  • Keep your distance and your feet moving!

    14 warriors posted for Dogpile this morning and here is how it went down.

    Mossy – Warm up : bunch of fun exercises to get the blood pumping and the body stretched out.

    Track Work : partner up keeping 6ft apart 🙂 run to the first obstacle – 5 merkins – next obstacle 5 LT. Dans all the way around the track – plank up when finished.

    Theatre : Dips ladder down 18-1 – incline merkin ladder back up 1-18

    Burpee Shuffle : run in place burpee calls each pax member.

    Mary : cross leg lifts, rosalitas , APD’s 6 inches – superman

    Mossy back to the flag!

    Excellent work this morning guys – thanks for allowing me to lead. Evidently there was some slack talk and possibly some concern over YHC having the dogpile Q under restrictions from the Governor. Hey no worries guys the Governor understands when your the Q it’s your call 🙂

    There is no question we have had to adapt and modify our workouts. YHC certainly misses the rusty cage and partnering up but we have all figured out how even without those things we can still get a helluva beatdown in.

    Remember to shoot DTH an email when you can. Gomer is taking the lead on starting another run on Friday’s in the west end Deep Run Park – see him for details. We are going to have one helluva 3rd F once this damn virus is behind us – stay tuned for that dudes 🙂

    I hope you all have a wonderful Easter even under the circumstances we each have a lot to be thankful for and as Gomer said when he took us out today – let’s remember that and step up and be that person that reaches out and helps his fellow man out. (Thanks for taking us out Gomer) . You know fellas the world is in desperate need of our leadership right now so let’s give it to them and make this world a better place .

    See y’all in the gloom.

  • “Good things come to those who wait….but only the things left by those who hustle.”

    You know those guys who get into a position of no real authority at all (think mall cops, meter maids, first time Q’s), and think the rules don’t apply to them?  Those guys disgust me. 

    As I write this extremely delinquent back blast, the thought has occurred to question F3’s intelligence as a whole to give this responsibility to guy they nicknamed Probation, but I digress.  This morning Handshake informed me there’s also a rumor circulating that Swirly can pick off a field mouse from 300 yards away with the right rifle and from that distance it’s hard to tell the difference between my head and a field mouse.   

    So 14 warriors showed up at Dogpile this past Saturday for a dual Q with Hitchhiker and YHC at the helm, and this is how it went down.

    First, Hitchhiker requested we number off, 1 & 2.  Hardywood requested we all brush up on our Korean so we continued with “Hana” (1) and “Dull” (2).  Hitchhiker took his Magnificent 7 and here’s the story as I heard it:

    First, they moseyed through the Bump House to get to the crop circle East of the Virginia War Memorial Carillon Tower for some warm-ups, about a mile run.

    The warm-ups were as follows:

    Arm circle x10 (both direction)

    DQ x10

    Helicopters x10

    American Hammers x20

    LBC x 20

    Merkins x10

    Second, polar bear crawl to intersection, 10 LBC at the intersection, run down the hill, 10 burpees, Bernie Sanders up the hill, and 10 merkins.  3 rounds.

    Third, they moseyed to the long field in front of the Carillon tower.  Then it was Dora with one partner run to the end of the field and back while the other partner was doing the following: WWII x100, American Hammers x 200 (2 counts), LBC x 300.

    Lastly, they moseyed to “mixing bowl” behind the Amphitheater. Total 11s. 10 burpees and 1 merkin on one side, run into and out of the mixing bowl to the other side, repeat the same exercise, and ran back to the other side, did 9 burpees and 2 merkins. Due to time, we ended up doing up to 8 burpees and 3 merkins.  At the beginning of the exercise, Bodos asked Hitchhiker, “Are you mad at us?” To which he responded “No! I was soooo happy to be outside and exercise with PAX in a gorgeous weather during the Stay-At-Home period.”

    They moseyed back to the flag.

    Probation’s Lucky 7’s:

    I took my crew of 7 hard charging heroes for warm-ups in the grass circle next to Caroline tower ( I know there’s probably a cooler term for that location I’ll be made aware of shortly). 

    Warm-up

    Being that this was my first Q, starting off strong was important.  In my mind we were to start with side straddle hops.  After sounding off, there was some confusion as to what I actually said.  The PAX insisted I said merkins, not side straddle hop, which was their excuse for all dropping to the merkin position while I remained standing.  Sensing the spirit of mutiny building, rather debating I apologized and moved on.  A potentially terrible situation was avoided and instead a symphony of sweat ensued that looked a little like this.

