9 strong Indiana warriors posted to find a Southerner in their PAX at a beat down in Carmel Indiana. YHC has learned a couple new exercises to add to the Lexicon but the beat down was much like a Richmond beat down. Interestingly enough this area just north of Indianapolis is known for its young up and coming hipster population but over half the PAX was respect. I look forward to getting back to my usual AO’s next week.

Mosey from River House to BBALL courts for COP.

High steps, skip, Kareoke, and Run backwards.

Suicides-Regular, Reverse, Burpee Suicides

Mosey to the end of the pier for Dora 1,2,3. 100 merkins, 200 LBCs, and 300 squats. One person performs exercise at end of pier while other runs down the pier, across the beach and back to end of pier.

Mosey back to the river house to the kayaks. AYG paddle across river, 15 seconds rest, AYG paddle to duck blind, Rest, AYG paddle back to boat ramp across river, AYG paddle back to river house.

Mosey back to BBALL courts for 20 dips, 3 sets. 45 minutes elapsed.

NMS : While at the river this week, YHC and 7-11 trying to keep disciplined with the beatdowns. 7-11 woke YHC up at 0515 and YHC had to postpone the beatdown until 0630 due to being up all night with the dogs. A usual occurence the first night at the river for the dogs. 7-11 said she could workout all day long, as long as the workout included some sort of water activity. Prayers answered as we went for a long SUP journey later in the morning to completely toast the arms.

I believe the Corporate Policy is one (1) Downrnage beatdown to get Big Data credit, but 7-11 and YHC completed a mini Murph at the Deltavile Community Center, along with some touch a light pole at the post office this morning. You should have seen the looks we got while running all over Deltaville from the locals. Additionally, there is the Deltaville 5K this weekend if anybody is in the area. (BT and/or Splinter???)

Circle K

With sizable chop, Vinny and his cousin he hasn’t seen in 30 years, safely launched their kayaks for a 45 minute tour of the Corolla seas. No wild horses were spotted and no injuries reported. A stubborn pelican ate in front of us, but never offered to share.

YHC is on vacation this week in Sandbridge beach, just south of Virginia Beach. The M and I are staying with her parents at their condo just north of False Cape State Park. YHC and The M set off to run from the Condo down into the park. Various distances were run between us, but YHC logged in his 45 minutes and just over 5 miles. Weather was nice, lots of people enjoy the scenic route. Have a great week men, YHC looks forward to seeing y’all at Hoedown on Monday.

Nine from Arlington welcomed a traveling Splinter for a perfect morning beatdown at Yorktown High School. The turf was damp but perfect, eclipsing the quality of fields at NoToll.

The Thang

Four corners for COP, lots of variations of merkins including superman and swimmer merkins, which I enjoyed and will likely reuse in the future.

Multiple variations of catch me if you can.

Fun with Bocce balls. Toss a ball with a partner and treat it as an exercise race. You have to do exercises until your partner returns.

Fun time was had by all.

13 came out of the mist for today’s version of The Patriot.  With YHC moseying Down Range to his ancestral homeland of Northern Virginia, The Gloom shined a bit brighter today with temps sunny and 70.

Lucius had the Q and appeared at 5:15 with a mix of traffic cones and a soccer ball – an added motivator.   

COP

SSHs x20 (so far, so familiar)
Little baby arm circles 10 forward…5 bigger…Reverso…5 and 5
Cherry pickers x9
Standing Stair Climbers (just forget YHC mentioned these)

Drop Sprint

Run around track…at two points on the track, last man to the orange cone drops out and does 10 burpees.  Continue until all PAX have dropped.  The PAX really have only two options: win the whole thing, or do 10 burpees.

Crabs, Gorillas, and Bears F3 Soccer

3 teams with 3 goals in a triangle.  Each team tries to score at one goal while defending the other two goals.  Movement only by the assigned method per team.  Each team has one of the three methods at a time.  Swap methods among teams at end of each round.  3 rounds.  Each team tries each method.

Sevens

Round 1: Carolina dry docks and squats.  Run 50 yards in between end line and midfield.
Round 2: Dips and 4x4s.  Run 50 yards in between sideline and other sideline.

Mary

LBCs
Flutter kicks

Number-a-ma, name-a-ram-a, Lucius took us out.

