F3 NOLA’s Second Anniversary

Nice turnout of 34 for the F3 Nola 2 year anniversary convergence.  Hawg and RY split the Q.  Yankee, being the elder statesman was first up.

The Thang

A sloppy disclaimer, by his own admission…then a short mosey to the Great Lawn for the largest COP in NOLA history.

Traditional warm-up with SSH x 20, Imperial Walkers x 20, Mtn. Climbers x 20, LBC x 19, and Low Slow Squats x 21.

As Yankee started the LSS he hiked his shorts way up and started showing some lily white thigh.  I thought it was a strange addition to the COP.  Hope it doesn’t catch on.  

Then we spread out for 10 minutes of 4 corners.  Corner 1 – 10 burpees, Corner 2 – x-fit push-ups, Corner 3 – Surfer Burpees, Corner 4 – 180 jump squats.

This was a shout out to Chewy who included this in his Q almost two years ago.  Most got about 2-2.5 trips around the quad in the 10 minutes.

At this point YHC took the Q and led a mosey to the NOMA lily pond for Red Hot Chili Pepper:  Derkins x 16, Bulgarian Split Leg Lunge Left x 8; Incline Merkins x 16, Bulgarian Split Leg Lunge Right x 8, Derkins x 12, BSLL Left x 6, IM x 12, BSLL Right x 6, Derkins x 8, BSLL Left x 4, IM x 8, BSLL Right x 4, Derkins x 4, BSLL Right x 2, IM x 4, BSLL Left x 2

This was a redux of Chong-Li’s workout at the launch.  Next came the first bad idea of the day

We attempted a Route 66 with bear crawls between each lamp post and an increasing number of jump squats starting at 1 and ending at 11 in theory.  There was lots of modification on this one and we ran out of time before it was finished.

We headed back to the lily pond and did 10 jump squats (or 5 to the top ledge).

Then mosey back to the Great Lawn for some DJ Style Mary:  SFX led us off with 16 Dr. Ws.  Then Turbo Tax represented the Northshore with 15 Nolan Ryans on each side.  Next was Jingle Vader and 25 Putins (Shorty and I thought it might be infinity, fortunately JV cut it short).  Next was possibly the greatest moment in the two year history of F3 Nola when Tool led us through the alphabet.  Kim-Chi took us home with 20 dying cockroaches with 5 at super slow speed to end the set.

Moleskin

Thanks to all who came out this day and who keep coming out every day.  This has allowed me to work out consistently for 2 years and for that I am grateful to all involved.  It was great to see all of the Kotters come out.  By nature the second F suffers when guys quite showing up or when we split workouts.  The convergence is just another workout when it comes to the First F, but it is special when it comes to the 2nd F.  We should do it more often.

Thanks to Amnesty for opening his home to us for breakfast afterwards and thanks to our brothers on the Northshore for making the trip down.
