Twas a warm rainy dusk that YHC found himself alone at The Crossing questioning whether the solo glory would be his to earn, or if perhaps the emotional headlock of true brotherhood would win the day. Then, the unmistakable mean mean stride of Chaplain crossing the glistening hardtop caught YHC’s eyes and heart. Piercing the rainy gloom he cried “YYYAAAAHHHHHRRRRGGGG” – a true warrior’s battle cry defying the very gods of rain and thunder, and YHC knew, he was not alone to honor the Credo this night! Rain or shine, this PAX of two was bound for greatness.
The THANG:
QUAD-WARM -RAMA:
- 1800 hit, and the daring duo made a handsome mosey lap to then circle up for a simple warmerama with stretching and reps
- Headlights… FIGO inbound with M and 2.0’s, so the 2-PAX moseyed to the front of the church, and hallooed our #3
- BTTF and circle up for more stretching and reps
- Headlights…. HOUSE PARTY enters the scene, and it’s like a halo of light around the mountain of a man from the rain-shine
- Another mosey in honor of #4, followed by a few IC reps and stretches
- Welcome & Disclaimer
- Will we spend the entire evening welcoming LIFO PAX or actually launch into COP’s?!?
COP #1:
- MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN (MAHA) – The PETE & BOBBY CHALLENGE
- Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr have issued a fitness challenge to America – complete x50 pullups and x100 pushups within 10 minutes, doing so with excellent form
- CHAPLAIN and YHC accepted the challenge while HOUSE and FIGO alternated Burpees with Runs
- Challenge CONQUERED by the 7 MIN mark, and that with the distraction of our 5th PAX member, and FNG, arriving. (He joined House & Figo for their burpee-palooza.)
- FYI – Apparently completing the MAHA P&B challenge within 5-6min is the high bar goal to aim for.
COP #2:
- MARY – PAX enjoyed about 6min lying in the rain water doing Flutters, APD’s, Heels to Heaven, and more
COP #3:
- HOMING THE POLES
- The PAX were directed to the back field where they found REACHER’s x7 telephone pole segments lined up and ready to go for a walk
- YHC + Figo/FNG carried the single long 12’ pole while Chap and House wrestled a massively girthed 6’ segment on their shoulders
- Circumnavigate the back field, complete shoulder press reps, and the place the logs onto a log platform YHC had prepped
- Run back around the field and shoulder the next poles – TClaps to House taking his own pole single-handed while to other 2-PAX each shared a log to carry around the field to the pile, then run back
- Final round – x3 on a heavy one, x2 on the other, walk around the field, pole curls IC, then stack em up with the others
COP #4:
- VARIABLE MOVEMENTS
- PAX exit the field and traverse the Annex lot alternating Bear Crawl with Lunges
- Line up on the sloped lot for sprints
- 50% down
- 100% to the top
- 50% down
- 100% BERNIE to the top
- 75% down
- 75% karaoke to the top
- maybe other iterations…
Mosey BTTF:
- PLANKORAMA REVIEW – the F3 Mission, x5 Core Principles, and Credo
COT:
- Counterama # 5
- Namerama (welcome ROSSI)
- Announcerama (see Below)
- BOM Prayer
NMS: YHC wasn’t expecting a steady rain this evening, and honestly wasn’t sure if anyone would show. Nobody had signed up for the Q by the afternoon but as YHC is closing in on 500 officially documented Q’s, no reason to slow the roll. Needless to say it was entertaining to complete multiple warmeramas for each late-arriving PAX, and then the kicker of an FNG was awesome! That makes TWO FNG’s in one day after “STAG” joined the Ruckhenge PAX this morning. YHC takes no credit expect to have influenced the headlockers to EH as they should. “ROSSI” is the name of a famous motorcycle expert revered by our FNG “Johan” (from Venezuela) who is a coworker and friend of FIGO and has been playing indoor futsol on Monday nights with us at WEAG. He was over the moon to be welcomed into F3 and can’t wait to be back! Super grateful to be a part of all this. Yours AYE! ~DTH
