• When: 08/08/2017
• QIC: Weedwacker
• The PAX: Duggar, Stealer, Cobra Khan, Smokey the Bear, Michaelangelo (FNG), WhatDid, Usain Bolt (FNG), Merlot, Crosswalk (R), TP, Weedwacker (YHC)

11 brave PAX overcame cataclysmic weather events, locked entrance gates, and the nervous anticipation of the first weekday LC workout to keep the momentum going at the emerging focus of F3 awesomeness known as #thetrinity.

Condition

77 Degrees, 100% humidity, and EXTREMELY wet and muddy. Simply gorgeous.

Disclaimer

YHC is not a professional. This is a free, voluntary workout. Push yourself, don’t hurt yourself, and modify or stop as needed.

Warm-Up/COP

Gather around the flags in the wet, spongy grass.

Feel the moisture penetrating your shoes, socks, and skin, and begin to giddily anticipate how awful your car will smell at the end of your drive home this morning as the sweat and dirt and grass clippings and bacteria and fungi begin to exponentially accumulate to envelop you.

Marvel at the massive,intimidating high-voltage power lines above and envision them as a metaphor for the power we have within ourselves.

Listen to the squish/squash of the mud slapping against your calves as you walk gingerly to the flag, and smile, knowing that much of this mud will inevitably end up on the floors of your home in about 1 hour despite all of your futile efforts to keep it outside.

Brace yourself for the fury of the wife (if applicable) later this morning, as she wonders how and why her once-civilized life-companion has devolved into a dehydrated, semi-ambulatory, lactic-acid-producing, oxygen-starved, non-steroidal-antiinflammatory-medication-consuming mess with the cleanliness of a second-world barnyard animal before the sun even peeked sheepishly over the horizon.

Prepare to remind your wife (if applicable) that, by repeating this behavior over time, her physiologically-limited barnyard animal will slowly transform into a powerful example of confident and strong and (at the risk of overstepping my boundaries might-I-add) GORGEOUS masculinity the likes of which she hasn’t seen or felt or smelled in real life for many years, perhaps ever, and that she will reap the benefits of this seemingly-asinine behavior in all aspects of her existence for the years and decades to follow.

Ok, let’s get on with it.

• Side Straddle Hops x 50 IC
• Seal Jacks x 21 IC
• Squat Jacks x 10 IC
• Merkin Jacks x 10 IC
• Imperial Walkers x 20 IC
• Grassgrabber x 10 IC
• Abe Vigoda x 10 IC
• FLASHDANCERS! X 10

 The Thang

Mosey to the adjustable-height wall/bench for some strength work.

• The Dip x 15 IC
• Step-Up Skullcrusher (Introductory Height) x 10 IC each side

Rinse/repeat x 1.

Recovery mosey back to the flag where some cones were laid out to set the table for a breakfast of 11s – Merkins and Big-Boy Sit-Ups with bear-crawls or jogs for those of us (including YHC) who needed modification.

Mosey to Rucker Park (south campus) basketball court for some wall work

• Angry chair x 25 IC

Rinse/repeat x 1

Return to the flags and finish the morning with:

• Burpees x 10 OYO

This series of events resulted in the PAX appearing to be completely and utterly exercised.

CountORama and NameORama

11 PAX with 7 second-helpings and 2 FNGs (Michaelangelo and Usain Bolt). I can feel the growing momentum of #thetrinity deep within my bones.

COT

We had a long discussion led by Duggar and WhatDid about how F3 can serve as a vehicle for improving ourselves and how that improvement translates into improving our relationships, productivity, and leadership in all aspects of our lives. Great contributions from Michaelangelo, TP, and many of the other PAX as well. TClaps to WhatDid for taking us out.

NakedManMoleskin

It is truly remarkable to see so many men coming back to #thetrinity in the gloom of a wet morning to build themselves as well as the group as a whole. I know that this launch will be successful and the League City crew already has the right men in place to lead and grow F3 in this community. I feel honored to have the opportunity to contribute during these early days and look forward to many more early-morning commutes to watch this group thrive and expand. TClaps to TP for being the driving force – and to Duggar for putting the “driving” in “driving force”.  Let’s keep this moving forward.
