Six regulars and one FNG gathered at Batteau this morning for coffee, bagels, and Hot Potatoes. 5:30 sharp, time to mosey. YHC took us to the far side of the field to see what the neighbors on Forest Hill Avenue were having for breakfast.
COP: Arm Circles (10) SSHs (20) DQs (11 – not sure why). Shut it down. NOTE: YHC hasn’t practiced much with cadence, so I wanted to get some in today. Unanimously confimed, I’m terrible at it. Come bust my chops tomorrow at Heartbreak Ridge for my Q.
THANG: Clockwork Merkins – OYO. 5 at midnight / 3 o’clock / 6 o’clock / 9 o’clock. Repeato counter clockwise.
Mosey to top of the stairs of pain. Collect rocks. Circle up. 2 left arm / 2 right arm Merkins at each rock. Plank walk to next rock, clockwise back to original rock. Next up, counter clockwise, 1 left arm / 1 right arm Merkin back to your rock.
Pass the sugar. Hardywood, you’re up. Saunter to the bottom of the stairs. HR Merkins – run to the bottom of the next set of stairs. Squats. Hump to top of the stairs. Burpees. Repeato. 5 /10 /15. Shakedown’s turn to serve coffee.
Tennis Court: 4 corners. 10 Merkins / 20 LBCs / 30 2-count Mountain Climbers / 40 squats – Progressive.
Native American run – sorta – to the stage left over from last night’s music fest. Attempt box jumps. To shakey. Mosey back down to the site of Clockwork Merkins. Burpees / Box Jumps x 20. Dang!
Sugar Sock, you’ve never been to Batteau before, so you’re up. Make sure the food is hot, and bring us home brother! Mosey to tennis courts for Triple Check: Leg Lifts / Squats / Lap around tennis courts x 3.
Back to the Flag
NMS:
Great work today gentlemen, especially to FNG ABBA. I hope the pain was as promised. Look forward to seeing you back out soon.
Thoughts and prayers this morning for a few of our brothers specifically, and all of them collectively. Great thing about F3 is that no matter where you turn, there’s a brother nearby. Lean on us when needed, hold us up when you can. Awesome stuff!

Well done today men. Complete beatdown.
Way to work guys – welcome Abba !
Great to see Sugar Sock out there @ Batteua
See y’all in the gloom..
Nice AO, was glad for the tour before it was my turn. Great work out there guys and way to get us started and bring us home, Vinny. No better way to start a week.
Great work guys
Good fun Vinny – don’t forget the four corners on the court before the box jump burpees.
Those rock Merkins were terrible. Way to bring the pain
Vinny, if that’s your tag line, let me fill you in on some advise I got in school….in multiple choice, if the answer contains ALWAYS or NEVER, it is usually not the correct answer. #untuckd #bedrocksandals #freakflag
F3 is open to all men so, like it or not Vincent, is untucked and/or toe showers are here to stay ?
us, not is…
Not in the case of untucked shirts and flip-flops. #Merica
Toe knuckle hair….a real thing of beauty. 🙂
Great Q and a solid start to Monday. Thanks to Wheelbarrow for being my LIFO buddy.
