Non-exercising partner ran all the way down the nearby stairwell, across to the other stairwell, and all the way back up.

March of the Penguins – from Willie
As the month of March approaches its end, so does the March of the Penguins CASUP (1000 Penguins per day in the month of March). Special shout out to @Sandbar, and @Sogo for accompanying me on this journey. Also, a big thank you to the Qs this month who added extra penguins to their workout. That does not included @Douille who did 3 total penguins at Misty Mountain last Saturday.
Yours truly rolled into the workout right at 5:30AM, dressed in a Penguin onesie, with Welcome to the Jungle blaring on the bluetooth speaker. My standard music rules applied. The PAX can skip a song with a 10 burpee penalty for the entire group. After the standard disclaimer, we moseyed to the field for a warm up, all in cadence.
SSH x 20
Imperial Walkers x 20
Mountain Climbers, Peter Parkers, Parker Peters x 15 each
Self Love OYO for 1 minute
Arm Circles Reverse/Forward x 10
Hillbillies x 20The PAX then made it’s way to the statue in front of the zoo, and partnered up for a not so traditional DORA. The only exercise was 600 Penguins 2/1. Partner 1 ran the small loop while Partner 2 banged out penguins. We had 2 skips during the DORA, resulting in 20 burpees. The skipped songs were “Living on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi and “Spoon Full of Sugar” from the Mary Poppins sound track.
The next transition was a run to the bandstand where the PAX circled up on stage for the Name That Tune challenge. The songs on this playlist are all songs that we know and love, but they are sung in a Lounge Singer style by the one and only Richard Cheese. The PAX did 30 Penguins 2-1 while the song played, then the PAX to the left had to guess either the song title OR the original artist. Get it right and we continue with penguins, a wrong answer gets the PAX 20 merkins. Some of the songs played were hits like, “Baby Got Back”, “Gin and Juice,” “Brass Monkey,” and “Been Caught Stealing” just to name a few. The PAX did pretty well as we only had 2 wrong answers resulting in 40 merkins. With 6:15AM approaching we made our way back to the flag for the standard COT.
It is a pleasure to lead these men in a workout, and I appreciate the PAX indulging me in my crazy ideas.

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.
DefendantsCivil 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).
Dated: January 12, 2024
Respectfully submitted,

Workout Q

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
