Feeling Dicey before the Icy

Feeling Dicey before the Icy

Shortly after I started posting at F3, Zephyr had the Q at WIB around September 2025 and held it at Calvary Baptist Church. Being a good friend, I joined the beatdown and it was a STRUGGLE! I mean I barely made it through the workout. So fast forward to today. I had the Q at WIB and kept telling myself, “I am getting revenge on this dice beatdown.” So that is how the beatdown today was created.

PS – Gave Calvin Harris Radio on Spotify 1 more chance and only 1 Calvin Harris song was played. Guess its time to find a new playlist.

Warmup:

Side straddle hops, arm swirlies, seal claps, Michael Phelps, high knees, whirley’s with a clap and a nice mosey around one of the tree islands in the parking lot.

The thang:
Prerequisite – 8 dice. I had 5 from Yahtzee that never gets played. Zephyr picked up my slack

Pretty simple but effective workout. 4 stations with 6 different exercises on each weinke.

• Merkin Mania
• Jello Legs
• Core Crushers
• Burpees

Start at station 1, roll the dice. Lower number is the workout on the weinke, higher number (times 2) is the amount of reps.

Run up the monster hill to station 2. Repeat the rolling of the dice.

Bear crawl (then some added exercises) to station 3 and repeat rolling of the dice.

Run down the monster hill to the burpee station. Bear crawl (or added exercises) to station 1.

Rules:

Snake eyes = 10 extra burpees
Pair of 2,3,4,5 = 20 Side Straddle Hops
Pair of 6s = 25 Carolina Dry Docks

Last 5 minutes we finished with some Mary.

• van.gogh was on one today. He was certainly feeling Dicey as he absolutely beasted the beatdown.
• Cruiser didn’t have his weight vest today so does that count towards VI points? With or without a vest, cruiser just “gets sh*t done”.
• Zephyr inspired me with this workout from when he hosted a WIB at Calvary back in September(ish) 2025 and I knew I needed to get a beatdown revenge because that day was a STRUGGLE for YHC. Thank you for letting me hold the keys temporarily this morning.
• El Chapo was our downrange PAX from Raleigh. Van.gogh posted in the preblast that he’s a beast. Yeah, beast is an understatement. I don’t think he broke a sweat and is probably running back to Raleigh as we speak to get a good workout in. Oh and Raleigh doesn’t do hand signals, so he was looking at us like we were crazy.
• Lamb Chop hit me with the question “If cutting something by 2 is half, what is it called when you cut it by 3?” Well, I was running up the monster hill as he asked so I just went ahead and said, “We are tricing it”. No clue how that event spelt but it sounded cool.
• Dr.toot was living up to his name this morning. Someone even turned to him and said “I am worried about you”. That made me laugh. He also decided to stare at me as I introduced myself and went over the mission statement and core principles. He said I look different. Must be my grey hair multiplying.
• Drama Queen was running up the monster hill with Toot (as he was leaving his trail, probably) and was talking about how he likes the dicey workouts and how they come back from time to time. It’s nice getting DQ’s approval!
• I don’t think I have posted much with Mutton but I had to ask Zephyr on the drive afterwards if he and Lamb Chop were related because they look very much alike. Come to learn, Mutton is Lamb Chops dad. Learn something new every day.

Thank y’all for letting me lead today. Great work!
