Pre-Thang

It was beautiful morning in the Gloom with temperatures right where they needed to be and low humidity.  After battling some slight tendonitis from Hawgcycle’s stupid idea of running 6 miles before last Saturday’s Backblast, YHC arose this AM ready to bring down the pain with minimal running to protect the foot.

Warm-Up

Mosey over to Touchdown Jesus for COP:

  • COP IC: Seal Jacks x 30, Hillbillies x 20, Plank Walks x 15, Plank Jacks x 15

The Thang

Mosey to benches by Wolfpack Mountain.

  • IC: Step Ups (Left) x 15, Hip Slaps x 20, Derikans on slow count x 12, Step Ups (Right) 15

Mosey to Tulane Pull-Up Bars for Circuit Training.  Get into pairs:

  • Count is on group doing 15 burpees, Toes-to-bar or knees-to-elbows, dips, decline plank, squats

Mosey to Wolfpack Mountain for more circuits.  Pair off.  Partner 1 runs up 1st floor ramp and down stairs while partner 2 completes exercise until flapjacking.  Exercises:

  • Cross-Fit Merikans, Real Freddie Mercury, Monkey Humps

Mosey back to the flag for some Mary:

  • COP IC: LBC x 40, Russian Twists x 15, Hello Dolly x 15, LBT x 20, High Dolly x 15

Name-O-Rama: 11 showed up this fine morning with one FNG representing the 99th F3 NOLA member.  Douille had to skedaddle a little early, but he went hard this morning.  YHC noticed several newer faces as well.

Shout Out: Reluctant Yankee has 5 FNG’s showing up to next Monday’s Backblast out at Pontiff Playground in Metairie.  Let’s make an effort to get more guys out there so the FNG’s don’t out number us.  These FNG’s will put us over the 100 count goal for one year F3 NOLA.  Also, Yankee still has the discount code for Mobile Spartan race next Saturday if anyone wants to partake.

Prayers go out to the families in South Carolina experiencing the flooding disaster.  Also, thoughts are with Rev and Yuengling in their new cities.  We give thanks for allowing each of us to get up this morning for a strong workout that makes us all better men.