    Warm-Ups:

    15 side straddle hops

    15 Imperial Walkers

    15 3 count LBC’s

    15  Kimchi’s

    15 Merkins

    Thang 1

    Taking the field in front of Caroline Tower we did 7 rounds running up and back, doing 7 reps every 25 yards on the way up:

    7 Merkins

    7 Mountain Climbers

    7 Squats

    7  WWII’s

    Mosey to Fire Hydrant

    Thang 2

    Pairing up, partner one elbow planks at fire hydrant while other partner runs to pull bars and back, doing the following workout at the pull-up bars.  This was done for….wait for it……7 rounds:

    7 Pull-ups

    7 Squats

    Mosey to stone wall:

    Thang 3:

    Partnering up, 1st partner did donkey kicks while other did merkins.  Went for 4 rounds due to time.

    The entire PAX converged at the flag for Ring of Fire.  7 reps of the exercise of choice, we went through 13 exercises. 

    We had a FNG, Laughing Gas’s son, who was given the incredibly awesome name of Cobra Kai.  Welcome Cobra Kai.

    We ended with me using a website to randomly generate a bible verse for the group.  It was Matthew 6:34:  “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own.”  Bodos closed us out in a prayer.

  • Whoopie, Viagra and Social Distancing at DogPile

    YHC is always excited about a Dogpile Q and did some homework in anticipation of a large crowd and keeping our workout groups to 10 or less people, with 16 showing up for a nice cool morning for a workout this was going to be easy. YHC immediately had everyone number off 1,2 1,2(this took a couple of times as we kept going 1,2,3,4…you know it is F3 after all!) so we had 2 groups of 8! Awesome, ready for the fun to begin and here is how it went down:

    The THANG part 1

    Group 1 (Timer) went to the crop circle East of the Tower for some warmups (SSH, Russian Soldiers, DQ’s, LBC,s Alabama Prom Dates(it was still dark), merkins and helicopters. We started at the top with lunges to intersection, run down the hill, 20 LBC’s, bernie saunders up the hill and 20 merkins, repeat with Karaoke up the hill(switching half way, ) and third rotation with Bernie Saunders up the hill. This being completed we moseyed to long field at the tower to relieve Group 2

    Group 2(AMRAP) started at the long field with COP warm ups then did 4 corners around the entire field.

    Corner 1 – 10 burpees runs to Corner 2 for 20 merkins run to Corner 3 for 30 squats and run to Corner 4 for 40 2 ct flutter kicks. Rinse and repeat waiting on Group 1 to switch.

    We switched and Group 2 was at the Triangle and Group 1 long field at the tower. Group 1 had a lot of mumble chatter during this rotation hence the title of the BB, as we did not have ET’s to sit and catch up, this was great to joke around and get in some of the Fellowship F!

    The THANG Part 2

    With both groups completing the rotations we hand out the next cards with the following:

    Group 1(Timer) mosey to the bowl behind the Amphitheater for 11’s. Starting at the wall 10 donkey kicks, bottom of hill 5 merkins, top of the other side we did 1 2 count ball dippers(YHC said Bonnie Blairs and that started a discussion of how many speed skaters could we name…I think we got to 4). ran to bottom of hill 5 merkins, to wall, 9 donkey kicks. We got to 8 donkey kicks and 3 Ball dippers stopped so Group 2 can have some of this fun and moseyed to the cage to relieve Group 2.

    Group 2(AMRAP) mosey to cage and round 1 was 5 pull-ups, 10 merkins and 15 squats, round 2 was 5 Jerkins, 10 WW2 sit-ups and 15 2 count American Hammers. Back to round 1 then 2 if possible.

    Group 1 performed Round 1 and 2 at the cage and moseyed back to pick up Group 2 at the bowl to return to the flag.

    COT

    We return to the flag for namerama and numberama and announcements. The group took a knee and YHC took us out.

    Last Resort is a new AO on Mondays starting at 5:30am, had 6 F3 vets and no FNG’s, will keep going and hope to get some FNG’s as last week was a 40 degree rain morning.

    First watch is happening @ 5am on Wednesdays.

    Flipper is working on a Food drive between 10 and 3pm on Wednesday where they are collecting food for people in need. Flipper, please reply to the BB on the details.

    It is always an honor to lead gentlemen, Ether, thanks for your help this morning leading group 2. Have a great weekend! CB

  • Group Therapy

    2 groups of 7.5 warriors fought off the quarantinis and a mid beat down monsoon for the most fun one can have while properly spaced. Just as the ET runners touched down from their descent to the flag the clock struck go time and then properly spaced PAX were off.

    What a wonderful morning to shut the world off around us. Keep leaning in for the understanding.

    Enjoy the weekend!

  • Socially Distant Beatdown

    23 hand-washing, mask-wearing, self-quarantine-rs posted for our first social distancing beatdown of the Covid-19 era. Temps were sunny and 70. The pax did the following, more or less:

    Slaughter-ish Starter (all in-cadence, Lawrence Welk style):

    3 merkins

    11 SSHs

    19 flutter kicks

    3 merkins

    Happy birthday to Mr. Lawrence Welk, who would have been 117 this week. He taught YHC the art of calling cadence.

