Dr. Freud did a pre-work out.

All together for the workout, we did about 1.5 miles of sweat and tears.

Congrats Pax we discovered the areas of The Hub by charging through rough dirty snow and intense Suicides.

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

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

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.

Thank you for posting this morning. My week has been a little crazy with all this bad weather across the US, so I literally came up with this one over a nice dirty martini last night. Inspired with the idea from Mr. Incredible Q last September, but he was quick to not take credit for my twist of his Q– ha. I just wanted to keep moving and get in some good steps, due to not doing anything physical the last couple of days. We got in just under two miles, so that is great work by all of you in a 45 min beatdown. I know this one was not too creative, but thanks for grinding out and killing it this morning. Until next post, Mufasa.

5 PAX were able to dig themselves out of our snow dump and make there way for a morning beatdown in the continued snowfall. Given the uncertainty of the conditions, I didn’t have a pre-planned workout and decided to wing it once I got there. Here’s what we managed.

Moleskin:
Tclaps to the guys that were able to make it out this morning. And for those that were able, tclaps as well for making the smart decisions to dig themselves and their families out from our snowfall. It sounds like there were a number of us that got secondary workouts in today shoveling or in some other fashion removing snow from various locations. It was a pleasure as always to be out leading whoever shows up for a beatdown.

Until next time,
Scarecrow
