6/16 Backblast #Flexington

by F3LexKY Admin, posted in Backblast

Six weeks ago we launched F3 Lexington.  I was there for the first post and I’m here for the last time the Louisville guys are here to help Q.  I noticed so many faces that were there from the start and I can tell that this train is officially rolling in #Flexington

Shout out to Grinder for tagging along with me today.  Strong HIM.

Q – OJ

PAX: Oshag, Sous Vide (R), Ollie, Hanz and Franz, Mr. Hand, Grinder, Beeper, Lucky, Zebra, Duggar, Barney Fife, Count Chocula, Radio, Dr. Evil (FNG), Puggles (FNG), Yanni (FNG)

Disclaimer given

The start was an easy mosey up to the field

20 Abe Vigotas IC

20 Hillbillies IC

20 Grass Grabbers IC

100 SSHs IC – crowd pleaser

Early name session plank

While planked up in the circle, each PAX went around and said their name, school they attended, and their favorite movie.  Radio’s favorite movie is Radio, but I already knew that.  One person agreed with me that the Shawshank Redemption is their favorite.  Love me some Andy Dufresne.

After finding out that the coupons are in OG’s custody, I made a slight adjustment in my winkie.

We went with the standard Dora

Partnered up – wait what’s that?  We have an odd number? Of course we do.  That takes my streak to 74 straight times I’ve needed an even number and ended up odd. We added the numbers up to the following:

100 merkins

200 Squats

300 LBCs

Next was a mosey to the tennis courts

I brought my personal favorite get to know your partner better workout

Parters would Wheelbarrow to the end of court 2, switch up and the other would Wheelbarrow to the end of court 4, run back

Next Partners would Yoda carry to the end of court 2, switch up and the other would Yoda to the end of court 4, run back

Took a couple of minutes here to go over some general housekeeping for F3.  Here’s what we talked about:

1 5 Core Principles

2 Importance of Pre and Back Blasts

3 Having someone like Tron for example who can spearhead some kind of way to record PAX data

4 Safety – M’s phone numbers on hand

5 2nd F – Happy Hours, Lunches, Coffeeterias

6 3rd F – Give back

7 Designing a Logo

8 Breaking out new AOs

9 Shovel Flag making

10 Keeping coupons on site

Next we all lined up and bear crawled to the end of c1, crab walked to the end of c2, lunged to the end of c3, and broad jumped to the end of c4.

Last we partnered back up and while p1 was doing squats on the baseline, the other would do a suicide going to the end of court 4.  My plan was to use the entire 8 courts here for the suicide.  I’m really glad someone talked me out of it.  Many of the Pax here were a little gassed.

We headed back to the flags as I had some abs to crush.

20 Box Cutters IC

20 Pretzel Crunches (10 on ea side) IC

20 Flutter Kicks IC

20 Dying Cockroaches IC

20 Davinci’s

We rocked boats and canoes for a second but the gravel was digging into my back to I nixed that rather quickly.

Grand finale:

We circled up and I busted out the bluetooth and we all listed to the call from the Belmont last Saturday while in plank position.  Each time the announcer said Justify we’d go down for one merkin.  Geeezzz the Belmont is longggg… woof

COR/NOR

I can tell that these men of Lexington are all in on this thing called F3.  Got to see Lucky today who came last week.  A fraternity brother of mine I hadn’t seen in years.

There were quite a few intentions given and I asked the Good Lord above to be with those said and unsaid.  I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the men of Lexington and how they can impact the community there.

I love this group.
