8 years ago in October a shovel flag was planted in New Orleans and men all over SE Louisiana have been accelerating ever since. 58 Pax including 5 FNGs came together to celebrate.
YHC gave a disclaimer and directed a mosey to an open area of Audubon. Reviewed core principles and mission. Warmup included SSH, Grass Grabbers and Imperial Walkers. There were fwd arm circles, reverse arm circles with reverse count and of course there was Moroccan Night Club where dancing was highly encouraged.
YHC introduced the Thibodaux Pax for the first COP. The set the stage with 5 rounds of the Jerf!
10 merkins
American Hammers x 20
Bear crawl 10 yards
10 merkins
20 leg lifts
Lunge walk back
Rinse and repeat
(Hope that’s right)
Next came Burpees to AC/DCs Thunderstruck. Hear Thunder, do a burpee. Do SSH between burpees. Problem was they brought the weakest speaker in F3! Thankfully Coyote took Center stage to lead the burpees and a little air guitar for good measure!!
Next YHC introduced the Northshore and Quarterpipe gave a history of St Tammany Parish. There were dates thrown about, burpees and merkins and American Hammers and other stuff. It was pretty awesome and a solid beat down!
Then came to Uptown’s own Douille who of course started with burpees, then did some crazy bear crawl people’s crawl round and round. The Pax never wavered and pushed on!
There was some plankorama and other stuff that left the Pax gassed. We then moseyed back to the flag for COT where the FNGs were named.
Welcome Trademark, Shades, Cat Daddy, Stink Bomb and Hard Rock!

-TClaps to Gideon for providing the drone and great video capture. Every time the camera went by a pax their form seemed to improve drastically. Maybe it’s a sign we do more video….
-Tclaps to King Kong, Gabrielle, Willie, and Reluctant Yankee for putting together an amazing breakfast and coffee spread after in the park. We had several pax on IR join in for some great F2!
-Although we had a great turnout from many, we also failed some Pax. We had Nola pax and Downrange pax that were not aware of our convergence at Audubon Park. That failure to communicate effectively is on YHC and I will do better, we will become better together.
Thanks to all that have made F3 what it is. This is not something we can keep to ourselves, it must be shared and given away. Continue to EH and make a difference in our community one man at a time.
I love each and every one of you! Keep accelerating!
SYITG!
