A record 213 men formed up at 6 a.m. for the latest edition of The Dogpile (officially a pop-up stop on the Summer Tour). Temperatures were 70 and sunny. With UpChuck’s 9th Anniversary on offer, the PAX were treated to a menage of many YHC’s favorite Q’s from other PAX members over the years. To start, the PAX were given two choices: 1 hour of pain (beatdown) or 100 miles of pain (ride). 13 choose the beat down, and one (Florence) was FIFO (first-in, first-out, in his PC). Sorry to miss you, my brother. 200 chose the ride. According to the ladies sporting a contact high while cleaning up the Amphitheater, the following might have happened.

Slaughter Starter: 5 burpees.

Mosey to grassy area, wait, dodge some cyclists, wait, dodge some more cyclists, and then, wait, dodge some more cyclists between the normal circle and the Great Lawn for the COP.

COP:

100 SSHs (4 count).
Dead man hang. Fudd’s wife, right leg, left leg, pigeon (left / right), Wilson’s wife, Fudd’s wife.
Hand release merkins (20)
Copperhead squats
LBCs
Flutter kicks
The PAX was put on notice that this was a “Leroy Jenkins” friendly workout. Courtesy of Splinter, at any point during the hour, each PAX member can – one time – call “Leroy Jenkins” and the PAX then run as a group to the center of the large traffic circle.

Mosey 40 feet closer to the Carillon for Touch-a-Tree (courtesy of several prior Qs). This never disappoints. 9 years of q-ing…same questions…3 partners, touch 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2 trees…and so forth.

Leroy Jenkins called at least once.

Mosey to the Carillon for a non-traditional Dora (again, a Q favorite over the years). 50 merkins (each), 200 flutters (4 count), and 300 SSHs (ultimately 2 count). This was a test, for sure. The warm, humid air took it out of the PAX, but they persisted. And, they called “Leroy Jenkins” at several points.

Mosey to the Amphitheater for “Self Destruction,” courtesy of Circle K and his children. Starting at the bottom, the PAX did 1 merkin, 1 monkey humper, and 1 v-up at the first step, then did one additional rep of each exercise as they progressed up the Amphitheater. 2, 3, 4, 5, and so forth. EF Hutton commented that “V-ups are the Devil’s Exercise.”

Four guys called “Leroy Jenkins” simultaneously towards the end. Whew!

The PAX moseyed back to the virtual shovel flag for the COT. Numbers, names, and YHC took us out with a message of thanks to the PAX for nine years of support, friendship, patience, and good humor. You all are wonderful.

Announcements:

Some dudes are eating hot dogs together at lunch on Tuesday. Join them.

Breaking Bread this month…for those newer to F3, each of us should take a turn at this. F3RVA has hosted this on the fourth weekend of every month for 9 years. 9 years. This is our collective volunteer event. We always want / need new people to become involved. With 24 nights per year, we should be able to staff this quite easily. We need men to step up! See Oyster for details.

The Bridge continues on July 13. Whitesnake is leading. This is our opportunity to share F3 with ALL men…including those who are transitioning from prison to gen pop (where the rest of us live). These guys are working hard to change their lives, and we want you to be a part of that effort. For some, this is an effort to help a group in need; for others, this is a great opportunity to pick up Jesus’ call to “visit the imprisoned.” Regardless of your motivation, let’s do this! Contact Whitesnake for details.

NMS:

Soupy today. But, out of the soup came two men new to F3RVA.

Loose Lips joined us on a visit from Columbus, OH. He’s in the area for a few days, and he expects to be back every now and again. Cool to meet someone in the office furniture business!

Hitch brought an FNG to the beatdown (in addition to the 200 FNGs at the ride) today as well. After confirming with the Pickelball leadership that they do not believe attending PB on Monday merits a name, today was Josh’s first official F3 workout. Upon hearing the discussion of whether he had a nickname, he matter of factly said the following. “You can’t give yourself a nickname. Didn’t we learn that in elementary school?” So true, and indeed, most of us did. He will fit in quite well around here. But, YHC digresses…after a long discussion that included 80s dance music references (or 90s?), the band ABC, Kris-Kross (Jump, Jump!), and several other references, the PAX settled on “Applesauce.” Welcome, Applesauce!

Also, 200 FNGs for the ride. YHC thanks EF Hutton for his help with naming each of them.

UpChuck spits the bit.
