Black Ice

Q: Natural Ice , Black Lung
PAX: Michelin Man, Tim the Toolman, DintyMoore, Puzzlah, Siri, Pep, Hedwig, bluemule, Duncan
FNGs: None
COUNT: 11
CONDITIONS: Immaculate

WARMUP: SSH, Leg stretchish things

THE THANG: YHC kicked off the Q with a long mosey featuring multiple sets 10 merkins strategically placed to keep the pax together. Once we hit the bridge we did sets of sprints ending with a long set of Lt Dans across the bridge. Michelin Man gave a nice complement by confirming that the Q was set too Hard Mode.

Black Lung took over for an off road mosey up to Love Hill followed by a punishing round of Merry consisting of WW1, Flutter Kicks, and Leg Raises. Proceeding with a session of partnered sprint work around the hill before heading back to the startdex.

MOLESKINE: When the Q is training for a half marathon – the Pax is training for a half marathon!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Encouragement to work out with 413 Strong!

COT: Prayers were lifted up!

NO BURPEE REQUEST

AO: bomber
Q: hambone
PAX: Sherlock, DintyMoore, Pep, Chunks, Hair Band, Puzzlah, Hedwig, CubCadet, Papa Bear
FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
CONDITIONS:

WARMUP: No time to waste–no warmup.

THE THANG: CubCadet requested that there be no burpees + running, and because I respect the most respected members of the most respected AO in Nashville, how could I not oblige?

The thing about the burpee is there is a whole bunch of gettin’ up and gettin’ down. Why not just cut out the extra movement and do the merkin and the squat separately? The geriatrics in the crowd approved.

Besides the running and stopping for merkins and squats, we also managed to get a quick set of pull ups and then moved over to bear crawls + other work near Nebraska Ave.

The closeout was Jacobs ladder with NO BURPEES–just merkins and squats. Work your way up to 7 and then SSH for the six.

MOLESKIN: DintyMoore was late, but he was able to follow his nose to my stank and catch up with the crew. He just knew how to get us.

Sherlock came flying in with rizzzzz because he caught lots of red lights on the way over, but he made up for it by catching up and then performing Jacob’s Ladder like a champion.

Speaking of late, Chunks came flying in on his fleet feet accompanied by Hair Band. He was pretty smoked, but “that was the pace he picked”.

Papa Bear, Hedwig I don’t want you guys to feel left out–you guys looked excellent on the bear crawls. I know you’ll lead some in the future.

Puzzlah I couldn’t notice any problems with the hip. The man is large, but he moves like butter on a lobster.

Speaking of lobster, Pep, I’m really sorry I didn’t have more at 525. Sometimes all I have to give is my love and the workout.

CubCadet, I fulfilled my promise, so even though you may not technically be AOQ, your word reigns supreme and I honor it–even if I have to use a bit of semantics to get the workout in that I want.

COT: Prayers for Hedwig’s 2nd cousin (technically?) and his awesome life and passing. Prayers for the Beam/Beem family and the loss of their child (thx DintyMoore). Prayers for Hair Band’s 5 minute move.

hambone out.

PAX: DintyMoore, Chunks, Strutter, James Adams, Under the Table, Highway BBQ, Country Parkour, Puma (aka Trophy Husband aka Cougar Slayer), Catchers Face (aka Mit Face)
FNGs: 2 Puma (aka Trophy Husband aka Cougar Slayer), Catchers Face (aka Mit Face)
COUNT: 10
CONDITIONS: Ominous

WARMUP: what’s that for? We have FORTY FIVE minutes. Let’s get right to it.

THE THANG:
Basketball court work (including bearcrawls, sprints, skipping, and plenty of complaints).

Head down to the parking lot for the mini Dora–includes sets of Burpees, Squats, Merkins, and Drydocks.

Mini Mary

MOLESKINE:

I have a confession–I did not want to get up this morning. I’ve been pulled in 12 different directions at work with no end in sight. I’ve had to drop a class (ie. $2500 pissed away) because I was in a solid ‘F’ category. My running this week has been very poor. I submitted to stress eating yesterday. I spent 35 minutes on my porcelain throne this AM. My joints (and not my member) were unusually stiff this morning. I would have rated myself 3/10 when I pulled up this morning.

That’s the thing about the-discipline. You get up and show up irrespective of what’s going on in your life. Sometimes you’re even called to lead when things aren’t going well. The daily discipline of the King is often inviting, but sometimes it is completely opposite. the-discipline is cold and indifferent to how you’re feeling.

So you get up and go chase it anyway. That’s just how it works.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Brewruck
Game Night

COT: Prayers and thankfulness for our continued growth as men.

My Eras Tour

AO: titan
Q: Puzzlah
PAX: DintyMoore, Spinal Tap, Old Maid, Tim the Toolman, Salami, SalPal, Michelin Man, Elmer (DR from Raleigh), Escobar (DR)
FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
CONDITIONS: Reminiscent of the glory years

WARMUP: Mosey around the park. Stretch: World’s Greatest Stretch, Calves.

THE THANG:
My eras were an attempt at 4 decades of fitness, so 4 sets of workouts that were organized around my athletic endeavors of hockey, basketball through high school, football through college, Rugby through my 20s, and a classic F3 dora that got edited for time. I would have incorporated a lot more sprinting (suicides, 55s, etc.), but I have been working through some foot pain (Thanks to Spinal Tap for the recs that I will try out).

Hockey/Plyometric station:
– Broad Jump
– Speed hop
– skaters
– skaters with a pause
– launch off one leg into a sprint

Basketball/Lower Body station:
4 rdsx10 reps each of:
– Air Dramas (Squat then extend up onto your toes)
– Hold squat shoulder circuit (Palloff press)
– Iron Mikes
– Tuck Jumps

Football/Full Body:
38 Up Downs going around the circle like Dan Campbell in that Hard Knocks episode.

Rugby-ish:
4 rds of:
– Bear crawl 10 m
– 10 Dancing Bears
– 10 Merkins
– Sprint Back 10 M

F3 pivot to a few rounds of partner lateral runs 20 m, while partner does plank shoulder taps, then Freddie Mercuries, then SSHs. Not quite enough time for a Dora.

about 8 minutes of Mary back at the flag.

Described some of the srummaging techniques that I pivoted away from during coffee that I will come back to in the future after some encouragement.

MOLESKINE:
As I was looking at the environs on Google Maps to plan out the Q, I noticed that the landmark that our alphabet overlords highlight is the Taylor Swift Bench. I didn’t know it was there and didn’t bother to seek it out, but modern stardom, longevity, and fandom/activism were discussed. A bird that had seen better days awaited us where I put down cones to warn us of what was to come.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
2.0s welcome at bomber on 6/14
Salami Dash at the Castle 5k that includes tickets to future Nashville SC game
f3nashville.slack.com/archives/C3MSWGATT/p1718203308939989
COT: Prayers for travel, discretion with new work opportunities, and Pep DR in San Francisco.

Appreciated this fine group of HIMs for my first Q at Titan working through some beginner’s trudge.
