Moderate HIIT

Leave a comment

Back by (very) popular demand we headed to the football field where we ran sprint after sprint after mall walk. The pax selected pre printed instructions from the bucket of running pain and mostly Bass-O won the 100 yard dashes. No hamstring injuries. The watch said 2 miles. Then we retired to the COT but got in a few @airborne hip flexors before the rain came. We missed @rebel but I heard he doesn’t do drizzle.

I swear I didn’t stack the deck

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey around the lot, some SSH, Windmill, Moroccan Nightclubs and Walkers of both the Imperial and Hillbilly variety… then a mosey to the lower lot by the Church of God to get to some smoother pavement

THE THANG:

Standard Deck of Cards workout

♠️ : Squats
♣️: LBC (in cadence)
❤️: Jack Webb
♦️: Flutter (in cadence)

Modified:
Aces: Lap around the parking lot
Jokers: 10 burpees

Lots of mumble chatter throughout. Let me tell you that nothing makes you a card counter like knowing the K of Jack Webb, 3 Aces and a Joker are left in the dwindling deck! Got through almost the whole deck. Actually had A-Joker-A left at the end. Promise it wasn’t planned… I kind of wish it was

MARY: 30 seconds of Freddy Mercury to get to 0600

ANNOUNCEMENTS: There will probably be a Cannoli Run in 2024… Be ready…

100% started their day up 1-0

Konvergence for Kenya

Leave a comment

We converged on 6/10 to with a special weinke designed by the PAX of F3 Nairobi (but “may” have been augmented by Poppins…)
Weinke

Warm up
Various, but highlight was 150 SSH in sets of 50. #CrowdPleaser

Groups of 5
Indian Run
5 burpees by the guys at the back

Dora on the football practice field
50 burpees – bear crawl
200 merkins – bear crawl
200 squats – lunge walk
300 4-count mountain climbers – frog leap a partner

Lots of bat flipping on the 4-count of the mountain climbers and the frog leaping

The guys in Kenya average a 5 mile transit to and from the AO, so a group of PAX dutifully pre-ran and post-ran 5 miles after the beatdown. YHC took a bit of flack, because it was me that spitballed that idea and then did not pre or post run. I did bring my 2.0 to the workout to try to cover the fact that I wouldn’t be running extra, but to no avail. Badlands 100% called me out.

Welcome FNGs
– Dungeon Master
– V-neck

Pre-runners:
– Badlands, Poppins, Rolloff, Maximus, Funhouse, Sasquatch, Cyclops, Beaker
– rucking: Sprocket, NakedandAfraid
Post-run:
– Badlands, Poppins, Rolloff, Maximus, Funhouse
All running
– Gears

The plan was to raise $$ to purchase a vehicle for transportation of Nairobi PAX to workouts, supporting efforts to assist in community and coordinating donations etc. The need is tremendous and our financial support is magnified in Kenya.

As of this backblast, we raised $2620. I have no idea when you’re reading this, but you could possibly still contribute and Poppins may still have T-Shirts in the back of his vehicle: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-our-kenyan-f3-brothers?member=26869695&sharetype=teams

Announcements:
Q-School Wednesday 6/14 at Bushwood
The Fort Retreat 8/11-8/13 (Register now!)
https://criout.regfox.com/f3-him-camp

Safari (F3 Nairobi Nantan) facetimed in at the end to offer up a prayer closing out COT.

This backblast respectfully submitted by Band Camp
