  • ABB – Not This Time

    15 stalwarts and 1 FNG showed up at NoToll expecting a Swirly style beatdown but got Rosie instead.   YHC stepped in to lead the PAX in some old school fun with Swirly placed on the temporary DL.

    THANG

    Mosey to the  parking lot for warmup.   25xSSH, 15xIW, 15xHillbillies (w/ hop), 15x hand release merkins,  25xFlutterKicks

    Mosey to the first field for Dora, Partner up for 100 merkins, 200 LBC, 300 squats. P2 runs the length of the field  Plankarama

    Mosey to the other, non-brown water, soccer field for The Beast.  Round 1 Q’s Choice, PAX pick after first round

    • Round 1 – Burpees
    • Round 2 – Burpees (Wilson)
    • Round 3 – Merkins (Flatline)
    • Round 4 – Merkins (Flipper)
    • Round 5 – Box Cutters (DK)
    • Round 6 – Burpees (Jville)

    Mosey back to the flag, numberama, namearama and YHC took us out.

    Announcements

    See Wilson for golf tournament info.  May 19 Good times will be had by all while raising money for a good cause.

    Starting April 3, RiverRun will effectively become a Monday run again.  A new bootcamp will start on Fridays at Bettie Weaver.  Names for the new AO are under advisement – The Swamp RVA, Twin Team, Trojan Wars

    Moleskin

    YHC offered to take the Q for Swirly, knowing it was likely the Dr. was to sideline him for a little while.  The man is a machine but sometimes even machines need some time to be repaired, get better soon.  Those showing up hoping for less running for a Swirly Q were sorely disappointed as YHC took the PAX up and down the fields, the long way.

    Not sure what Honeymoon saw across the circle during the hand release merkins but he compared it to a spider humping a monkey, or something like that.  Whatever it was it caused YHC to lose count while the PAX within earshot struggled to complete the merkins.  I’ll leave out the name of the offending PAX member as I am not 100% sure who it was.

    Wilson’s attempt at an All Burpee Beast was thwarted by Flatline, much to the appreciation of the rest of the PAX.  The selection of Jville for the last round was purposeful with YHC knowing he would choose burpees.  Some of us are predictable in certain situations and that can be a good thing.  Thanks for not letting the Q down Jville, YHC didn’t want to be the one to break the news to everyone that another round of burpees was in order.

    Golddigger and Sabotage showed up, each for their second post, and crushed it.  Welcome to “Ball Boy”  YHC reconsidered the name after not being completely satisfied with the name selected.

    I am never surprised but always impressed by the effort everyone puts in each morning.  Great work today, a pleasure to lead such an excellent group of men.

  • Space Station sighting

    The fellowship was strong at SOT as 6 faithful showed up for an international space station viewing with some bear crawls, crab walks and a few other things worked in.

    THANG

    Mosey to the sidewalk beside the school for a warm up, no mile to start today.

    SSHx25, DQx10, Helicopterx10, ArmCircles x15 F/R, Mountian Climber x15, Side Plank Dips x 10 each side, Freddie Mercury x15

    Step up to the curb for some curb crawls, up to 5, repeat 5 and come back down.

    Mosey to the basketball courts for 11s

    Round 1 – Monkey Humpers/Box Cutters, snake from the corner of one court to the next, run the long side, lunge the short side

    Round 2 – Bobby Hurleys/Crunchy Frogs – Run the long side, crab walk the short side

    1 suicide because Basketball/March…Mosey to the gloom of the track for Mary and Space Station viewing – 40 LBC, 10 1-leg APD, 20 Dollies

    Mosey to the track straightway and partner up for Love Track

    100 yards, Partner 1 runs the straightway, Partner 2 broad jump burpees until Partner 1 comes back, repeato for 100 yards.

    Take a lap – audible half a lap. 20 merkins then AYG sprint to the path off the track 130 yards (ish) Slow mosey to the flag

    NMM

    DK sent a text to a couple of us last night that the International Space Station was going to be visible at 6:04 am.  Thinking he was going to be there for the sighting and knowing that SOT has some excellent low light gloom, YHC planned around this.  No DK sighting but we are pretty sure we saw the lights of the space station traveling over us during Mary.  It was on the right path at the right time so that’s enough confirmation for me, next time we’ll bring a telescope.  Gumbo was sure DK and Chicken Whisperer were home thinking up names for FNGs.

