It Feels Like……

All All MECA Backblasts

January 19th, 2016 By Buckwheat

14 of Tradition’s bravest showed for the coldest beatdown of the year so far (16 degrees). There was a debate last week amongst the Pax about how cold it was one day and whether or not using the “feels like” temperature is more appropriate than the actual temperature. It doesn’t matter what temperature it was or what it felt like, it was damn cold this morning! With no weinke or formal plan in place, I set out to keep us warm. Hopefully, I was able to accomplish that goal.

Things went a little something like this.

F3 disclaimer provided. @Dingo loved the thoroughness of same. I could teach you how to do a proper disclaimer @Dingo. How about we discuss this at the next Q school? Oh my bad, that would require you to show up for one….

Mosey to daycare (not the haunted one) parking lot. Uh oh, Pharaoh’s a little late arriving. Pax was penalized with some high knees and Stoli skips to start. As expected, Pharaoh caught up to us pretty quick. Finish mosey to daycare.

Warm-o-Rama:
SSH X15IC
Windmill X15IC

The Thang:

Partner up. 10-2 ladder Partner Derkins on one end of lot (both partners), run to the other end of lot, and do 10-2 squerkins (both partners). On third trip down and back, run backwards. On fourth trip down and back, Karaoke. Straight run on last trip down and back.

20 partner throw downs (both partners). 10 partner pull ups each arm (both partners).

Mosey back to church lot. Bear crawl half the length of church. Partner wheelbarrow the other half (switching as needed).
Groucho walk the width of church. Mosey to cinder blocks and grab one.

COP
15 Curls
15 Shoulder Press
15 Squats
15 Sumo Squats
20 Flutter Chest Press IC
15 Skull Crushers
25 Curls

Put blocks away and line up. Sprint to the far island and do 20 incline Mericans on the curb. Sprint back and do 20 dips on curb.

Mosey to other lot for MARY.

MARY
LBC X20IC
Dying Cockroach X15IC

Pretzel Crunch X10IC (each side)

1) 14 is a good crowd on a really cold day. Thanks for joining me this morning, men. It would’ve sucked out there today with just a few people. Hopefully I was able to keep you moving and warm throughout.
2) It’s good to see you back in action @#1!
3) Very little mumble chatter today, that is until YHC pulled an @Blind Date during MARY. It was all downhill from there…
4) Great partnering with you @Major Pain. Strong work today, particularly during those partner pull ups and wheelbarrows!
5) TRADITION TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY is coming up on March 3rd. A quality beatdown with some Tradition OG’s at the helm is being prepared. Plan to come celebrate with us both that morning and for a cookout at YHC’s house that evening!
6) Spring Mud Run is on 04/30/16. Start planning and training now. Let’s get a huge crowd and fill a couple of buses.
7) Sorry if I disappointed you with more running than expected @Pongo. Had to keep us warm. Not to mention, the cruises I’ve been on recently are helping. See you at The Valley tomorrow?

    1. Coyote January 19, 2016 at 7:44 am

      And shots fired @Dingo!!!

      1. Dingo January 19, 2016 at 11:06 am

        He does like to talk about Q-School…….Maybe one day he will get off his ass and lead one…..

    If the Master IT Q would fix Word Press, The QIC and Pax would have appeared on the original BB posting. BB has been updated to include the information that was entered correctly the first time!

    1. Forgotten Jelly January 19, 2016 at 9:36 am

      I do need to talk to @AP about that.

    2. Dingo January 19, 2016 at 11:07 am

      It appears that no one else has this problem……which would mean the problem lies within you Buckwheat…..

  3. Dingo January 19, 2016 at 11:08 am

    Good workout Buckwheat!

    It was COLD!!! That was the worst its been for me so far. Did not enjoy that coldness one little bit.

    Thanks for partnering up Jelly!

      Did you wear gloves and if so would you have done it without gloves?

  4. BlindDate January 19, 2016 at 11:24 am

    Great workout @Buckwheat given the elements. Definitely appreciated moving around until the frost bite wore off a little.

    Thanks for partnering up @Pongo! Welcome back.

    @Buckwheat great job this am, it didn’t take long for everyone to complain about exercises and not the cold!
    You are getting faster also!

    I fartsacked! Fartsacking problem here. See you tomorrow in the gloom at the Valley!

  7. Buckwheat January 19, 2016 at 4:15 pm

    @Dingo- I’ll gladly assist w/ the next Q school. At least I know one of us will show! Can you read me Freed to Lead so I can learn the history of F3?

    @Major Pain: Thanks, brother. I’m working hard to become a better runner for the first time in my life!

  8. Guinness January 19, 2016 at 5:06 pm

    @Buckwheat, You want Dingo to read it to you and tuck you in?

  9. Buckwheat January 19, 2016 at 7:06 pm

    Yes!

    1. Guinness January 19, 2016 at 7:21 pm

      LOL He’s got plenty of practice. See you in the gloom, Buckwheat.
