A Merry Eight, or 7.5 with Fudd’s early departure, kept the Dogpile flame going. A convoy of Pax came in with minutes to spare and we promptly departed on time. Taking a back ways to the first circle, we formed a smaller intimate arrangement for COP to stay dry a little longer. COP was a bit of the usual plus some light yoga. Off we went to the Rusty Cage for some Dora. Partner 1 – Run to the fire hydrant and perform 15 V-Ups. Partner 2 – 100 pull-ups/assisted pull-ups on the low bars, 200 box cutters, 300 shoulder…

It has been five years in the making to get to this point, and YHC was so honored to see the 14 studs turnout, even a few that read the weather report wrong. We had everything from full pants to no pants, and everything in between. The deal still stood – if you bring a FNG YHC will take you and your FNG out to breakfast at Libbie Market – no FNGs were spotted today. Warmup We started with a reminder about the mission of F3 then it was off to do some much overlooked and needed stretching. Then 25…

11 Bootcampers and 2 Walkers met for what was believed for many to be Faceplants Dogpile VQ (5 years in the making) but they were delighted when it was realized it was a Handshake Q. Mosey over to the Treeline between the 2nd Roundabout and the Hey Penny Stage for a quick COP Mosey to the street just past the far side of the sunken field. 3 Burpees at every light on the left side of the street to the corner at the dog leg by the Tennis Courts (10 lightpoles total).

7 wily F3 veterans disposed of the lure of The Fartsack and challenged themselves to meet the new day at the latest edition of The Dogpile. Temperatures remained 70 and sunny. According to the lone runner trotting through the parking lot, the following may have happened: 06:00 – Start with a slow mosey around the Dogpile parking lot, first heading south towards the River, then, accepting feedback from EF Hutton, the Q turned right / west away from the cool breezes likely to be found crossing the bridge. Two more rights had the group on the grass adjacent to our…

Seven men materialized from the gloom looking for a personal challenge and hoping it would involve lots of bear crawls.