    YHC can’t resist a little running but after the last 2 days it was time to travel using some other F3 methods, bear crawls, crab walks, lunges and broad jump burpees seemed appropriate.

    Five of the 6 PAX there this morning were present for Murph Monday and Old Glory Tuesday.  All 5 strongly considered fartsacking but knew the others would be there.  It’s that accountability and fellowship that keeps you coming back despite the sore muscles and tired legs.  One of these days McRib is just going to lay on his horn in Bobber’s driveway to get him out to another AO.  Although stories of the Murph and Old Glory might not help.

    Announcements:

    • HDHH 3/15 Casa de Splinter – See the backblast and sheet to give him a headcount, Ms and 2.0s welcome
    • March challenge – Kettlebell Swings – spreadsheet is up
    • Runs – Ragnar/Toga, SmokyMountain/Swirly, Belmonte/TYA

    Great job pushing it again today gentlemen.

  • Super 6

    YHC got used to pulling into the parking lot at Circus Maximus to a crowd of cars and men carrying around chunks of iron so imagine my surprise when I pulled into an empty lot at 0525.  After briefly contemplating whether the AO would turn into a mix of running and bells an unfamiliar vehicle rolled up next to YHC.  Welcome to Circus Maximus Bunny Slope.  A couple others rolled in before the warm up and then 2 LIFOs from DaVille to make a total of 6.

    THANG

    SSHx25, DQx10, Helicopter x15, ArmCircles x15 each

    1 Burpee:4 KB Swings, increasing by 1 and 4 each round OYO for 5 minutes

    Super Six

    • ½ Get Up (Turkish Getup with only situp portion)
    • Goblet Squat
    • High Pull
    • Reverse Lunge w/ under the leg pass
    • Clean

    Do 30 reps of each, run an easy lap around the curb islands, 20 reps, run a lap, 10 reps, run a lap

    Captain Thor (Hulk Style) – 1 WWII:4 American Hammers w/ KB, increasing by 1 and 4 each round OYO about 4 minutes

    A little time remaining so – 10 Snatch each arm, 10 Alabama Honeymoons, 25 Flutter Kicks w/ KB held high

    NMM

    A lighter crowd today than the past few weeks at CM.  Between the HDHH and MANNdate starting up yesterday in DaVille the fartsack ruled the morning.  Those that escaped the fartsack got to enjoy a simple yet effective beatdown.  Good to see another new face at CM, Bunny Slope was a first timer but seemed to know his way around a workout and KB.  That’s at least 3 days this week for him and after the sandbags yesterday, that’s impressive commitment early on, I’m  sure Corporate will take note of this.  As always it’s a you against you workout and after the Captain Thors Emoji said he thought he lost.  I disagree, I say he won, the only way to get better and stronger is to push and challenge yourself.  YHC was glad to help Mudface delay a decision to go up in weight, apparently today was enough to put that off for a few weeks.  Shockwave made it back out and was a little shocked to have a day below 30 and only 4 to start after his first CM post of 60 degrees and double digit PAX.

    Note to other Qs if you are going to try a new exercise, try it out first with the full weight.  The ½ get ups were tried at home with the Ms 10 lb KB for form but the 35 did not work out so well for YHC.

    Great job today, lots of swings, lots of time under weight and lots of arm fatigue as I type this with my toes.

    Announcements:

    See EF Hutton’s backblast from NoToll earlier this week, he summed it up well.

  • A new Hate Hill

    A breezy sunny and 70 morning greeted 8 redwoods at RiverRun.  A couple RR newbies joined the veterans for a little off campus jaunt.

    A lap around the parking lot to pick up LIFO newbie Flipper.

    Warm up

    SSHx25, Hillbillies x20 (as always with optional Jville hop), Merkin x10, Flutter Kicks x20

    Mosey down the sidewalk, across Robious Road to Twin Team for some Hate Hill.  Partner up,  Alternate running to the glowstick and traveling up the hill with broad jump burpees, lunges and polar bears.

