As the pax arrived in the gloom and began to gather- loud barking erupted from the woods  as Last Time and Ice Dancer were getting out of their vehicles.. What looked like to be wild dogs must have been tied up to a tree because they did not give chase thankfully… That certainly got everyone’s heart pumping though…. A beautiful morning at Forest Hill Park and a great way to start the week. The pax pushed hard with little mumble chatter and no breaks cause this is a Swirly Q :).. Toga played official time keeper this morning and tried to fool YHC during the triple check so we could cut it short but thought better of it knowing deep down that once YHC saw that we indeed did have more time – it would get a lot worse and all hell would break loose – wise choice Toga! Great to have Ice Dancer join us again we have not seen him in awhile – come on  back anytime man..

If you have not made it out to Batteua @ Forest Hill park yet I would highly encourage you to do so – what a beautiful AO – much like Dogpile.. Three workout’s to choose from tomorrow so hit one – you will be glad you did!!

A pleasure to lead this morning fella’s – see y’all in the gloom.

Announcements : Spartan Race – interested see Toga. – Reminder we have an F3RVA Linkedin page – get connected if you are not already. BRR – 73 days and counting !!

12 men showed up for this very special V x 2 post. This was the first AO for Batteau and the first Q for YHC.

COP: 25 SSH, 25 LBC, 20 Merkin, 20 DKB

Mosey over to one of Forest Hill Park’s namesake features for a little Monday fun. The Thang:

Valley of Doubt – Modified Jacob’s Ladder with 1 merkin top of the hill, run down the valley, 1dip, run up the next hill, 2 merkin, back down the valley 2 dips, repeat to 10.

Triton’s Revenge – Complete a loop around the pond. Perform a burpee at lamp post and add one at each lamp post. 1 burpee at post 1, 2 burpees at post 2, 3 burpee at post 3, etc. to completion for all 10 posts.

Head slightly down Reedy Creek and pair up. One partner squats with a rock of success and the other partner runs to top of hill and completes 10 merkins and 20 two count American Hammers, then switch for 6 rounds.

Run back to flag up a hill to be named later to close out the morning.  The names uttered for this hill on the return run would make this post NSFW.

Numberama, namearama, COT and Swirly took us out.

NMS – It perfect weather for this initial AO and for a first Q. The morning felt much like the first day of school for a first year teacher. Pretty excited, a little nervous and hoping for no revolt. Much to my surprise the cars kept coming and a solid crew formed. The cart led the horse a few moments during the morning, but with the gracious guidance of the veteran Pax, they helped YHC stay on track.

We welcomed one FNG (Noodler) who clearly has a great level of fitness. He, Last Chance and Fudd dominated the hills, as there were many this morning.

The story of the flag that graces my shovel was shared. It was sent to me by a after being flown by the 37th Expeditionary Aircraft Maintenance Unity on a B-1B in Syria and Iraq in Operation Inherent Resolve. I had been saving it for something more meaningful than just putting it in a frame. Perhaps like men of a certain age, I did not want it to just collect dust and be forgotten about. It is with the greatest pride I share it and this morning with the Pax. Thank you gentlemen.

Reminder -Tuesday we are going for gold. The old pax record of 43 will be smashed and we will hit 60 total pax across 3 AOs by whatever means necessary.  Text, call, email your brothers.  If you have to send an invite via a carrier pigeon, make it happen.

Dominate your Monday.
