Look
If you had one one beatdown, one opportunity …
To seize everything you wanted as a Q…
Would you capture it or let it slip
Yo
His coolJabs are sweaty , calves weak , JBL is heavy
2.0 vomit on his mudgears already , M’s spaghetti
He’s nervous , but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down , the mumble chatter goes so loud
He opens his mouth but the cadence won’t come out
The clocks run out ! times up !
5:15 already Blaow! …
Duke! Snap back to reality and Roll that beautiful footage!
With 30 days till our signature summer event YHC wanted to stoke the fires of service a bit with a St Vincent de Paul tribute beatdown. 10 high impact men trickled into the stage just as YHC finished laying out some ominously zigzagging cones. YHC had serious concerns about low attendance today after Wet Tap came from the top rope on Monday with a F3 Thib instant classic Nurmegeddon: a mile long Nur that put more pax in physical therapy than beer league softball. To my relief waves of vehicles began washing ashore from all corners of Houma-Thibodaux highlighted by Honeysuckle bringing an FNG on his second beatdown! T-Claps
The calves were tight but these animals were hungry for more.
Warmup
The usuals and a bumper mosey to make sure we still knew how to run forward.
Thang 1
St Vincent birthday :
4 -24-1581
We grabbed coupons and hit 4 corners for :
4 thrusters x 4
24 Curls x 3
15 Werkins x 2
81 presses x x1
This heated up pretty quick. Tana could not be reached for comments , leave a message after the tone.
He does not like pina colada’s but he will get caught in the rain (if he needs a signature) . Champagne and yoga? Forget about it .
To the stage
A fathers sacrifice for his sons education.
St Vincent grew up in a poor farming family, his family made major sacrifices to send him to higher education.
Partner up –
Jason Aldean – Amarillo Sky
Father- Farmer carry both coups around the track while the
son does step ups
Both pax do 1 round of farmer carry and 1 round of step up
Burned it out with a minute of step ups.
So St Vincent became a priest at 19 but he couldn’t serve as parish priest till 24 so he went back to the books for a degree in Canon law and theology. He was totally primed to change the world with his now sharpened intellect but as he reflects in his writings his heart was not about serving others.
Can’t Touch This – MC Hammer
Classic YHC side shuffle from grass to grass with Bobby Hurleys on can’t touch this.
(Full props to YHCs 2.1 here. She dialed this one up and continues to sharpen her ear for F3 pain jamz.)
Thang 2
As we see time and time again God has a way of providing attitude adjustments at just the right time…
St Vincent on his way back from finishing his education was caught by pirates and sold into 2 years of slavery.
Open Ocean Team Race
Split into 2 teams
Start with 4x4x4 : 4 mountain climber , 4 Merkin , 4 SSH rinse and repeat. this seemed to boggle ole Street Smarts Ronnies brain until YHC saw the well patented Cardinal play to ask multiple clarifying questions in order to gather more oxygen. Well played.
Send one pax at a time into the course until all go through and when the team is back together Team Lunge to the finish.
Round 1 Nur/Run
Round 2 Nur/Run Star jumps
Round 3 all out Sprint
Team one flexed big quad talent in round 1 and 2 with decisive victories anchored by the Popes young legs and Gooses rowing cadence.
But Team 2 didn’t hear no bell.
that’s when Ragnar Tana felt the Viking in his blood boiling and was heard cadencing his team to a close victory in round 3.
Tremendous effort here all around cus the quads were …*checks diddle notes* ….
…straight up lit fam frfr, say less!
During these years as a slave St V saw the true value of service for “the least of these” and by establishing and deepening one on one relationships he converted his slave captors to Christianity eventually securing his freedom and returning to France with a full heart of Christian service
Thang Finale
Lose Yourself
Ab burn out …
Cycle of Big Boys , Leg Raise, Wife Pleasers with a 30 second 6 inch hold finisher
CountoRama and NameOrana with a FNG ceremony…
YHC has never been a great FNG namer and this is intensified as the Q. Today’s deliberations to name our FNG (he’s an eye doctor) started well enough with early front runners for Splinter and clear factions for America’s Best. YHC went with what seemed to be the popular vote of Splinter avoiding Gooses hurtful gaze…only for Team Dawson’s youngest litigator to bring the smoking gun in that we already had a splinter!
Alas our man was dubbed America’s Best and was confirmed with the slightest hint of disgust for his new name and glowing smugness from the Honkmaster.
Welcome America’s Best, great effort and continuing to strengthen our 40 north club with iron strong pax. The lineage of Yankee Jeaux becoming legendary even while he basks in the white sands of ….Florida with Ronnie D.
COT and Diddle prayed us out
As always its a great privilege to lead you men, grateful for your willingness to show up, beat the darkness and keep hammering.
PAX today I challenge you
The moment , you own it , you better never let it go
Lose Yourself in the service of others
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
