Liquid Death and Fitness
10 PAX defeated the #FartSack last Wednesday at #Conspiracy. Let’s see what went down.
As we gathered for Warm O Rama, there were several of Winston’s finest from WSFD assembled in the same lot about to get after it with their own PT session.
YHC kicked us off with the Mission Statement and Core Principles. In an effort to publicize F3 a little more, we even repeated the Mission Statement loud enough for the firefighters to hear. No word yet on if they cared or not.
Warm O Rama consisted mostly of the Usual Suspects.
After a brief warm up, @Spicoli pulled in and we picked him up on our way out of the lot.
Mosey to the bottom of the Intimidator for the beginning of the work
25 Merkins at the bottom, fast mosey to the top for 25 more merkins
Mosey down to Jersey –>15 Bonnie Blairs (DC)
Mosey down to Carolina –> 20 Freddie Mercs (DC)
Mosey to bottom of Intimidator and over to Brookstown
25 Merkins at the bottom, fast mosey to the top (5th St) for 25 more merkins
Mosey down to Jersey –> 15 Bonnie Blairs (DC)
Mosey down to Carolina –> 20 Gas Pumps (DC)
At this point, @Lambchop (among others) saw what was coming and tried to convince YHC that there was heavy construction on Pilot View and suggested we not even go over there. His warnings were ignored.
Mosey to bottom of Brookstown and over to Pilot View
25 Merkins at the bottom and (you guessed it) fast mosey all the way to the top for 25 more Merkins. Let the record show that everyone loved this part and there were no complaints. Also, there didn’t seem to be any construction on PV either. Strange.
Mosey down to Jersey –> 15 Bonnie Blairs (DC)
Mosey down to Carolina –> 20 Low Flutters (?). Can’t quite recall, but it was def an ab exercise.
Mosey to bottom of PV for 25 more Merkins
Running out of time so we weren’t able to get to the “other” hill YHC had in mind. Head back to launch.
On the way back to launch, YHC asked @Burns, strictly out of curiosity, if HR Burpees counted toward the January Merkin challenge. He confirmed that they did….
Stop at the base of Intimidator again for 10 HR Burpees OYO (and some good-natured heckling of the aforementioned Winston’s finest, encouraging them to move their PT over to Pilot View instead of the Intimidator)…..this encouragement was ignored.
Mosey back to Launch for

Snuck in some Mutton Crunches and a few more Merkins
Time was called.
CoT consisted of rounds of encouragement for leading those around us, spouses/partners and children specifically.
YHC took us out thanking Him for the PAX that posted, for F3 collectively, and asked for the reminder to cherish the opportunities we have to encourage those around us
NMM
@Frostbite, @Schlitz, and @Burns got some EC miles in.
@Lambchop took every opportunity during the beatdown to get some extra merkins in. He finished the morning with roughly 1700 merkins completed.
@Transcript was hard at work all morning #beast, but was almost taken out by a car at our stop at Carolina on the way down PV. NOTHING will stop that man from getting in some Low Flutters!
It was great seeing @$5 out as he was grinding and putting in the work on every hill.
@Madoff and YHC had a good laugh remembering one of our Mistletoe training runs from last fall where a random cyclist passed us and yelled “FITNESS!!” as we crossed paths. Always nice to encourage/be encouraged by other members of the community in our joint pursuits of bettering ourselves.
Speaking of @Madoff, he was unfazed by the hills and dominated from start to finish
@FrankAndBeans continued to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with as a relative newcomer in the gloom. He’s getting stronger with every post. Great seeing you out there, brotha!
@Schlitz was kind enough to share some of his product with us after the beatdown. The Liquid Death was delicious. I’m sure that 10 grown men huddled around the open trunk of his 4Runner as he distributed the goods didn’t raise any eyebrows.
YHC is always thankful any time I get to post with @Spicoli. His positivity and encouragement at every beatdown is what F3 is all about.
As always, it was an honor to lead these fine gentlemen. Grateful to all who posted.
Thanks for the keys @Frostbite. I think I dropped them on Clover…or Brookstown…or PV.
