Due to some travel with some PAX and the desire to keep moving, a few decided to power walk at Satan’s Hill. Got in 3 miles. Nice job fellas.
Aisle 5 is moving and has a host of great stories to share on next OTB walk. He is out in Buffalo for a few, but looks forward to returning.
Looking forward to hearing how Cooper loved his birthday gift of seeing Dude Perfect LIVE!
Travel safely brothers!
To say I have been blessed to be a part of F3 RVA is an understatement. Thank you ALL for the many years of dealing with YHC! I know I can be a handful!
And so the adventure begins..! For those who travelled, you missed a Wilson Q. Maybe only 3 or 4 more in my whole entire lifetime.
YHC’s plan looked amazing on paper. There may have been an audible or two.
Here was the plan.
Mosey and grab coupons. Head to main stage. Yup. Those vets know. A Wilson stage workout was about to begin. Set the speaker up and perform the following exercises during each song. Small print rules to follow. LBC, Wall Sit (w/Coupon), Poor Randy, Curls (w/Coupon), SSH, Wilson’s WIfe, Fudds Wife, Jump Squats, 6 inches, Carolina Dry Dock. One change was to run around ampitheater in between each song.
The rules were set at beginning. Share a story, get a prize, commercials give burpees and there wer some others but who really reads fine print.
Return blocks head to flag for dealers choice mary to finish. YHC took us out.
Runners ran ~6 miles according to second F on patio. While walkers dont worry about distance, just how long the stride is. Some great conversations today. Started and finished with the same conversation………..yup, it actually happened. Bigger question is how high can Aisle 5 take his knobby tire Subaru. In truth, doesn’t matter cause Nancy is going to get a lift for him and install a ladder for him to get in/out. If he were a Vette guy, he would be able to lower on factory bolts (saving Nancy a ton of $$). He should swing by New Market in two Saturdays as Wilson is lowering the C5. Plenty of cuss words and beer will be flowing. Gumbo is lobbying his boy to be a pro golfer based on the average height of golfers he observed at the Masters. More to come………..
Have a great Sunday fellas and it was great to see more coming out as it warms up.
Thirteen fine men showed up to Dog Pile to see what was in store for them. With a bit of pre-mumble chatter on Slack the night before, YHC knew it MUST be epic.
According to the White Tesla here is how it went down………..or something like it.
Mosey to ampetheater for COP – did multiple exercises with the highlight being Nancy Lopez demonstrating the enthusiasm needed to correctly execute Jazzercise!
Time for a dora. A MEGA DORA (said in a loud booming echoing voice). 200 WWII, 400 Dry Docks, 600 squats. Runner runs around the top of ampitheater. Yes Recall – those stairs suck!
Mosy to love/hate hill. Stopped mid way to do another mini Dora on stone steps. Did some form of that until YHC had enough, called an audible and headed to the Ampitheater for a ring of Mary.
Back to the flag. With only three minutes left YHC decided to play duck, duck, goose. What we learned during duck, duck goose. Nancy Lopez put the D2 partial scholarship to good use and was the only chaser to catch. I mean like lightning fast! YHC got a tad intense and decided to just go ahead and fall (if I only had cleats) and Bone Thugs is also lightning fast!
Respect to Recall being the ONLY PAX doing breakfast club run.
YHC took us out. Please remember to hold your loved ones close! Life happens fast!
It was a typical morning pre-workout. Either white lightning or grey Hyundai were speeding to scoop up the PAX and on que a passenger asks “Who is Q?” Nancy Lopez said “some dude named Toga.” YHC perked up and was thankful he brought a towel, as a visit from the legend we know as Toga would not only whip us into shape, but require a towel at the end. But to YHC dissapointment, it would appear some ASSHAT put Togas name down on the sheetor we have named someone Toga (if that is the case – I submit a petition to rename). Oh well – at least I got to engage with him on text. Good to chat with the old fella.
The three of us looked at each other and decided to get out of the car. Colder than normal, rain, wind AND not another PAX to be found except the three most weather concious PAX out of NM! We were here and in honor of a mention of Toga we were off. Did a hot potato and got in a good sweat! Not nearly as dirty as if Toga was here.
