9 men broke free from the warmth of the fartsack for the early morning first watch and a bowl of Gumbo to close out their 2025. It was served up as follows:
Mosey through the driveway (paying our burpee tolls at the two speed bumps) to the back parking lot. Line up for some warmups to increase the body temps, including high knees, buttkickers, karaoke, and bounders. Then circle up for traditional COP to Attila’s delight. COP included Froggy’s favorite time to shine – jazzercisers and a bunch of other stuff. COP ended with a controversial game of 2025 pop-trivia that resulted in more burpees than correct answers, but EF Hutton and Splinter were all over the Sydney Sweeney question. You’re welcome for cutting the questions short.

NMS: Great way to start the morning and end the year. We even got a Handshake visit to coffeeteria following his solo workout at W-Dog. The SZN of Giving continued with some bubbly and minis to aid tonight’s festivities. Enjoy celebrating 2025 and all that was accomplished, enjoyed, overcome and experienced. Here is to the excitement of a new year. I wish everyone a happy new year, and I hope we all take our F3 energy into the new year with hope and optimism and that the new year brings health, happiness and prosperity to all in F3 RVA.