    Pause for some Mary – LBCs, Dollies, APD

    Love Hill going down.   Russian Soldiers,  Crawl bear, duck walk.  Plankarama.

    Up to the top of the hill, just to show the PAX how fun (hateful) the entire Twin Team hill can be.  More Mary-  Freddie Mercuries, Rosalitas.  Back to the start for a double ring of fire with merkins and 6 inch hold with leg raises.

    Numberama, Namearama YHC took us out.

    NMM

    Glad to see Flipper make it out to the closest AO to his Goochland abode, apparently last time he fartsacked on a Monday he could faintly hear the cadence across the river and decided to try it out. Slurpee was another first timer at RR, haven’t seen him in a while, good to see him make out out again.

    Honeydo’s presence was felt when YHC broke out the glowsticks as the turnaround points on Hate Hill.  Leftover from Halloween, they were found in a closet this weekend and were calling out to be used for a Q.  Honeymoon, as expected given his F3 name, has some big plans for Valentine’s Day so we worked in some APDs as prep work for tomorrow.

    This was one of those beatdowns that worked to the Q’s strength.  YHC is of the opinion that hills are fun for everyone, but am not sure all of the PAX share that perspective.  They are especially useful when at least one of the PAX needs to work on them for an upcoming race.  That hill is no joke and everyone powered through it multiple times up and down today.  Oyster is working on getting his legs back, pushing hard like he did today will speed that up.  Maybe next time YHC has the Q we’ll do some ground and pound, or maybe not.  That’s the beauty of just showing up and following the Q.

  • Put the Run back into RiverRun

    Four of the RiverRun regulars emerged from the warmth of their vehicles in time for Wilson to show off his headlight identification skills as Splinter pulled in as the clock ticked 0530.  Wondering whether McRib was going to enjoy his banker holiday in the fartsack off we went.  At some point McRib emerged from the gloom to make it an even 6.

    THANG

    Long warmup mosey on the roads to the track to loosen the joints.

    SSHx? IC, Peter ParkerX10 IC, IWx15

    Fantastic 400s

    10 each of 4 exercises with the twist of 100m run between each of the 4.

    10 merkins – 100m run, 10 Monkey Humpers – 100m run, 10 plank jacks – 100m run, 10 Flutter Kicks (2ct) – 100 m run; Repeato for 20, 30 and 40 reps of each.  Add a straight 400m at a medium pace with a little extra sauce at the end.

    Mosey to the playground for a round of Pull Up/Jump Squat 6s – (Shortened 11s)  5 Pullups/1 Jump Squat, 4/2…1/5

    Mosey to the bus loop, partner up.  Partner 1 bear crawl/crawl bear across bus lane and back, P2 dips on a bench.  3 rounds then 3 rounds with P2 doing step ups/box jumps.

    Mosey around the school the long way to find a dry spot for some Mary.  American Hammer x 20, LBCx50

    COT, Wilson took us out.

    NMM

    We took the long mosey to the track, completed the warm up and began on the Fantastic 400s when from somewhere out of the gloom Kevin Bacon McRibwich (full name) showed up behind us.  Wilson may have a little something extra in his LBTs as he thought it might be a clown emerging from the gloom beyond the track.  It was only McRib catching up to the group on the track.  Good thing the mumblechatter was strong and he heard us through the gloom.

    Starting with SSH the mumblechatter was strong enough that everyone lost count discussing Derrick Rose skipping out on a game last week.  Not going to happen with this Rosie on the Q.  With the cold and ice last week there was minimal running being done at the AOs that YHC visited so the goal for today was to change that up.  The consensus was that 10 and 20 monkey humpers are ok but rounds of 30 and 40 with a run afterward makes the legs a little weak.  Also needed to add some bear crawls in since Honeymoon doesn’t get much of that in NC.  The only way to get better is to do more of it, which is why YHC wanted to throw a few pull ups in.  YHC told the PAX if there was time we would find a dry spot at the end, they crushed it and we found that spot so everyone could make the imprint of their shirt on the dry sidewalk.  Splinter’s Punisher logo was impressive.

    Curiosity about the rumors of a F3RVA podcast consumed discussion after the workout, that and eager anticipation of the CSAUP.