    Mosey to the Amphitheater for COP:

    SSHs x19

    IW’s x10

    DQ’s x10

    Helicopters x10

    Merkins x19

    LBC’s x19

    Something else x10

    Assemble on the Stage for Self-Quarantine (1 hour workout entirely on the stage).

    Correction: YHC remembered that Wilson does this every September.

    Ascending Medley

    Starting at the bottom, do 10 monkey humpers and 9 reverse crunches on each step.

    Early finishers hold decline merkin plank on the top step, mixing in assorted ups-and-downs

    Descending

    Partner up. Remain socially distant.

    Partner 1 runs down to bottom step, while

    Partner 2 performs (Not) Wilson’s Boxing Cockroach (do it solo!) at the top step.

    When partner 1 returns, swap places.

    Attempt to have each partner run to each step (18, then 17, then 16, etc).

    Speaking of Wilson (and, YHC thinks…Nancy Lopez) and Social Distancing, Wilson and NL showed up at the 06:30 a.m. point of the work out having been unable to find the PAX, who had been hiding in plain sight AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AMPHITHEATER.

    Early finishers hold decline merkin plank on the top step, mixing in assorted ups-and-downs.

    Mosey towards the Great Lawn, but stop short for…

    (Don’t You Dare) Touch-a-Tree:

    Somehow, Touch-a-Tree has become the most complicated of F3 rotations.

    To paraphrase Corporate, “How is this hard for people? You touch a tree.”

    YHC agrees.

    Remaining socially distant, form teams of 3.  

    Rounds of 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2 trees. As with any triple check, each man does all three parts. Exercises for rounds 10 and 8 were squats and flutter kicks

    Exercises for rounds 6 and 4 were something else and LBCs (who knows?)

    Exercises for round 2 were burpees and burpees.

    EF Hutton led the early finishers in some planking.

    Mosey to the Great Lawn for 4 Corners:

    Corner 1: Merkins x19

    Corner 2: Snow Angels x19

    Corner 3: Flutter Kicks x19

    Corner 4: SSHs

    When done, run it back in reverse.

    Short mosey to the front of the Carillon for some Mary

    Box cutters x19

    Rosalita’s x19

    Group Mosey BTTF (Handshake has only one speed)

    Number-am-a, Name-a-ram-a, YHC took us out.

    Announcements:

    Great to have Sippy back. He’s running a Go-Fund-Me to get a new front tooth. Pinterest is hosting a site with his options.  https://www.pinterest.com/cj5013/gold-teeth/

    Apparently, Bodo’s canceled God (or, at least, in person services) for his parish. (A small handful of) people are losing their minds. Given the circumstances, let’s all remember how challenging this unprecedented situation is.

    Let’s keep all of our friends, neighbors, and colleagues struggling with how to deal with Covid-19 and its implications in our prayers.  Patience, kindness, leadership, and understanding to everyone. Keep calm and mosey on. And, remember, this is real.

    NMS:

    YHC signed up for this Q some months ago anticipating a March celebration of Lawrence Welk. Life intervened. Somehow, what YHC had planned just didn’t seem quite right, so YHC reconsidered the following:

    “Self-quarantine on stage.” Wilson already does that.

    “Prison cell quarantine in a parking space.”  Issues: a) there are no marked spaces at Dogpile and b) Chum already does this.

    Who would have guessed that all of the really good “pandemic-themed” Q options would already have been taken?

    It has been a minute or two since Gumbo attended Dogpile, much less took the Q and served up some spicy goodness. It was great to be back. Everyone pushed hard today. That wind was no joke, but we got our miles in and even put in a few minutes of EC (my bad).

    Well done guys. Thanks for letting me lead.

YHC will miss you guys while serving abroad! Shoutout and thanks to Marmaduke, Upchuck, and Dredd for serving some Mary this morning while awaiting the SIX. Enjoyed partnering up with Ollivander and Dredd for the PipeLoop TripleCheck. Not sure how they do PLT’s at Corporate, but Dredd was duly impressed and smoked completing them F3RVA-style.  Keep headlocking and posting fellas – the workouts wont get easier but you WILL get stronger! SYITG, DTH
  • 2 Years of Vinny: Blame Hardywood

    30 Suck Embracers posted to embrace the suck. Here’s how:

    Mosey down to Food Truck Circle for COP: Lots of Arm Circles in honor of Flash Dance – who named me Vinny. Boat Holds in honor of our brother Swirly who is in South Carolina cheering on his daughter in a college softball contest. Go get ’em Reagan! Scorpion Kicks – Honeydo wasn’t with us today. He loves them. TYA wasn’t with us today. He hates them.

