THE THANG: Long Mosey through Burning Man Mud and to pull up bars for one round of max pull ups. 10 burpees followed
Mosey to sideline of field to perform main thing. Multiply max pull ups x 10 and do that many reps of each exercise:
Dips
Merkins
Monkey Humpers
Drop Squats
Leg Raises
Run to opposite sideline and back every 1.5 minutes
Those who sandbagged on their pull-ups and got done early got to do 5 burpees every 5 yards

We all went to goal line for 7s of Hindu push ups and Hindu squats running to 50 and back

MARY: 2 quick exercises

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 9/11 convergence on 9/9 led by @cowboy. 9/13 workout for 9th anniversary at #titan.

COT: @batman’s prayer request was a great reminder to us all that these workouts serve as a way to strengthen more than just our bodies. May we do well to remember that as we serve the people in our lives.
The lack of coffeeteria (my bad everyone)  motivated everyone to rush home and be more present there so you’re welcome.

Thang :

Hobbling Gobbler 3.0 route.

NMM : Such a great turnout today. Grateful to see all the PAX converge at Machina Verde aka Green Machine aka 3rd Annual Hobbling Gobbler.
Ruckers rolled out at 0530 while Ponzi and Happy Ending did a pre run loop scouting all of our turns for us and even made an adjustment to one sign.
PAX all broke out together and soon split into several pace and convo groups. Young bucs along w FD and PSL out front. More seasoned PAX fell in behind.
Per usual, YHC hit the Porto Let at M1.2 while Iron Lung held back to watch my 6 … (types weirder than I expected).
The race was on upfront for the coveted prizes. While YHC wasn’t there to witness, word is there may have been a Mary Decker Zola Budd incident between Floppy and W4AG. Again, I can’t confirm but there was talk of reaching out to Dilfer to see if he had any finish line footage.
So many great connections post run. Was really cool to see PAX reach out to others and meet new Bros.
T Claps to our local sous chefs, line cooks, runners, et al T Cell, Toothless, Hipster, Det Pikachu, Money Shot.
See y’all tomorrow at either The Buff or Cruel Hall.
Next Convergence is 1/1/23. AO / QIC TBA stay tuned to the Slack for Deets.

BH :
Movin on Up’s new baby
Third Coast in Ukraine
413 class starts in Jan
Black Lung is Qing a gnarly 1stF challenge beginning 3 Jan 23. Be on the lookout for deets. Think it’s called the LeanPax challenge … hope someone designs some sweet gear for us to consume.

Time

NMM : Great turnout this am w a Dirty Dz of F3 Nashville’s finest. Grateful to Money Shot for making the Joe onsite and for dear Ms Wiley and her percolator. Always a pleasure to see some new faces along with Redwoods like T Cell & Bad Boy. Getting to see Cowboy three times in 24 hr was a rare treat as well. Stunner of the day was Venus lurking around the corner next to the boys bathroom as we made our way into the house that Dilfer built. YHC was going to rep count WOR based upon TD’s jersey number but alas couldn’t remember if he was 12 or not. Today’s Q was a blend of old, new and rare BV cuts.

BH : Excitement in the air as Movin On Up and his M are expecting baby numero uno. Congrats man. We also poured one out for BNB who is heading to Raleigh at EOY. Godspeed brother. TAP to Third Coast and his family as he is in Ukraine right now making a documentary. As winter approaches, this is a great Other Season, not off season. Think about those Gainz you can make spiritually, personally and professionally.

Hobbling Gobbler next Thursday 0600 from Green Machine lot. There will be prizes, coffee and post run beverages for all participants.

YHC,

Time

NMM: Focused on different movement patterns, less quantity more quality. Tempo and time under tension training. Getting breath under control, getting nasal, slowing breath down. Today’s music was from WNXP playlist on Spotify. Today’s workout title came from Bad Boy, T Cell and BNB riding me all morning and the fact that I have nothing else pithy to call it.
BH: Ukraine, 413 starting again next week, marriages, SB travel.

YHC,