    No announcements of note beyond the CSAUP.

    Great work today men, appreciate the opportunity to step in front to lead this morning.

  • Rainy Rope-a-dope

    A 43 degree heavy rain could not keep 6 of the faithful at NoToll in the fartsack this morning.  A fine example of the draw of F3, you just know someone else will be there with you to share in the delight of whatever the gloom decides to throw at you.

    Mosey to the soccer pavilion for COP –

    25xSSH, 20xIW, 10xHand Release Merkins, 20xFlutter Kicks

    Grab a bench for a couple rounds of fun.

    10x Single Leg Squats on the bench – Bear Crawl to next bench CCW, 20xDerkins – BC to next bench, 30xDips – BC to next bench, 40x LBC  Complete 2 rounds to balance out the single leg squats.

    Mosey to the parking lot for a Pyramid of Fun.

    Complete 2/3/4 – Burpees/Imperial Squat Walkers/Box Cutters at first corner, run to next and complete 4/6/8, next corner 6/9/12, next corner 8/12/16, back to the start for 10/15/20.  Plank for the 6. Mosey to the middle of the parking lot for the top of the pyramid 20/30/40.  Lap around the parking lot together.

    Sprint from the end of the lot to the gate, pause for the 6, under the gate, Sprint to the basketball courts.

    Partner Suicides.  P1 – Suicide, P2 – LBCs  Round 2 P2 – Merkins

    Mary – Dollies x20, Freddie Mercury x15, LBCx25

    COT and YHC took us out.

    NMM

    The rain was pounding this morning when the alarm went off and YHC was wondering just how many PAX would show for a second cool rainy morning in a row.  The PAX stayed in their vehicles until right before 0530 just to stay dry for a little longer.  YHC threw a little rope-a-dope at the PAX by heading straight to the pavilion for COP and the first round of exercises.  Singer wondered whether this was where we would stay, ala Gumbo at RiverRun, but YHC wouldn’t divulge the plan (mainly since it was mostly on the fly).  It was even enough for DK to briefly shed his raincoat.  TYA said it is best to just get it over with and drop the PAX into the cold/wet early when it comes to rainy days but YHC had another idea.  Let them warm up and then introduce the rain.  The rain picked up again just in time for the Pyramid.  DK had a little trouble with the math and the geometry but what else do you expect from a private school education.  Build the base first, 4 sides.  Gumbo and Flipper noted their body types are built for the base, not the top of the pyramid.  The top was a lot of work and everyone crushed it.  There was not a spot without a deep puddle for the 4th round so the PAX soaked up some of the water headed for the fields.  Tclaps to Wheelbarrow for posting the last 2 days in the wet gloom to start the year, great job, that is not easy.

    Announcements:

    CSAUP January 21.  Long Range forecast was pondered…

    3rd F option of a dinner at the Doorways was opened up to gauge interest and support.

    HoneyDo posted some 2017 goals in his BB from yesterday and some of the PAX followed suit.  Feel free to post your own for accountability.   Reminder Toga is like Charles Barkley, he is bald and is not a role model.

    I hope everyone has dried off and has a great day.  See you in the gloom.

  • This seems familiar

    12 of the faithful avoided punching the snooze button one too many times and arose from the fartsack to join YHC in a recap of a Christmas song themed beatdown.

    Warmarama:  12 x SSH IC, 12 x Imperial Walkers IC,  12 x Don Quixote IC

    Mosey to the pavilion to begin the 12 days of Christmas.  Just like the song, do the first exercise, then do the 2nd and 1st together, then do the 3rd, 2nd and 1st and continue through all 12 “days”.  The exercises were as follows:

    • 1 – Dozen LBCs
    • 2 Sprints across the field
    • 3 Diamond Merkins
    • 4 Imperial Squat Walkers
    • 5  Burpees

    • 12 Broad jump burpees

    Mosey to the basketball court for an Al Gore/Plank ring of fire with 2 rounds of 10 merkins each

    COT

    NMM:

    One year ago YHC had my VQ and came up with a theme to pack in the exercises.  Honeydo reminded YHC of that Q last week and the NoToll Q was open so the replay was on.  Hardywood reminded everyone that the 12 days of Christmas are actually after Christmas but we went ahead despite his protest because by that time most of us will be tired of hearing the songs.  This is the exact workout from last year with an additional ring of fire round at the end.  YHC appreciates Flatline helping out with the chorus of the song to keep things going.  Welcome to NoToll, Tobit, a coworker Offshore got out to F3 on a business trip to Nashville.  Apparently he is close to NoToll so hope to see you out again soon.

