  • Coronado (Keener Park) – Michael dushane

    It was Tuesday at Coronado, so we decided to Murph!

    The Thing:
    We warmed up with the 10-count motivator, and then crossed the street. From there we did 2 rounds of the 11s workout. The first pair of exercises were burpees, and squats, and the second set was mountain climbers, and 'merkins. While doing the 11s, we did suicide runs to get to the far location.

    The COT:
    Doubtfire was featured, and updated us on his wife.

    Post Workout:
    We saved Sprinkles McFlurry's awning from impending doom.

  • The Gauntlet (Rivercrest Park) – coconut

    "Howdy Partner" on 1/26/26
    PAX

    Coconut(Q)

    Stats–After Snowmageddon on 1/25, conditions calmed down and plows ran overnight, clearing a very helpful loop of the parking lot at the Gauntlet. YHC arrived :30 early to shovel and briefly considered clearing a larger loop by hand…but ugh…no.
    Temps at about 12° F, and very little wind–so easily the warmest day of the week.

    Intro: Mission, Core Principles, Credo

    Warm-O-Rama:
    Moroccan Night Club, Overhead Clap, big arm circles fwd/rev IC
    Willy Mays Hays IC.

    THANG:
    Phase 1. put the LIME with the Coconut
    Wait till Friday for the full explanation, no spoilers.

    Phase 2. Partner 7's–for my 7's we did 7/0, 6/1, 5/2, 4/3, 3/4, 2/5, 1/6, 0/7.
    – Partner merkins at one end of the parking lot, run to the other end for partner block swings.
    – partner x-over merkins on shared block at one end, partner deep squats at the other end.

    COT:
    COR/NOR, LDP3–made a guess that this week's fruit of the spirit would be "Peace". We talked about the rocking chair test and the 'in 20 years' reminder–Similar points of wisdom, to consider whether this moment that might be frustrating you will loom large in the distant future, and if not–don't get so worked up about it.

    Prayers for safety and health in an outside the F3 community with this week's extreme weather.

    Blessed and please to be able to lead today.

    We started off the good with some vulgarity from the 90’s and talked about cool stuff from back then. So many words that you can’t use now. The best finding out Zimba went to a gas station wearing sponge bob boxer briefs because he thought they were shorts. 🤣🤣

    COT Guardian was the 6. It’s going on 4 years and F3 has really changed his life. We closed with a short prayer and got ready for the Beatdown.
