As YHC from down range (F3 Alpha region in suburban Atlanta) was about to deplane in Chicago on Monday, he made contact with F3 Chicago Nant’an Denari and was offered the Q at the Bean for Tuesday. What a rare treat! Of course the response was in the affirmative.
After some Monday evening recon, and forewarning from Denari that Millennium Park security make a living chasing PAX in the gloom, YHC showed up with plan A (park) and plan B (no park) on the weinke.
Security did not disappoint, as a very intimidating 5’ security officer chased YHC out at 5:20. Plan B it is, with a jailbird as your new Q. The PAX assembled on Michigan Ave and we began.
WARM-O-RAMA:
5:30: Quick disclaimer in the pavilion on Michigan/Randolph, followed by:
- Mosey around the lawn
- SSH
- Weed picker
- Windmill
- Arm circles
Warm-o-rama was interrupted by short-stack Smokey, intent on chasing these bandits out onto the streets, so we finished W-o-R on Michigan Ave.
THANG 1: THE GRAND TOUR
5:35: Mile mosey with pain stations
- Station 1: Hurpees on Randolph
- Station 2: 20x dips + 20 big boy situps + 20x dips on Lake Shore
- Station 3 (improvised after the PAX discovered the under-Columbus tunnel was locked): Calf raises in ascending reps on tunnel steps up to street level on Monroe
- Station 4: 20x Star Jumps at park entrance
At this point we did the math and decided if we ran back into the park, by the time our pocket-sized park warden could catch up, it would be 6am and the park would be open, so we did…
THANG 2: 11’s in a Figure 8
5:55: Mosey to the pavilion on Randolph/Michigan
11’s with a twist
- Bear crawl around the fountain (Modified to lunge walks after the first few rounds)
- V-Ups in ascending reps
- Mosey halfway around the lawn
- Burpees in descending reps
- Mosey back
YHC had hoped to do THANG 2 as THANG 1 at the start of the workout, but the fuzz was not on board. So with the remaining time we did as many of these 11’s as we could before some….

6:13:
- LBC
- American hammer
- Penguin
COT:
Exciting upcoming events at The Bean and Dip City. A mix of stalwart local HIMs and rotating tap of down range PAX make this F3 Chicago group an exciting place to be.
NAKED-MAN MOLESKIN:
As a native Chicagoan turned Atlanta transplant, it was YHC’s sincere pleasure to lead these PAX in a jailbreak beatdown in my old stomping grounds. I hope it won’t be the last. Denari is a solid Nant’an and it’s clear he’s got a passion for building this community of HIMs.
Thanks for having me out, men!
