Day: June 19, 2021

About a million PAX gathered at the entrance to Stowe Park today for the three different workouts that were taking place in Belmont today. This is what happened…

Once we went our different directions, those doing the Yank and Bunker ended up at the Pit to do our warmup. Dirt led the portion and after about 100 SSHs we wondered out loud if it was his birthday or something. That’s when ole mild mannered Dirt started disrobing, only to reveal the F3 Honor shirt that was offered earlier in the year. This is when Dirt started singing Happy Birthday to himself. It was so hilarious we let him keep going with only minor participation. He explained that he’d been saving wearing the shirt until he actually turned 60, which is today. Happy Birthday Dirt!!!

We split up and the 5 HIM who stayed for the Bunker moseyed over to YHC’s luxury sedan. Inside the trunk was a plethora of tools that would help us achieve swolification. Bricks, kettle bells and plate abounded and of course there was the trusty JBL in the luxurious cabin, just waiting to be unleashed! UHC explained that his neon blue shorts and shirt could only mean one thing, 80s day! The playlist was awesome and not even one complaint was said the whole time. Mission accomplished.

Head over to the big concrete barricades for The Thang

22s – Do 22 reps each time, starting with 20 Derkins and 2 brick curls. Go back and forth by 2s until the numbers are flip flopped.

Mosey to the wall for some more rock pushing.

22s – Do 22 reps each time, except this time only change by 1 each time. Do 21 calf raises and 1 LBC. Alternate until they’re switched.

Fellowship mosey with bricks around the block to the street beside the railroad tracks. Lunge walk and at each parking line do 5 straight arm shoulder raises.  Head back to the Pit for the encore.

Dora 1,2,3

Partner up and do 100 CDDs, 200 Squats and 300 Shoulder Presses with bricks. Partner 1 exercises and partner 2 walks to the other side with the kettle bells and weights. Good stuff!

Mosey to the Yank statue to meet for announcements and prayer requests. See Dirt’s backblast for those things.

Thanks to HIPAA for extending the offer to lead today. Aye!

On Father’s Day Weekend, we welcomed the PAX and their 2.0s to “F3 Dads” at the Yank. There were 19 F3 dads, a whole bunch of veteran 2.0s, and even more 2.0 FNGs. The total was 56 for today!

Bubba Sparxxx kicked us off with the usual disclaimer, then we mosey’d up the hill to circle up at the Middle School field for a brief explanation from Nutria about what the 3 F’s are (kudos to the PAX whose kids knew them!). Next we jumped right in:

WARM-UP————————————————————-
SSH (IC), Merkins, Goofballs (IC)

THE THANG———————————————————–

“Kid Carry”
Carry your kids up the hill (as many hill reps as needed to get your kids to the top)
Kids do 5 Merkins at the top
Mosey Down, Repeato

Dads vs. Kids Races – from one side of the field to the other (the short way, which didn’t seem very short especially for the first race)
Loser of each race does 10 merkins counted by the kids, Lots of form critiquing:
– Race 1: Kids run, Dads bear crawl.
– Race 2: Kids run, Dads Nur (run backwards).
– Race 3: Kids bear crawl, Dads lunge walk.
– Race 4: Kids Nur (run backwards), Dads run….Finally!

“Family Indian Run”
Indian Run, but with kid/dad partners running together as a side-by-side unit. We made it at least one full lap around the track.

Circle up to hand out Nicknames to the 2.0 FNGs.

“Family Merkins”
Kids pile on Dad’s back. Dads then attempt Merkins, 10 reps

“Rock, Paper, Scissors” Run around and find a PAX or 2.0 and play!
Loser does 1 burpee each. Find another PAX or 2.0 and play! Repeato!

“Sharks and Minnows”
Line up on opposite sides of field. “Minnows” try to reach the other side of the field before being tagged by a “Shark.” Minnows that are tagged become Sharks in the next round.
Game 1: Dads are sharks, Kids are minnows. But, it only “counts” if Dads tag their own kids. After 3 rounds, there were a handful of kids who still hadn’t been tagged!
Game 2: Kids are sharks, Dads are minnows.

“Family Races”
Link up arms with your kids, and race the other families across the field.

“Kid Tricks”
Kids that volunteer to show-off (a cool trick, dance, cool move, or joke), get to send their dad running across the field and up the hill! Several Dads got sent up the hill as the kids were full of comedy gold:

Why does a cow shave? If it doesn’t, it’ll grow a Moo-stache!
What’s brown and sticky? A stick! Orange Man knew that one shouted the answer before Goofball had a chance to deliver the punch line. Nutria ran up the hill anyway.
Where do fish keep their money? At a riverbank!
Why do seagulls fly over the sea? If they flew over the bay, they’d be bagels!

There were more jokes than time, and Dads were getting tired of running up the hill. Good thing we saved this one ’til the end!
