Status check on Hitchhiker…

2023 hours, 23 Sept 2025 Hitchhiker posted on Slack that W-Dog was “on” and tagged a handful of people. YHC thought about how it’s been so long since he has been at W-Dog, so YHC commented on Slack and texted Hitch saying that he was going to be there. YHC started at Broga, and then posted for the first 15 minutes of First Watch until he needed to leave for W-Dog. Hitch hadn’t commented via text or Slack so YHC was worried he was going to be there alone. YHC pulls into the Parking Lot at 0528 hours to see House Party and Faceplant and a couple of cars YHC didn’t recognize, but no Hitch….

0530 rolls around and still no Hitch. Feeling the tug of responsibility (and the lack of desire to run all over the place) YHC grabbed the Q. We had a very recent F3 RVA transplant (Stonks) and a out of town guest from Raleigh (Sanke) who is in town this week for a Seminary course YHC wanted to let them experience some of W-Dogs finest traditions.

Mosey to the Carillon for a COP of various exercises. YHC had each of the Pax call and exercise of their choice.

Mosey behind the Carillon for a Touch a Tree. P1 touches 10 trees, P2 does an exercise, descending by 2 down to 2 trees.

Mosey to the first street just past the bottom of the Triangle for a Triple Check. P1 Bear Crawls to the second tree on the road, P2 Heels to Heaven, P3 Smurf Jacks.

Bernie to the bottom of the Triangle. 30 uphill WWII’s. Bernie all the wall up the back hill of the Triangle to the intersection. 20 HRM’s. Reverse Bear Crawls back to the big circle. 10 Burpees.

Indigenous Peoples Run back to the flag.

Circle up for 2 minutes of Mary. LBC’s and Alabama Prom Dates.
