Today’s F3 fitness adventure took a wet and wild turn as YHC bravely led 11 PAX through the second half of the GasHouse Relocation of Idiots. Huddled under the First Presbyterian awning, we faced the elements – a relentless 0.07 inches of 37-degree rain, making Tube’s position in the overhang opening a precarious one.

Following a respite from Shortsale’s punishing 30-minute beatdown, YHC unleashed the power of his 2.1’s Dungeons and Dragons’ Dice and 2.0’s Kettle Bell cards. The next 25 minutes became an epic quest, with each PAX rolling a 20-sided and 10-sided die to determine the exercise card number and reps. From coupon swings to merkins, American Hammers, Clean and Jerks, Halos, Shoulder Presses, and an abundance of mumblechatter – we faced the challenge with complaints and determination.

The soundtrack of the day, curated by YHC, featured an epic playlist of cold and ice-related tunes (Foreigner, the Rolling Stones, Tone-Loc) that eventually gave way to some questionable choices (Katy Perry, Rick James, Vanilla Ice). Nevertheless, the eclectic beats fueled our determination, leaving each of us stronger and perhaps a tad dumber than when we started.

Announcements echoed through the rain-soaked air: Whiskey Mill F3 lunch – seek Boudin for directions, and prepare for Pushing Rocks in February.

As we wrapped up, we lifted our intentions to the heavens: Prayer Requests for Turtle Man, Campos founder’s family, and special intentions.

Aye,

Hunchback