YHC needed to make up some ground as I bailed on Nancy Lopez yesterday, so walking in any condition was gonna happen. Walk was great and company was even better. I always enjoy our robust conversations! YHC still loves all the PAX even though we do NOT agree on just about everything we discussed on the second half of the walk. You will need to show up to know the topic.
So, today is the Super Bowl………..well who gives a care about the game, the attention has turned to the commercials. Enjoy the video as I went down a major rabbit hole watching videos this morning.
Aisle 5 and YHC decided to break the fartsack and pick back up and start the walking again. Snow? What snow…………PLEASE we are both from Buffalo. This is merely a dusting! SO we walked 2.68 miles in 55 minutes (noone said fast).
WHile a bit chilly, it was great to catch up. As directed, we moseyed by the fellow who hails from Cleveland and we found the fartsack held tight! LOL
Have a great wintery day!
Eight strong men from all over the metro RVA area made their way to Satan’s Hill located in New Market for the New Year Convergence. YHC gets why the turnout was so low. The incredible challenge and skill level to takle Satan’s Hill isnt for everyone. Fortunately for todays PAX, we would visit the hill only once. Please come back as Satan’s Hill is used often!
Here is how it went down.
Short COP, make way up Satan’s Hill for the popular Cul De Sack Tour. YHC has struggled to get EVERY one covered in 45 minutes, but with an hour today, YHC took on the challenge.
At the top of every Sack – 3 burpees then called out exercise at top and bottom. ALL twelve sacks were visited today! Each PAX called out an exercise with only a small bit of confusion when we got to the twins. Show up and you will find out what the twins are. In total ~36 burpees, ~240 exercises and 4.1 miles covered. Great job men!
Back to the flag for some Mary and a brief explanation of what F3 has meant for you this crazy year! Was great to hear!
YHC took us out! Special message was hold your loved ones tight. Life happens in a blink of an eye. I am truly thankful for ALL F3 PAX that I have relationships with and looking forward to building relationships with the new PAX!
Why the video? DTH and I had a quick conversation yesterday concerning Cooper. And while I love Cooper, I imagined him meeting a few of New Markets residents. This was how i imagined the meet & greets to happen. LOL Hopefully DTH will bring Cooper out to an early morning workout when most of NM pups are still sleeping.
YHC is honored to be around the six men who came out today to put in the work. If they were looking for running, today was not the day.
Here is how it went down. Give or take a few details.
COP, Everyone involved today calling out exercises. YHC created order and off we went…………not far.
Parking lot tracers (I guess) PAX member calls out exercise and way to get to other side. Number of each on pavement. On to doors. Same order different numbers and off we went. Got a bit mixed up on order and a bit of controvversy on policy for double doors. Back to flag for a bit of mary.
Sorry Honeymoon, but can’t remember all called out exercises, but you knew that.
OC took us out.
Ok – so the video is just a representation of when we all got along (Kinda) as a society. For those who have no idea what We Are The World was………well you missed out. Enjoy!
Three regulars showed up to OTB for a chilly walk. We waited briefly for Nancy, but alas, the fartsack held Nancy tight.
Aisle 5 was sharing a surprise big order that came in for Wal-Mart who will be purchasing his Variable Frequency Drives (VFD). And the story began……….cows eat grass, provide the milk to farmers, gets pasturized………………..and so on. Finally got to what the heck the drive is. OC of course knew what a VFD was and they went into geek talk until YHC chimed in and got geek shamed! Great story and Aisle 5 was a good sport with our interruptions. You should ask him, again, great story. Just watch the attached riveting video and you will get the drift.
Oh, back to the milk. We also learned Wal-Mart has a dry storage, cooler (for milk, produce……) and a freezer. The product (milk in this story) gets to the cooler on a DUAL rail crane. Please do not confuse with a SINGLE rail. It just doesnt work the same. His VFD helps deliver to appropriate storage facility.
Super happy he got the order and that he knows what the hell the VFD is and how it works. Join us next Sunday for his mobile PowerPoint (broadcasted on street as we walk) on something else that we have no idea what it is, but I am sure we will start at the beginning….”In the beginning God created the heavens and earth.”
Prayers to family members we spoke about also today.
