WTF Are We Doing

WTF Are We Doing

QIC: Frostbite

Date: 1/22/2025

PAX: @Drip (WD), @Zesty, @Scrooge, @Frostbite (WB, QiC)

But actually – what are we doing? Alarm goes off at 0455. Temperature is 9 degrees. Is there not something, anything else we could be doing?

YHC had the keys to #Conspiracy this lovely morn. After getting a reminder text about my duties from SiteQ-extraordinaire, Frank&Beans, I surely thought he would show up and support. My guess is he still has a few brain cells left and knows that what we do is absolutely ridiculous

Anywho – YHC devised a plan, with 3 others joining in on it, and it went something like this:

Warmarama:

SSH – 20 x IC

IST – 12 x IC

Whirleys – 10 x IC

Abes – 6 x IC

Mosey to track for a warmup lap.  While running a lap we did a variety of high knees, butt kicks, karoake, and power skips

Mosey onto the playground to get started

The Thang 1: 7 layers of Dip

7 layers of dip

Dips x 7 OYO -> Irkins x 7 OYO

Dips x 7 OYO -> R Leg Step Up x 7 OYO

Dips x 7 OYO -> Derkins x 7 OYO

Dips x 7 OYO -> L Leg Step Up x 7 OYO

Dips x 7 OYO -> OH Claps x 7 OYO

Dips x 7 OYO -> Squatty Pottys  x 7 OYO

Dips x 7 OYO -> Merkins x 7 OYO

The Thang 2: Quadraphilia 

Partner 1 runs backwards up the Intimidator while partner 2 does 10 LBCs then sprints to catch up to Partner 1. Flap jack and repeat up to the top. Plank for the 6.

Mosey back to the playground for… repeato! But double the amount of reps (14 dips x 14 irkins/etc)

Repeat Quadraphilia (#CrowdPleaser)

Mosey back to track for a sprint lap

Mosey to Launch for some Mary!

Mary:

Low flutter baby crunch (Thanks @Adobe!) – 10 x IC

Penguin Crunch – 20 x IC

Mutton Crunch (L/R) – 10 x IC

Heels2Heave (#ZimaStyle) – 10 x IC

TIME!

NMM:

@Scrooge indulged us of his tales from his recent trip to Ireland. Turns out it is not as a fun spot for his pregnant 2.0, but he had fun!

@Scrooge also showed up without gloves… One day he will learn. Luckily, YHC had an extra pair in his car (albeit the lightweight summer gloves) that I offered. Turns out it was 2 right-handed gloves much to YHC’s chagrin. He powered through and was out front all morning

@Zesty kept the pace and put in the strong work all morning. Ever nicely, he stated, “Well that was fun, except for running up backwards.” I will take it!

@Zesty & @Scrooge have only been a part of F3WS for a few months and have jumped right into the goodness, but they did mention that they can’t wait to experience some warmer temps.

@Drip and his squeaky knee brace and ever-present smile showed kindness to the #PAX by offering his Hothands. He also could have been the father to all of us but ran laps around us the whole time.

MC was great as we powered through — everything from the crazy amount of paternity leave Wells Fargo and Reynolds offers (4 mos) compared to @Zesty’s 2 weeks to Italian & Croatian travel adventures

Announcements:

Samaritan Ministries #3rd F on 2.17 – see @Drip or @Greenspan if you want to sign up!

#Purgatory is playing host to the Q1 Q-School on March 29th. Come out, learn the basics of a proper beatdown, practice cadences, and support the guy next to you!

Prayers:

@Scrooge and his M as they await welcoming their first boy in April

@LambChop and his M as they go through IVF this AM!

@Dr. Toot and @Green Acres as they recover from being on the IR

YHC took us out!

Take some time as you are reading this to reflect on the impact of F3. While we joke that it is crazy to workout at crazy hours and in crazy weather, it truly is remarkable that we can count on one another to be there and push each other to do hard things. That is what it is about.

Thanks for the keys @Frank&Beans! You were missed. I left them under your pillow.
