Preamble:

Due to construction we had to move the start from under the pavilion but we would not be deterred. A co Q today so Tumbleweed did the standard preamble with a restatement of the mission of F3 and we were off to the parking lot for Warm 0 Rama

Warm-O-Rama:

Tumbleweed led us on an almost perfectly cadenced set of Warm up exercises but he went for the trifecta and got tongue tied.  Nonetheless, the PAX are smart and knew what to do. 15 - SSH 10 - Weedpickers 10 - Hillbillies Arm Circles and COVIDs Off to the Coupon Pile

The Thang:

Each man grabbed a coupon, no need to pick out one you like because there would be rotation.  With coupons secured we moseyed to the 50 yard line around a light shining into the sky that would become our central point of the beatdown. The pax arranged their coupons in a tight circle around the music and assumed the plank position. YHC called out the first exercise (burpees) and everyone got up, grabbed their coupons, took 5 strides outward from the circle, did 5 burpees, then returned with their coupon to the circle to plank for the 6. We then rotated one coupon to the left. The next person called out an exercise and we increased to 10 strides and 10 reps. Rinse and repeat by 5's up to 30 and back down to 10.  At that point, our 3 song limit had been reached and it was on to the 2nd half of the beatdown. Standard tabatas, 6 rounds per exercise of 20 seconds work 10 seconds rest.
  1. Gravediggers
  2. Overhead Press
  3. Curls
  4. Calf Raises
  5. Skull Crushers
  6. Squats
  7. Hand-release Merkins
After each round we rotated to the left so that everyone  had a new coupon for each round. When the alarm rang, we returned our coupons and moseyed back to the flag.

COT:

Tumbleweed led the COT so prayers for Cam's family as his son broke his wrist this week and dealing with that.  Also, had to put their dog, a Crooked Creek institution, to sleep this week. So rough one for Cam's.  Prayers for Knight Rider who was out there this morning despite being obviously under the weather.  Get well KR!!  

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Today was transition day as the Site Q was passed from Knight Rider.  KR did such a great job that it will take two PAX to carry on the site Q.  Despite a last minute Nacho Libre self nomination, co site Qs, Cam's and Tumbleweed, were bestowed the honor of leading these fine gentlemen. We are very appreciative of Knight Rider's leadership this past year. Cam's put it best: Your legacy goes far beyond what you've brought to the table with your next-level Qs, no one can convert the field into a full airplane landing strip like you can. At this point, we may almost take for granted the effort that you put in, never missing a beat keeping people informed on slack and at the beatdowns. Your leadership by example approach is what has been personally inspiring to me; looking out for others; encouraging those that need help; leaving no man behind. More important than all that though, it's the personal, one on one relationships that you cultivate so easily, checking in on men that need it more than you might realize. We all appreciate everything you've done for the Norsemen and Tumbleweed and I consider it an honor to take the flag from you.
