Parking lot and paths were a bit sketchy this morning. Glad no one slipped and got hurt. Luckily, there was enough crunchy snow in the porta-potty lot to do everything on my weinke without having to do a complete audible. Patmos won Monday! Here is what we did.

Moleskin:
Great to be back at Patmos! I definitely need the Qdrenaline today. Glad I signed up for the Q because I would have most likely fartsacked otherwise; especially since Mr. Incredible will be bringing it tomorrow like he always does.
Please say a little prayer for PacRat’s dad!
Nice effort by everyone today except for PacRat. He purposely forgot his rucksack.

Backblast 2/20/21: Hace Frio – Iwo Jima
PAX: Thunder, PacRat, Optimus, Dr. Freud, Bob Villa, The Mick, HHH, Mufasa, Lights Out, Class Act (QIC), The Bard, Scarecrow, Bessie, Minion, Fonzie, Atticus.
The F3NWInd men gathered in the gloom and cold to pay homage to the Marines who began the battle for Iwo Jima in February of 1945. The official Iwo Jima WOD called for 2 rounds of 45 burpee step ups, 19 sandbag cleans, and 300m ruck x2 (1200m all together). I thought the F3NWInd men could do that easily, so I upped the ante and y’all delivered.
Warmup
SSH x 30ic
Windmill x 10ic
Bean pickers x 10ic
Toy Soldiers x 10ic

The Pax threw on the rucks and picked up their coupons and I did my best Bane impression: “We’re going mobile.”
Quick mosey to the neighbors at the Sportsmans Club through the 3ft deep snow.

Sandbag/ruck/coupon deadlift x 5
Burpee step-ups on picnic tables x 10

This was a slug fest, especially with the rucking through the snow with the coupons. I wasn’t planning on rucking through the snow to the Sportsman’s club, but I’m glad it worked out that way, and I think it did work. So, we did 100 burpee step ups with rucks, 50 cleans and 50 deadlifts, and my watch said a little more than a mile in rucking – most of which was through the snow. It was a pleasure to hurt myself with you all this morning and I hope to be able to lead you through a ruck workout next month too. SYITG.

Two minute plank
MOLESKIN:
Great job by the PAX’s to the bitter end…. KATO was awesome passing us all on the last run as he passed by all the Pax to end behind PACRAT before the ab bust. The MICK as always giving it everything he has and making us PAX know one day we could be that good. OPTIMUS smiled the whole time while taking it serious trying not to laugh at my first time. Ha ….PACRAT well he’s PACRAT – “good to great”. It was a pleasure to grab coffee and reflect with these great men on Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. AMEN and respect brothers.
See you all soon,
BV

Backblast 2/15/21: Patmos 100
Date: 2/15/2021
Pax: Optimus, Pacrat, Bob Villa (POTD), Muck (QIC)
AO: Patmos
The Daytona 500 was last night so I figured lets do the 100 series. I recall the first one we did at The Hub. It was the worst, weather wise, day of the year. There was a legit sheet of ice throughout The Hub and it was sleeting heavily during the workout. This morning at Patmos was not at bad as that day but it was bad enough to remind me.
I also wanted to recognize Bob Villa for crushing the weight loss contest. I heard he was doing great a few days before weigh in but when he posted his before and after picture I was floored. 30 lbs in a month and a half is impressive. Anyhow, let’s see what we did:
