YHC posted to Urban Assault in Winston Salem on 8/19. Super pumped to pick the day they attacked the hills of downtown. Backblast posted on F3WinstonSalem.com is below:
Date: 8/19/22
PAX: Fudd (from Richmond), Wobegon, Crash, Gretel, Lamb Chop(!), Spicoli, Post Hole, Greenspan
Warmrama:
SSHs, Leg Stretches, Whirlies, Abe Vigodas, Cherry Pies, Let’s Go!
The Thang:
Mosey up to 6th Street where our hilly journey was clarified. We would mosey west on 6th Street, stopping at each red light for an IPC-lite exercise. Stops along the way yielded:
Lamb Chop exercised his mouth along the way, petitioning a turnaround as he apprehended where we were headed. After a bit farther mosey down Pilot View, YHC acquiesced and we moseyed back towards home. Left on Jersey, and back up 4 ½ street, right on Along the way, we performed:
Upon arrival at home, the cup check:
Finished.
Announcements:
Prayer Requests:
NMM:
Great job, men. Everyone have a good weekend.
Post Hole, the keys are on Pilot View; they popped out with YHC’s phone.
12 guys gathered in the gloom for 45 minutes of Marian joy. Here’s what went down after a mosey around the school campus:
COP in the field: standard stuff.
Big Bang: Plank in a circle, shoulder to shoulder, with a headlamp at the center. On the YHC’s command, the pax EXPLOSIVELY jumps up from plank position, runs 10 paces, performs 10 burpees, then runs back to the circle to plank position // Next Round: 20 paces, 20 Jump Squats // Round 3: 30 paces, 30 merkins // Round 4: 40 paces, 40 LBCs // Round 5: 50 paces, 50 SSHs. Back to plank position for Pickle pounders IC.
Dora on the Tennis Courts: 100 WW2s // 150 Merkins // 200 Squats. BONUS ROUND: 50 Burpees.
Triple Double Switcheroo: P1 runs to chin up bars and performs 5 pulls up or chin ups while P2 performs ab exercises. Switch. 3x.
COP: Classic Burpee Shuffle for 2 minutes
NMS: Sweater brought an FNG (Andy) but they had to roll out early. Hope Sweater’s back is ok and Andy comes back soon so we can name him. Awesome to see Trampstamp again and welcome Shiplap back after baby’s arrival- sorry brother to ask you an awkward question about your wife’s pain. No one wants to have to say the V word at 5:30am in a school parking lot with a bunch of dudes. Great group of guys and great mumble chatter. Always a privilege to lead.
A lucky PAX of 7 embraced the KB gloom for a beginning of school year beat-down. Here is how it went down:
YHC is making his week of Qs “Beast Week.” Wonder what is in store for Saturday at Gridiron…
Death crawls suck! Also, t-claps to Offshore for having a weight that matches his non-hate age.
Safe travels Pigskin! No trimming or shortening of the mustache while you are away.
Convergence on Monday at Dogpile at 7 am.
Good is good all of the time!

NINE SOJ Beasts took on a zero humidity, 62 degree day morning that was picture perfect for a beatdown. After some encouragement by the PAX the prior week about getting up and leading, YHC decided to get back on the Q sheet. According to the substitute teacher walking in the side door, here is how it went down.
COP:
Mosey to the large parking lot out front. SSH, Imp Walkers, Ukrainian soldiers, Arm Circles, Dead man hang (C,R,L), some more stretching on the six (very much needed after DTH running Q the day prior), LBC, Freddie Mercury, H2H.
The Thang:
On the far parking lot line. Bear Crawl progressions with Merkins at each line. Start with 1 bear crawl to next parking line, 2, BC to 3 and so on until the end of the parking lot. Do the same back down the parking lot with crab walk and WW2s.
Mosey to the benches for a triple check. Runner to the last light pole in parking lot. Partners 2 & 3 do incline merkins and dips x 3. 3 HIMS had a false start so we celebrated their eagerness with 3 burpees.
Mosey to school entrance to attack the hill for slow 11’s. Start at the bottom of the hill with jump squats, and hand release merkins at the top. Wait for the six back at the bottom and we head up the hill in different fashion each time starting with a Bernie, karoake L then R, lunge, and bear crawl. Repeato, instead substitute a broad jump for a bear crawl on the last rep. Mosey to the flag, quick stretch, and time.
COT: YHC took us out.
Announcements – Reminder of convergence at Dogpile on Monday. Reminder to encourage your brothers to lead if that is their thing, to show up at a minimum and encourage each other. Thanks for the encouragement by the PAX to get back on the Q sheet. Prayers to Rosie’s friend Jeff’s family who unexpectedly passed away last week. Prayers to all of our brothers on IR for healing hands. Prayers to all of our brothers to get back up, get back out, and have a positive impact for each other and our communities.
Thanks for all that you do gents. Appreciate you all as always.

3 men showed up for a hot potato Q at Manndate.
COP
All kinds of KB triple checks
Five hardened veterans showed up to WDog for the elusive BT beatdown. While Coffee Chat concluded last week, there was still plenty of gloom and pain to be had. Here’s how it went down:
COP:
Mosey to the circle at the top of the amphitheater for Helicopters, Abe Vigodas, Dead Man’s Hang, Copperhead Squats, Merkins and some stretching.
The Thang:
Mosey to the Penny Stage to grab some of the remaining coupons. Circle up for a little end of summer muscle beating.
Complete 3 sets in cadence (1st set was 2-count), replace coupons, then onto the hill where all the construction equipment lives. Split in 2 groups for the Dora (100 WW2’s, 200 2-count Flutterkicks, 300 LBCs). Timer runs to the bottom of the hill and back. Plank for the 6.
Mosey to the Amphitheater for Ascending Dips (1-18). Plank at top for the 6. Quick jog around the loop and BTTF.
COT: BT took us out.
Announcements: Labor Day Convergence at DogPile, F3RVA Anniversary at Gridiron, Sit and Sip and Beer Mile (see Faceplant) all coming up.
NMS: YHC needed less running and more boot camp leading up to the BRR, so a Q was in order. For the most part, mumble chatter was respectful. Some regulars were/are missed but we know they will be back in short order. Faceplant was happy with the Abe Vigoda cadence which made the Q happy. YHC had to share a story about his 14 yo (F3 Rocky Top) who has been delighted in his new-found albeit slender musculature and has not been afraid to parade around the house showing it off. Oh to be young again, but I wouldn’t trade it for the aches and pains shared by all of us in the gloom. Fall is here and the hours are getting short, so make the most of every one of them! BT out!
Opus and Corned Beef ran 1 mile with 5 minute walk intervals for a total of 3 miles through Giles development and returning via DeWitt and the bridge over the tracks to Atlee HS parking lot.
No Idea logged 4 miles with Ruck.
Numberama / Namerama, YHC took us out.

14 studs posted to SOT for a Tryhard Running Bootcamp. Some were happier about then others, but everyone got a good sweat and did stuff they’d have never done alone.
The THANG:

Announcements:
Prayer Request: Rosie shared a prayer request for a family who suddenly lost a husband/father named Jeff, who died in his sleep. He has a kid entering freshman year of high school. If this doesn’t break your heart and cause you to hold your loved ones close, not sure what would. Not one of us is guaranteed tomorrow, so I hope you’ll be challenged to ask yourself the “What What” – “What happens to me and my loved ones when I die?”, and “What does that change about how I’m living my life today?”
