Welcome to DBags. What are you having?

6 hard workers showed up for a Labor Day celebration unlike any other.  Here’s how it went down:

Grab coupons and mosey to back of school for warmup COP: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Don Quixote, Hillbillies, merkins, scorpion stretch, bridge and reach

Carry coupons to tennis courts for Triple Check fun.  Teams of three rotate through three exercises three times.

Round 1:  P1 people’s chair, P2 kb swings, P3 run, repeato x3

Round 2: P1 balls to the wall, P2 alternating kb press, P3 bear crawl, repeato x3

Round 3: P1 balls to the wall, P2 dumbbell burpees (drop, merkin, stand, press), P3 bear crawl, repeato x3

Round 4: P1 hold legs 6″ off the deck, P2 kb high row, P3 run, repeato x3

Timed, ascending 10 yrd shuttle run: PAX lines up at tennis court net and runs to the baseline.  That is one.  We started with 5 in minute one.  Then 6 in minute 2, 7 in minute 3…  You are out if you don’t complete the run segments within the minute.  16 was the last attempt (see below).

Mosey back to flag for quick mary and COT.  YHC took us out, and please keep Headstud’s family in your prayers as they had a lot of flood damage from last Friday’s heavy rains.

NMM:  YHC got more than a bit panicked when there appeard to only be four contestants for the day.  Four is not a magic number when you’re trying to do triple checks.  Thankfully two more players showed up at the last minute.  It’s also fun to bring some different moves to a workout.  Triple checks, balls to the wall, and the timed shuttle run seemed to be real crowd pleasers.  Headstud asked somewhere around minute 8 where this was all going so he could get “mentally prepared.”  After we got past ten everyone understood the reality of more work and less rest on each rep.  Nearly everyone was out at minute 15, but Big Stick got it completed and had to immediately start 16 while the rest of us were doing abs.  He was not successful, but the record currently stands at 15 for our next attempt.  Solid work Big Stick!

Post COT discussion was all over the place.  What started as a discussion of skinny jeans, man-scaping, and work ended with Fox Trot’s new business venture.  Yes, he’s opening a new coffee and vintage record shop to be called “DBags.”  He’s taking orders for the first shirts= “Get T-Bagged at DBags.”  Investors welcome!

Stay Class,

Toga

Welcome to Love Hill

QIC: Toga

Pax: Bagger Vance, Floppy Disk, Funyuns, Foxtrot, Tortoise, Grease Trap, Cowboy, Venus, Vegemite, Toga.., and at least 13 others

23 strong posted for a perfect morning at Sir Ellington’s.  Here’s how it went down:

Mosey up the hill to the central parking lot.  COP: SSH, Don Quixote, Imperial Walkers, hillbillies, merkins, scorpion stretch #crowdpleaser

Mosey to the foot of the hill at the Hogan Rd entrance and begin Love Hill= partner 1 runs up the hill to the Moss Building and returns to partner 2.  In the mean time, partner 2 executes lunges up the hill, and the team keeps his progress.  Switch roles then switch to broad jump burpees for round 2 and bear crawls for round 3.

All in for merkins and abs: flutter kicks, close grip merkins, leg raises, archer merkins right, archer merkins left, scissor me Xerxes, wide grip merkins.., maybe something else.

Return to the bottom of the hill for.., you guessed it, Love Hill 2.0.  Same format with reverse lunges, crab walk and bear crawl.

Mosey back to the flag for ~3 minutes of SheHateMe= 10 2-count lunges, 10 burpees and 10 merkins, rinse and repeat till time expires.

NMM:  YHC figured it was time to dust off the Q shoes and give it a try here in Nashvegas.  Sir Ellington certainly gives you a lot of options, and the hill circuit is a long time favorite.  There was some initial discussion of the virtues of the scorpion stretch and the blissful sounds of YHC’s cadence.  We’ll await reports on how that works out in respective bedrooms.

Who was it that heard the call of nature during Love Hill round 2?  He may be the smartest member of the PAX out there.

Thanks to all of you for providing an F3 community in our family’s new home!

Prayers for those in need of healing, those coming home and the people of TX in need of a home.

Stay Classy,

Toga

PS:  YHC’s phone required a complete rebuild this morning and caused me to lose the recording with the names.  Feel free to add them in comments.
