1 pax sailed forth into the Fort Lauderdale Gloom for the latest edition of The Clinic. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the zoo keeper building a wooden boat, the following route might have been taken. Route: the usual. No stop outbound. Rest stop inbound. A smidge over 5 miles. NMS: holy cow. The rain did rain on Wednesday in Fort Lauderdale. It was awesome. Perfect temperature and just the right amount of rain to cool things off. There were, oddly, more than the normal level of puddles. So, YHC ran (mostly) around them. Got wet. No biggie. By…

Welp, YHC forgot to post a BB from Tuesday’s bootcamp, so here’s a 2 for 1 deal on backblasts. TUE 4.13.23 – PAX of 3 with Boardwalk, Messi, and DTH – 45 minutes riding the Tryhard pain train, featuring an introduction to a Prostitute 4-corners on the soccer field, though the word prostitute was never used amid juvenile company. The PAX completed a horrific number of reps in best bro-code style, so it took up most of the workout. THUR 4.15.23 – PAX of 3 with NoGrass, Mojang, and DTH – 45 minutes of “fun”, including variable reps on the…
No literally, it was just Tryhard this morning. But without tiny humans slowing things down the Q absolutely smashed the PAX today, and it was soooooo good. An hour later and YHC is still feeling the lactic acid shakes! With just a couple weeks left here in PNG, and attendance still being completely variable, it’s unlikely Ground Zero will continue beyond our departure, but YHC is confident in the positive impact on those who have attended. God is good all the time! SYITG, DTH
YHC awoke early to the sound of raindrops on the tin roof. Exhaustion after taking hospital call last night was screaming to go back to sleep, but was properly ignored in anticipation of a VQ by Boardwalk, who has been a loyal attendee this last month of Ground Zero. At the age of 10, and still carrying a bit of childhood weight, Boardwalk is on the cusp of leaving childhood behind, and it can be seen in the way he carries himself, all the more since joining F3 Ground Zero. He’s gone from being the six to being the servant…
F3 PNG’s one and only and still unofficial AO “Ground Zero” is rapidly accumulating FNG’s of the 2.0 variety. Unlike other 3rd world sweatshops utilizing child manual labor, this one is voluntary and free and ends with a COT. A few adults corralled the gaggle of a 9 umpa lumpas into completing a variety of warm-up exercises, running down and up the gravel hill with various movements, plenty of mary, running around the nursing college, carousel plank walking, a mini-Dora on the field, a solid dose of wall-work, and variable chain reps. We welcomed an Australian friend nicknamed “Kanga”, a…
After getting knocked down with a nasty cold last week and missing two bootcamps (many thanks to Mountain Oyster for covering the Q!), YHC got back on the horse this morning with a slightly lighter-than-usual recovery Q. Joined by Messi and Boardwalk, then later Tiny TRex, the PAX did a fair number of core exercises, hit the hill once with variable movement exercises, completed a triple check, and also some other fun things under the big tent where they’ve set up a stage in preparation for Holy Week services that will go every night Wed-Sat. God is good all the…
One Round Mound took on The Gloom in the latest edition of The Clinic. Temperatures were actually 70 and sunny. According to the lady cleaning the lobby, the following quite possibly happened. Mosey to the MasaGlobal Building. Single point up for the COP. SSHs, Helicopters, Don Quixote, Imperial Walkers, Hand Release Mercans, Shoulder taps, merkins, little baby crunches, hello Dollys, reverse crunches. 3 pointers (triangles). But, stop 6 times. It’s a big triangle. Do this in the form of Elevens. WWIIs and Mercans. Round 2: LBCs and squats Mosey to the parking deck. Ramps, with Mercans and WWIIs. Do 4…
YHC is down in Emerald Isle for the week. Lo and behold that have F3 down here. With FNG brother in law in tow we hit the mean streets of Carteret County. This is more less how it went down: BOONEDOCKS BACKBLAST Per request from @Prego who is apparently too busy to post on Slack (or plan a workout), I am posting the backblast. After a solo standard ran by the Site Q, @BOGO @Tar Hole @Cooter @BreakingBad @Birdman @CouchPotato @Ginger @griswold (fresh off of a strong Palmetto Relay performance) and @Doubtfire were joined by @Boberry from offsite and the…
Eddie Money hailed the dawn light with a solo tribute of this classic ballad, and 10 minutes into a torturous beatdown loop, a second ticket was punched as Mountain Oyster joined in on harmony. The PAX stomped the usual chain railing upper body work and gravel hill leg work, but a Lindsay on the field took the main stage, with LBC’s and Merkins on either side and a unique movement exercise in between. Mosey for Hoedowns (and other wall work) on the concrete block, and then more Mary than Mtn Oyster could manage to close out the 45min set. Victorious…
Heavy rain pelting the tin roof of our missions house suggested I might be heading into a wet solo workout, but a few headlocks yesterday did the trick and five PAX (including one FNG) beat the temptation of the fartsack to take on a rainy beatdown. There were lots of core exercises under the awning, and variable lunging and running loops, all the while explaining the history/principles/credo/etc of F3 to our FNG, Dr Mel, who’s another doc here at Kudjip Station. Most significantly, Imelda is our first female PAX to join Ground Zero and she kicked the workout in the…
