Tag: City hall Scramble

With a call coming in @ 0500 from Jose 10k it could only mean one thing. Can you cover the Q? Well sure, however I must T-👏🏼 both him and Speedy for both still posting even though they knew the arrival would be 10-15 mins behind. So with nothing planned YHC stalled as long as he could to allow time for the late arrival..

warmup

Toe touch’s, Windmills, Torso twist, SSH, Butt Kicks all IC to 20. Lap around the walking trail. Leg lunges for about 30 yards..

All PAX ran the standard route minus the loop through Hermitage with the exception of Waterpik and Cowbell getting in some lagniappe. Cowbell had no time for the warmup taking off for 45 minutes of straight running. Sir Wacker graciously paced with the Q the whole run, and another T-👏🏼 to Cobra for pushing through as well. Jose10k and Speedy caught the PAX on the return.

Returned with some time to knockout Mary. 20 IC Crunchy Frog, Little Manny crunches, 100s, and 20 Merkins OYO..

Thanks to Cowbell for praying is out..

Till the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

It was another hot and muggy one this gloom, but a good turnout with 10 guys ready to sweat it out – including a surprise appearance from Garfield. YHC liked Shooters idea to mix in intervals, and having learned that containing the PAX was not ideal  – went with the Landmark Fartlek.

Warm Up x10 IC: SSH, Self Love, High Knees, Toe Touches, Torso Twists

THANG

Slow jog to starting point at Villere Street.

Sprint 1 street, modest pace for the next 2 streets, rinse and repeat to Marigny and return.

PAX stayed together for the first few legs with some mumble-chatter, then the thoroughbreds bolted. We all split into our respective groups and pushed on back to the flag

With 15 minutes remaining, and intense soreness from Moby’s tire and chain beatdown – we took a 5 minute breather and finished up with core. Hello Dolly, leg raises, Rosalita, and LBC’s x 10 IC.

Zoolander gave us a demonstration of the Pistol Squat as we pondered how to obtain Amnesia-like quads.

Announcements | COT:  Gnarly Nutria in 2 weeks, Praises from Shooter, YHC prayed us out with thanksgiving and protection.

Thanks for letting me lead

Till next gloom – Akbar

Well, 6 PAX circled in anticipation of the Wacker’s arrival. As the clock ⏰ struck 0515 site Q present took charge of the helm. Brief warmup all IC 15 Toe touches, Grass grabber, Windmills, Scorpion kicks, reverse dying cockroach (actually Superman or something of similar comparison), Torso twist, Cherry pickers and 15 OYO squats.

Started our Mosey with Zoolander asking about intervals and with no plan of a repeat from the week before YHC started thinking of Steve and his days previous ascend at the Courthouse. So Q decided the PAX would complete exercises at each passing of Monroe/Massena. Anticipating 4 rounds YHC and the PAX could only pull off 3 rounds.

R1 15 of each Merkins, Big boy sit-ups, jump squats, R2 20 R/R, R3 25 R/R. With time running short PAX arrived back 3 min late for a quick count, COT with Speedy who graciously prayed us out..

👊🏼👍🏼✌🏼 Till the next Gloom

Well YHC learned this morning that you get what you pay for, and just because the voice is the same doesn’t mean the result will be. 10 PAX assembled at the Scramble this Gloom for our normal 5k. Q decided he would like to bring back a similar format offered up by Chewy awhile back. After being destroyed by Cowbell the previous day Q knew he would not be paying attention to any upper body on this day, with the exception of loosening up some of the soreness already being felt. When Zoolander says he is sore, than you know the previously delivered beatdown was torture. PAX warmup consisted of 10IC Torso twist, Toe touches, Windmills, Superman’s, Scorpion kicks Imperial Walkers and ATM circles..

Instructions for the 5k Mosey a modest pace for 2:30 then sprint for 25 secs R/R the whole time.. Wanting to contain the PAX would prove impossible, Waterpik, Cowbell and Steve harnessed as long as they could but once we made the turn off they went.. Zoolander and Akbar kindly made sure Jose 10k didn’t take the wrong turn then caught up with the PAX at the pier for a brief moment till Zoolander unleashed on the final straightaway to catch the thoroughbreds out front.. Goose graciously accompanied the Q while Speedy and Pixie Stixs respectably paced the majority of the way and finished strong..

With time remaining YHC decided to focus on core for the rest.

20IC 100s, Freddie Mercury’s, Little Manny Crunches and finished with a repeat of 100s..

T 👏🏼 to Jose 10k and the dedication to go out of his way to not only pickup Speedy but also to journey further South to post with his F3 Mandeville brethren.

Now I did hear some mumble chatter about how it would be nice to have an AO close to ones area..

Suggestion:

Also T 👏🏼 to our young leaders in Pixie Sticks and Speedy for being disciplined to post on such early Glooms.

