  • Who said anything about running?

    A perfect number of triple check PAX made their way out of the Gloom in hopes that a Doozy Q might not have a burpee in it. Once the lights came on this is what was reported

    COP mosey to the black top play area

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Cherry Pickers, Imperial Squat Walkers, LBC’s

    Mosey around the way and across the street for some four corners prostitute style

    Mosey to the next building over for a lap around and think about how to best use the space

    Triple check – Partner 1 does lunges on the little hill, Partner 2 does WWII’s while partner 3 runs around the building.

    Mosey back across the street to the school, in front of the school lets do elevens the long way

    NMS:

    Lots to talk about this morning, thoughts on parenting and best ways to handle teenage issues. We (men of F3RVA) have a wealth of experience when it comes to parenting, with all that experience we still get things wrong but that’s okay. As a dad you need to push to learn from your mistakes (learn from others mistakes) and hopefully your child will not end up as screwed up as you are. The mistakes of your children can not be 100% laid on your shoulders though, give yourself the grace to understand that your children have adult decisions to start making and that what they choose or choose not to do might be “based” on their upbringing but in the end are their responsibility. There is a point in your parenting career where you need to transition from being in charge with discipline and as dictator of their lives to being a mentor and guide to adulthood. This transition is hard to make, start too early and they may go off the tracks, start too late and …. Oh wait they may still go off the tracks!!! “Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old (not necessarily a teenager), he will not depart from it. Prov. 22:6

  • 1 Burpee

    NMS: YHC was not real sure how to work this Q without using shoulder muscles but between legs and abs there are actually lots of options, you just need to think on the fly. Thanks to the guys who posted this morning for having patience as I put it all together.

    NMS:

    In a conversation with McRib and Heist, Heist asked how hard was it to write the BB? YHC told him that it wasn’t hard but then realized that after 65 BB for the year YHC’s BB’s are getting less and less creative.

    Heist has his VQ on November 16th at SOT

  • You do you

    Everyone mosey around the track to drop of 3 frisbees at 4 points around the track middle of both straightaways and in the middle of both turns

    Bootcampers do one of the exercises written on the frisbee while runners run one lap (alternating speed each lap – Slow then Fast) once lead runner returns from lap Bootcampers run to next set of frisbees. If Bootcampers want to run a lap rather than do a set of exercises You do You. After time was called PAX got together to make one last trip around the track as a group, Nancy Lopez was the lead rabbit fort this lap.

    NMS:

    YHC wanted to run this morning but he was also the Q for the Bootcampers. Last night a plan was devised on how to keep the two PAX together but not have to have one of the PAX not get what they paid for. YHC was also hopping to see Boberry this morning, the speaker was brought and the real musical genius of 80’s rock was played. Long live AC/DC

    Its been a minute since YHC has made it out to Satan’s Hill and I wasn’t 100% sure how far I wanted to take the PAX this morning. With the hill being right there we didn’t have to go far to get in a quality beatdown.

  • More new than old

    3 Regulars, 2 F3 travelers and 2 FNGs made their way out of the gloom and into the light of WDog. According to the dogs at the park this is what went down

    Numbers / Names Bodos took us out

    NMS:

    Wow, what a morning to Q. Lab Rat back out in the mix, so good to see you getting it done again. 2 out of towners – Inbox from Northern VA (he was at the stair climb when YHC was there this last weekend) and Chill Zone from Texas (works with Inbox). 2 FNG’s Welcome Schembechler (also works with Inbox) (he’s an ohio state grad, YHC grew up in Michigan) and Buoy (he’s getting ready to go to Coast Guard bootcamp). As always I love seeing my friend Bodos being an example of a HIM.

  • Just the facts sir, just the facts

    YHC posted with about 115 other PAX in the 6:00 wave at the Lincoln Memorial in DC for the 5th annual 9/11 Stairclimb in the pouring rain. The first wave of early risers went off at 5:00 and had what looked like about 50 PAX – according to the tourists and the couple getting their wedding photos in this is what happened this year.

