Where is Santa?

Where is Santa?

QIC: Frostbite

Date: 12/23/2024

PAX: @Lamb Chop, @$5 Footlong, @Rubber Ducky (WD), @Palin, @Van Gogh, @Frank&Beans, @Bagpipe, @Frostbite (QiC, YHC, WB)

YHC was in charge to lead the #PAX at Iron Throne. @Schlitz was supposed to, but something about not being able to Q twice in a row?! Yeah okay, sure thing @Schlitzy – I got you covered!

To be honest, YHC is a little tired of the Christmas themed workouts. So much so I avoided @Zima’s 12 days of Christmas. I am not Scrooge by any means, but after getting a tour of the world’s Christmas at @Drip’s beatdown & @Burns wannabe 12 Days of Christmas, I wanted to spice things up and go against the theme at The Iron Throne.

Here is how it went:

Warmarama:

SSH (10 x IC)

1 Burpee

Copperhead Squats (10 x IC)

1 Burpee

Toy Soldiers (10 x IC)

1 Burpee

Abe Vigoda (I think? 6 x IC)

1 Burpee

Arm Swirly Things (F/R – 10 x IC)

2 Burpees

Moroccan Night Clubs (10 x IC)

1 Burpee

The Thang:

Mosey the long way to the blocks and partner up.

Partner 1 would do AMRAP as called exercise.

Partner 2 would mosey a suicide with 3 stops. Each stop, Partner 2 would do set amount of Burpees (Stop 1 = 1 Burpee, Stop 2 = 2 Burpees, Stop 3 = 3 Burpees).  The route was: Stop 1. Stop 1 & 2. Stop 1, 2, 3. Each Round = 10 burpees by my math.

Flapjack with Partner before moving on to next exercise.

Exercises were:

1. Curls
2. WW2s
3. OH Press
4. Squats
5. Skull Crushers
6. Box Cutters
7. Chest Press
8. Lunges

Each pair got all the way through! Strong work!

No time for Mary.

TIME!

NMM:

@Lambchop tried to convince YHC to allow him to do more burpees. Not allowed. He also left early and the #PAX got 1 more burpee to beat him out on the day.  It was also his 200th F3 workout of the year. That is strong stuff right there! Great job.

@Palin & Van Gogh disregarded the Q’s instructions and just did 10 burpees at the end of their suicides. Counting is hard, I know. They were out front leading all AM.

@MasterBagpipe was out in full force! He was so excited to get after it this AM (after a short reprieve celebrating his MBA!) he forgot his gloves! Bad day for that with the feels like temp of 21… Luckily, @RD had an extra pair!

Speaking of @Rubber Ducky, the #PAX were peppered with stories of his recent adventures in St. Croix. Something about doing a workout with a secret service agent? Talk about a #downrange opportunity! 5 day vacation with the M is the perfect amount of time. All agreed.

@Frank&Beans pulled out his notorious puffer jacket. Some concerns were raised about tearing it up during WW2s. Luckily, the jacket prevailed and he pushed hard all morning.

@$5 is a true runner. He RIRO and kept the MC and encouragement through it all. He also broke out a new move called the “Block Twerk” You’ll have to ask him about it but brought a smile to YHC’s face hearing/seeing that.

Announcements: 

F3WS Celebrates 11 years. 01.04.25. Impossible Situation. Aka Hanes Park. Convergence. Bring an FNG. Coffeeteria to follow in parking lot.

No workouts on Christmas. See slack/calendar for most up to date calendar.

Prayers:

@Five Dollar and the Schloss family going through it. Prayers for comfort, peace, warmth.

@Handlebar’s 2.0 who burnt his hand on a lawn mower.

Families over the holidays. For Patience.

YHC took us out.

Thanks for the keys @Rubber Ducky or should I say @Schlitz? I will be your huckleberry anytime!

Merry Christmas, #HIMs. Thankful for each one of you and your push. You make me better.

All the love,

Frostbite
