Shooting the Breeze

Date: 7.22.26

PAX: Hot Dish, Greenspan

A hint of a breeze greeted YHC during the RIRO from Mi Casa across Miller Park for the double-down after getting my butt kicked by Resistor at Redline in the gloom.  Upon arrival at launch, Hot Dish was found waiting, enjoying the AC of his new truck.  He reluctantly emerged and remarked, “One of these nights, I’m going to pull site-Q privileges and we’re going to go get dinner.”  Tonight was not that night.

Warmarama:

We moseyed the short distance to the covered AARP area.

SSHs, Abe Vigodas, Whirlies, Stretchy Stretches, Hamstring Stretches, Cherry Pies

The Thang:

YHC had not visited the exicon in a minute and found an interesting routine:  MABAta (https://f3nation.com/exicon?entryId=exicon-1767887914624-mabata).  Essentially, do a set number of reps per minute, then another exercise for the remainder of the minute.  YHC chose pull-ups because….there were pullup bars.

EMOM – 5 pullups, then ISTs for remainder of the minute.  Do this for 5 minutes.

We then moseyed along the creek path to the amphitheater for B.O.M.B.S.  All exercises x 10.

  • Burpees, Overhead Claps, Merkins, Big Boy Situps (WW2s), Squats

Continuing our mosey around the south side of the park and then to the upper circle to find a picnic table for 7s.  Partner A = 1 dip, partner B = 6 squats.  Continue until Partner A does 6 dips, Partner B does 1 squat.

Then, under the picnic shelter we did derkins, American Hammers, diamond merkins, and step-ups, all x 10.

We moseyed around the upper circle the long way and eventually back down to the amphitheater for another round of the derkins, AH, diamonds, and step-ups.

Then we headed back to launch.  We did a static hold on the pull-up bars for 30 seconds and move on to –

Mary:

  • Blind Date’s Speed Date – 1 merkin, pause, 2 merkins, pause, 3 merkins, pause, continue escalating until you die.
  • Heels to Heaven (IC) x 10
  • Freddie Mercs x 10
  • Low Plank until time

Announcements:

  • F3 softball is on Sunday. See Slowpitch or Zima.
  • Drano has a 50k in the fall he invites all to join.
  • Mentorship will begin next Monday at VI. Come for a 30 minute workout and 15 minutes of being mentored.

Prayer Requests:

  • Hot Dish’s kids are both headed off / back to college soon.
  • Also, HD’s knee.

NMM:

  • This was a great evening spent with an outstanding HIM. You should ask Hot Dish about how he scored his new truck.
  • HD appreciates when pax Q at High Life as a double-down; he does not appreciate saving the Speed Date for the end. “We should have done this first!”
  • Conversation topics included kids, jobs, weather, travel, and weekly mileage need to get ready for Bourbon Chase.
  • Hoping to see Brown Bag and Rudolph (and other HL regulars) back out soon.

Thanks for the keys and fellowship, HD.  I’ll be back soon.
