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!

I’m Such an Idiot – from Sea Man
I ordered a Grande.

Mutual Admiration Society – from Quincy
Uptown tundra at 50° could not keep 10 men away from the delights of the Gloom! We started our warmup completing Side Straddle Hops, Peter Parkers, Windmills, Grass Grabbers. We jogged to the statue of John James Audubon to impress him with arm circles at the insistence of Seeman, both counting up and counting down to show the famous bird man what the birdcage brothers can do. We continued Mathlete style doing Crazy 8’s in the parking lot with 10 Burpees, 20 Merkins, 40 Bonnie Blairs; counting down by subtracting 1 Burpee, 2 Merkins and 4 BB’s a round, Angie’s List said it looked good on paper, and I was proud to lead you nowhere while running in circles. Kong pointed out we were not going to finish my master plan on time as we did a few LBC’s, Russian Twists between sets, we ended with the 5/10/20 set.
Appreciate all of you for posting!
Double appreciate all those who were able to give blood yesterday: 54 donations at Children’s, the goal was 40! -
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).

Respectfully submitted,

Vent 23362 – from Sea Man
A chilly and quiet Audubon Park welcomed the pax! To the levy departed where an oncoming train dictated a change in route up Lower Line to St Charles, to Carrolton, to SB. The audible route added an extra .25 mile to the run. Pace maxed at 10:09. Devised a new aspect, the IR Layup. Pax on IR may saunter straight to SB and then return with rest of pax.

Venti 23355 – from Sea Man
We had 3 come out, an aspiring commuting cyclist tried to pass on the inside and confused everyone. We paced about 1034 to starbucks. Douille was kind to purchase cups of joe for everyone!

Venti – 23341 – from Sea Man
A slightly chilly morning kept many away from the park and the levy! But the intrepid Venti carried on with a krewe of 6 including 1 FNG. The pack moved briskly at 10 min pace to Starbucks where we had to wait for the Drip to finish. Could have used some of Couch’s Penicillin. Usualy saunter back to the flag. River, Srapes younger brother and first EH dubbed him Huck!

Venti 23285 – from Sea Man
A wet post cold front morning awaited the Venti as we ventured down the path! Devoid of the usual cast of characters, Moana managed to make the lone angry cycler irascible. In response to “ON YOUR LEFT”, Moana instinctively moved to his left blocking our nemesis incurring his disgust and wrath as he eventually slid by! At the Cooter Brown turn off, Badmoon riddled with guilt from Maria, continued to run, while the rest of us sojourned on to Star Bucks. StarBucks didn’t have any dark brew available but complete indifference and random instagram beverages. Bad Moon joined back up at Audubon and St Charles!

Smurph Mountain Misogi part 2 – from Sandbar
Same as before. Gather in groups of 4 of simliar speed – one to run for help and 2 to carry the body. Quick disclaimer. No Warmup. 5 mountains. 10 burpees at the bottom and top of each mountain. That’s a Century. Plus a mini- murph tucked into the middle with 25 pullups, 50 pushups, and 75 squats. Most everyone made it back by COT, but noone completed 5 mountains. The Rules of a Misogi (according to Michael Easter) are Rule 1: Make it really hard. Rule 2: Don’t die. Except for one pax spewing Martinelli’s, there were no casualties. But the Smurph Mountain Misogi remains a challenge.
