Ten men of superior strength, foresight, and industry joined forces in The Gloom for the latest edition of The Dogpile. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to fokelore told among the local hermits, the following might have happened:
Mosey around the near circle, then circle up on the grassy knoll close to the storage closet for…
50 SSHs, dead man hang, Fudd’s wife, right leg high, left leg high, Wilson’s wife, pigeon right, pigeon left.
LBCs x20, Frederick Mercury x20, Alabama Prom Dates x15, reverse crunches x15…
Imperial walkers x10, Don Quixote x10, and something else.
Mosey to the other circle, then around to the grassy area that we rarely use between the other circle and Park Drive.
Partner up. Partner 1 does squats, Partner 2 runs to the first tree, then returns. Reverso. Round 2: run to the 2nd tree. Round 3: Run to the third tree. Repeat through 7 continuously further trees.
Mosey to the intersection about 30 yards away. New partner. Dora 1-2-3.
Each man does 50 merkins, then do 100 combined WWIIs, and 150 combined 4-count Side-Straddle Hops. Here’s the twist…partners do 3 boo-yah merkins at each swap-over.
Luigi gives us a 20 count.
Mosey about 30 yards onto the grassy area the is surrounded by the Frozen Triangle. We “never” use this grass. Except for today.
Partner up with a new partner. First man runs and touches 5 trees. Second man does flutter kicks. But, the catch…you cannot touch the same trees as your partner. F3 says we are about leadership; we need to step up our game when it comes to teaching communication. This exercise is about very basic communication and coordination…in the dark.
At the end, we compared notes…and different groups touched different numbers of trees. Expected outcome, but not the right outcome. Lessons learned.
Mosey to the bottom of the Frozen Triangle for a Beast up the hill. Bro-code style.
Squats, merkins, LBCs, monkey humpers, 6 burpees (one time…for the sake of time), and Choose-your-own-adventure.
Single file run with the last man coming to the front back to the shovel flag.
Numbers, names, YHC took us out with a prayer for our men and women in harm’s way, especially today.
Announcements:
We call it F3. There are 3 F’s. YHC encourages each of you to be a 3-F guy…fitness (workouts), fellowship (get together with your pals), and faith (do things with F3 guys that help beyond just you).
Breaking Bread needs volunteers at the end of January. See the Q sheet.
The Bridge needs a Q for January and another for February.
