  • Burpee Claus is coming to town

    Gentlemen, tis the holiday season, and we all know what that means; Burpee Claus is coming to town! So in honor of Burpee Claus and everything that he stands for (which is doing burpees), we did a traditional 6-10 Stomp this morning using the traditional Stomp route: the PAX ran for 6 minutes, then did 10 burpees for 1 minute (we did this 6 times, and then ultimately met back at the flag).

    T-claps to Hawg, Rev & War Eagle for running to the workout from Hawg’s house. I think they also aspired to run back to Hawg’s house as well once the beatdown was over, so they probably each logged 10+ miles this morning. T-claps also to Puddles, Amnesty’s dog, for joining us for the run.

    Once the beatdown was over, we did the count-off, name-o-rama, announcements, intentions & prayer. During announcements, Amnesty mentioned that he has a keg of F3 beer & that he will send some info out on Mumblechatter to let the PAX know when/where to meet if they would like to sample it. Mayhem & Holy Grove both had prayer intentions, so we concluded by lifting up their intentions, lifting up the unspoken intentions & then ultimately thanking the Sky Q for another day of F3 exercise & fellowship. Thanks for the opportunity to lead, fellas. I always enjoy it.

  • Stomp #177 – The Road Less Traveled

    Eight men posted this Tuesday to enjoy some cool crisp air and another F3 Stomp.  T-claps to Hawg for EH-ing his buddy in town from SC.  He used the word “mittens” right off the bat so there was some strong nickname material already in place.  The plan for the day was to alter the route and take the road less traveled, or possibly never traveled in an F3 workout.  After the disclaimer, we embarked on a 35min run south along Marconi, left on City Park Ave., then Moss St. along the bayou out as far as your pace allowed before heading back on the other side of the bayou and past the museum, then sweep the six if back before all eight PAX were at the flag.  T-claps to those who pushed hard and made it to/past the end of the bayou.  Some good f2 was enjoyed along the run as we covered between 4-5 miles. 

    We had approx 5-6 min left to cap things off with a “happy ending” on the neutral ground near the circle.  After getting some minds out of the gutter, we aimed to knock out 100 burpees Dora style with PAX#1 running around the circle while PAX#2 does burpees AMRAP.  The guys pushed hard and we got close but but time and energy was not on our side. 

    Back to the flag for the COT.  Welcome FNG Puppet Show who vowed to never return…he lives in SC and was in town for a short stay.  Great job men for continuing to push each other to get faster and stronger!

  • At 50 you earn respect

    Four brave men woke up early on a Fat Tuesday not to save a spot on a parade route but to better themselves on this day. There was a discussion on who should take the Q since nobody in the PAX signed up for this day. Tool volunteered and then somehow QIC took over, still do not know how that happened. Gave a quick disclaimer and we are off.

    Started with 25 merkins to start and we all ran to Canal St and we stopped after NOMA. QIC wanted to end the final stretch with some sprints from one light post to the next. Someone in the PAX(Tool) mentioned it would take too long so we sprinted to the third light post. We did this about 3x and moseyed back to the flag and ended with 25 merkins and slow dying cockroach x20.

    This was my 50 straight workout and everyone in the F3 that shows up is the reason why I keep making it to the workouts. #ironsharpensiron. God bless!  Kimchi

  • 610 Stomp #74, Resolutions & Regrets

    Not sure about you guys, but YHC just loves running in those 75 degree Januarys that Louisiana is so accustomed to.   A PAX of 8 (including a K9) met and shortly after polite greetings a disclaimer was given.

    The Thang…

    Traditional Route accompanied by Merkins up to your New Year’s Resolution.

    Amnesty – 200

    Cowbell – 170

    Da Parish – 125

    Hawg – 210

    Kim Chi – 180

    Shorty – 200

    Tool – 160

     

    The entire PAX started Merkins right away; and after getting a fair number in, the run began. A PAX of 3 came out the gate hard and, if my memory serves correct, completed 5 miles.  The rest of us completed a respectable 3 mile run.  However 1 unfortunate PAX returned to Graceland as he had to Elvis.

    Announcements include…

    • You can rest your knees w/ a Tuesday Ride at The Coastie aka Broke Bike Mountain
    • Amnesty is Q at Water World, a Thursday Swim AO at UNO Pool. I believe there’s some synchronized swimming involved.
    • There will be an F2 event this Thursday, 1/19 at 6:30 pm at The Basin on W. Harrison. A 3 mile run followed by drinks and sports at The Basin. (It’s finally happening!) https://www.facebook.com/groups/930543780411154/

     

  • 610 Stomp #65

    3 610 Stomp diehards gathered around the flag in the gloom on a brisk morning, ready to get warmed up.  YHC gave the disclaimer at 0530 on the nose, and the PAX was off.  This on time launch left one PAX in total disarray, but as a strong member of the F3 nation, DaParish refused to give up without taking on the Stomp with some burpees!  YHC, Rudy and Tool took to the traditional route and ran about 4.5 miles, no stopping, no burpees.  YHC is signed up to Q the next 610 Stomp, and F3 Nation can count on a change in the plans, perhaps incorporating some tradition into the mix.  If any PAX wants to know what to expect, gather around the flag and see!

    Tool and YHC were left in the dust by Rudy around Cabrini on the way back to the flag, but that was no surprise!  The PAX still finished strong!  Rudy ran a little extra, and the PAX all finished at the flag right at the 0615 mark.

    COT-count off, nameorama, announcements, intentions, and ended with prayer.

    T-Claps to DaParish for doing the Stomp on his own!  He even posted proof on Da Twitter!

    Thanks for letting me lead!

  • 610 Stomp #62

    4 610 stomp vets gathered around the flag and wondered who was Qing the most difficult AO in all of F3 land.

    Rudy and Tool took off to run the original route along the bayou.
    JV and Amnesty left to ruck a shorter route.

    No disclaimer was said. whoops.

    At least that’s how YHC assumed it went down.

    YHC arrived fashionably late and jumped in with the runners for one last run before the Jazz half this Saturday.

    Runners ran about 4.5 miles, no stopping, no burpees.
    JV rucked to Cabrini and back while Amnesty walked (ruckless) besides him.

    COT- count off, nameorama, announcements, intentions, prayer.

    Thanks for letting me lead, especially after being 3 minutes late!

  • 610 Stomp #24 – Bridge Bonanza

    Four brave souls gathered this morning for the usual Tuesday fix.  We were greeted with 70 deg temp along with a slight bit of breeze and mugginess.  With a fartsacking from the scheduled Q, YHC stepped in and ran something new by the crew:  A run on the usual 4.5+/- mile Moss St. route with a stop at every bridge and red light to do 5 burpees.  After a poem of some sort by Jingle Vader followed by the disclaimer, we were off and soon greeted by Side Effects who was only able to join us for the first part of the workout…t-claps for still posting.  The bridges and red lights were evenly scattered along the route making for 15 stops or 75 Burpees (w/o modifying).  That capped off with 10 more burpees for lagniappe made for a sweaty morning.  YHC managed to get tangled up in a lucky dog landmine somewhere near Banks St. but fortunately the injury (an smell) was not serious enough to hamper the completion of the mission.  While the bridge/red light stops made for a cool variation, the jury is still out on whether or not it made for a better workout.  It did take longer so a shorter route may be needed if this is used in the future.  JV closed us out with the prayer.  A good morning was had by all.
