Today celebrated two firsts… my VQ @ The Dump and my first no-coupon Q! I had a plan of covering more scenic areas of the Dump other than the parking lot but the snow & ice required an audible. I stuck to the planned beatdown as best possible and still feel we got a good workout. Techno group Daft Punk announced their breakup after 28 years so 7 rounds * 4 sets = 28…. much better than a single set of 28!🤮 (especially in the crunchy snow)

Thanks to those men able to attend. Great job everyone-  TCLAPS Lights Out for not throwing me into the lake, Kato pushing the early sprints, and Bozo/Muck/Optimus….those guys keep on going and bust out anything you throw at them! Also, I don’t always make coffeeteria which made that time today a bonus for me.

During reflection this week I was reminded of our free will and our ability to choose…. and our ability to choose Gods love for us, and to choose His divine mercy, now. It was noted how sad it will be for those who willingly do not know His mercy through a personal relationship now will end up asking (begging) for it in vain when it is too late. 

….an interesting concept applicable to many facets of life… get in shape now or pay for it later; create a loving relationship with your spouse now or beg for one when things go south; get your house in order now or struggle & be saddened later when it’s too late. 

Put God in the center and everything will come together.

It was said towards the beginning of the beatdown that this one seemed similar to the beatdown I Q’ed right before I got COVID… that is correct, though entirely unintentional. I “liked” the simplicity and the repetition… hopefully others shared that sentiment as well… though the mumblechatter seemed to state otherwise.
It was an amazing morning to get out. We couldn’t really ask for better weather in February and, other than a bit a of ice and 18″ of snow to battle through down to the bars, it started to feel just a bit like spring.
It was great, though unexpected, to have such a large group out. It’s always a pleasure and honor to lead you men in the gloom. I pray that it kicked off a great day for each of you, and you all served those around you in the way(s) God lead you.

Until next time…. SYITG
Mr. Incredible

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.

SYITG,
HHH

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 Thang
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.
Beatdown: 10 rounds with rucks on
Sandbag/ruck cleans or coupon complex x 5
Sandbag/ruck/coupon deadlift x 5
Burpee step-ups on picnic tables x 10
150m-ish ruck with coupon through snow to end of parking lot and back to tables
Mosey back through the snow to parking lot for Mary

Mary
Coupon flutter x 30ic
WWII x 20
Coupon Bay City Scissors x 10ic
1 min plank

Moleskin
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.

BACKBLAST 2/18/2021 Snow Stairs to Heaven @ The DUMP

PAX: Optimus, The Mick, Pacrat, Kato & Bob Villa

5 PAX started the day on the right foot for a great morning beat down at the dump. Not knowing the condition of the stairs we took a pole of the PAX and it was decide to go for it.. so here’s how it went down…

WARM UP:

x15 Bean Pickers

x 20 Side Straddle Hops

x 25 Unperfect Squats

x 2 Bateen Death March Indian Run – 3 burpee head start parking lot lap

THE THANG:

Stairway to Eleven – Started w/ Burpees at the bottom with a incline merkin halfway up and completed a squat at the top and running (sliding) back down the stairs. Each time adding a rep to finish at 11.

MARY:

Finish a run from the stairs to the parking lot

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
