We all love F3, and here on the north shore we have respect for those who have gone before paving the way for us to do what we love to do here in Mandeville and Covington. That is why we were more than happy to host one of two available beatdowns for day 5 of the week-long celebration of F3 NOLA’s 6 year convergnce.
25 men showed up to scramble (or at least make an appearance) on this 67 degree Fall morning. After a warm-up consisting of Cherry Pickers, Imperial Walkers, T Stretches, Torso Twists, High Knees, Fire Hydrants, and Scorpion Kicks, the PAX hit the streets of Mandville running the traditional route with a few hiccups thrown in to keep the heart rates elevated and things so much more interesting. There were 4 sets of cones along the route and, on the way out, runners sprinted from the 1st cone 150 feet to the 2nd cone of each set. On the way in 10 burpees a piece were on tap at each cone.
Back at the flags, QIC lead the gazelles as well as the clydesdales in some amateur-hour yoga, before the more experienced (vicariously?) Zoolander took the reigns to close us out.
There was lots of great mumble-chatter as the endorphins flowed and we, once again, owned the gloom!

Some guys had to split and some were just showing up as we circled up to count off and roll call. Hokie Pokie prayed us out as we ventured out to start another day.
Thank you guys for allowing me to lead today, and thank you Fracsac for not showing up with the Freedom Hammer.
