Gen Z’s Icy Tears

AO: greenmachine
Q: Michelin Man
PAX: moneyshot, Cowboy, Focker, Puzzlah, Shania, Betty Ford, Mermaid (F3 Knoxville), preacherman, Leather Boobie
FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
CONDITIONS: quite warm… comparatively. preacherman didn’t even need gloves.

WARMUP: side straddle hops and imperial squat walkers while Cowboy put up the flag.

PLAYLIST: Gracie Abrams. :fire: Michelin Man asks Betty Ford and Puzzlah why Gen Z music is so sad?

THE THANG:

1. First Nations Run. Pass the present (a 20lb ruck plate. Welcome Shania to the world if nashville-rucking) back and the last man runs it back to the front. Drop the present and do a burpee. YHC and AOQ Cowboy seems to keep dropping the present… I think we ran 1 mile.

2. Mosey to end zone. Partner up. One partner runs to 20, does 3 Star jumps, and runs back. Other partner does 100 reps of a series of exercises. We did merkins, WW1s, squats, lunges, flutter kicks, Jane fondas, and then merkins for the 6. Focker noted that the playlist seemed repetitive. Perhaps Gracie Abrams music needs more plot twists like her dad’s TV shows?

3. Do #1 again.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: leanpax. Today is half way! YHC fell off my diet the last two days and his back on today.

COT: pray for Antioch. Several others mentioned.

Lord, thank you for the power and privilege we have and guide us to use those gifts not to build our own thrones but to build your kingdom.

Burpee-O’Clock-Alypse

AO: greenmachine
Q: Natural Ice
PAX: Best Boi (F3 Hill Country), moneyshot, Young and Restless, Jeremy Vanslyke, SalPal, Cowboy, Betty Ford, Grape, Hanes, Topanga, Natural Ice, Dirty Dozen, Canned Heat
FNGs: None
COUNT: 13
CONDITIONS: Humid and Steamy

THE HORRIBLE THANG: Burpee-O’Clock-Alypse

YHC kicked off the morning with an interval timer set to chime every 60 seconds, signaling a simple yet brutal plan: 5 burpees every minute on the minute for 45 minutes. In between each set of 5 burpees, PAX were graciously given the “opportunity” to catch their breath with a resting exercise called out by YHC. These included light stretching to start, followed by multiple rounds of a Free People’s Run, squats, lunges, Lt. Dans, bear crawls, crab walks, and LBCs.

The soundtrack for this beatdown was none other than Dave Matthews’ magnum opus, Crash, which eventually transitioned to Under the Table and Dreaming after some lag in the latter half of the album. This change tested not only our physical endurance but also our mental toughness.

Overall, there were absolutely no groans or complaints. Each call of “five burpees” was met with cheers and applause (or something close to that), and a new record of 225 burpees was set. YHC is hopeful that future F3 PAX will take on the challenge to push that record to 230 and beyond.

MOLESKINE: DO HARD THINGS

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Tn Tussle and Q School!

COT: F3 does not Suscribe – but we do lift up prayer!

COT: the word “legacy” has been bouncing around my head lately. Tomorrow is not guaranteed for any of us. So if today is our last day here or our last day of good health, what will our legacy be?
I butchered a quote, so here is the original:

Drop one rep and repeat all the way down to 1 Jump Squat and a shuttle.

Sticking around the courts, PAX circled up for everybody’s favorite jerk, Jack Webb: Merkins and Air Presses in a 1:4 ratio. We took this one all the way up to 10:40, and everyone LOVED it.

Mosey to Sunnyside Hill

Lining up with previous partner at the base of the hill, P1 performed LBCs while P2 sprinted up to the flag. RnR x 3.

Since we didn’t get here alone, one last AYG with everybody together up the hill before a mosey back to the startex.

MOLESKINE:
It was truly an honor to lead this workout. I had no idea what the heck I was getting into 10 years ago, but I’m glad I didn’t let that stop me. Really grateful for the all the men that have stepped up to lead along the way. Whether it’s been as a workout Q, an AOQ, or a position at the regional level, you are making me and countless others better for it. I don’t take that for granted. Nor should you.

Can’t wait to see what the next decade holds!

Also, a special thanks to all of you who brought coffee, baked goods, and other refreshments for extended coffeeteria. What a great way to end!

BULLHORN:
Prayers for job changes, job searches, ailments, and recoveries.
