After YHC’s run on Tuesday, he was exhausted. He comforted himself with the knowledge that tomorrow was Wednesday, and he could take the morning off, sleep in a few minutes, and do some reading.
At 12:06pm on Tuesday, YHC received a text
Hawg: Reminder that you have the Q at El Diablo tomorrow.
YHC Response: Oh I forgot.
Hawg: You are good? You can do it?
YHC Response: None sent
YHC awoke at 4:50am this morning with zero desire to run around Pontiff park and lift rocks. YHC wanted to sleep. YHC wanted to sleep and read. Thanks to Hawg and his stupid texts, he got out of bed, dressed for F3, walked out into the rain, and drove to Pontiff Park.
YHC prayed a simple prayer on his drive to Pontiff. “Please Lord keep everyone home, so YHC doesn’t need to Q this morning. Encourage my brothers to rest or at least go to other AOs today.” In the Lord’s goodness, He did not give YHC the answer he sought. 7 Pax join YHC this morning.
Following the most encouraging disclaimer in F3 NOLA history, “I don’t want to be here. I am not looking forward to this, and I made no plans for this workout. This is obviously not a professional workout. Don’t hurt yourself.” The Pax was off to mosey to the rock pile.
The Warm-Up
SSH – 27
Imperial Walkers – 20
Shoulder taps – 20
Annies – 20
Hillbillies – 20
At this point Mahatma mentioned that he brought the wood, so YHC made an audible and decided to do something from different from his initial workout plans of nothing. Pax! Mosey to Mahatma’s truck.
Sadly there were only six wood pieces in the back of Mahatma’s truck, so with eight Pax in total, YHC went the Dora route to make use of the wood.
Dora on the Football Field
Pair off for 100 rows, 200 curls, 300 chest press all with the wood. The partner runs forward to mid-field and backwards on the return trip to his partner while the partner knocks out the exercises.
Route 66 but Not Really
Drop the wood off at the flag, mosey to the rock pile, grab a rock, and go to the field lined with trees.
10 trees are our markers. One shoulder press with rock at tree one. Two shoulder presses at tree two… Between the trees do one genuflect after the shoulder presses and then lunge walk to the next tree. Final set with 10 shoulder presses, so not a true Route 66.
Return your rocks

Flutter kicks – 20
Wife pleasers – 20
Hello Dolly – 15
Penguins – 15
Mosey Back to the Flag
The Closing
Count-Off, Announcements, Intentions, Prayer in a Sweaty Ball of Man
Thank you men for allowing YHC the privilege to lead. He didn’t want to be there, but as always, the men of F3 make YHC a better man, and he can only hope to do the same for all of you.
And Rudy said my book is the 2nd best book he has ever read after the Bible.