Thanks to Waterpik for leading us out in 🙏🏼!

Till the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

With beatdowns returning to normal operation, Q decided to incorporate a different route picked up from the underground post of weeks past. Generally PAX would run the loop and back out down to the point, but this Gloom instruction was given to head up Monroe to West Beach then take to the lakefront down to Girord up to Florida instead (alternate called by the Thoroughbreds Cowbell, Zoolander, Steve) left on Livingston which proved to be a good choice considering we would have less traffic while sticking to the back roads.. With the Q bending Waterpik’s ear the entire run time passed quickly although we added 1.2 extra miles from the regular route. Total 4.37 at 8:55 pace. Goose and Akbar could be heard pulling the 6 with some chatter as well..

Prior to the run PAX completed a warmup consisting of 10IC Toe touches, Torso twist, Scorpion kicks, 20IC SSH, Butt kicks and Lunge walk 20 yards.

Finished with 1 min and completed 20IC Little Manny crunches..

Appreciate you men posting!

👊🏼👍🏼✌🏼 Till the next Gloom

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….

It is a period of civil war. A young rebel PAX, striking from the hidden base of Wacker Fortress, stepped forth to claim his 1st victory against the evil empty Q sheet.

During the battle, rebel spies witnessed IC x15: Cherry Pickers, Imperial Walkers, Torso Twists, High knees, and Squats done with enough power to destroy an entire planet.

Pursued by the Empire’s sinister agents, the PAX races along the usual Mandeville route aboard their swift feet, custodians of the stolen plans that can save their people and restore freedom to F3 Northshore…

Upon their return, they each did reps at an exercise station while 2 men did 5 Burpees, 10 Freak Nasties, and 15 Squats – then rotated.

With the Empire still at their heels, the rebel PAX counted off, name o rama, and were lead safely out of evil’s reach by Hammer.

It is still a dark time for F3 Northshore. Although the Death Star has been destroyed, imperial troops have driven Baby Yoda from his hidden base in Big Branch and pursued him across St. Tammany Parish.

Evading the dreaded imperial star fleet, a group of freedom fighters lead by Baby Yoda, Bushwacker, Steve, Goose, and the other F3 rebels has established new Q sign ups on the desolate and icy Q sheet.

The evil Lord Darth Fartsack, obsessed with keeping the Q sheet empty, has dispatched thousands of remote probes into the far reaches of the northshore to find out why so many PAX are refusing to put forth the down PAINMENT as a leader of men…. as 10 year old Baby Yoda has…..

Stay tuned for Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Saturday at the Lakefront

YHC arrived at the Scramble with sights of Steve turning into the parking lot.. Shortly there after Bushwacker and Waterpik roll in and we start the warm up.. Thoughts of Cowbell possibly rolling in hot we begin with all IC 10 SSH, Touch touches then lights come around the corner as Goose joins the PAX for the final two (Unnamed maybe) legs wide Palm to the ground touches and backup closing with Windmills..

PAX journeyed 20 mins out and 20 mins back.. Total actually 4.25 miles..

“As for the Finger, sometimes you deserve it and sometimes it’s unavoidable”

Thanks to Wacker for closeout with 🙏🏼!

✌🏻👊🏻👍🏻 Till the next Gloom

Brief warmup 10IC Windmills, Toe Touches, Good mornings OYO 10 squats.. Time to start running with hopes of missing the rain.. Well we were good till about 20 mins in before our first monsoon of sorts. We turned up a side street to get some cover, however once we made it to Florida that’s when the buckets of water from above and below hit us.. Finished at the AO with 4.22 miles logged as Waterpik took us out with COT…

Thanks for posting and staying the course through the tough weather this morning PAX..

Till the next Gloom 👍🏻👊🏻✌🏻!!!

Maybe the Q should have thought this one out a little more.. Arrived to the Scramble with light numbers expected. However this Gloom would produce a first timer at the Scramble, welcome Goose! Lacking 2 regulars (Wacker and Cowbell) the PAX enjoyed a moderate pace beating the rain drops..

warmup

All IC10 Good mornings, Imperial Walkers, Torso twist, Scorpion kicks, Superman, High knees and Butt kicks..

Moseyed our traditional route with a 9 min pace returning to the AO with some “Black Jack” planned..

Well the PAX started in with Burpees and Jump Squats.. 1-20, 2-19, 3-18, etc. etc. etc.

Hammer quickly multiplied the numbers and stated the PAX would have completed well over 200 reps of each. However, the time paused the PAX at the number 8 which if given in a game of “Black Jack” in pairs would prove to be a great split hand so presumably we will pickup this hand in the future..

Appreciate the post men and thanks to Waterpik for closeout in prayer!!

👍🏻👊🏻✌🏻 Till the next Gloom!!
