The weather this morning may have been the closest to perfect F3 weather that exists. The PAX were grateful for a cool breeze and dry grass, especially as the burpee count continued to rise. PAX: Goose, Percolator, Enron, Pope, Coyote Warmup: SSH, WM, AC (fore, back), Cherry pickers, IW, Self …
Four PAX made their way to the stage this morning for a much warmer than prior day’s beatdown. It was YHC’s first Q of the year and first overall foray into the world of backblasting. Soreness in the shoulders from Goose’s Q on Tuesday helped direct the course of today’s …
Five PAX quickly populated the Stage this morning, bundled up and grateful to have a solid group to start the new year, though trepidatious about YHC’s suggestions to grab a pair of gloves from the stinky pile. No coupons in site, so prolonged contact with frozen grass and concrete were …
Six PAX gathered Saturday morning at a thickly decorated Peltch with high hopes that a game would provide a needed break from what had been a grinding week of brutal beatdowns. It didn’t. Warmup: SSH, WM, AC, IW, SL (the favorites) Thang: A 3 on 3 game of ultimate frisburpee …
YHC figured it would be good to introduce the Thibodaux PAX to the tradition of a 12 Days of Fitmas beatdown including some high energy Christmas tunes (Mannheim, Trans Siberian, etc.), but it was difficult to remember exactly how long these have lasted in the past. Did the 12-exercise inverse …
YHC rolled up hot, about three minutes late, just before Enron could take over and lead the group in 45 minutes of straight jump squats. (He’s fired up to get everyone feeling his pain after posting solo on Saturday and completing 150 jump squats after a three mile run. I …
For the first time in history, a total of five men fought their way out of the fart sack to post at the Stage on a Tuesday morning. It’s amazing what a difference one more guy makes on the morale of a group of sweaty dudes pushing their limits on …
I know it says Zoolander was the Q for this one, but that’s only because YHC’s name isn’t on the dropdown menu yet. And, it was ultimately Zoo’s idea to get the fellas from down the bayou to Q a November Lakefront beatdown, and we couldn’t be more grateful! YHC …
What a great day it was, as today’s experience crystallized the essence of F3 in so many ways. YHC awakened, checked my phone and noticed a text from cowbell, inquiring on the status of the beatdown on behalf of the PAX from Nola who were preparing to cross the causeway. …
It is with great sadness and much gratitude that I write my last backblast as a regular member of the Northshore F3 family. (I trust you’ll forgive the length!) As I shared with the men this morning, F3 has been an overwhelming answer to prayer, and as Bushwacker reminded me, …
