43 high impact men joined YHC in celebrating the season with another phenomenal time at NoToll this morning for the F3RVA award winning tradition of 12 days of Christmas. The morning started like any other with a mosey to the parking lot, introduction, welcome to the FNG, disclaimer, F3 Mission, and a few warmup exercises. No need for any additional work so we moseyed, some slower than others, over to the pavilion for the real fun. (Requests have been made for additional pavilion space and further drying of the southeastern field for next year, noted)
Over the years the exercises have changed slightly but they stayed the same between last year and this year. Oyster and EF Hutton remembered the days of dips and derkins, no longer possible due to lack of bench space. Crunchy frogs were added in as a staple at some point along the way but why change something that works, especially the burpees.
For those curious the exercises today were: 1 – Dozen (12) LBCs; 2-Sprints(mosey) across the field; 3-Diamond Merkins; 4-Imperial Squat Walkers; 5-Burpees; 6-Carolina Dry Docks; 7-Ball Dippers; 8-Hand-release merkins; 9-American Hammers; 10-Freddie Mercuries; 11-Crunchy Frogs; 12-Broad Jump Burpees. We had a pause after round 6 for some instructions on how to do an Imperial Squat Walker but otherwise the PAX was in tune and enthusiastic from the get go.
Close things out with a little Mary to finish at 0615 on the dot.
Thank you to the veterans of the 12 days – some quick/unofficial Big Data research has Doner Kebab as the only 10 time finisher with Hardywood and EF Hutton close behind with 9. Welcome to those first timers and our FNG Dookie – it was too easy and quick once he answered Gomer’s first concert question. Hope he makes it back out.

Another year, another energizing morning during the holiday season with the men of F3RVA. I cannot tell you all how much it means to have everyone show up and join me for the 12 days. Hard to believe this is the 10th episode of this and it’s still going strong.
Thanks to EF Hutton for organizing the Secret Santa Gift Exchange again, that was another hit. DK’s bucket of dongs and calendar from Belay wins for best gift. Remember for next year, dongs are always funny. Have a great day, happy holidays to all. See you in the gloom.
Everything is coming up Rosie.
