Dora The Explorer

A long way from home, and as friendly as could be 6 PAX joined together for the last session of beat down island style. JK2, Spakler, and Dream Catcher helped welcome 3 FNGs into the solution to the problem, we kept a strong watch for Swipper, but he never showed.

FNGs
Joe – Yogi Bear
Gordon – Fat Wood
Tripp – Peyton

Warmup
25 SSH IC
ARM CIRCLES OQ
15 PRAYER SQUATS IC
25 MORROCON NIGHT CLUBS
15 LBCs IC
15 MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS IC

Thang
In the lot we started with 5 Burpees on each parking lot island for a total of 6 stops, then from island to island on the way back we did High Knees, Karoke Left then Right, and Bear Crawl. Next we withdrew some cash with a round of ATM, before partnering up for the party. DORA would carry us through most of the remaining time. 100-LBCs, 200-SQUATS, 300-FLUTTER KICKS, while the partner ran a lap in the lot. No quality excursion would be complete without MARY, so 6 mins of Mary finished the THANG.

Frozen Murph (modified)

After YHC nearly missed the workout due to alarm clock malfunction (helps if you turn it on) and lots of mumble about too cold to be out here 7 #HIM posted on the ice at Martha’s House for a nice cold beatdown. But wait whats this – another pax jogs in from the cold – Stroganoff was here early and got in 3 miles of extra credit (Tclaps).

 

The warmup

20 SSH

20Squats

20 LBC

10 Merkins

 

The Thang:

Disclaimer reiterated and workout explained – we would modify to murph this morning.  Typical Murph is 1 mile run 100 Pullups, 200 Merkins and 300 squats followed by 1 mile run all down with a 20 lb weight vest.  Although it was tempting to grab Outhouse’s sandbags (NOT) this would be done without added weight. The workout would be divided  into 10 pain stations separated by approximately 1/4 mile mosey in between.  Exercises at each station were 10 burpees (OYO) 20 Merkins (IC) and 30 squats (IC).  Thus the pax covered nearly two miles.  Although the thermometer read 21 at the start no one was cold!  As always it was a pleasure to lead this fine group of men.

 

Prayer requests Whoopie test results, Outhouse’s moms

Here we gathered for a round of 11’s with Derkins and dips, with an Al Gore to wait for PAX to finish. Next, we did 25 step ups IC, and off for a 10 min mosey to keep the heart rate high. This finished us just in time for 6 mins of Mary, to complete the workout.

Finish with a COT and namearama where FNG received his F3 name Bo Jackson.  There was plenty of thanks and inspiration being in this beautiful place, FNG Bo Jackson, looking for prayer to help improve the work life balance and get back to the fun of owning a company.

The Delivery

It was a balmy 27 degrees as 19 PAX awaited to see what treasures the Freight would have delivered. Would it be 2 goats? Would it be delivered by Brownstreak? The suspense was intense so these PAX showed because they had to know! They came from far and wide by plane, train, boat and car. As the time edged closer there were mumbles of there really being goats as Boss Hogg rolled in with the trailer. When the clock struck the package was opened and what was inside? A good old fashion beatdown of course!

Coffeerama: 11 and a Happy Birthday 2.0!

I had a great time with the Q this morning gentlemen. As always it was an honor. I look forward to many more. EH somebody this week and let’s grow!

No Weinke

The forecast called for snowflakes but YHC didn’t see any coming out of the sky, only about 9 snowflakes that showed up mumbling about the cold wind and wanting to start the workout early.  Defib was named timekeeper for today’s workout.  After the Gashouse planning meeting, we were all asked what we were going to do to make the Gashouse stronger.  (Accountability) One of my action items was to check on the site Q of downtown, E4.  I did that and got a commitment that E4 would post at 0530, although he would be up since 0430 stretching his bum knee.  The original Weinke that I had planned out using Google Earth and measuring distances between pain stations was internally audibled to a more reasonable workout for someone with a bad knee.  Thanks goes to CSpan and Swiper’s Q-School for that tip.  I even had two extra pairs of gloves in case anyone showed up without.

Here we go with the warm up:

SSH x 32

Squats x 20

Don Quixote x 15

Announcements:  Buy your Backwoods Brawl t-shirt by February 10th.  Do it now!

Gastonia Rotary Club will host the Founders, Dredd and OBT on March 3.  Stroganoff and Dr. Feelgood are buying lunch for any PAX that attend.  I am a HC.  Community Foundation Run (formerly Run for the Money April 16, 2016)  A good time to show up and run for your favorite charity in a Backwoods Brawl t-shirt.  The soreness should be gone by then, hopefully.  Take your survey for the 2nd F activity from Godfather, aka El Padrino.  F3 Luncheon Jason’s Deli at the Epicenter today at 1130.

Prayer Requests:  A somber morning today for some serious concerns among the PAX. Prayers needed for Outhouse’s mother, who is diagnosed with pancreatic and liver cancer.  Feelgood’s 2.0’s lost a young friend (Tomas) to childhood Leukemia.  Dolph’s father who will undergo a hip replacement; Amelia lost his father.  E4’s former coworker in remission recently diagnosed with aggressive tumors.  E4 also shared a personal story…the moral is…make sure your family is trained on what to do in an emergency.  Have a safety plan and train on it.

It was great to Q this morning as I have to miss tomorrow for a 2.0 event.  Be intentional about reaching out to those that need F3 and follow through with your commitments from the Planning meeting.

Two Goats and a U-Haul

Season 1, Episode 1 (of 4)

Much like two men and a truck the goats of #GoatIsland were waiting for the PAX to arrive to get us moving. I arrived first and wondering which side of the island we was suppose to meet on. Sorry Bandit……

Dolph and Mayor was next and was excited about pulling the BIG tire (but not as big as the other one) from the bed of his truck. Maybe it was because they wanted to see if they could flip this one……. As the other PAX started rolling in the goats were getting anxious to reveal what’s in the U-Haul. The PAX was getting concerned we were doing something with the huge tire, but I eased their minds and told them not today. TIME…. YHC called it and we circled up…….

Warmarama:

SSH ICx25
Windmills ICx15
MRNC ICx40…..ish?!?!
Freddy Mercuries ICx15

Still not loosened up we took a lap (1/4 mile).

We met up at the gazebo. There the goats revealed what was in the U-Haul…….

THE VERN:
10 pull ups
Sprint 200 yards
20 dips
Sprint 200 yards
25 ‘Mericans

Pledge (sorry for not doing it first guys)

The two goats closed the door of the U-Haul and smacked hooves knowing the delivered a good one for us. I appreciate all the pax for allowing me to lead. You all are a fine group… Namaroma and cleared up the confusion of FNG names from Tuesday’s workout @ THE STORM……. He shall be called Private Benjamin. Thanks again for the chance to lead this group. Great work guys!!!

Stay tune and see what the goats have in the U-Haul next Thursday………
