CoT

  • 1 year Alcatraz celebration! THIS Saturday! SuperMax Murph at 0600, Bootcamp at 0700! Attempting to bring coffee and donuts again as well! It has been a great first year, please come out and celebrate!

  • YHC took us out lifting up prayer requests, giving thanks for the ability and freedom of F3, and asking that we might be grateful in going about our day and spread the word of F3 to someone who needs it.

 

NMM

  • A great Group this morning, with 12 PAX coming to join YHC!
  • TClaps to Burns who joined YHC for a Murph at 0440 as part of the 2022 challenge. He is aiming to do 22 Murphs as part of the challenge!
  • 60 minutes showed up late during warmorama CoT but YHC opted for no penalty since I knew what was coming
  • YHC kept commenting that the PAX sure loved their burpees, with 16 out of 25 times chosen as burpees for 80 total!
  • This actually was quite the pickle because the bear crawl was lengthy, and took much longer than 5 burpees.
  • Burns immediately said “we’re about to do 65 burpees” but 4 PAX braved the bear crawl in the first round, starting with our Nantan Wobegon!
  • The circle was much bigger for Wobegon, and only after did PAX think to bring it in some.
  • Harden did his best bear impression as well, during which Sour Mash showed great support… great coming from Mash at least!
  • Ziggy was the first to begrudgingly bear crawled the second time arouns and YHC realized Monkey Humpers was a bad idea.. 
  • This was only made worse when Froman opted to Bear Craw as well immediately after! That dude would give Hedwig a Crawl for his money though!
  • DQ busted out a Circus Bear Crawl, which was like a modified lunge / crawl combo? I honestly couldn’t replicate if if I tried though.
  • Turns out it was Starfiah’s birthday!! Such an honor to Q when a pAX chooses to Post rather than sleep in. Thankfully the birthday burpees were done, along with 24 extra. Bam mentioned some kind words on Slack that I thought would be best to include: 
    • “The list of true #redwoods in Dashpaxland is short.  And the list of pax that have truly helped our region grow and be sustained (and many others across the country when he helped corporate with expansion work) is even shorter.  We all should be thankful that @Starfish was born today and chose to use his life in the investment of others.  This thing we love so much and that has impacted so many, would not be where it is without him.  Cheers to many more years!!”
  • Seaman needed a bigger block and didn’t seem to struggle at all today. We chatted about Saturday’s cancelled Alcatraz which he wa supposed to Q, and while it was missed, we agreed it was the right call. He’ll be back soon enough!!
  • Speaking of the blocks, they ended up being a minor part of the workout, as was the plan. 25 reps for the 25th day of the month. And since time was tight YHC didn’t get a choice for the second round for 25 choices total (13+12). I love it when accidental coincidences happen!
  • Only the last PAX to choose bear crawl, Schneider, opted for the inside of the circle, which YHC told everyone that it wasn’t really ever specified and totally counted! Lots of laughter and groans followed that revelation..
  • Note that Apple Music shuffle is horrible at repeating songs, and played two repeats in songs on the playlist… so shuffle was turned off and the music was appreciated!

 

YHC enjoyed the morning and the company. Was very happy to not be the bad guy and see the PAX chose the burpees themselves. Parliament PAX are tough, and this crowd was jo exception,
