After a brisk jog around the bus circle, at the foot of Mount Chaplain, a surprise awaited — a stash of pavers hidden behind a bush, courtesy of DTH, who apparently moonlights as the Easter Bunny of concrete. From that moment on, the stones became our best friends. They got lifted, rolled, dragged, pressed, and cursed at. If you were here, you carried rocks. If you weren’t here, your shoulders thank you. Warmerama: side straddle hops, don quixotes, Ukrainian soldiers, imperial walkers. lbcs, merkins, roscoe’s mom, Fudds wife, Wilson’s wife The Thang: COP 1: DORA- partner one Bernie’s up the…
The Crossing welcomed a 6-pack of hungry HIM’s, including one FNG State Trooper, who is also a recent new member of the DTH spiritual family. Here’s how we showed Reacher the F3 beatdown ropes: The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey laps around the Annex Lot, second lap including variable movement warmups and finished with Burpee Broad jumps Circle up on the grassy knoll, beside the SF Welcome & Disclaimer Warm-up Reps IC Welcome to LIFO Figo halfway through COP #1: Mosey over the some parking spaces for ELEVENS, maybe 7 parking spaces distance WWII’s 1–>10 Bear Crawl across spaces No Cheat Merkins…
Seven of F3RVAs finest met at the usual spot before embarking on a tour of the local surroundings—Stony Point & Larus Park to be exact. No coupons this time round, just 3 miles under packs with some banter to lighten the load. Thanks for the company gents. Continuing discussion on the birth of Western civilization was limited given the concurrent reading load and back to school demands of life. Till the next time. SYITG Announcements: Labor Day convergenceUpcoming CSAUP opportunity on 9/26 to ruck and bootcamp: details forthcoming. Probably something like a 30 minute beatdown that will start Friday night…
Three insomniacs arose at 0430 to stretch, bend, review Netflix shows, and imagine a steeple growing from Handshake’s ass. Maneuvers included Good Mornings Dead Man Hang Wilson’s Wife Fudd’s Wife Cat Cow Warrior 1, 2, 3, and 4? Whooping Crane Bat Signal Child’s Pose Ball Lickers Pigeon Inverted Superman Gorilla Press Figure 4 Cobra Clutch Tombstone Piledriver Airplane Spin Savasana Numberama, Nameorama, COT MOLESKIN Until further notice, Broga is on at FW when temps are above 40 or until the PAX has a better offer because their Ms watched The Hunting Wives. All the troubles, stresses, and problems of the…
Noted. YHC did not know until minute 41 that there was a stash of cindies hidden. Oh well, this PAX of 11 did not need them in the gloom today. 0530 and we were off on a warm up jog just to find out the field was a touch sloppy. F3 Mission Statement, 5 core values, cherry pickers, SSH, arm circles Don Quixote. To kick off the beatdown, we started with 5 Navy SEAL burpees. From there the PAX went on an almost 2.5 mile scenic tour of Harper Mills. Within that 2.5 miles, the PAX performed, 100 LBCs 90…
7 Normal PAX and 1 fan of the team we shall not speak its name posted for a misty but pleasant 70 but sunny beatdown. Mosey to the circle for some stretches and a few merkins, a few LBC’s, some Ukrainian soldiers and some SSH’s Mosey to the amphitheater and partner up. Partner 1 LBC’s, Partner 2 runs the perimeter X3 second round American Hammers, third round Scrunchy Frog Repeto with different partner (Oyster chose the wrong group to run with) Partner 1 squats, partner 2 run, second round LT Dans, third round ??? Mosey up to the top partner…
We ran through the Wellesley tunnel to the courts and did two rounds of 25 merkins, squats, WW2 and dips with 2 burpees between each exercise (20 total). Then Roger Roger led us the long way home. We did 4 miles (min) and went almost ten minutes over. Long way added about 0.8 miles—oops. Extra credit for everyone and ten demerits for me as Q.
3 men posted on a drizzling morning to throw some iron around. Perfect numbers for triple checks so that’s what the pax did. Mosey around parking lot then some COP. Triple checks all around: Round 1 – squats, demon crushers, mountain climbers (timer) Round 2 – club swing right hand, club swing left hand, rosalitas (timer) Round 3 – kb swings, curls, mosey around parking lot (timer) Some boat canoes and GRAMS to close out. Numbers, names, Surf n Turf took us out.
5:30 AM, lace up the running shoe straps and off YHC went into the gloom. Winterfield -> Salisbury route and around the school for 3.75 miles. Passed a good number of people out this morning through the mist but no signs of F3 garb. Maybe the Homegrown Half wore em down. -Singer
7 early risers posted to FW for some Gumbo and it got loungey. Little counting, lot’s of mumblechatter. Topics ranged from F3 photo shoots to binge-worthy Netflix series, to political statements that may come out of the Florida truck tragedy that we all expected must be on Ronnie’s docket. We solved all the world’s problems. But today was also a celebration of heavenly birthdays for YHC’s dad and, as it turns out, Ronnie’s mom. Happy birthday to two wonderful people we wish were still with us and who, oddly, both passed away far too early in 2012. Phil Goldman would…
