A nefarious nine gathered in the gloom for a beat down on a cool misty morning . Here’s what happened:

COP: Mosey to the bottom of Lindsay. Deadman hang // Helicopters // DQs // Imperial Walkers // LBCs // Crabcakes // Peter Parkers // Tempo Merkins // SSHs 21s (count to 5 in Candace, to 21 silently in our heads, all stop at the same time, Hitchiker messed up so we did 5 burpees).

Up the Hill: parter up. P1 runs to the top of Lindsay and back to P2, while P2 does lunges. Switch. Next round: Bear Crawls. Next round: Broadjump Burpees. All the way to the top of the hill. Mosey to blacktop.

Numberama, Namerama, Socially Distanced COT. YHC took us out.

NMS: YHC confused Pickle Ball with the Gaga Pit, thus Pickle Pit, which we think may be a seedy bar in Tampa.

Eleven eponymous eggheads circled up on the warm pavement for this week’s iteration of Hoedown. Greetings and salutations were exchanged for YHCs first F3 Q since the March Madness that never happened. Scuttle around the drop-off loop up to the blacktop ocean for COP that went something like this:

It was a majestic day today. Conversation was abundant even with the excessive amount of internal counting. Clearly, the PAX has been busy with their Ms the past few months. Multiple references to special korean wine and breaking in tree houses.

The format of this workout and a few of the exercises were pilfered from my daughter’s COVID workout routine. YHC is especially thankful for the introduction of the inchworm.

Good virtual coffeteria post workout. Glad to be back.

Splinter

With a slight chill in the air, 9 red hot warriors gathered in the Gloom to form what resembles a PAX at Hoedown. With no Q on the sheet someone suggested that we make it a Doozy Q and YHC was willing to oblige.

With no plan of attack lets mosey to get us going, on to Bodos place (Bodos was nowhere to be found)

DQ’s, Helicopters, Cherry Pickers, Imperial Walkers, 1 penalty burpee OYO for Doozy’s mistake, possibly some other things but I can’t remember.

Mosey back to flag area

Man Killers – Mr. Holland made a comment about YHC’s not screwing up the count on these, so as is par for the coarse YHC screwed up the count. 5 penalty burpees OYO

Mosey to the playground, triple check

Partner 1 – merkins with feet on the wall (balls to the wall style but not quite a chicken pecker), partner 2 – dips, partner 3 run to the monkey bars 5 pull ups and return (X3)

Mosey back to flag parking lot

Parking lot merkins X10, bear crawl at each line increase merkins by 1, what goes up must come down Crab walks stopping at each line for LBC’s increasing by 2 at each line

Mosey to teachers parking lot 10 burpees OYO

Mosey to the flag merkin ring of fire 5 each of your own style

Numbers / names Greenbow took us out

NMS:

YHC had thoughts of Q’ing every day this week but had not signed up for this morning. When arriving at Hoedown and the opportunity to Q was thrown out there YHC thought it must be divine intervention or at least a happy coincidence, so a Doozy Q it is. Once YHC returned home to sign up for the Q the rest of the week he found that the return of DTH will be at the Forge on Thursday so a full week of Doozy Q’s it will not be but YHC will not miss the Forge and the return of the man, the mith, the legend that is Dr. Try Hard.

6 gathered at Hoedown this morning in light drizzle to start the week off right.

COP: (New favorite) 9x dead man hang, 9x Cherry Pickers, 15x SSH, 10x DQ, 10x WWII, 10x HRM, 10x Scorpion Kicks. Mosey down Forest Ave to the Trinity church lot

Big 4 Corners: 10x burpees, 20x merkins, 30x jump squats, 40x crab cakes. Reverse for 40x MH’s, 30x mt. climbers, 20x merkins, 10x burpees

Partner up and traverse the front parking lot – alternating Bernie run & lunges until both partners reach the top of the hill.

Mosey to the back parking lot for the main event: Blackjack – total of 21 each rep, starting with 20x Merkins on one side of the lot and 1x LBC on the far side of the lot, repeat with 19x Merkins and 2x LBC, etc…

Fast mosey back to the flag as YHC went a few minutes into overtime.

Numberama, Namerama, Announcements (Memorial Murph), YCH took us out.

Two highlights this Monday morning:
– Hitchhiker tallied us at 260 merkins today: strong work guys!
– Pucker opened our world to the wonders of Poop Map.

Until next time, GP

An even 8 came out to Hoedown to see if Honeydo would show up to Q this week. Perfect spring weather for a beatdown:

COP: SSH, Russian Soldiers, Helicopters, Merkins, Flutterkicks, Scorpion kicks.

Mosey to the 3rd Dark lot for 4 corners: 10 burpees, 20 Merkins, 30 Reverse Crunch, 40 SSHs. Over to 3rd back lot, Partner up – Broad jump burpee length of lot – alternating. 2nd round – Polar bear.

Over to main lot: Lindsays of Carolina Dry Docks & Jump Squats. Over to TES blacktop- Partner up again for Wheelbarrow across & back. Head up to school field for attempt at Chazz Michael Michaels. Mutiny ensued and audible was called. Change up to 3 rounds of: 30 Donkey kicks, run across & 10 burpees.

Down to Triple check loop. Partner up for 4 rounds of 1 man runs loop while other doing 1 legged LBCs. Finish up with some Heels2 Heaven. YHC took us out.

