YHC took us out with a prayer of thanksgiving for this day and for the brothers of F3. Lifted up the families of Fudd, Lockjaw, Sippy Cup and Circle K.
NMS:
YHC started to get worried about the condition of the AO right after Dogpile Saturday when the current monsoon that we are having began. YHC and Lowery (not an F3 name), YHC’s faithful four-legged 2.0, moseyed up to the AO on Sunday afternoon during a break in the weather. The field was only suitable for Labradors that love to swim! YHC had some exercises planned for the field using his BIG CONES, but other plans had to be made.
16 is one PAX short of tying the record at Hoedown.
Slurpee and YHC showed up early to the AO because of YHC’s anxiety with EF Hutton already there and ready to go. Then the cars started rolling in. I had been expecting a small group and what I got was a large one. Never underestimate the dedication of your fellow PAX!!
YHC’s cheap timekeeping device stopped working during Mary and a guess was made after Mary was over that it was 6:15. YHC called out Number-rama and was quickly told that we had 5 minutes left. Thus, the Merkin ring-of-fire and Burpees. YHC also learned that when you Q, 45 minutes seems like an hour!
YHC was relaxing on his couch Sunday evening when all of a sudden the Tweets came in! A couple of the PAX(Honeydo and Splinter) tweeted that YHC would have a hard time sleeping last night and that he would be practicing the workout in his head all night. YHC actually slept well until 3:45am when he woke up and laid there not wanting to miss the alarm clock.
YHC would like to thank everyone for their support and encouragement! I had a great time and will be putting my name on the Q sheet today for future workouts! I also want to thank Keymaster for getting me involved in my first F3 workout in October, but it is the rest of you that have kept me coming back!!
Have a great Monday!!

Thanks for letting lead you men this morning! It was a pleasure!
For a VQ you nailed it like a pro – absent the premature finish of course…(although that can be expected for one’s first time at bat I suppose). You also introduced a few new items that I’m sure will show up again
Kubota could give lessons on how to start a COP: Helicopters, to DQ’s, and THEN to SSH’s…now that is a proper warmup.
Hope Gomer’s ankle is doing ok.
Solid VQ Kubota. Enjoyed your version of crabcakes.
Awesome VQ buddy, definitely nailed it!! Loved the bear crawls, crawl bears w Merkins, arms and shoulders are smoked!
Look forward to many more Kubota Q’s, well done man!
Solid VQ Kubota. Great to see 16 pax out! I thought your clockwork merkin call was easy to understand. Sad to see no “Dong release” exercises in your VQ but guess since Splinter wasn’t there that makes sense…
Good stuff Kubota. Now sign up for another 🙂
Great job Kubota – love the preparation buddy… Welcome to the Q list!
See y’all in the gloom…
Ha! I actually drew a blank and couldn’t remember how to do them.
Yeah, we will save those for Splinter! Thanks for the use of the shovel flag.
Done!
Well done. You nailed it. Almost all of us probably woke up an hour or two early for our first Q.
Pyle, hope that ankle does not swell up!
Solid looking VQ, Kubota. Well done!
Sleep deprivation and loss of time are common symptoms of the VQ. There’s a pill for that – the DRP with regular side of Q.
Look forward to enduring a Kubota Q soon.
Forgot about Gomer Pyle’s ankle. I hope you are okay buddy!
Thanks for the concern gentlemen. Did not swell up terribly – but I had ice on it today. Will give it another day and get it checked out.
Leg raise merkins and abs here I come!
Kubota – Great Q this AM. Just like an old pro with a solid beat down. Good use of the terrain and cadence was solid. Looking forward to more!
Gomer, hope the ankle is ok and you are back on the streets soon.
Good job!
I remember way back to a few weeks ago when I did my first Q.
I spent a lot of time preparing the opening routine and memorizing it. Then went to bed.
About 2am I woke up and thought “crap! That’s only half the workout!”
I perused the Exicon for some ideas and then got another hour or so of sleep. Drifting off to ponderous thoughts like “Isn’t a four count merkin the same as two merkins?”
Hated to miss this one Kubota but I had an early meeting in Baltimore. Sounds like you crushed your first Q, which is no surprise. Great job brother!! Hope to see you in the gloom soon.
Damn. Based on the feedback it looks like I missed a solid Q. I’ll be there for the next one Kubota. Nice job.
Dong Release signing off.
That’s some hilarious stuff right there, Bootleg!
Thanks for all the nice comments guys! See ya in the gloom!
Hell Yeah! Welcome to the rotation, Kubota!
Update. Fractured my 5th metatarsal. Boot and crutches. Now looking for a doctor that will tell me something other than stop running. Gitty up.
Still was a great Q Kubota.
That stinks! Man I feel responsible. Sorry that happened! Let me know if I can do anything for you. Get better soon!
Dude – that sucks – been there… so sorry to hear this news – listen take a day or two and we will see ya @ Ramm on Friday or @ Dogpile Sat for sure right 🙂
What a drag – sorry man but at the same time I’m glad you found out right away and didn’t further injure yourself. You’ll be back in the fight sooner. Heal quick homie.
Sorry to hear this. Rest it, don’t rush it, and we’ll be ready when you are back on your feet.
Still, keep coming to ETs. Looking forward to catching up.
