Here at F3 on da Bayou traditions abound new and old
And you’ll need more than Frozen grass and dank gloves to scare the bold
We’ve got Journeys to Bethlehem with starry coupon skies while Santa Valve and his McLevens ignore your cries
Frozen war stories on Tap at the Peltch with a sweet smell of Air biscuits no freshener can squelch
Smooths at the stage so the cheetahs can roam as We wait on the porch for #Tanacomehome
The ageless wonders of Rienzi plan beatdowns where shoes are nice and you know Diddles making his list and checking it twice.
Thus yHC found his old beatdown with all four candles and added some new flames to prevent love handles.
Duke! Too early for eggnog !
roll the bean footage!!
9 pax rolled in ready for ADVENTure with Pope and Goose helping YHC put the finishing touches on the lazer light cawnz.
Even an illusion of warmth was appreciated at a brisk 36 degrees!
F3 Thibodaux lore dictates an ADVENTure wreath (TM) to have 4 components :
1: Heavy Coupon work
2: Matt Mahers Advent of Christmas Album( highly recommended)
3: Pyrotechnics
4 : 1 pax complaining about cold grass
We had 1-3 all ready to go but YHC was concerned about #4 until our local clergymen arrived a tad late. There…now we have all 4!!
let’s get after it
Standard Warmup where we actually have to raise our core temperature and maybe the first beatdown of the year without bug spray. We couldn’t give Wet Tap the sweet victory of groans from Saturdays Iron Tap Challenge so we suffered in cold silence during the regular fare plus heavy MCs.
Bumper Mosey where I complimented Valves neck gaiter and he silently asked me to never speak again. It’s ok we are in a “rough patch “ but nothing a Panera gift card can’t fix.
Field update *
Continued Coupon Vandalism was discovered at the bumper!!
Two more coupon soldiers lost in senseless violence RIP
As Q during this discovery I’ve compiled a list of ppl most likely to harm an F3 coupon ..
Top Suspect list :
-CrossFit CrabTrap
-Cardinal
-CrossFit HomeBrew
-Cardinal
-Thib Regional Wellness Center
-Cardinal
-some misguided youths
Investigation pending …
Back at the stage before launching into the wreath we had to
1. Clear our heart
2 make straight the path
Cawns were lined up on the far side of the stage and Pax were split into teams. Goal was to run to cawns, 3 burpees , Nur back and put your cawns in a skrait line
It was during this explanation that YHCs vernacular hit 9.8 Homers on the redneck meter and only Gooses deep beatdown knowledge could translate what was about to happen. (Cone=Comb=Cawn)
Ended up 14-14 tie and our path was nice and strait. Sorry they didn’t have your fancy “speech therapy” at the Homer dollar general.
Da main Thang
Setup: 4 cones spread out on picnic tables and one larger in center lit by an assortment of family flashlights and headlamps. This works best if your 2.0s ask why you are taking their headlamp and you explain to them it’s to keep your friends out of the fartsack. Shortly followed by an invite from your M to consider p90x again.
