  • 24032 Venti -RCR – from Sea Man

    In celebration of RCR, a massive wave of PAX sojourned into the gloom towards the river! Even Whoppers Delicate Machine was eager for a Double Esspresso! The Venti now consists of 3 Routes:

    Route 1 – The Esspresso – AKA IR Layup a walk down St Charles to Adams and to Starbucks
    Route 2 – Venti – down uptown side of the park, across Magazine, first right to the levy, sprint up the levy post Army Corps, to Carrolton to Starbucks.
    Route 3 – Grande Venti – down the uptown side of the park and continue round past the Golf Course. Cross Magazin towards the Grotto and Avenger Field then follow the levy to the standard Venti.

    We all rallied at Starbucks, for Dong Phong where exceeded the dBs of Baristas ears. We filed down Magazine like a bunch of middle aged Frat Dudes + O’Dulles + Tree Frong + Bubbles. TUPD was very confused as they past us.

    A lot of guys have been bringing their 2.0s on these runs and it has been fun. Routes 2 & 1 are done a clydesdales talking pace.

    Talking is the mission of the venti! Back in March a guy Justin Erenworth took his life and left a wife and 2 young kids with a lot of questions. Recentlly Peppa has had 2 HIMs from his Navy days take their life, and just last week Wilson & I, our friend lost their 16 yr old to suicide. So this give us a time to talk and be there for one another. Not everyone can stick around for coffee or “COFFEE” w/ Almonaster!

  • DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS COMPLAINT – from Jingle Vader

    IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION FOR THE REGION OF NEW ORLEANS

    F3 NATION, et al.
    Plaintiffs,
    v.

    F3 NOLA, JINGLE VADER (Q), et al.
    Defendants

    Civil Action No. 24-0001

    DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS COMPLAINT

    In the matter of F3 NOLA vs. F3 Nation, the defendants, hereafter referred to as F3 NOLA, hereby move for dismissal of the charges brought forth by F3 Nation. The allegations assert that individuals participating in workouts at Wolfpack Mountain fail to produce a summary of their activities, commonly referred to as a “Backblast.”

    I. Grounds for Dismissal:

    1. The defendants plead that their reluctance to provide a Backblast is rooted in their status as Luddites, demonstrating an aversion to modern technological practices.

    2. F3 NOLA asserts that their indifference extends beyond matters unrelated to Uptown New Orleans, rendering the requirement for a Backblast irrelevant to their operational ethos.

    3. The defendants argue that the language employed in workouts is often unsuitable for a professional environment, thus justifying their refusal to produce such documentation.

    4. F3 NOLA contends that the imposition of Backblasts may inadvertently subject them to unwarranted scrutiny regarding allegations of child abuse, posing a potential risk to their reputation.

    5. The defendants maintain that their objection to Backblasts is grounded in their general aversion to being directed or supervised, asserting their autonomy in matters related to workout documentation.

    In light of the aforementioned grounds, F3 NOLA respectfully requests this Honorable Court to grant the motion to dismiss, thereby absolving them of the charges brought forth by F3 Nation and allowing them to focus on Side Straddle Hops, Low Slow Squats, Burpees, Hillbillies, Blimp Ladders, Dora and Mary (which includes Twisties).

    QUICK FACTS ABOUT BEARS
    There are around 180,000 to 200,000 brown bears worldwide. Most of them live in Alaska, Canada and Russia where the brown bear can still roam vast areas almost unpopulated by human beings and covered in forests.
    – Burpees – 10 OYO
    The brown bear can reach a weight of between 150 and 370 kilogrammes depending on age, sex and season.
    – LBC’s – 20 IC
    Despite their weight, the animals can cover short distances at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
    – Burpees – 10 OYO
    Brown bears are generally loners who will only seek a mate for short periods.
    – Squats – 20 IC
    At birth, bear cubs are blind and naked.
    – Burpees – 10 OYO
    In the wild, these omnivores spend up to 16 hours a day looking for food, which is reflected in the saying ‘hungry as a bear’.
    – Freddie Mercury’s – 20 IC
    Bears have a particularly good nose: their sense of smell enables them to sniff food at a distance of several kilometres.
    – Burpees – 10 OYO
    Brown bears in the wild are mainly active at dusk and at night.
    – Lunges – 20 IC
    In the wild, brown bears can reach a maximum age of between 20 and 30 years. In captivity, they can get even older.
    – Burpees – 10 OYO
    The brown bear is the largest predator still living on the continent of Europe.

  • Coin Flip – from Tinkles

    First Q of the year so I’ll try a backblast! Hoping it sticks!

    Looking for something a little different we tried a coin flip beat down. Heads = an exercise, Tails = an exercise. If head or tails is hit two times in a row, that exercise is retired and replaced with a new one. The concept has potential.

    Warm up: standard items.

    We started out with heads = burpees, tails = long running loop. First two flips were heads and burpees were dropped for squats. Everyone recalled the probability word problem from 5th grade and deduced this had a 1/8 chance of happening. The 4th heads in a row at a chance of 1/16 did not happen. The whole workout:

    10 burpees
    10 burpees
    30 squats
    Long loop

  • Murph Prep Monday – from Landing Strip

    Twas a light showing this new year’s morning, with 6 brave souls showing up to start the year off right. One of my new year’s resolutions is to complete the Murph Challenge this Memorial Day. That’s a 1 mile run, 100 Pull-Ups, 200 Merkins and 300 Squats and another 1 mile run. This morning’s workout was the first of several to prepare the PAX for that.

    Warmup
    In-place: 20 SSHs, Self Love OYO and 20 Grass Grabbers.

    Tha Thang
    We then proceeded with a circuit of 5 Pull-Ups, 10 Merkins and 15 Squats, followed by a mosey down to the shelter and back. I got 8 full circuits in, plus 2 more partials (hanging for 10 seconds in lieu of Pull-Ups).

    Mary
    A round-robin of Penguins, Crunch Frogs, J-Los and Scissor Kicks.

    Shoutouts
    -Couch, for bringing 2 FNGs to this morning’s workout
    -Acorn and Hawk Talk, said FNGs, who along with Couch, rung in the new year at Tipitina’s last night and then posted this AM
    -JV, for actually completing the Pull-Up / Merkin / Squat components of the Murph on the first day of the year
    -Willie, for showing up (albeit a few minutes late)

    If anyone is reading this, I’d propose we start future holiday, or holiday adjacent workouts (e.g. day after Thanksgiving) at least 30 minutes later than usual.

    Happy new year people!
