We Just Missed That One…

May 27, 2022 / Purple Haze / 0 Comments

After a rough & tumble night of tornado warnings, torrential rains, and lightning that could rival a good July 4th celebration I was crossing my fingers that the severe weather would be gone by the time 5:30 rolled around. Quick check of the weather app and though it was going to be close we should be good. Driving in my confidence waned but soon the windshield cleared and it looked like my back-up winke would not be necessary. I arrived first but was soon joined by three other PAX. I must have missed it but apparently at a recent post Mayor was quite adamant that our own Nantan was very ill prepared because he used the F3 Deck of Pain to lead a workout. I listened to conflicting stories but it made for excellent mumblechatter! So much so that we started a whole minute late! Next was the pledge.

Warm Up: (IC) 1 Burpee / 20 SSH / 2 Burpees / 15 Gravel Pickers / 3 Burpees / 10 Goofballs / 4 Burpees / 5 Abe Vigodas / 5 Burpees

The Thang: Mosey across the parking lot for Dora 123 around the County Administration Building (Merkins / Squats / LBCs). Then a fellowship mosey back to the Pavillion for Dirty 11s climbing the stairs up/down across the pavillion (American Hammers / Big Boys). Finally back to the start for some Dora 321 around the water fountain area (Dying Cockroaches / Flutter Kicks / Shoulder Taps). We finished up with a short round of Mary. The mumblechatter continued right til the end and the current reign and length of term for the Nantan was questioned 😮

COT:

Announcements: Memorial Day Murph (Martha Rivers) / F3 Dad’s Needs Qs for June & July (Folsom & Gashouse) see Mayor / PT Test 6/18/22 (Father’s Day Weekend)

Prayer Request: Angela Duncan oral cancer (PH’s sister-in-law) / Turtleman / Huckleberry / Sargento’s M persistent cough / EZ Rider recovery / the Uvalde, TX shooting victims & families / Put our own personal egos aside and let God’s will win out / Don’t ever skip a chance to give your loved ones a hug and tell them you love them / We all learn how to deal with TRUE struggle / Sarlacc’s 2.0 / Praise report from Tippmann for not getting hurt after being hit by a semi truck recently

As always, it was an honor to lead

Rolled into Crossroads and found a lone PAX getting ready to launch. Balljoint rolled in next gettin a little EC in, then another, then another and pretty soon we topped out at five. Off we went and back again at 7:15 but one PAX shy. Seems Bed Pan decided his allergy driven snot would make for some good running fuel but his stomach did not concur! 🙁 We wrapped it up with the COT and then inside for QSource on LDP.

Annoucements: F3 Dad’s needs Qs contact Mayor if interested / Memorial Day Murph

Eight HIMs showed for a fine morning of running, rucking, or walking. It was a little on the humid side but some work got done and some men got better. After the COT and Double Stack momentarily forgetting his F3 name, we moved inside for a Q-Source topic on “Beating the Devil”.

Announcements: SMR & Honey Hunters game

Prayer Requests: Turtleman, Big Pappy, Purple Haze’s Mom, Broke, Oompa Loompa, Def Leppard & Huckleberry

Who Pushes Who?

April 28, 2022 / Purple Haze / 0 Comments

It was a clear chilly morning for the long awaited return of the Community Foundation Run and YHC’s debut Speed for Need event. I arrived early to lock down a few parking spots to give us plenty of room to set up. I unlocked the trailer and lowered the tailgate like on one of those NASCAR promo videos in slow motion with the sunrise and a little ACDC in the background!!! Out came the tent and chairs, and a few connections later, BOOM we were ready to roll. By this time a few HIMs showed to help out, some went to the field, some stayed around the tent, and some I never got to see, but I heard they were there!

As we neared “go time” we were short two track commanders… a few phone calls later and it was discovered that one family was having trouble getting past Gastonia’s finest and into the parking lot and the other was going to be a no-show. No problem, one crew headed to the S/F line with one commander and the other grabbed a chair and raced to the top of the parking lot. A few quick clicks and track commander number two was ready to go. Uh oh, in comes TC 3 that was totally unexpected an not one of the original. I’ve never been more proud of the HIMs that jumped into action to secure a third chair (we’d already closed it up in the trailer by now). Here click, there click, everywhere click click. A few pic clicks and we scurried to the line. Although the runners were off, it didn’t take us long to start racking up the kill shots as we worked our way through the crowd of walkers and finally to the back of the running pack. We were having a blast but nowhere near as much fun as our TC. The crowds were awesome and cheered him on at every turn. We swapped around to share in the load and the fun! Before we knew it we were back at the ballpark, crossing the finish line, and joining with the other crews! Some final shots… all smiles of course and we were done. What a day! Count your blessings gents cause we’ve sure got’em. I think all would agree on who pushed who!!!

Move over Rover… and let Jimi take over! PH

Guys,

Not sure who all has agreed to help w/ the SFN event Saturday but the last word was we have two Track Commanders. I am picking up the SFN trailer later today & am planning to arrive at the FUSE parking lot around 7am. I plan to set up in the lower corner of the main parking lot (see photo) and have the caretakers park beside me for ease of access. We will make our way to the S/F line before 9am in hopes that they will let us start a few minutes early. Please reply to this post if you still plan to help push so I’ll have a headcount. Give me a shout if you have any questions (980-448-8140). Thanks & we’ll see you Saturday!

Ok, not really a bar but we did show up to make ourselves better at Midoriyama! Bedpan was tapering for the P200 and wanted to “do something” rather than just rest before the race. Broke showed for some EC but thinks he may have made his shin injury worse. And I showed with the Q. Not wanting to add insult to injury we took it a little easy and had some great fellowship to boot.

The Thang:

Warmup – IC 20 SSH / 1 Burpee / 20 Moroccan Night Clubs / 1 Burpee / 20 Imperial Walkers / 1 Burpee / 20 Monkey Humpers / 1 Burpee

Mosey to K-9 Hill for Triple Nickel: LBCs / Calf Raises

Cold. Slippery. Snowy.

six shooters. Pull ups. Hammers. Lunges. Good group. Tiger has a tight fetish, maybe to strong of a word. Obsession, maybe. Someone mentioned it was like an eclipse. Tesla leaves nothing to the imagination. For being from LA, Boudin sure likes to exercise in the snow. Burpees make Rebar’s cloths come off. Brutus can’t feel his legs, or at least that’s the impression the pax got as he was wearing shorts – 20 degrees out side. Cpap flew under the radar. Bubba Sparks demonstrated a second option for wearing tights. No stupid shuffle as the stupid ground was to slippery.
