AO: Sandlot
Q: Boomer
PAX: bogey, Booking, citrus, Dojo, Lazlo, Legacy, Zeus, Shake ‘N’ Bake FNGs: Flood
COUNT: 10
WARMUP: Mountain Climbers, SSH, Cherry Pickers, Michae Phelps, LBACs, Mosey to Field

THE THANG:

Musical Dora
PAX partnered up and switched off running suicides and exercise. Rather than counts of 1-2-3, only moved to next exercise after song on playlist ended. Round 1: Merkins, V Ups, Air Squats
Round 2: Wide Arm Merkins, Freddie Mercuries, Reverse Lungs
*Unfortunately, the PAX thought this wasn’t very challenging and that the playlist was lousy.

Wall Sits
PAX lined up holding wall sits and went up and down the line doing an increasing number of squats.
*Intention was for Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall to be playing during this, but in true Boomer fashion his Internet stopped working and he blames Citrus. 😄

Short Tabatta work of 45 second work, 15 second rest including: Merkins, SSH, Four Square, Calf Raises & Bonnie Blairs. At PAX insistence, Burpees were also included.

MARY: Dealers choice of various things: Big Boy Sit Ups, Toy Soldier, Nolan Ryans etc

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Ski Trip in February

COT: Despite the upbeat music, the lyrics of today’s playlist were full of regret, apocalyptic themes, nihilism, and longing for something more. To the extent this mood is at work in the world, I’m working on being someone who encourages, gives hope, and shows people meaning in life. May the men of F3 be ones who serve, love, and sacrifice for their families and friends and show a better way.

Q was late – thank goodness F3 has leaders

DATE: 2022-12-10
AO: Olympus
Q: Pop Fly
PAX: citrus, Lazlo, Shake ‘N’ Bake, Booking, Monk, Rollingstone, Zeus, El Camino, Peanuts, Ashe, Popeyes, Nano, Doodles, YNAB, Toolbox, bogey FNGs: Kittles
COUNT: 18
WARMUP: Probably the normal stuff. Q was late so Citrus took over

THE THANG:
1) Traveling Jack Webbs: Bear crawl ten yards, do 1 PU, 4 OH Arm Press. Bear crawl 10 more yards, increase 1 PU and 4 OH Arm Presses every time. Start on one goal line, finish on the other goal line. End with 10 PUs, 40x OH Arm Press
2) Traveling Lunges: Lunge Walk 5 yards, complete 2 squats. Repeat to 50 yard line. PAX then reverse lunged from the 50yd line to the goal line
3) Quick Mosey to the concrete stumps. PAX performed 30 step ups, 20 Dips and exhibited their balancing skills by performing 10 toe touches while standing on a stump. Impressive work by all.
4) Ultimate Frisbee: One team was all speed, power and precision. The other team had pluck. The Q (who was late) might have broken the first frisbee by kicking it – which leads the Q to believe the frisbee was already broken to begin with. Not sure who brings a broken frisbee to F3, but the Q has since ordered a replacement for the PAX whose frisbee was sacrificed today.

MARY: Ran out of time

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Not much happening, F3 related for the end of the year. Congrats to those completing the weekly challenge.

COT: Be well, do good work, and stay in touch
