After some back and forth last night over whether Doozy was going to relinquish the Q and hit RAMM or stay on the Southside for TwinTeam YHC took the Q. Ultimately the planned start time was a little early With no plan for the morning, except stay off the wet grass, and 3 hard charging F3 men in tow, we headed off into the gloom.
A brief mosey to the JRHS main parking lot for a standard warm up. Stay in the lot to use the light poles for a few things. First touch a pole – partner up for 4-3-2-1 light pole touches with partner doing plank, squats, HRM, and Freddie Mercuries. Mosey to the light pole in northwest corner of the lot for 11s – merkins and Monkey humpers at each pole, finish at the track entrance. One lap for mumblechatter and come up with the next thing – BLIMPS on the track. – Mosey on back with a stop for ROF and some Mary to close it out.
It was a nice cool morning for a beatdown and we were able to avoid most of the pollen streaks created by the rain. Thanks for joining me
Anyone up for Rock and Roll with Chaplain tomorrow will be in for minimal running, I see a ground and pound in your future.
A guy in the neighborhood grabbed the dog and a headlamp and went for a run to see/smell a White Deer, but instead witnessed:
COP: SSHs, IWs, DQs, Merkins, Freddie Mercuries IC
With a 6 PAX, the perfect number, a series of Triple Checks were executed to maximize the mumble chatter. Instead of teams of three, PAX split into pairs and completed exercises in pairs, re-shuffling pairs each time.
Mosey to the courtyard for: Weighted Left Leg Step Ups, Weighted Right Leg Step Ups, Hallelujah Carry around the tree. The Q was wiped out after this and called for a 10 count in desperation.
Mosey to the curb for: Bench Press, Tricep Extension, run to the end of the bus loop and back. Another ten count required for the Q, but got a zehn count instead.
Mosey to the picnic tables for: Sit and Press, American Hammers, run to the end of the bus loop and back. Yet another 10 count.
Mosey to the end for the bus loop for: Left Arm Lawnmowers, Right Arm Lawnmowers, run to the parking sign and back. Another 10 count.
Mosey back to the flag for Curls, Flutter Presses, and Helicopters IC.
Announcements: from Whitesnake: RVA Bluegrass Jam benefiting the Fisher House April 30th: https://rvabluegrassjam.com, from Pigskin: Blood Drive at Epiphany Lutheran June 4th – you can sign up now
NMS: Let it be known – the picnic tables in the courtyard are higher than standard and therefore brutal for Step Ups, much less Weighted Step Ups. Qdrenaline could not even sustain YHC. YHC was inspired by Corned Beef’s Monday beatdown with no counting and lots of mumble chatter. It was easy to remember because YHC is still sore from Monday. The PAX put in excellent work today. Thanks for tolerating an Offshore Q. SYITG!
11 men gathered for the unknown. Slaughter Start with 14 Burpees set the pace for what was coming.
YHC cant remember all the things we did, it was a hodge podge or partner work, triple checks, etc with a 10 Burpee timer going off every 5 minutes.
Announcements – Bone Thugs Tax Day run tomorrow at RAAM. Currahee is cancelled. Also, congrats to Bone Thugs on the new job.
Prayer Requests – Tryhard’s sister and family as well as Lab Rat as they go through Cancer treatments.
NMS – we lost my maternal Grandmother this week, she was 94 years old. She moved up to Richmond 11 years ago when she started falling. She was a fiercely independent person who treated moving from the home she loved to an assisted living facility and in a wheelchair with such grace. The 94 Burpees were for her.
Go forth today and love your family and friends and enjoy the beauty of the Spring.
Mosey to light pole alley via the bus lot Lunges, butt kickers, high knees, Karaokes mosey to the track
Using the 25, 50 and 25 yard lines do 6 of said exercise turn around at the goal line and repeto on the way back. Exercises where Merkins, Hello Dollies, Squats, American Hammers, Prisoner of Wars and Burpees
Mosey back to light pole alley at the third light pole Big Boy Skip around to the gate
Mosey walk with hands in the air to the bus lot stretch out the arms with some arm circle OYO, single file bus lot tracers while doing a raise the roof.
Mosey to the front lot circle up for some Man Killers (YHC started in cadence on accident) switch to regular count starting at 8 and working down to 1. Much to Nancy Lopez’s dismay, he really wanted to stay in cadence for the entire Man Killer set.
BTTF Florence led some Not so Lazy Boys and we did a few WWII and some stretches to get our moneys worth.
