Day: January 27, 2024

The Goat was Closed

The Goat was closed. Well the park was anyways. No problem we still got in plenty of work regardless. We warmed up then some ran or rucked while the rest of us ran up a long ass hill to our workout destination. We did an escalator – de-escalator workout. We did a bunch of Jungle Boys on the way back. My knees have paid the price ever since. By this time the run/ruck crew caught back up with us just in time for the COT.

TIME

Pledge, Praise, Prayers

2nd F at Floyd and Blackies after we finished

This was another 1st time Q for me. BIG Thanks to all who showed up.

Folsom 1/27/24

Rolled in a little early to gather the blocks and make room in the lower shelter.

Ponyboy and Westside got there early as well to get in some EC.

Bedpan and Oompa ran the whole time and joined for COT.

0630 strikes and time to start, 9 HIM’s are there for the fun times.

Warm up:

SSH IC x 10

Gravel pickers IC x 10

Mo rocking nightclubs IC x 10

The Thang:

Grab a block and head in the shelter.

With the Block, we will do 25 to 1 with Leg and Core work between each round.

Block work: Curls, Tricept Ext, Thrusters, KB Swing, Bent Over Rows

Leg work each round was 20 each of: Squats, Lunges, Step Up’s and Calf Raises

Core/AB work each round was IC x 20: LBC’s, Flutter’s, Freddie Mercury’s

We worked hard and listened to the best of 80’s Big Hair Band music. YHC’s choice.

COT:

Encouraged each PAX to pick a word for the year and put it where they will see it and try to make it apart of every aspect of their life.

Many prayer requests

We did the pledge and Westside took us out.

Sarlacc Out

We are F3!

It was a solid workout and we did some hard things, but most importantly, it was yet another reminder that being a part of F3 surrounds you with some pretty amazing HIMs.  Thank you brothers!

Never got a name

We had four for five miles of EC.  Stroganoff expressed shock that Maybelline was on time for the EC.

We returned to the Gashouse as the PAX were assembling for the Painlab or Gashouse beatdown and Dolph was there with his 2.0 Dijon.  Great to see the legend himself looking as jacked as ever.

YHC warmed up the group and then we split.  The Bootcampers pledged at the flag and then moseyed up to the business park for some work.  We did some Broga at the bottom of the hill and then hit a jailbreak to the top of the hill.  Let’s just say, Dolph hasn’t lost a step, Wojo is a bolt of lightning, but Dijon looked like Usain Bolt.  #Humbled

We moseyed back during recovery for some partner 100 merkins as fast as possible and then went up again.  We did some bearcrawls and then one minute of tic tac toe.  We used the parking line to imagine a hashtag and jumped in a pattern for one minute.  The coordination required to do this must be too much if you are over 25 I guess.  It was a debacle.

We then moseyed to the back of the library for some Dora.  YHC was getting crushed by the site Q because we were making it up on the fly this morning.  50 burpees, 100 merkins, and 150 squats with one squat jump at the top.
Then lunge walk up the side of the library.  Wojo came back to life on this one.

We then did a relay plank sprint across the traffic island near the book return, followed up by a three minute wall sit that went over real well.

We moseyed to the pharmacy for MARY while PAX ran around the building.  We were going to mosey back to the start but Dolph called Jailbreak at the parking lot and so the PAX returned a couple minutes early.  We held a plank and started COT while we waited for the church bells to ring, signaling the end.

It was a good old school beatdown with good mumblechatter.  In spite of the heckling for not having a weinke, hopefully the delivered beatdown was acceptable for all who chose to come out.

Announcements:  Pushing Rocks starts this Thurday.  The halfpipe is open.

Prayer requests:  WOJO’s dad, Dolph’s relatives and coworkers grandmothers passing.   Turtleman and family.  Huckleberry,  Anchorman

The part about being humbled during a workout is a great lesson.  Some guys are in better shape or better in certain things.  That’s life.   Just don’t quit trying.

Always a pleasure to lead.

FRC est. 2019

6 HIM showed at 4:45 for what’s hopefully the last unofficial running of FRC from Belmont Central. This is what happened…

A great route was planned, and the only problem was it was 65 degrees! Way to warm compared to temps that have been in the low 20s of late.

We headed out on the way, lots of good conversation, even the idea of having an official AO song came up. Seuss won’t sing that either. Some of us finished a little early and that’s ok, everyone made it back safely in the end. FYI Ruckers are welcome at FRC too. Until next week, Sargento out!

Announcements – FRC will start at 4:40 next week, Pushing Rocks starts 2/1, Krispy Kreme Challenge Saturday 2/3 (2 spots left in clowncar), Monday devotion after LifeLine, Rice n Beans opportunity soon (see Anchorman)

Prayers – Praise for all being well, John Mattox (church friend of YHC with Afib)
