8/20 /21– Always fun with Deadwood on Q….and it looks like he”almost” made himself puke. Welcome back to The Swarm to Dunkin
Today at Blackhawk was all about Elmers! Along with Chatterbox, he has made the most strides from where he was at Day 1 up until now– that I have witnessed since joining F3 over a year ago.
You crushed it today Elmers…and motivated everyone to keep improving.
We had a group of Gazelles today–Gerber, Bottlecap, Dasher— along with Chicken, Elmers, and YHC,
Great job to all!
Special shoutout to our brother Chicken who had a rough week as he had to deal with a catastrophic event at work— We all know, if anyone is able to handle this type of thing with grace and respect, it is Chicken.
Then Chicken to us out–reminding us how precious life is,,,,and how the support of your brothers in crucial.
Every AO has their regulars and that is needed…but its always great to see guys posting at places they haven’t ever posted or it has been awhile since they last posted…..so KUDOS to Judge Smails, Lambeau, and Ghosted. Not to mention, you all came ready to work!
The Thang: (Gotta keep this BB short today—–here I go)
Pretty typical workout–Gave DICCS–did a warmup mosey—some stretching and we were off. Did some running to the Baptist Church and started with each pax Planking and doing Merkins off the Plank—-then Squats—-then we ran to the Lutheran Church and did 15 squats and back to the Baptist Church for 15 merkins—rinse and repeat 3 times. Ran to the Swimming Pool Parking lot for 3 rounds of Starfish abwork and finished up with a give it all you got on KJH.
Moleskine:
Pax came ready to work today….
This happened: Ice9 dry-heaved at the end. (I think Zins weighted vest he borrowed help with that)
Just a few shoutouts: Zinfandel wearing the weighted vest getting ready for the Murph! Outstanding! Judge Smails and Ghosted practically sprinting together up KJH…..keep coming to Floater.
Lots of funny conversations and one liners from the typical crew—-thats what makes it worthwhile. Love the comraderie of F3….thanks guys!
Announcements :
Murph is Monday—If you have any contacts around town that can help donate food, drinks, anything else to the Murph—contact Chicken Little
Dasher introduced an SOB event (Similar to WTF) which will be held at the end of August called the Crane Relay—more details to come from Dasher as he receives them from SOB…..
069 made a great point of reminding pax to continue to wear reflective gear and headlamps
Zin mentioned F3 Dads on June 5th—starts at 9am for a fun workout at Briarcrest-Swimming afterwards.
Also on June 5th at noon is the Beer Run in E Charlotte (Plaza Midwood) Hit 6 or 7 breweries….Definitely just a mosey pace for the running…..will be a great time.
June 19th—Blooddrive!
Wolverine on Q….modification of typical Swarm workout because of WTF the next day.
Its Spring Break! The kids are ready to go have fun……So this BB will be Short and Sweet.
The Thang
Quick version—-We started with some intense merkins, air squats..and rifle carrys etc……..moved on to partnering up for 150 Curls, Overhead Presses, Chest presses, Squats …while the other partner–you guessed it Rifle Carries….Our upper body was toast. We moved on to some more exercises and Centerfold said “Sugar Daddy if we do more rifle carries I will shoot you with the rifle”…that was the “nice” version…….so guess how I ended the workout????????
Moleskinny
With only 6 pax it was a great time to let loose and have some fun–and get a tough workout in…. Mumblechatter is one of the great things I really enjoy about F3…today the Pax were funny, working hard and having great fellowship! Thanks to Centerfold, Brutus, Elmers, Mayhem, and Chastain for the laughs! and getting the weekend off to a great start. Awesome effort today by everyone!
Prayers:
Mayhem-possible company switch—interview’s today
Good health for Centerfold’s Mom…..
Continued fellowship today at Stacks with Centerfold and Mayhem—-great guys!
Announcements:
WTF is May 1st
Great morning of camaraderie….When I joined F3 last July I watched a 90 second video of Dredd explaining in brief terms the concept of F3… He described the “2nd F” as the “Glue”. (Fellowship- Consistent Male Friendship)
Today, I really saw that concept in action. This was my first time attending NW…. I have read how it is a great way to get to know your “brothers” better and have meaningful dialogue. All of that is TRUE…plus just a good time!
It was fun learning a little about each person there….the hour flew by…amd really you just skimmed the surface….The fellowship is great…the needling is fun….laughs mixed in with a little serious conversation.
I will keep this short and say I truly enjoyed today…I highly recommend it….This is is a great format. I look forward to doing it again and if you havent tried NW yet….give it a shot! F2 is real.
