Preamble:
Today marked my 1-year anniversary since joining F3. I told the guys we’d bring back the same beatdown that crushed me on day one. We also welcomed a FNG: Ricardo Sánchez.Warm-O-Rama:
Classic warm-up at the dam to get things moving: Hillbillies, Copperhead Squats, Weed Pickers, Toy Soldiers, Arm CirclesThe Thang:
When we got to the baseball field, FannyPack reminded us that he had been the Q there a year ago, a pretty dirty BD and listening to The Who. This time the field gave us the same combo: dirt, wet grass, and a few PAX trying hard not to get dirty… come on guys, this is F3, not Pickleball. We ran the 7 of Diamonds around the bases, doing the following at each stop: 7 Burpees 14 Big Boys 21 Imperial Squat Walkers 28 SSH 21 Merkins 14 Lunges (single count) 7 Absolutions — just 2 quick rounds at the end, due to time After the 6th round, we took the hill back to the flag, stopped in the parking lot, and closed with 2 rounds of Absolutions. Despite the early complaints about getting dirty, no one really ended up a mess, and Starbucks let us in with no problems.COT:
Prayers went up for: The Goldberg’s family, a friend of Townie, FannyPack’s mother-in-law and Sparkie’s mother-in-law. And a big welcome to FNG Ricardo Sánchez, now forever known in the gloom as Vespa.Naked-Man Moleskin:
Thanks to everyone who made it out today. It’s been an awesome yearin F3.
We wrapped it up with a solid coffeeteria—great coffee, even better conversation. Topics started with vasectomies, and… well, sorry, you’ll have to show up at coffeeteria next time to hear how it ends.
I’ll do my best to make sure my next manniversary beatdown is in Chile… and of course, you’re all welcome.