    Run, walk, crawl whatever you have to do to get up and down the Lincoln Memorial steps with a beatdown at the bottom while waiting for the 6

    There are 87 stairs, you should touch every one on the way up and on the way down, Repeto 24 times. Quick math says that’s 2,088 stair touches each way for all the stairs that the firefighters on 9/11 had to climb in one tower. I believe only on other HIM actually ran in both waves this year, 48 times up and down. Hightower and a hand full of other HIM rucked from his house to the Memorial before the fun started. YHC did wear his 30ish pound ruck sack and ran most of the time but did have to walk on the steeper steps from time to time.

    After all was said and done there was a coffateria on Ohio street

    NMS:

    This was YHC’s second time to visit this AO and I had just as much fun as the first trip. YHC made it a point to try and meet at least 5 new PAX but once you introduce yourself to 1 person they tend to introduce you to their PAX and snow ball gets really big. I can’t remember half the names I learned today.

    Just like last year there was a couple getting their wedding pictures taken and just like last year F3 photo bombed most of their better pictures.

  • Lost in Terrington

    YHC decided to start out on a Terrington route but needed to use the facilities at Robious Landing first.

    Took a wrong turn somewhere before Ashwell and hit almost every dead end in the neighborhood, eventually YHC decided to just walk the rest of it. Found Ashwell headed out to Twin Team and BTTF

  • This is a mountain not a hill

    Day 2 of a great downrange weekend with DTH and Greenbow, several FNGs to introduce to the F3 brotherhood.

    Well when you’re on a mountain what else can you do but run up and down if?

    COP

    DQ’s – 5 Burpees, Helicopters – 4 Burpees, Hillbillies – 3 Burpees, Copperhead Squats – 2 Burpees, ? – 10 Burpees

    Mosey to an area we call the old infirmary Partner up (YHC played the shadow for one group)

    Partner 1 Bear Crawl up grass hill, Partner 2 does exercise, switch. Exercises are Dips, Derkins, Step ups

    Mosey to big hill do some Lunges, Butt Kickers, High knees, and Murder Bunnies to get there

    On the big hill Elevens with American Hammers and Scrunchy Frogs This hill is so steep that an audible is called to make the higher side a descending run, so each set is one light post shorter. Once you get to 5-6 stay at the bottom for 6-5 then start going back to the top

    NMS:

    With a big hike coming up later in the afternoon YHC was asked to not do elevens with Ball Dippers, squats and Bernies on the big hill like last year. YHC decided that was probably a good decision but needed to still incorporate the big hill. Welcome to F3 Nation to all our FNGs this weekend today YHC got to name Mountaineer who is 61 (respect, respect) and normally does Cross Fit back home in WV near Morgantown.

  • Doozy lied to me

    5 regulars joined together for what was to be a beatdown with minimal running, according to the walkers this is what actually happened

    Mosey to the very back parking lot for COP

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers, Dead Man Hangs, Squats

    YHC brought 12 frisbees and a bucket, each frisbee and the bucket gets a parking space

    You choose what space you start on, do 10 of the exercise that is written on the tape run to the far sign (150 +/- yards) Repeto until you’ve done all the exercises on the frisbees and the burpee bucket.

    Stay in this parking lot

    YHC puts 8 of the frisbees in a star pattern around the lot with the Burpee bucket in the middle. Hand out the 4 remaining frisbees (YHC does not get one). The frisbee you carry has an exercise on it, you can trade out that frisbee if you don’t want to do the exercise that your at. Once you do 10 of the exercise that you decide on run back to the middle and do 3 burpees (you can not trade a frisbee for the burpee bucket)

    Mosey around the back to the steps

    5 PAX split into a triple check 2 PAX = 1 partner with YHC being 1 partner

    Partner 1 run down steps touch the sign back up opposite side steps, Partner 2 is doing Dips, Partner 3 is doing balls to the wall

    Mosey BTTF

    NMS:

    YHC may or may not have said the running was going to be kept to a minimum today but plans had to be changed because the gates where closed when YHC arrived and a proper set up couldn’t be done ahead of time. Whenever YHC has to plan on the fly running will be had, sorry not sorry. ?‍♂️?
