Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Poppins started off with a quick warmup, 50 SSH, Windmills, Cherry Pickers, some other stuff, Plank, Merkins and some yoga stuff
THE THANG: I started it off with a mosey to the back playground where we did a crowd pleasing Dick Webb, got up to 8 RDS, then we did a quick tabata at the nearby park benches. Part 2 was Mainframe leading us to the parking lot in the back where we had to do a series laps around the lot with various leg exercises including burpee broad jumps and then a bear crawl and crawl bear activity from the lines in each space over to the line opposite side, 6 rounds.

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

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

hill loops with pavers

Leave a comment

WARMUP: mosey down David Gibson to nature trail entrance.
THE THANG: climb up freshly trimmed path up hill to middle school parking lot where coliseum meets. Split into two teams, 4 men each. Perform sighting lap of loop (for safety) before grabbing two pavers and racing around loop. Objective is to create tallest tower of bricks in time allowed. Halfway through time we reverse the direction of travel to gain a new perspective on the route. Sasquatch said it best when asked which way is the worst? His response “whichever way you’re carrying bricks is the worst”

DOAH Sweeps the Q

Leave a comment

YHC was scheduled to Q, but had some 2.0 troubles overnight… so Dark Helmet graciously picked up the pre programmed Q.

World’s Worst Suicide
Mosey over to GHMS rear bus entrance. Start at basketball court.
PAX will travel forward three light posts and perform 5 burpees.
PAX will then travel backward two light posts and perform 5 merkins.
Rinse and Repeat as needed.

Thanks to DOAH for the help. Below is his version of what happened… can verify.

13 of the faithful came to a YHC led
“@Punch List is here in Spirit” Q…
• @Solo gave up his executive suite at
Planet Fitness to rejoin us in the gloom
• @Joe Lyons (F3 Long Duck) may be old, but at least he’s fast
• @Cobra Kai may be old, but at least he’s slow
• @fishstix may be old..
.. уир
• @Ölaf won the Fireball trophy
• @Poppins and @Vuvuzela were the kings today… by a fair margin
• @Badlands can be slowed down by excessive Merkins
• @Cyclops may or may not have done all of the reps while calling out to his estranged pets
• @SouptoNuts got faster as the workout went on… or I got a lot slower… or both… (probably both)
• @trucker is like Craftsman tools.
Reliable and not prone to wearing out.
• @Flounder ventured out as a lone man to discover the new world… still made it back for COT

Punch List out.
