South Louisiana storms woke YHC at 3:00 a.m. and he worried that the Northshore F3-bros would have to scrub another mission due to the elements, but when I arrived at the AO storms had cleared and we were go for launch.
CONDITIONS
I don’t have the stats for the weather conditions, but the court conditions at the Milestone Marsh were exquisite. Some good samaritan took a leaf blower and cleaned the b-ball court that is the centerpiece of the Milestone Marsh AO. Was that you @Bushwhacker? @Mandeville Parks and Rec, maybe? IAE, thanks for the solid.
DISCLAIMER
Q offered a half-hearted disclaimer, but the Q’s limitations were old news to the expert, assembled PAX.
THE WARM UP Proper
The assembled PAX warmed up with the following sequence, all exercises done IC.
-SSH
-Good Mornings
-Imperial Walkers
-High Knees
-Lizard/Geico stretches (Because who wants to strain the groin?)
THE WARM UP Lagniappe
Basketball season is underway. (It’s that round shaped ball, #TranslatingForMyFootballFanaticBros) YHC commemorated b-ball season by adding free throws to the warm-up. F3 wrinkle was that a miss got you 5 burpees.
Unfortunately YHC did his Shaq impersonation and took some garbage free throws leading to my penalty burpees. Next time I’ll imitate Wilt and shoot granny style. T-Claps to Waterpik for draining them. Our friend has skillz.
THE THANG Preview
YHC wanted to put the newly cleaned court to good use so we started with a “Brenton” drill.
Bear Crawl (100 ft)
Standing Broad-Jumps (100 ft)
Perform 3 Burpees after every 5 Broad-Jumps
The official Brenton calls for 5 rounds, but we had other work to do and called it after two sets.
THE THANG Part 1: Better run, Ivan is coming
Northshore QIC’s have been great at hyping the upcoming Krazy Ivan. (January 19th #MarkYourCalendarsNow) So if Ivan is coming we better get our run on. To improve our speed YHC called one of his favorites:
100 yard sprint + 10 merkins at the finish.
Repeat 10X.
Before running, PAX were issued the newly invented “double disclaimer.” We were diligent to avoid slipping on the wet asphalt and avoiding the F3-Faceplant. (F4?)
THE THANG Finale: If it’s the Marsh, it’s gotta be pull-ups
We moseyed back to the Marsh and hopped on the playground equipment. (gym equipment?) The Marsh is the only AO that has convenient pull-up (monkey) bars.
YHC called ten rounds of pull-ups, merkins and squats with the Pax belting them out every-minute-on-the-minute. PAX finished out the 45 minute beatdown and declared victory.
CountORama, NameORama, and COT
Thanks to our amigo Waterpik for praying us out
MOLESKIN
After smelling some skunk funk during the workout, Garfield shared some stories about Mandeville wildlife. Ask him the one about the deer, the schoolkids and the Mandeville public works dept.
Thanks F3-bros, for the fellowship, the beatdowns and for being willing to follow my lead.
