Seven strong posted for Scramble at 0515. A little cooler temps than expected this am as a result of the storm that rolled through Mandeville yestereve. Personally still adjusting to the time change and shaking the cobwebs off at the early hour is still a work in progress. Q arrived …
Because I love y’all too much baby. And so it began, the 2nd annual Merkin Trap on the lakefront. Last year around this time we did 400 Merkins, could it be topped? I think so. 18 PAX converged at the Lakefront today (without Gnats!) to make ourselves better. It could …
It was a draw. The Gnats mobilized early and mounted a fierce attack, but the PAX persevered and evened the score with a strong showing. It all started with a burpee heavy warmup which, in all honesty, wasn’t much of a warmup at all. It was The Thang from the …
As YHC has/am learning, a large part of being a parent is nothing more than a glorified chauffeur/ATM. If you are Pickaxe’s dad, you can add scribe into the mix. An excuse to get in my cave and crack some AC/DC while I write. So all good! Pickaxe has been …
I love baseball. I love everything about it. Because I love it so much, I have been wanting to Q a baseball inspired beatdown for a while. While 50 degrees in a sweet December gloom doesn’t necessarily lend itself to thoughts of afternoons under the blue skies, maybe the following …
Woke up early to this beautiful, cool, dry morning to setup the field in front of Audubon Zoo with our F3 flags. Then I moseyed to our usual Birdcage COT spot to meet up with 45 other PAX to celebrate F3Nola’s 6 year anniversary. Before the disclaimer, I told the …
Tick, tock, tick, tock. Who’s the Q? With no reply, YHC stepped up. Off to the soccer field. Warm-up: SSHs 20xIC, Imperial Squat Walkers 19xIC, pulses 20xIC, Bat Shit Crazies 20 each xIC. Mosey to the levee for some 11s: V-ups at the bottom from 10 to 1 and jump …
7 brave PAX ventured into the windy gloom this morning to tackle week 3 of the Iron PAX Challenge: https://f3greenwood.com/2020/09/13/2020-ironpax-challenge-week-3-keep-it-simple-stupid/ Shit got real very quickly, and I didn’t feel like I was missing out on the 100 merkins to start. Fast forward to the end – less than :45 across …
Where’s the Q? Who’s the Q? Mass chaos, so YHC stepped up. Mosey around the clubhouse parking lot to the Stern Music Stand. 1st Circle of Pain: SSHs 20x IC, Low Slow Squats 20x IC, Squat Pulses 20x IC, Hill Billies 20x IC, Grass Grabbers 20x IC, Parker Peters 20x …
13 PAX braved the feels like temp of 93 degrees and the threat of storms this morning at the Birdcage. We were lucky to avoid the torrential downpours that immediately followed our COT, and I thoroughly kicked my own ass during this beatdown. Hats off to my fellow F3 brothers …
