Fun without fathers at TRQ
QIC: BAM
Date: 9/23/21
PAX: Frostbite (WB), Holy Moley, Green Acres(WD), Wobegon, Ziggy Stardust, Mongoose, The Pony Express, Superfly, Boomerang (I SAID BOOMERANG), Root Canal, Tonka, Earl Grey, BAM (QIC)
As promised, the rain cleared and the cooler temps rolled in along with a fine gathering of extraordinary gentlemen. There was hopes there would be at least one father-son combo this morning, but alas Starfish decided to teach young Frostbite an object lesson of what it feels like to be ditched. Life is tough, better to learn that early on. Well it’s tough for folks who aren’t living in the Kimpton who have a personal valet help them get dressed and warm the car to ideal temps, but that’s another story.
The Q did some research to find non-running exercises/workouts that also have a high caloric burn rate. While we normally try and save any pax from the den of iniquity that is known as Crossfit, they do have occasional points of value. They come up with odd names for their workouts of the day, and Cindy is a workout set that works well at TRQ and actually got some researchers to discover that an average person burns 13 calories per minute doing it! Since all pax of F3 are “slightly above average,” this seemed like a perfect combo!
Warmorama
- the usual stuff, nothing to see here
The Thang

NMM
- Boomerang don’t hear so good. I SAID, BOOMERANG DON’T HEAR SO GOOD!!
- or he just likes to mess with the Q, which never happens at F3, so must be the hearing
- that’s a long way to lunge walk, but that was kinda the point
- Root Canal and Tonka got into some kinda #nerdalert convo about one sided paper or somesuch
- Mongoose can knock out 5 pullups like nobody’s business, just don’t ask him to do 6
- Pony is not afraid to chat to help pass the time
- Frostbite got a little forlorn looking for his papa, but the pax rallied around him and reminded him he was probably better off without the deadbeat #whatarefriendsfor
- The Q was doing something right, got the surly one to throw out the “you know this isn’t an hour long workout” towards the end. #badgeofhonor
- Green Acres is trying to keep up with all the new music the kids listen to these days, but got a little confused about the difference between a Nirvana tune and a Pearl Jam tune
Prayer requests
- Holy Moley’s buddy who had another heart attack
- the tough stuff families are going through
- Cancer treatment’s of Jazzy and Gile’s M’s