NMS: More light and warmer temperatures in the gloom in May. Good to have 8 strong, although when Doozy and Last Call arrived with only Upchuck and YHC we were on the verge of a mini-SOJ takeover. Pucker ran in to the AO and was so sweaty nobody wanted to partner with him.

YHC wanted to do some partner work of limited sorts and when Wheelbarrows were called the PAX took it on with vigor. Not so much when the Chazz Michael Michaels were called. Maybe YHC should have tried for Jerkins over near the gym instead. We do need to figure out how to get some arm work in the gloom somehow. Oh well good to try new things out when Q’ing. Hopefully YHC made up for his Q fail last week.

6 of the usual suspects made their way out of the dark into the light of Hoedown for a Honeydo Q. 5:30 no Honeydo so Handshake took the reigns and lead the PAX on a short mosey across the street to Bodos’s work place.

COP: Handshake

SSH, DQ’s, Cherry Pickers, Inverted Scorpion Kicks, WWII’s and possibly a couple others

Get to the corner for some four corner action

Corner 1 – 10 Burpees, bear crawl, corner 2 – 20 Merkins, Bernie Sanders, Corner 3 – Monkey Humpers, run, Corner 4 – LBC’s

Handshake hands the Q to Garbage Plate

Run the length of the Parking lot and back while GP thinks of what to do

Line up on the first Parking Lot spot Jump back and forth over the line 25 times on each side, modified parking lot merkins bear crawl two spots for 3 merkins, crab walk two spots for 3 merkins all the way down. Back on the end line, X cross overs (way to much coordination for YHC) repeat parking lot merkins.

Triple up at the curb, Partner 1 – run the length of the parking lot, partner 2 – balls to the wall, partner 3 – LBC’s

Same triplets for five minutes of pain – 3 doing 2 donkey kicks while other 3 do shoulder taps, switch, and the increase each time by 2. YHC believes we made it to 22

Garbage Plate asked who wanted to take the Q and with no volunteers YHC was Voluntold and away we went. Mosey back to the flag parking lot for 11’s run across short side of parking lot Bernie up the hill 10 American Hammers, run back across 1 scrunchy frog. As usual YHC got thrown off at the 6,5 5,6 mark and Handshake figured out YHC was increasing on both sides.

Numbers/Names – BODOS said he was feeling lead to let YHC know YHC was feeling lead to take us out. It is always a privilege for YHC to speak to the Creator on behalf of the PAX.

NMS:

YHC was going to poke fun at the fact that Honeydo fartsacked on us this morning but YHC had to first make sure that Honeydo was in fact fartsacking. After a text back from Honeydo telling YHC all is well, I can thankfully report that not only did Honeydo Fart Sack on us he also Brain Farted thinking that he signed up to Q next week. Thanks and Golf claps to Handshake for taking control of the situation and leading the PAX.

To celebrate the opening of Bistro 804 5 + 2 high impact men rolled out of the fartsack on a rainy morning. Here is how it went down, more or less.

20 corners. 4 corners x5. Run long ends. Alternate King Crab (Crab walk 5steps + 2 count Crab Cake) and Polar Bear (Bear Crawl 5 steps and merkin) on the short sides. 1 exercise each corner intended to attend to the whole man: body, soul, and spirit.

• Offices of 3rd Church

Mosey BTTF. Handshake took us out. Prayers for friends and family with Covid.

NMS

Disappointed that Bodo’s did not find the PAX, we enjoyed the external assessment of the facilities. Glad he found Hitchhiker in the gloom, no small feat since he was dressed in Ninja black today. I know they d

For 4 corners, YHC did have 20 exercises lined up, but was so into the workout it just felt right for an audible, a few times.

Little help – who did I forget?

8 able bodied individuals took note of a morning in the upper 50s to partake a workout at Hoedown. The Q, me just celebrated a birthday to solidify his status in the upper 40s club.

COP: 10 Don Quixotes, 15 arm circles, 20 Freddie Mercuries, 25 LBCs and 47 side straddle hops

Mosey to the Walgreens. Do Four corners. 10 Burpees, 20 jump squats, 30 merkins and 47 2 count flutter kicks.

Mosey to one of Bodos’ many parking lots. Do another four corners. This time 10 burpees, 20 Lt. Dans, 30 2 count mountain climbers and 47 APDs.

Mosey to the front of those places called “a school”. Split into three groups to maintain s.d. protocol. Group 1 does 47 box jumps, group 2 47 merkins with the bike rack, and group 3 holds 6 inches. Switch until each group does each exercise.

Mosey to blacktop at back of school. Do suicides with 4 burpees and another exercise at the other end. We did 7 heels to heaven, 7 donkey kicks and 7 decline merkins at the gaga pit.

Mosey to loop. Partner 1 runs a loop while the other does.. balls to the wall, donkey kicks and wall sits.

Finish with 47 American hammers and a round of Mary with merkins.

We closed with no announcements (not sure whether the PAX were pooped or sleepy) but closed with prayer. Need to pray for those suffering from COVID either knowing someone who has it, losing their job because of it or their job has changed for the worse because of it. Keep praying and we shall overcome with the help of the one who truly calls the shots. Also prayers are with White Deer as he goes through surgery today.

God bless,

Fireman Ed.