Numbers / Names Florence took us out
NMS: Oyster said that the beast was faster than usual. Oyster will need to come to Twin Team when YHC is Q and hear the continued saga of the Beast of Twin Team. The naming of this BB was difficult to decide due to the fact that during the Beast Nancy went down at the 50 yard line with a cramp in his hamstring like he was reliving his football days and faking an injury because the team has no time outs and the linemen are gassed. There was also some mumble chatter about getting Nancy and Parker into a Smart car (Provided by Kelly) tomorrow at satan’s Hill. Oyster did for the record say, he would personally push the car up the hill if both of them could fit in it.
YHC is getting back into the swing with F3RVA after a weeks Spring break of eating great food and visiting with family and friends in Jackson, MS and New Orleans! Second workout of the day so we had some good strength workout in the books for this workout. Here is what went down:
COP
Mosey to front yard of school and circle up for 20 SSH, 10 DQ’s…(tried to keep these slow as YHC was still alittle sore from the 1/2 Marathon on Saturday!), 10 Ukrainian Soldiers, 10 Imperial Walkers, 15 Arm Circles 10 small and 5 big, reverso, 10 4ct American Hammers, 10 LBC’s, 10 scorpions and 20 merkins.
THANG
So warm up complete, we mosey to the back soccer field and form up at the bench. With 5 in the Pax today YHC decides on a rotation workout. First Rotation Station 1 (P1) – runs lap around soccer field as the timer, P2 – dips on Bench, P3 – step ups, P4 – Incline merkins on bench, P5 – Decline merkins on Bench. P5 then runs lap and others rotate up to the next station until and we rotate until all stations have been performed by the PAX for a complete circuit. We did this circuit 2 more times.
As this was a twofer afternoon, YHC had the PAX pick out the exercises for Round 2, YHC chose the lap around the soccer field again(P1) as the Timer and we had (P2) lunges, (P3) flutter kicks, (P4) LBC’s and (P5) American Hammers. We did this the same as above and moseyed back to flag to finish the workout at 45 minutes.

5 Davillians including a FNG got in their first post Half Marathon run on Tuesday.
Marco Polo went out on his own route for a little 10k training route prep for Sunday
For the rest of the PAX, plan was to take it easy and run two laps around the school for a 3.5 mile run. Well the loops were completed but not at a slow pace. Our FNG Speakeasy (Craig) kept the pace moving.
YHC arrived surprised to see our FNC today. Speakeasy and YHC first meet back in our college years 15+ years ago. His girlfriend (now wife) at the time was a roommate of friend my YHC’s. YHC had spoke about F3 year go when Speakeasy was still living in the city. Thanks to a long delayed second EHing from Bulkhead we finally got him out
Speakeasy gets his time due to the fact he is a lawyer for the Virginia ABC
Welcome and look forward to him being a regular soon!
YHC went out as a lone wolf last Thursday before the half marathon on Saturday. Knowing there would be hills during the race did the Giles hill loop and back for a 5k
Eleven pollinators converged earlier than most this morning to enjoy the yellow coziness of Tuckahoe. According to the river walkers and bikers, here is what was rumored to have occurred in the morning darkness.
Mosey to Henrico’s smallest park for Warm Up that included SSH’s, Heli’s, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Planks (with calf stretches), Cherry Pickers, Dead Man Hang, Jazzercise and some other limbering up movements.
Mosey down South Ridge for Lindsay. Merkins and WWII’s were the call of the day, Brocode style stopping at every intersection to perform.
At the bottom of S. Ridge, turn around and partner up. Runner runs to Overlook and back while partner lunges. Switcharoo until everyone reaches Overlook. Slow mosey back to the parking lot with stops along the way to perform 30 monkey humpers and 30 flutters.
Back at the parking lot, collect a coupon for some Circle Block work. Timer is 30 curls, with everyone else performing a variety of block reliant exercises. Rotate clockwise for one rotation. Exercises included squat thrusts, bench press, squats, APD’s, LBC’s, swings, triceps, and some others that will go unmentioned.
Return the block to the pile and BTTF. 2 minutes of mary for some Heals to Heaven and Shavansena.
Numbers, Names, Announcements, Prayers, Bacon Bits took us out.
Prayers to DTH and his family along with Lab Rat.
NMS: Great mumble chatter this morning with Spring Break adventures. Seems like some First Watchers are becoming Citizens on Patrol, while others have poor timing on vacation planning. Great work this morning considering the yellow haze that was hanging in the air.

NMS:
Thought I would get a little creative with Easter this weekend and with the abundance of eggs YHC has for his nephews…why not have F3 get to have some fun with them first? YHC showed up early and hid the eggs around Dogwood Dell filled with some nice gifts. I think the PAX enjoyed this beatdown! Couldn’t go without doing some murder bunnies especially just for BT, who scheduled himself out of town knowing they were coming… Good to meet Cane Pole from NC as he was here for work! A lot of great mumblechatter throughout which makes the workout even better! If you want to give your kids a basket, give them a coupon instead… Thank you for letting me lead, make it a great day!