    Bermuda Triangle: At the bottom instructions were given. Two exercises (but 4 or 5, if you’re Wilson). PAX Bear Crawl and/or Crab Walk as the main exercises. If a PAX member switches from one to the other, he must do 10 WWIIs. If a PAX member wants to take 5 lunges, then he must do 50 SSHs. Commence up the hill on the left – across the top road – back down the backside to the starting point.

    Touch a Tree: Grab a coupon. Rounds of 8/6/4. Runner carries coupon to all trees. Round of 8 = Curls. Round of 6 = Bench Press. Round of 4 = hold the coupon above your head.

    Jenny on the Blocks: Partners perform 10 Boo Ya Merkins on the coupons. x 3 rounds.

    Wilson’s Boxing Cockroaches: 20 per round x 3 rounds.

    Pearl Jam: Mosey to the amphitheater. No Ticket Master fees. Alternating exercises on each step. 5 Incline Merkins. 5 Dips. All the way out.

    4MOM: Flutter Kicks / Hello Dollies / Rosalitas

    BTTF: Burpees x 2

    Announcements: There are lots. Poker tonight with Orange Crush. Doozy has a great cause helping an elderly member of his church move. Our brother Wild Thing lost his wife recently and there is a memorial service today. There are PreBlasts for all.

    Appropriately Dressed Moleskin: “Bone Thugs, give me a 20 count.” “Twenty … ummm …. ummmm….” “Hey Bone Thugs, give us a twenty count in the voice of Bull Winkle.” “Twenty, nineteen, eighteen, etc.”

    Thanks also to EF Hutton for brining his best Macho Man Randy Savage slowly morphs into Hulk Hogan impersonation.

    Shout out to my man Recall – you’ve been crushing it. Can’t wait to see you crush BRR. Shout out to Exit Row – early front runner for comeback of the year award. Don’t anyone try and beat him. One heart attack is all that’s allowed. Shout out to the infusion of new guys who are out here putting in work. Keep it up!

    Now then, two years ago I met some a%$hole named Patton Gleason. He tricked me into coming to a Dogpile Q’d by Slurpee (where ya been Slurpee?). I hated it, but was instantly hooked. It was exactly what I needed in my life. It’s been an awesome two years. Tons of great memories. Tons of brothers I never knew I had. From my first ever Q to BRR last fall, I’ve loved every minute of time spent with this brotherhood. For those of you who are just joining us, trust me, make it a priority. The payoff is incredible. You will not regret one moment in the gloom. You’ll be better for it, and better because of it.

    It’s been a real honor to be a part of F3RVA for the past two years, and I look forward to riding with y’all until our move this summer. But don’t think for one minute that means y’all are getting rid of me. I’ll be back. It all starts with Gumbo and I defending our championship at the 2nd Annual, First Inaugural F3RVA Retreat on Saturday, October 3rd.

    See y’all Monday at Batteau.

  • Field trip RVA tour

    Winter showed up briefly in RVA this morning and greeted 23 men with 20-something degree weather. New ideas for this morning, why not get a few miles in along with the boot camp in some rarely tread territory.

    THANG

    Mosey to the east, apologies to any LIFO, we were not going to be in typical locations today. Stop at the split in the road at the lake for a brief warmup of SSH, parting the circle to allow the lone runner through. First run: around the lakes, stop at each intersection for 5 burpees. Mosey to Fountain Lake around the lake with 5 merkins at each light pole, unless you are Pew and you want EC so you do burpees instead. Up to Boulevard, at the bridge across the expressway lunge half, bear crawl the rest. Next run: Around the block to Cary, down to Shepard and back to the baseball fields with 20 squats at each intersection. We threw a few stops in here and there for some mary and other fun along the way. A short run down lightpole alley with 5 Monkey Humpers at each. One last run around the pump house road, alternative around the circles and back to the flag for Mary. You can thank Phonics or Hardywood for the audibile. Seeing the light outside, the pipe loop was a great finisher and why not add 5 pullups to the end since we’re passing the cage.

    NMM

    Thanks to the PAX for letting me lead today and putting up with my tendency for long treks. Great effort by everyone today, we were a little worried about Cooper through the streets but he kept up and enjoyed some new smells along the way. Flipper was lamenting the use of coupons recently and just wanted to run a little. Ask and you shall receive. Olivander was downright giddy about today’s field trip. Note to the PAX, if you see Ollie on the Q sheet, you might get something similar to today. Especially great to see various PAX members picking up the six as we rolled along through the City. Tclaps to Recall who decided that a Rosie Q and normal Breakfast Club run was not enough and pushed a few extra for a total of 10 miles on the morning. He earned his waffles and eggs and bacon.

    Enjoyed it this morning men, have a great weekend.
