Goal for this one is 33 burpees as a team.  Partner 1 Bernie Sanders (runs backwards) away from circle.  Partner 2 does as many burpees as he wants and runs to catch up.  Partner 1 starts with the number Partner 2 left off with while Partner 2 runs backwards.  Continue until 33 burpees is reached.  Once your team reaches 33 burpees stop where you are and hold plank.  Once all teams have completed 33 burpees the team who made it furthest begins running back towards flag.  When the lead team gets to your team fall in behind and mosey to the light pole heading into the flag.

Jailbreak to the flag.  You vs. You.  Push your self with everything you have left.

 

Mary: Sugar Mountain asked YHC if he could handle ‘Mary’ for the day.  He also wrote this portion of backblast

In honor of Sakrete.

We learned at The Guild that it take Sakrete 37 seconds to conceive a child. It is also his 33rd birthday. So the following happened

37 Baby Makers OQ

33 Pickle Pounders IC

37 Monkey Humpers IC

33 Second Planks

Numberama: 13

Namerama: Repo, Tinker, Chum, High Stick, Sugar Mountain, Waldo, Defib, Easy In, Mayhem, Fish N Chips, Mad Dog, Manana, Sakrete

Pledge and COT- Correct  

Announcements: Events coming up.  Get with you 2nd F Q’s with any questions.  Keep an eye on the FB page for updates as well.

Devo: Used the devo time to hand over the reigns to Waldo for the time being as YHC is stepping away to nail down things at home after the newest 2.0 comes into the world.

Moleskin:   We did 33 (my age) of a lot of exercises that YHC doesn’t enjoy doing.  Defib kicked mulch on me as we were doing LBAC.  I guess 33 in both directions was too much.  Defib also almost died.  Alot.  Easy In is really fast.  Waldo is also fast.  Didn’t have a lot of mumble chatter this morning.  YHC will chalk it up as a win.  Anytime you can quiet this crowd you have done something.

Every Generation

Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will thank you forever and ever, praising your greatness from generation to generation. (NLT) ( Psalm 79:13 )

 

As the people of God, it’s important that we show the next generation how to worship.  The praise we give God is not meant just for us, it is supposed to be a testimony to our families and community.  Our praise should inspire the next generation to continue the faith.

Moleskin:   Today was YHC 33rd birthday.  We honored that day with a Sakrete favorite.  Rucks up.  Lets go!  Everyone put in work.  No one quit.  Welcome back to the gloom Tinker and The Colonel.

Mission:  F3’s mission is to plant small workout groups that are free of charge to all men.   We improve fitness and leadership in the community through regular scheduled workout groups where participants rotate leadership.

Conditions: 61 degrees, looks like winter is finally gone!

The Thang: 24 PAX got after it on various routes, modes of transportation/exercise and some for just coffee. Plus a dog. No, it wasn’t Dog Balls.

Moleskin:  Great turnout. Could have been 25 if DT got off his ass and actually showed up to something he HC’d to. Plenty of laughs at his expense, but it was glaringly obvious that Shortcake missed him. Even Sakrete’s dog Charlie got out of bed for some 2nd F.

Great to see plenty of PAX either running, rucking or riding this morning.

Mission:  F3’s mission is to plant small workout groups that are free of charge to all men.   We improve fitness and leadership in the community through regular scheduled workout groups where participants rotate leadership.

Conditions: 45 degrees, cold

The Thang: 30, I repeat 30!,  PAX showed up to The Creamer to either run, ruck, ride or just for coffee.

Moleskin:  For some reason whenever it is cold out, the PAX tend to order coffee and sit outside. I have still yet to figure this one out, but that is for another day.

The return of Shortcake and DHL brought all the boys to The Creamer – sorry Cheetah! It was great to have these two guys back out after a long hiatus.

Happy 39th birthday to Bedrock’s own Benefits!

Many prayers request were spoken as well as many praise requests. T-Claps to Too Much for taking us home in the BOM.

Pledge and COT

Devo: The Slosh Tubes work some muscles that we normally don’t.  It’s easy to work the easy muscles, or our favorite muscle groups.  However, focusing in on the muscles that we don’t work is where we should focus our attention.

The same goes in life, we should focus on developing our week spots.  Don’t just focus on the things that we are good at.  When you focus on those “weak” spots, that is where true growth happens

Moleskin:   it was awesome to see all the guys out today.  The Slosh Tubes have a way of bringing even the most fit among us to our knees, so they are a great equalizer.  When we go through Q School, we’re reminded that we should develop a workout that will test both the seasoned and new.  This applies in our leadership roles as well, don’t forget to focus on the people around us that have been around for ever and are well seasoned along with the people that are new or need additional support.

Tinkers bags are dusty! 😂

 

I’m Gonna Drop This Weight On Your Achilles

Intro: Even Q’s need to be motivated sometimes. YHC’s plan was to not preblast the workout, have 1 or 2 guys show-up, and just get a few lazy ruck miles in. Tinker had other ideas, so he preblasted the workout and got 7 crazies to the AO, which forced YHC to perform. YHC had zero motivation right up until the moment he arrived at the AO and saw these guys ready to get after it. And get after it they did. The two stallions, Cheetah and Dri-Prime led from the front most of the morning. Tinker is making huge strides in his shoulder surgery recovery, even knocking out a multitude of merkins under weight. KY is nursing a few HTL aches and pains, but still performing. Wrech-It Ralph made it look easy with his steady demeanor. And huge T-claps to Borland for pushing himself beyond his comfort zone…and the contents of his gut.

Warmup: Nope.

Thang: Walk/shuffle to the HT shopping center, while passing around a 45# steel coupon. Once there, the PAX did three rounds of what can be described as a sort of Indian Run using the coupon and eventually shopping carts to push each other back and forth across the parking lot. At each end, the PAX guessed the time it took to traverse the lot. The winner got a breather, the losers did merkins.

Shuffle back to the flag with the coupon for time. The last man literally reached the flag at 5:44:59.

Mary: None.
