Further details will follow.

Start working on getting your 4 man team together now.  We had solid A51 participation in April.  We want more A51 guys for the October race.  This event is considered the “Super Bowl” of F3. Nowhere else will you get to experience 1st, 2nd, and 3rd F with your F3 A51 brothers and PAX from other regions.  It is a blast.

Not sure you want to do it?  If you can make it through a typical boot camp workout you can get through the Leatherneck.  Get dirty men.

A Good Workout

Written by Mermaid on behalf of Lobsta Roll

Shovel flag flying.  Pax gather around.  Pleasantries exchanged.  Lobsta Roll opens with, “I am Lobsta Roll.”  Gives a quick disclaimer and closes with, “We will get a good workout today.”  PAX had no doubt about that.  Off we went.

Mosey around a few of the expansive lots.  Circle up.

YHC EH’d a few PAX he saw on Tuesday in Ballantyne for Lobsta Roll’s Q.  Champagne was hesitant due to the schedule for the rest of the week.  He may have intel on Iron Horse’s weinke for Hydra on Thursday.  Painful workout today.  Great job by the PAX to push through it.  T-claps to Lobsta Roll for another strong Q.  #ISI

Glad to see Lorax come back out to Anvil.  Tough one for second post at this AO.  You may see the theme at Anvil already.  Tough workouts and a solid crew who pushes each other.  Every week. Come on back next week.  T-claps to Voodoo who has attended 2 other burpee-heavy workouts in the past few days.  Fairly certain he has a strong distaste for the exercise.

Mumblechatter was around the pain.  225 total Burpee. Strong takeout from Young Love today.

Centurion was YHC’s first post just over 2 years ago.  Cut my F3 teeth on Chelms aka Tater Tot Q’s.  Appreciative of the leadership at this AO and within F3.  Pleasure to lead this group of men in a birthday beatdown.

Notes from the field:

Spasmo Spartan Burpee was best YHC could do to properly name a churpee.  Thank you for the demonstration in COP Chelms.

Restrictor plate repeats at Palatine were included to provide a race-type set.  We all know Chelms enjoys them.  It was noted that Chelms likely is the all-time leader for false-starts, hence the merkins to start.  He still started ahead of the call on set #1.  Always ready to go.

Restrictors changed hands several times.  YHC, Dory, Pebbles, Brushback x 2, Brisket, Chelms, Purple Haze, Scabby (x2?), Teddy.  Probably missing a few names here.  Pax were flying.  Group was staying close.  Scabby almost won a round with a restrictor.

Brushback always flies on sprints.  Even after a vacation (taper) with the M in the Keys.

Teddy is always fast.

Margo and Scabby ran in and back.

Dory was Larry Bird on some of the repeats and on both of the bench set combos.

Mary was a little tough.  That was a lot of reps.

Great to see Abacus who has been spending most of his free time with his calculator and tax forms.  Still crushing it out there.

Pebbles, Margo, Cane, Garbonzo, Red Rocks, Beaker, and Heartbreaker brought the A-game and made it look easy.

Great work men.  Thanks for coming out.  Thanks for takeout prayer in BOM from Chelms.

Announements

Blades of Glory has been released from the hospital.  Back on his feet.  Thank you to all who lifted him and his family up in prayer.  Please continue to do so.

Madame Tussauds asked YHC to substi-Q the Brave this week so he could rest up a tad for the Battle Frog.  Good luck brother and good luck to the rest of our F3 guys and all participants for a safe race.

YHC saw this as a great opportunity to slap a headlock on Sacagawea for his VQ.  His first response was that he would “consider” it.  OK, that is not a “No.”  Cane lightly prodded him with, “I hear you are Q’ing the Brave Friday,” on Tuesday.  Still not a HC.  Obviously, he came around and jumped on board.  YHC knew that intervals with very little rest were on the weinke for the 2nd half.  The first 30 minutes was a good warmup.  The second 30 minutes of interval work hurt.  A lot.  Not only did Sacagawea jump on board, he prepared for his VQ.  Preparations included using Google maps to identify distances in the parking lot and application of a projected average pace to dial in  the difficulty and limit the rest.  Well planned and executed.  Great job on the VQ.

Great crew of men out this morning.  Handy Manny was site FNG.  He crushed it.  Some fast guys out there today.  Frasier and Sacagawea were out front on the sprints.  Dory, Wingman, Big Tuna, Wild Turkey pushing hard in group 1.  Hard to keep track of group 2 as O2 deprivation was high and sustained.  Heart rate was elevated and stayed there for the interval work.  Awesome work by all PAX to power through this painfest.  T-claps to Hops for his very clear reminder to make sure to identify Champagne as the War Daddy today.  Followed up by a tweet.  He was pretty excited about that.  Such a pleasure and honor to lead the PAX.

YHC took us out in BOM.  Prayers for BOG and his continued recovery.  This week has been tough. The good news yesterday was awesome.  Thank you to all PAX who prayed for BOG.  Please continue to do so.

Good work by all today–fantastic weather.  Great privilege to lead the PAX at Anvil.  Brought out the Merkin Ladder at Hydra a few months ago and the response was so overwhelming that YHC saw fit for a return engagement.  Same enthusiastic response here!  Thought about doing that in cadence, but that would have been a mistake (70 burpees in COP were probably a mistake also–getting a bit of shoulder quiver while typing).  One perk of advanced age is that the PAX is much less likely to curse you to your face during the workout.  Kind.  Wheezing in COT messed up recording quality for name-o-rama.  Missing 1 PAX.  Please sound off.  Takeout by IH.

COP hurt bad.  Stone set hurt even worse.  NF sprints with ascending burpees was the ultimate closer.  Perhaps a new #F3Anvil tradition to close with?  As always, Lobsta Roll put together a strong Q that did not disappoint.  Good crew at Anvil.  All PAX pushing hard to get through this smoker.  Great to have Puppy Love join us as site FNG.  Also great to have Cane back in action as he has been recovering from an injury.  Thank you to Young Love for a very meaningful takeout today.
