Clyde in the dales

WARMUP: nope, just counted off. Then I promptly forgot how many we had. Luckily Anchorman remembered we had Repeat and that he peeled off early. Q-fail. Will learn from that.
THE THANG: ran – https://strava.app.link/KeQquGKGmvb
MARY: nope, just a pigeon lunge
ANNOUNCEMENTS: read the newsletter
COT: had to be there, it was more meaningful

First time to Q at Clydesdales or any running AO. Not my forte, but we made it work. Not too many actually made the route I drew up work, but everyone was generous about not letting me know.

Rain Rain Go Away!!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, Merks, Cherry Pickers, LBCs, Squats, Over-head Claps, and …..a slow mosey.
THE THANG: Multiple Pain Stations all completed in cadence- 3 sets at each location ( varying reps) – Pax took turns leading the cadence. Preceded by a skill challenge:
Free throws were mixed in for the Pax – Basketball and a Hoop at the Yard were made available for a random testing of the Pax skills at the free throw line.  Penalties for missed shots were Bigboys, Squats and Merks.  6 Pax shot – with only Dojo sinking the shot.  Penalty sets completed w some mumblechatter.
Mosey to the turf football field where Barry took the Q stick and led the group on a 100 yd scoring drive with only mins left in the beat down.  
A bevy of bear crawls and Toy Soldiers challenged the pax in the gloom! Nice work closing out the day!
These pax started their Saturday plus 1!

MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Skeet shoot sign up, blood drive sign up, bourbon tasting, and read newsletter!
COT:Prayers for health, healing, and Life’s lessons.

T E Y H R D A

Leave a comment

17 enjoyed my Q at the yard on Saturday Oct 22.

We stretched a bit at the beginning and then moseyed to start a Thang from a weinke I had done at the Yard three years ago.

Paired up

We ran to the back driveway and at each light pole was an assignment. Each pole had one letter of THEYARD, except for the excitement that the letters were out of order. You had to Jog to find the next letter. Lots of grumble.

T
Donkey kicks (10)
Merkins (10)

E
LBC (25)
Dying Cockroaches (25)

Y
Mountain climbers (25)
Grave diggers (20)

H
SSH (25)
Burpees (5)

R
Box cutters (15)
Burpees ( 5…yes more burpees)

D
Bobby Hurley’s (10)
Hello Dolly’s (20)

A
Squats (30)
Lunges (15 ea)

Overall I would say it was a big hit and everyone loved my Q. I’m sure I’ll be asked to Q again in the near future.

Just What the Doctor Ordered

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Short mosey to side lot for COP
THE THANG:
COP:
SSH x 20, merkin x 10, windmill x 15, downward/upward dog x 2, squat x 20, large arm circles x 20, small arm circles x 20. burpees x 7

Line up in groups of 3:
40 yd sprints with short recovery (5 reps) (take a 10 ct)

Mosey to the artificial turf for Jack Web (1:4 ratio, 10 reps). This was planned for only 7 reps, but Bowser and Ironclade pushed us to do 10. Well done, young men!

Mosey to the school building for several sets of people’s chair, wheelbarrows, lungewalk, crabwalk, and bearcrawl.

10 monkey humpers prompted by Uhaul who was rucking past the pax.

‘Secret Service detal’: around Uhaul for a bit as the pax moseyed back to the large parking lot for Mary.

MARY:
Freddie Mercury x 10, Boat and Canoe x 5, LBC x 20, Superman x 2, Body destroyer to close it out.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
F3 Charity Shoot to benefit Ft. Mill Care Center on Nov 11
Bourbon tasting to benefit Ft. Mill Schools on Nov 18
Please sign up if you plan to attend so organizers get a head count. Thanks to Change Order and Cyclops for their leadership and commitment to 3rd F.

COT:
Following a really crappy day at work, and a sleepless night because of it, today’s Q could not have come at a better time.
It was already scheduled several weeks ago, but perhaps a higher power was at work here, knowing that today was the day I really needed it. I knew I would feel better after some physcial exercise, but the pax who provided me with a laugh or kind word really put me back in the right frame of mind. At the close of COT, I felt 100% better. Thank you, men!

We had a great group today and the mumble chatter and jokes made for a really fun workout. It was a pleasure to lead the group as always, and I’m truly thankful for the pax of F3. I gotta give a shoutout to our juniors, Ironclad and Bowser, who are regulars at our Saturday workouts and are developing a really good habit for life. Keep up the good work, guys!

Prayers for the F3 Pax affected by the deaths or illnesses of mothers and grandmothers (Bassomatic, Boogie Down, Uhaul).

Prayers for my friend Joe with cancer and the continued recovery of my co-worker Justin (Covid). Traveling mercies for the several HS band students on the road this wknd for competitions.
