Busted Brackets, Dry Irish Stouts, and Something Cheaper Taco Bell

DATE: 2023-03-18 AO: Olympus Q: Krzyzewski PAX: flipper, mighty_mite, Pelosi, The Worm, Toto FNGs: None COUNT: 6 It was a clear, brisk morn with a soupçon of warmth. Fresh from a night celebrating the patron saint of Ireland, the Pax were feeling crispy and providing organic heat as needed. With nothing more than Joe Daniels’ rolodex of punishment and a wireless speaker, we rode off into the darkness primed for a beatdown.
WARMUP: SSH, 10x swings, prying squats, 10x swings, arm circles, 10x swings
THE THANG: #1 EMOM – Thrusters 2 e/s for 12x revolutions #2 AMRAP – Tyler’s W Complex – 6x 30 sec. each #3 Inverse Ladders – 7 merkins + 1 renegade row…to…1 merkin and 7 renegade rows #4 Somersault Squats – 40x #5 Carry Complex – Waiters, 20x swings, Suitcase, 20x swings and then repeat #6 EMOM – 5 rows + 3 half snatches (e/s) for 4x revolutions
MARY: As Dr. Hannibal Lecter likely said to his vegan patient, “unfortunately, we’re out of time.” No Mary today, but Radiohead took us out with “High & Dry” as we walked to the COT.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: No major events of note, except prayers for the Pax and nebulous hints of yet-to-be-planned blood drives sometime in the future.
COT: As per custom, we joined The Rock to take us out.
MOLESKIN: Great to see @Toto join in the fun today, but less great to see the lip caterpillar that @Pelosi was growing – YHC was assured it will be removed later today. @The_Worm and @Flipper regaled us with tales of Guinness-aided St. Patty’s revelry. Finally, @mighty_mite informed us of the culinary delights of Del Taco, while @voodoo was somehow heckled by The Rock without even being here for his alma mater’s poor performance. YHC stayed silent given whatever that was that the Heels did this season.

Bank run!

DATE: 2023-03-18 AO: Davinci Q: Odd Job PAX: Kaboom, midriff, Chopper, kirby, sabertooth, Palmolive FNGs: None COUNT: 7 WARMUP: SSH, IW, Merkin, Hindu Merkin, Runner stretch
THE THANG: Mosey to the cache of cinder blocks behind Target (thanks Midriff for reloading) for man makers, perfect form deep dip merkins (using cinder blocks to elevate), and Sabertooth’s insanely hard ROTC diamond merkin thing. More man makers to cash out, then run behind Target with squats at every light.
Mosey up heart attack hill to the playground. Teams of three, with one partner doing band assisted pull ups while other two partners alternated wheelbarrow runs. Round two was toes to bar + wheelbarrow.
Mosey to the lot behind the nail salon for some rock merkins and a remarkable amount of backtalk from the PAX. Apparently YHC needs to go to the upcoming Q school that @franky and @Rousey are setting up.
Mosey back to base for time.
MARY: Some big boy sit ups and LBC mixed in waiting for the six at various points, but the toes to bar was the killer.
COT: Kirby highlighted the valuable relationships and support we all enjoy through F3. Not everyone has this, but many need it. Get the message out. Prayers for Soft Pretzel’s friend who is struggling with illness. Thanks for the take out Kirby.

Skidmarks in the Country Club

DATE: 2023-03-17 AO: -Brave Q: midriff PAX: Hippie, kirby, Franky, soft_pretzel, fire_hazard, teddyf3, Olaf, Eleanor, Space Force FNGs: 1 Space Force COUNT: 10 Last night I put the choice to pax out there: parking deck, corporate park or country club. Country Club was the first choice so away we went. Move counter clockwise around the Country Club loop, stopping at the tennis courts (burpees, bear crawl, merkins, crab walk, lunges, bear crawl, mtn. climbers, crab walk), the golf cart tunnel (5 rock exercises), cul de sacs (partner merkins, burpees and bbsu’s) and two levels of a parking deck (jump squats, merkins) on the way home. It was a good time, and we hit 4 miles.
Hippie brought his friend Wes out, who aspires to join the Air Force, and whose parents both served in the Air Force. Wingman suggested Skidmark (which was his dad’s nickname), but Franky’s suggestion of Space Force won out. He crushed the workout and fit right in