    Announcements:

    HDHH possible next week.  A few locations were discussed but nothing final.  Flashdance suggested we go to the place, near the thing with the beer that has a cool name.  If you can figure out where that is, I’ll meet you there.  If anyone wants to take the lead and suggest a place, feel free to post a pre-blast.

    3rd F potential in the near future at the Doorways or another venue.  If you have any charities or events let the PAX know and see if we can get some support.

    The Carpenter led a 3rd F meeting last week to develop some ideas for meetings and events, look for more info to come.

    As always, YHC appreciates the opportunity to step in front to lead this fine group of men.  Have a great day.

  • Sunrise at Stinkhill

    A cold, breezy morning greeted 11 faithful and 1 FNG at StinkHill for the last of the concentric launch for F3 Hampton Roads.   Discussions on temperature, quantity of clothing and YHC’s clown car occupied the PAX until 0700 and the fun began.

    Mosey across the street to the playground parking lot.  Begin with a disclaimer and right into the workout.

    • 20xSSH then 5 burpees
    • 10 Don Quixotes then 4 burpees
    • 15 Hillbillies then 3 burpees
    • 15 Imperial walkers then  2 burpees

    20 LBC the YHC asked Dreamliner to complete the pattern, Dreamliner is confused and calls for Merkins –  ask DK if he sniffed it out so DK calls one burpee but fortunately for the PAX, this is where the pattern ends, 10 burpees OYO

    Mosey down the path a bit and stop for Partner Chase – Partner 1 bear crawl,  Partner 2 – 10 merkins run to catch up, 3 times through.   Mosey around the trail stop for Partner Chase round 2, new partner – P1 lunge, P2 10 WWII sit ups run to catch up.

    Mosey to bars for a shortened versino of Cindy 5 pull ups (modified) 10 Merkins, 15 Squats – repeat for 6 minutes.

    Indian Run around the rest of the the lake trail, stop for Mary – Dollies, American hammers, something else?

    Mosey to a good spot on the hill so we don’t run into any other wayward workout groups.  Go halfway up the hill Bernie Sanders Style (backward) stop for clock merkins- 5 each at 12, 3, 6, 9, 7 and 12

    Mosey to the field at the bottom of the hill for Lindsay with Imperial Squat Walkers and World War II sit ups (30/10, 25/15, 20/20…)

    Mosey to the flags for a little more Mary, including Rosalitas, Crunchy Frogs, Superman and close out with a ring of fire, 10 merkins each

    COT

    Numberama, Namearama, Johnsonville took us out

    Announcements:

    • Weekday workout started in Hampton Roads – See Dreamliner
    • CSAUP event in Richmond, 1/21/17, details to follow, possible clown car from Hampton Roads

    NMM

    Great day to get on the road early and see these men of F3 Hampton Roads, the cold weather makes it tough to escape the fartsack and get FNGs out. We got to see a wonderful sunrise over the lake but I’m not sure if any of the PAX noticed since they were trying to crack the burpee code YHC was laying out.  Welcome The Custodian, briefly Arnie, until the 2nd F and we learned of his occupation while at Liberty U.  This was the 2nd trip for YHC and Jville to StinkHill and it was great to see some familiar faces and new ones as well with 21 FNGs over the past few weeks.

    Rosie’s slight upgrade from the family truckster had the PAX from F3 Richmond riding to the AO in style and comfort.  No need to be crammed into an actual clown car when the Vanna is available for use.

    YHC wanted to do 10 minutes of Cindy but with so much to do at the AO and without proper pull up bars we cut it short to get some other things in.  A couple other minor curveballs in what YHC wanted to do but we were able to pack a few other things in to fill the gaps.

