Side note….I usually get up earlier stretch out get a few little things done then I am on my way. This morning, woke up at 515 and went WTF so a little hustle plus make sure my 2 cats were taken care of before I left. I knew what the conditions were going to be so I was mentally ready. A few sips of my drink on the way then I arrived. The first of what will be many Qs led at Dogpile soon began with a mosey to the main circle for WARMARAMMA. SSHs, Don Quixotes, Jazzercise, Imperial Walkers, Copperhead Squats, Merkins, LBCs and Alabama got rolled by Indiana prom dates to conclude the beginning, First up down to the theater
With the steps and darkness as our canvas, we did an odd even stairway of torture(odd number incline merkins, even squats). Then to an area over by a secondary circle for one of my favorites(DORA). 100 Merkins, 200 squats, 300 LBCs with a little loop run the blood flowing, sweat in the rain cranking up. Then to the road where one day, we will return to the classic full triangle I have a couple of ideas but need to wait till a convergence or a really big group. A nice triple check(mountain climbers, lunges, chaser run to the circle and back. Afterwards to the tower, welcome to khaotic
The debut of the khaotic merkin….it is a since rep of 10 merkins touching each shoulder, each knee, each foot, cross stretch, mike tyson walk the hands back stand then end with one deep squat. Example merkin shoulder, merkin other shoulder, merkin knee etc. Combined with run up the tower steps and back down(we got screwed the lights were not on so with the rain the steps blended in and became a little tricky. I like them, now imagine doing 10+ rounds which one day will be the challenge at the tower. A little mosey to the stage in the back for a tricep dip holding feet into a suitcase squat variance(work on that more but it has potential).
One final mosey to the flag a little stretch then time was up(no going over nailed it). Announcements(see Slack big ones the Bridge upcoming in 2 weeks and frozen triangle in Feb. Prayer led by YHC to close things out(then over to Libble Market for an after F3 brekkie).
Why did I switch from RNR to Dogpile on Saturdays? I had been an RNR guy for over 3 years, but it was getting to a point that I needed a change. I had talked about going, working out at other F3 spots so it was time(overdue actually). If I had a regular work schedule, or things worked in my favor I would be at more AOs(right now I can’t without messing myself up). 2026 when the opportunity presents itself, you will see me at more spots(get over to Twin Team, No Toll, Circus Maximus, 45EMOM etc). Even on days that I feel either good or bad, I am learning what my body and mind are doing. That’s another thing I am learning if you see my heart rate and other stats, I am getting good work in but today for example my average HR was only 118(max 168). Yesterday 100 with a max of 160. I appreciate those who came out today, I look forward to my my next oneand the challenges ahead. See you soon
