  • Speed Walker – from MacGyver

    7 PAX showed up Saturday morning to ring in a new year the only way we know how, with a fun and relaxed get together.

    We all got together at the flag and started Warmups, Abe Vigotas x10 Imperial Walkers x 12 Side Straddle Hops x22.

    Then we Indian ran to the front of the Art Museum for AYOP Burpies. Time limit was set by how fast Q could finish theirs.

    We then mozed over to the far side of Big lake for more AYOP Burpies, after that we finished the lake loop at the bridge and did another set of AYOP Burpies.

    At this point burpies and running were old news, and we wanted to keep things interesting so naturally we ran again to the back of the museum for relaxing break of 25x donkey kicks on the wall. After that we ran back towards the Great Lawn stopping at a garden bed for Dips X 12, Bulgarian slow squats X 12, dips X 12, squatsX 20, LBC X22, and Flutter Kicks X22.

    We then finished our trip over to the Great Lawn for a little bit of team work, everyone picked a misery buddy, then one man did Buripes while the other bear Crawled across the field. When the Bear Crawler finished they started Buripes and their buddy started to bear crawl across the field to reunite the pack. Once we were grouped up again we did a murkin ring of fire, followed by Crunchy Frogsx22 Dr. W’s X ( 12 I think) Scissor kicks x22 and Big Boy sit-ups X10. After that we mosied back to the flag for one last set of Buripes everyone was too tired for, then COT

    The following evening Q remembered to write their First BB, in doing so they are pretty sure the missed 1-2 pax who attended and are definitely sure they missed a few exercises and messed up some of the counts, but I guess that better BB’s will come with experience.

  • Closing the Year Out in Stylish Misery – from Baywatch

    As most of the Lakeview crew knows, Baywatch loves his bear crawls. So, I was searching through the Exicon Tuesday night for something memorable (and miserable) and I found the No Mercy Mile. 2021 was merciless on many folks so I thought it appropriate to be the same for my last Q of the year.

    5 PAX joined me in the gloom. We headed over to the track for the warmup:

    SSH 20 IC
    Imperial Walkers 21 IC
    Hillbillies 20 IC
    Low Slow Squat 22 IC

    The Thang—No Mercy Mile

    We began at the mid point of front stretch on the track. Jog to turn 1: bear crawl to turn 2. Jog to mid point on back stretch. Do 25 merkins. Jog to turn 3: lunge to turn 4. Jog to starting point perform 25 squats. R & R three more times. At completion, we had bear crawled 400 yards, lunged 400 yards, performed 100 merkins and squats all while completing 1 mile.

    We all finished the mile with a few minutes to spare so we circled up for 3 minutes of stretching. To finish it off and in honor of our fearless Nantan, Fracsac, we closed it out with 5 burpees.

    Happy New Year! Thanks to you all for pushing me this year!

  • MISTLETOE, part deux (F3 traditional arr. By Sandbar, at a Caroling Pace) – from Sandbar

    Pax were forewarned that by the end of the beatdown, they would be the jolliest bunch of a-holes this side of the nut house.

    Mosey down St. Charles and back to Loyola. Warmups in front of the crèche. SSH, grassgrabbers, windmills. PAX divided into 4 groups, each had to select a carol they knew and could lead bc F3 is about leadership!

    Group 1 led the first mosey to the mountain with “We wish you a Merry Christmas.” Group 1 ran out of verses before we reached the mountain.

    At the mountain, PAX reformed for a Native American Run, and Group 2 led dashing through the garage while caroling with “Jingle Bells.” Running while singing is HARD.

    At level 5 we stopped for the 6 and did 15x Parker Peters, Mountain Climbers, and Peter Parkers IC. PAX reformed into a wassailing group and Group 3 led “All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth,” in honor of Bieber’s crash on Oak St. on Tuesday. It lasted for about 50 yards.

    On the top deck, PAX paired off for flapjack M-I-S-T-L-E-T-O-E. One pax did the exercise, while the other went down the stairs on level and ran back up.
    Merkins
    Imperial Walkers
    Squats
    Twists (LBTs)
    Louisville Lip
    Toe Taps (Penguins)
    Elf on the Shelf
    One leg calf raises
    El BCs

    After MISTLETOE, Group 4 led the caroling into the stairwell, with the 12 Yats of Christmas. YHC and other transplants only knew the traditional lyrics, but neither effort improved the other.

    Back the flag for COT.

  • Foundered It! (Foundry 2021-12-22) – from Catfish

    Conditions – Rather Chilly

    Kept moseying around the back road to the foundry. Grabbed 10 burpees at the entrance to the Celebration in the Oaks tunnel, then another 10 at the exit.

    Stopped at Foundry for an OYO quarter murph. Grabbed some LBTs and Pengin Toe Taps while waiting for the six.

    Moseyed to the museum and grabbed some stairs for:

    Side leg raises x 20 (in cadence)

  • Crawlin’ Into Daylight – from Baywatch

    Another glorious Wednesday morning brought out 9 PAX to test themselves at The Foundry. The disclaimer was given and we moseyed over to the track for a warmup.

    SSH 30 IC
    Arm Circles F/B 15 IC
    Peter Parker 20 IC
    Parker Peter 20 IC
    Imperial Walkers 20 IC I’ll
    Hillbillies 20 IC
    Monkey Merkins 10 IC

    After an Indian Run to The Foundry, we paired up for 2 rounds of:

    G1–pull ups
    G2–Decline merkins
    G3–BBS
    G4–leg raises
    G5–Timer group runs to track and does 5 burpees.

    Then we moseyed back to the track stopping at each light pole along the way for 5 air squats. Once back at the track, the real fun started…Bataan Death Crawls!

    From the F3 Exicon—A combination of Catch Me If You Can and a traditional Bear Crawl. The last person drops and does 5 Burpees,
    while the rest of the Pax Bear Crawl in a line. After completing the Burpees, the last guy runs to catch the group, tapping the (new) last Pax on the shoulder, who then stops to begin his 5 Burpees, while the (former) last guy continues on to the front of the line. Continue until all Pax have performed a set of Burpees, until the Q calls it or a certain distance has been reached.

    We did one full rotation. With PAX growing weary, we halted and did one last hurrah called Black Jacks. In short, it’s basically 11s but instead of 11s you do 21s. We did merkins on one end and BBSs on the other with about a 20 yard run in between. About halfway through the clock struck 6:15 and we headed back to the flag for COT.