NMS:

YHC met a very cool group of guys today. Lucius brought a good mix of pain and fun…YHC notes that Shake Shack burgers for dinner + beat down + locked bathrooms = No joy.

Welcome FNG Wee-aw (think the sound of a firetruck siren) who is a medical transportation something-or-other. For those who track these things, F3 The Capital named him on Day 1.

 PAX managed to show up for the Ruck edition of Stinkhill. Spit and YHC got some early morning mileage in before hand.

Warmarama: Side Straddle Hop, Imperial Walkers, Through the Tunnels, Michael Phelps, Arm Circles

The Thang: PAX moseyed with their ruck sacks to the field next to the Brown’s Mound. There the PAX partnered up and used heavy sand bags for the following. Partner A did Thrusters with sandbags and rucksacks while Partner B moseyed as fast as possible around the side walk loop. Next the PAX switched to Squats with the rucks and sandbags again the other partner moseyed fast around for a lap. Pax rinsed and repeated for what felt like and eternity. After that the PAX switch gears and did 4 rounds of the following with rucksacks: 10 over head presses with Rucks and then carry ruck in some other fashion to the pine trees. There the PAX performed 10 mekrins with ruck on and then moseyed back across the field carrying the rucks in another way. After each round the PAX did some form of MARY: American Hammers, Flutter Kicks, Leg Raises, LBC’s. After 4 rounds the PAX went a short distance to the playground. With Rucks on the PAX used benches to perform 11’s with rucks on.

PAX then moseyed back to the flags for some COT, Namearama, Countarama..

4 Beach Warriors and 1 Down-ranger arrived at a soaked Mount Trashmore to get their Sunday started off right. The F3 Hampton Roads App said it was 75 and Sunny but YHC’s RVA app said it was 70 and Sunny. YHC trust the RVA app. Some Shovel Flags were planted and the PAX got to work.

This is how it went down

COP (ALL IC) – SSH, Cherry Pickers, Hillbillies, DQ, LBC’s, Heels to Haven, Merkins

THANG

Mosey around the AO and up the stairs to top of the hill

Triple Check –  Two are doing Wilson’s Boxing Dying Cockroach while the third guy is running down the hill to the bathroom then back up. Switch, Rinse, and Repeat for three times each

11’s – Start with 10 WWII-Situps, run across the top of the hill and up to the pole then complete 1 Merkins. Rinse and Repeat till 1 WWWII and 10 Merkins (The PAX stayed together and planked for the six when necessary)

Mosey down the hill to the pull up bars

Ring of Fire – The PAX switched off completing 5 Burp-Ups while the rest of the PAX inclined planked and completed Heels to Haven

Mosey back up the hill then down the stairs. AYG back to the SF for Numberama, Namerama, COT, and Announcements. Dreamliner took us out

MOLESKIN

It’s always great to come to Hampton Roads and post at SlothHill this one was even better since YHC got to Q. YHC always enjoyed some good mumble chatter catching up with this PAX.

The WBDC’s was a hit! Wilson you would be proud that your exercise has made itself out of RVA. One correction we realize even the acronym is a mouth full so Hampton Roads will just be calling the BDC’s

During the 11’s we where using a very “slight” hill at the top of Mount Trashmore. YHC realized about halfway through that hill became not so “slight”.

T-Claps go out to Snowman who gave it all he had at the end pushing Dreamliner to race him to the SF.

CIRCLE OF TRUST (COT)

From the reading plan YHC leads with his 9th grader boys small group titled “Joy To The World”

“Hope, joy, and peace are all words we see everywhere during the Christmas season. But when was the last time you stopped to think about why those words show up so much? What do they actually mean for us? As this verse in Romans reminds us, hope, joy, and peace are all things we can have when we trust in God. Why? Because God is actually the source of all those things! Where in your life do you feel like you need more hope, joy, or peace?”

Romans 15:13 – “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

MOLESKIN

The four of us were down range for our church’s annual youth fall retreat. We did our best to EH some other leaders and youth but no one took the bait. This marks the third year for this annual workout.

The camp provides a much needed change of scenery and we seems to find new “challenges” every time we come.

The gloomy morning dropped a nice frost on the dock. This made the bear crawling nice a slippery and added to our laughter.

SPIT ON THAT!!