    Excellent 2nd F where we learned:

    • Why The Custodian had to get a new name (originally Arnie in the COT)
    • We need to leave room for Jesus when hugging, The Custodian knows how much space that is
    • We realized Dreamliner sprints everywhere, including back to get coffee refills
    • Mater has some ideas for a Q if he can get his hands on a telephone pole and boat, I want to be there for that one just out of curiosity
    • DON’T PANIC if you have a fire in your trash can
    • Offshore can optimize anything with programming, including the number of cuts to make on the trim of a bathroom remodel.  I want to see his next Q fully optimized for a maximum beatdown, or he could just pass it off to Swirly and say do what he says.
    • Finally, F3 Hampton Roads is in good hands for growth with the men they have EHed so far. Good luck to you in the coming weeks, hope to see you soon.

    A pleasure to take the reigns this morning men.  Well done.

    Everything is coming up Rosie.

  • Dropping B.O.M.B.S.

    A wet and cool sunny and 70 morning greeted the 9 strong PAX that rolled into NoToll to see what YHC had in store for them.  Due to the rain we did not get onto the fields to imprint a SAAB-like beating on them and stayed in the parking lot to get some work done.

    COP

    SSHx25, Helicopter x15, Hillbillies x20, LBCx20

    Partner up for B.O.M.B.S. – 50 Burpees, 100 Overhead Claps, 150 Merkins, 200-Big Boy Situps (WWII), 250 Squats

    Mosey over to the fence for a triple check – Balls to the Wall, Pole Smokers, run across the lot and back.

    Mosey to the Basketball Court for Mary

    Boxcutters, Flutter Kicks, 1-leg APD, Crunchy Frogs

    Merkin Finisher – 15 IC

    COT and YHC took us out.

    NMM

    YHC signed up late yesterday afternoon to Q with no ideas until I scrolled through the list on the F3 site and found B.O.M.B.S. Having never done that before and always enjoying new things thought we would give it a whirl.  The PAX crushed it while enjoying some mumblechatter on the lap around the parking lot.  Flipper obviously carried Hardywood through the sets since they finished a lap ahead of everyone.

    Great to meet Wheelbarrow and see him out at NoToll.  Salad Cream continues post and gets laughs whenever it comes around to him in the COT.  DK found some Salad Cream at Fresh Market and may be willing to share with any PAX that are interested.

    DK confirmed that there are still 5 people left in his elimination pool which is impressive, no F3 guys remaining though.  A big change from last year when all but a few were knocked out after week 2.

    Last week of support for F3 Hampton Roads – I will be leading a crew of 6 down on Saturday.  Last minute EH is encouraged.

    Some potential 3rd F options coming up this month or the coming months as this is something a few in F3 Richmond have brought up recently and would like to be involved in.

  • The tree with the leaves

    17 of the faithful and 1 FNG circled around the flag and discussions were centered around the lack of a certain company wrapped truck.

    Today is International Men’s Day, in celebration of that YHC decided to do what typical F3 RVA men do and get after it early in the morning.  F3 is a group that embodies what the day is about,  providing support, encouragement and leadership among men.

    Welcome to FNG Spencer Monroe,  now Coyote Ugly, a friend of Gumbo and I from a previous life.  According to him he almost splashed merlot but made it through and agrees that he is better for it.  Hopefully we’ll get him back soon. 

    YHC threw out some instructions at the Rusty Cage that confused everyone, including YHC.  Unfortunately Fudd wasn’t there to clarify.  Run to the fire hydrant,  it’s dark, where is that?  By the tree with the leaves…in the middle of the stuff, with the bark and limbs.  Luckily some of the regulars were there to translate.  You against you, even when giving out instructions.

    Cliffhanger made another showing after YHC bribed him with bacon at ET and he did more merkins than he ever has before.  Flipper led the PAX down the amphitheater derkins after the box jumps wasted most everyone else except Helix who bounced up the steps like a blue ball.  Fudd posted after running to the AO, which is always impressive and makes us wonder, is he the next SAAB?  Fun at ET afterwards as always where we discussed naming and tried to explain to Cliffhanger how they made a movie about Coyote Ugly.  Glad TwoCan could join us for his first venture to ET, I think the lure of the 2nd F and eggs will bring him back.

    Great work pushing through by everyone.  

    Everything is coming up Rosie.
