Today was more about the mumblechatter than the work, and that chatter was EPIC!

YHC posed the following: what is the largest animal could you beat in a fight and win 75% of the time? Surprisingly difficult premise.
Uber and Change Order: wallaby. Good choice. They’re like small kangaroos without the kick power. I think a few solid punches to the face and some kicks to the ribs would do it.
Smuggler: alpaca. Like a shorter llama, but more docile.
IJ: 85 pound penguin. Not fast and slow reflexes. I think a kick to the back and a few body blows would end it pretty quickly.

Change Order asked our spirit animals and why.
Uber: Arctic Fox – small, but aggressive. Cold weather climate. Fuzzy, not furry.
Change Order: Dolphin – loves the water, very social and likeable.
Smuggler: Panda – friendly, cuddly, but could separate your head from your torso if he needed to.
IJ: Golden Retriever – loyal, friendly, and very protective of my family. Takes a lot to bear my teeth but once I reach that point, I will bite.

Finally, courtesy of Smuggler’s higher ed patrons at a recent theatre show uptown: would you rather have a dragon or be one? We all chose have one. But what size? Dog sized, cow sized, or Game of Thrones sized? We all chose huge, like “The Neverending Story.”

Who is responsible if your pet dragon burns down the neighbors house? How would they prove it was your dragon? There’s no registration. There’s no legal precedent, so maybe it would be best if you moved to the country with your dragon where you could let him roam in peace.

And that friends is why you post at Alcatraz on a cold, windy Saturday morning. Proving once again that though we grow bigger, we never grow up. Enjoy your day, men.

Sergeant Major

Leave a comment

Started off the Pre-Veterans day workout with some standard warmup exercises:

11 SSH IC
11 Windmills (steady pace)
11 SJ IC
11 MNC (IC)
11 Merkins (IC)
Stretch
11 Mnt Climbers (IC)

Mosey to Mavis Brakes (this was a nice long mosey across Gold Hill)

Planked up and waited for the 6.

In Plank I talked about the next portion of the workout. Something I like to call the “Sergeant Major”

In short, the rep counts reflect the different units my Dad (a Sgt. Major) served in during his lifetime.

The workout for today laid out like this…

28 Burpees
3 Laps around the parking lot of the school nearby

28 Burpees
56 LBC’s
3 Laps around the parking lot of the school nearby

28 Burpees
56 LBC’s
112 HR Merkins
3 more laps around the parking lot of the school nearby

Whenever you finished you went and picked up the 6.

After this we mosey’d back to COT with a few minutes to spare

Led a round of Mary..

22 Flutters IC
22 HD IC
22 FM IC

Pusher quickly picked up on why the rep count for this last portion of the exercise. The point was made that our gratitude for our veterans should be equaled by our concern for their mental health and a desire to help them in any way we can.

COT was another great example of why we all joined F3 and still come back. What was said, stays there but it was a lot of what I needed to hear that day.

Men I’m extremely thankful for the service and sacrifices of our veterans (my Father and Brother in law among others…)

Hope the example of service and sacrifice continues to inspire and push us all to be better leaders in our communities and lives.

Take care,
