  • The Natty That Wasn’t – from Rudy

    32 degrees this am. One last night of freezing temps. YHC was parked in by his son, so instead of the Mini, Rudy Jr’s Jeep was the car of choice. Gotta say – I love the heated steering wheel. 15 PAX (including 2 DR visitors) braved the cold to join up at the Mothership.

    YHC had signed up for this Q on the hope that he would be celebrating the first Notre Dame National Championship in 36 years. Alas, while the Irish put up a good fight, it wasn’t meant to be. So the pre-planned Natty Q will remain on the shelf until next year. But YHC still brought the full Irish gear to stay warm and celebrate a good year.

    The Thang:

    Head to the Peristyle for some warm up exercises. The usual stuff. Some PAX grumbled that we didn’t do enough Peter Parkers, so YHC attempted to address their concerns with the Parker Peters.

    Head to the Great Lawn to celebrate MABA by getting our 100 burpees in.

    BUT FIRST: to please Catfish, lets go roll around in the frost covered grass for a quick round of X Factors. 12 PAX held a plank while waiting for Mayhem, Bongo and Triple Shift to decide to join on the grass (somehow, they thought “Circle up on me” meant “Go lie on the bricks over there”)

    OK, back to the Thang. 10 rounds. Each round starts with 10 Burpees, then “mode of transportation” to the cones (about 40 yards out), followed by Mosey back.

    Run, Nur (backwards run), Bear Crawl, Crab Walk, Lunge Walk, Duck Walk, Karaoke, Broad Jump, Partner Wheelbarrow (x2)

    NEXT: Mosey over to the rocks and partner up. At this point, YHC owned up to the fact that these next exercises were untested, but he’d read about them online. Lets try it and see what happens. Each exercise for 90 seconds.

    * Rock-passing Russian Twists
    * Leg Circles around partner’s feet (i.e., you both do leg circles but don’t hit each other)
    * Rock-passing Lunges (crowd favorite)
    * Partner Squats (only about 30 seconds – this one won’t be seen again)
    * Rock-passing Russian Twists the other way
    * Rock-passing back-to-back Wall sits
    * Might have been one more, can’t recall

    Mosey back to the Flag for COT.

    Several PAX praying for recent losses. Frac’s mom. Colonel Mustard’s good friend, Officer Bobby from SH, YHC’s FIL’s good friend Chip. It’s a natural part of life to be celebrated, but doesn’t always make it easier for those of us still here. Welcome them home, Lord. And grant us peace and serenity in their absence.

  • The Renni is a Boomin – from Fracsac

    19 Pax posted at the Renaissance looking to kick the week off right.
    Disclaimer given along with the 5 core principles and off we went to face the bacon for the warm up. During this time the pax were asked for the 5 core principles which they got. Then YHC asked for the Mission Statement. The pax called upon needed some help so he bought a phone a friend with 10 x 8 count body builders.

    Mini Dora from fountain to top of stairs.

    Move to tree line for some bear crawls and such with a little lunging.

    Back of the museum for 5 x Sunday mornings.

    A few minutes of Mary on the way back to the flag with a mental exercise resulting in burpees due to a failure.

    CoT

    NMM

    There was a time when the Renni really struggled to draw in Pax. YHC posted alone several times and had the pleasure of welcoming Hokie as the only other post for the first few months. YHC is now blessed to have so many HIMs join!
    It would have been 20, but the scheduled Q had to back out due to an illness. YHC was happy to step up!

    The time change gave us that rare 25 hours in a day. What to do with that extra hour? Heisenberg suggested a one hour pre Renni Ruck, which YHC was happy to indulge.

    10 years strong in Nola and we’re showing no sign of slowing down. Tclaps to all Pax that make F3 what it is.

  • Another Q for Sale – from Fracsac

    12 pax, including 1 DR that goes by the name Fuzzy, gathered at the Mothership to maintain their journey to live right.
    Disclaimer than mosey to the great lawn for a warmup.
    We tossed the frisbee and did some stuff.

    Broke out the big deck of cards. 4 pax called out for an exercise based on the suit.

    At about the midpoint of the beatdown YHC brought back “The Q is for sale!”
    5 burpee buy in, then roll the die to lead that exercise IC. From that point do as you like, the Q is yours. Only rule is it can’t be bought back and forth.
    Everyone kept to the cards for the most part afree purchase of the Q. Any mistake or upset of rules led to burpees. We did a lot of burpees.

    Time up, back to the flag

    COT

    – you know there were a lot of burpees when Catfish asked how many we did so far somewhere in the beat down
    – coffeteria enjoyed by many with the runners and many others that either fartsacked, were on IR, or just took the day off. Regardless, fellowship falls within F3, so come on out even if you don’t workout

  • Earned Coffeeteria on National Coffee Day – from Hokie

    10 Pax gathered at NOMA to earn coffeeteria rights on National Coffee Day

    Roll head counterclockwise
    Shoulder shrugs forward
    Shoulder shrugs backwards
    Arm circles forward

  • 127(ish) Burpees + other stuff – from Heisenberg

    I went to bed around 2 am on Saturday with little expectation making the Renaissance . A text message went out at 4:18 am requesting a replacement Q as Vagabond was ill. Duty called. The sky was clear and the starting temperature 41F. Feeling a bit hungover I volunteered to Q. I am not sure if this is exactly what happened, but it was something very close to this.
