Chugging $1 beers downtown

Leave a comment

WARMUP: mossy to parking lot across from Little Caesars. 10 windmills, 15 SSH, 15 LSS, 10 merkins. Since Bobber missed half of the warm up, we rinsed and repeated for him.

THE THANG: mossy to the first bar – Pint Shop – for some bar chugging pain. 5 rounds to complete a 1/4 of the Murph (5 pull-ups 10 merkins 15 squats). Run to Emmits, 1 round of 3 exercises (these 3 were repeated at all stops but with different number of rounds – 10 merkins, 15 squats, 20 LBCs). Missy to Armor artis for 2 rounds, mossy to Illumination for 1 round (3 rounds were called but due to high volume of mumble chatter reduced to 1 to avoid cops), mossy to Flower Bar for 2 rounds, lunge walk to FM eatery for 1 round, lunge walk to Hobos for 1 round. Run to intersection with 160 and do 5 burpees then run back to Emmits for 5 burpees. Rinse and repeat one more time then mossy to COT

We all enjoyed the beer chugging pain at each of the drinking holes in downtown. We even discussed opening up a college bar servig $1 beers in plastic cups as this would be a real $$$$ maker.

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
