Decath-WTF?

AO: -f3-nashville-general
Q: CubCadet
PAX: Pep, Tim the Toolman, Spinal Tap, Papa Bear, hambone, Sherlock, Young and Restless, Wolfpack, Purple Tiger, Choo Choo, Beaver (DR from outside Richmond), Radish (birthname Lewis)
FNGs: 1 Radish (birthname Lewis)
COUNT: 13
CONDITIONS: only 79

WARMUP: The usual stuff, and 10 burpees, much to the dismay of hambone (“what next, bear crawls?”)

THE THANG: On the 49 Anniversary of Bruce (now Caitlyn) Jenner’s Olympic Record Decathlon performance in Montreal and to celebrate GameStop getting permission to go north of the border, we did a modified decathlon.

Day 1 Events
– 100 m dash: sprinted length of Parthenon
– Long Jump: 20 lung-worms
– Shot Put: 40 sit-ups
– High Jump: Hop up Parthenon steps 2x
– 400 m run: Run the ellipse

Day 2 Events
– 110 m hurdles: 110 high knees
– Discuss Throw: 50 dips
– Pole Vault: 40 merkins
– Javelin Throw: 50 squats
– 1500m run: Run 3 sides of the great lawn

Repeat sequence doing half the reps, and skipping the 1500m run

MOLESKINE: Think of somebody in your life who might need a check-in from you. Reach out.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Check Slack, but there is a 2.0 event (nerf battle). And still selling that 50 mile thing.

COT: Welcome to Radish (aka Lewis, 24, originally from South Africa. Just moved back to Nashville, after previously being at Lipscomb). I don’t get credit for EHing – somebody else said something, then I just had him Long-Jump next to me. Thanks to other PAX for making him feel welcome, including Coffeteria.

Prayers for Pep stress at work. Alleviation of suffering in Gaza. Gratitude that impact of overnight tsunami was not worse.

Thanks for allowing me to lead today!

Blow Out the Candles

AO: bomber
Q: Firefox
PAX: Sherlock, CubCadet, Papa Bear, Pep, Tim the Toolman, Wet Wipes, Black Lung, O-Captain
FNGs: 1 O-Captain
COUNT: 9
CONDITIONS: 85 and Sticky

WARMUP: Short mosey up to clubhouse and back.
– SSH, LBAC, Air Presses

THE THANG:
To celebrate YHC’s birthday, we rolled a red die and a blue die at Startex. 45 reps (each side, if applicable) of the exercise indicated by the red die, 46 reps (each side, if applicable) of the exercise indicated by the blue die. Run up to the stop sign and back, hold a plank for the six. Rinse and repeat. This including the following:
– 45 merkins
– 45 bulgarian split squats (each side)
– 45 dips
– 45 lunges (each side)
– 45 carolina dry docks
– 45 fire hydrants (each side)
– 46 boxcutters
– 46 leg lifts
– 92 american hammers (each side, the only exercise to be rolled twice)
– 46 V-ups
– 46 flutter kicks (each side)

Mosey down to playground.

Conveyer belt of pull-ups. PAX held a plank in a line. First PAX did 1 pull-up, dropped, shifted over one bar and did another pull-up, continuing to shift over one bar at a time until a full circuit of 14 pull-ups was completed. As soon as their was room, the 2nd PAX started. When a PAX finished their 14, they went to the back of the line and held a plank until their turn came up again. Everyone did two full circuits for 28 pull-ups.

Mosey back to Startex. 1 minute hollow body hold.

MOLESKINE:
– How did the conveyer belt work for everyone? Too confusing?
– PAX really stepped up to make O Captain welcome. Welcome, O Captain (My Captain)!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

– Night Moves

COT:
– Losses and health issues in Black Lung’s extended family
– Wet Wipes’s Mom’s passing
– YHC’s recent anxiety episodes

Always an honor and a pleasure to lead y’all.

Goblet of Ice Trifecta – Round 1- Triforce of Power

AO: titan
Q: Natural Ice
PAX: Chunks, Papa Bear, Cropduster, Sherlock, GameStop, Pep
FNGs: None
COUNT: 7
Conditions: Sweat-soaked and glorious
Warm-O-Rama:
We kicked things off with Side Straddle Hops and a round of dynamic runner’s stretches, which successfully faked out Pep into thinking we were headed for a long run. In reality, I just needed a stretch after too many miles this week. Mission accomplished.

The Thang:
Cinder blocks were retrieved, and we headed to the hill for a devious round of 11s:
– Bottom of the Hill: Blockie Burpees
– Top of the Hill: WWI Sit-Ups
–
But wait—there’s more. Because I’m a glutton for punishment, each trip up or down the hill had its own special challenge:
1. Carry a cinder block
2. Bear crawl up
3. Crawl bear down
4. Crab walk down
5. Lunges uphill
6. Run backward uphill
7. Sprint (plan run)
8. High knees
9. Side shuffle (switch sides halfway)
10. Lieutenant Dan (lunge + squat combo)

We may have gone one minute over time… but the hill demanded it.

Moleskin:
Today marked my 5th year in F3 and the first of three consecutive Qs in the Goblet of Ice Trifecta.

After completeing the the Triforce of Power we have two more lined up:
– Triforce of Wisdom: Thursday at Green Machine
– Triforce of Courage: Friday at Handsomizer

COT:
Prayers lifted for the men of Stronghold walking through the fire tonight.

Announcements:
– 4th of July convergence at Handsomizer – final details TBD
– Upcoming CSAUP involving teams of 5 – details coming soon

SYITG,
Natural Ice
