Playing in the Rain at The Valley!!!
All All MECA BackblastsNovember 2nd, 2015
6 men stepped out into the gloom (one because he’d signed up to Q, one who decided to take a break from his run by doing a bootcamp, two who showed up to see what was going to go down after seeing the Twitter smack talk the night before, one who HAD to show up because he was participating in the smack talk, and one who tried to talk a man out of posting only to find himself in the middle of the gloom at go time). Can you guess who was who? Anyway, the beatdown went like this:
Warm-o-rama:
Mosey to Small Parking Lot
15 SSH IC

Indian run X 3 (last man has to do 3 merkins before running to the front). @Dingo noted that he did some extra credit here.
Mosey to the hill for a 6-1 merkin/Air Squat ladder
10 burpees (I forgot to do 5 burpees beforehand so we had to make up for it here…sorry pax!)
Mosey back up the hill to the wall…but first
5 burpees
Grab some wall for air chairs with air presses x 10 IC

I believe it was here where I heard @Pongo use an expletive that I will not repeat here.

Moleskin:
One of the things I really enjoy about F3 is how crazy we truly are. How many men that aren’t (yet) a part of F3nation do you know that would have done what we did this morning? But you can be sure that there were several men wearing F3 on their shirts that were out there this morning at other AOs. Thanks for being crazy with me.
@Coyote has been accusing me of not bringing it for several weeks now. I’ll admit, the trivia last week started off slowly, but 1) I was trying out a theme and 2) The Q can do what he wants! Anyway, I don’t think I disappointed this morning.
@Dingo, get better brother. That cough doesn’t sound good.
@Icicle, it was good seeing you brother! We miss seeing you in the gloom. Maybe we’ll have to clown car to one of your Saturday beatdowns. Have a drink with us at the next HDHH.
@Innkeeper, where were you brother? The rain won’t hurt you! Not posting will.
Announcements:
NO WORKOUT HERE ON WEDNESDAY OR AT TRADITION! Head down to The Precinct to celebrate their one year anniversary!
As always it was a pleasure joining you men this morning!

Sound off!
Looking back on this morning brings a rollercoaster of emotions…hated it, loved it, thought it was the worst thing I have ever done (especially when we laid down for LBCs), feeling super accomplished for doing it…DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK!!!!
@TheFarm definitely a good lead this morning! There are few people that I enjoy showing up and giving mumble chatter to than you, but I always know it’ll be a good beatdown! Tclaps!
Sorry I missed it this morning Farm, I was ready to roll out the door when the needs of the 2.2 threw a big crying trump card on my morning plans.
It was great seeing some of you and the new guys as well,it was a good beat down and I enjoyed it.
Good thing I wanted to read the Back Blasts this morning… Forgot about Wednesday!
Not sure if Tradition did B.O.M.B. this morning. I got home from being out of town after midnight and couldn’t drag myself from the fartsack at 4:45 to get ready.
Meanwhile I kind of wish I did… Would rather be tired and beat right now to possibly have been on the road at a later time. Got rear ended on the way to work. Somehow no damage though so…. count my blessings? (minus the fact that I’m almost feeling like I have whiplash now… can’t tell if it’s that or stress+anger+lack of sleep)
See you guys on Wednesday! (that or possibly a need for prayers for my neck -_- )
Firstly…..This workout occurred at The Valley…..Not Davis Lake…..
DUH. Of course it occurred at The Valley. What are you talking about Dingo? Sorry for the late response…I just woke up from a nap. I’m thinking this is what it’s like to be Dingo on a weekday??
He Q’s AND he has jokes!
2nd…..Icicle……It was great seeing “some” of us?? Who wasn’t it great seeing?? “New Guys”??? Who is new is this crowd?? Maybe Coyote is “newer”……
3rd……..King Louie talks FAR more in a backblast than he does at a workout???
I’d blame being more awake + being anxious about the wreck and the fact that my neck is bugging me.
Perhaps @TheFarm confused the Valley for a lake due to all of the rain?
You guys are crazy…
4th……Inkeeper…….thats a pretty lame excuse…….Scared of a little rain bro? 😉
Has anyone seen @Innkeeper post when it’s raining at 5:30??
5th…….HUGE TCLAPS to all of you men for posting this morning! It was miserable out there! How do you get stronger? You post when the average man doesn’t post!
Great job Pongo! He took a hard fall very early on in the beatdown, but he pushed through! Strong work bro!
Good lead Farm, I think? I was too busy either coughing or trying not to cough to notice 🙂 Lots of Jelly Lubing by me today……..but, I thought the lube would be better than coughing all over you guys.
Great to see Icicle and Skipper! Icicle is definitely getting quicker working out with those ALL RUN Area 51 Pax!
@Coyote – You’re love affair with The Farm’s beatdowns is very interesting to watch! I must agree that the Farm “Talks” about how “Hard” his workouts are a lot…… 😉
Do not! :'( Not unless it’s a way to get @Coyote to post so I can do things he hates. He falls for it every time! Speaking of…I’ve got the KB Q Friday at Davis Lake @Coyote…
Aww that’s cute 🙂 you’ll show me with your 15 lb KB!!!
@Coyote, I’m going to let you borrow my 10-key when you go off for that Ph. D.
Ahoy! My 1st post at #TheValley will definitely be memorable. As always, nice lead @TheFarm! Big t-claps to @Icicle for making the trip from #Area51. It’s always difficult to exit the fartsack when I wake up with the pitter-patter of rain at my window, but I’m always glad when I do!
I guess is the new guy @Dingo and I said some because there were only 4 familiar faces that I knew and it did take some thinking to go all the way there but it was worth it
So sorry that I missed this one.
Jelly lubbing again?
Negative. It’s the M’s day to workout. Someone has to be home with the kids.
Aka – jelly lubing
I forgot, jelly lubing is whatever Dingo wants it to be. I need to find a new AO.
#sensitivesally
I hear there is one close to you! I think it’s call Highlands
Thanks for the suggestion Dingo.
Hahaha @Dingo is right
Man, wish I could’ve made this one. M is in Denver all week and I have 2.0 and 2.1 duty. Couldn’t bring myself to do a self-imposed beatdown in my driveway this morning. Better get to it tomorrow to catch up w/ you guys!
Anyone know a trustworthy babysitter that will work from 0500-0630? I’ll pay!
