With Kubota occupied by burning fan motors and smoke detector alarms, EF was called into action.  Without a plan, YHC put on the greatest hits album and let muscle memory takeover.

Good to have Olaf visiting from Houston, though he could have left the heat and humidity there.  Very few complaints from the PAX this morning apart from inconsistency in which vehicles were crossovers vs. SUVs, particularly CRVs.  If YHC had had time to prepare, blocks would have been brought along to smash whenever a Volvo was spotted.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Convergence tomorrow 0700 Dogpile

Summer Tour continues

3 strong and youthful Tuckahoians welcomed an a lost SOJ regular this morning without required medical assistance to reject the nursing home Pickleball trend that is sweeping the community. Here is what was rumored to have occurred according to Martha and Rupert.

Short mosey over to the church employee lot for Introductions, disclaimers and warm ups that included Invisible Jumprope, DQ’s, Jazzercise, Imperial Walkers, LBC’s, Rosalitas and Dying Cockroaches. Asphalt seems to be coming up around the area of a certain PAX member. Lawsuits were discussed.

Mosey to the rear parking lot for 11’s. Merkins and Lt. Dans were called running the parking lot long ways. After round 1, let’s audible to run across the parking lot width to help expedite this beatdown.

Short mosey to the commoners parking lot of the church, grab a few coupons for a DORA. 50 Big Boy Situps, 100 Squats with coupon, 200 Chest Presses with Coupon. Timer runs the loop. After 2nd round, let’s audible from Big Boys to WWII’s. Return coupons to their protected location.

Short mosey to Silverspring for Burpee Road. Burpee for every SUV along the route, Brocode Style. YHC was very forgiving on the SUV classification based on off-roading capabilities. BTTVF for few minutes of Broga.

Numbers, Names, Announcements and Prayers. Kubota took us out as YHC had to get going this morning.

NMS: Mondays are difficult, but the week always starts better with a Monday F3 beatdown. No better way to reject the fartsack then to Q. Numbers at Hoedown have been affected by the geriatric calling of Pickleball at Batteau. MumbleChatter is always strong with Kubota and Handshake, with Kubota fancing himself more of a rabbit then a Clydesdale these days. Handshake submitted his FOIA request to get the background on 1-800. Can’t wait to get him out to First Watch for some oversharing and the really good stories.

Great work gents. Good way to start the week.

Numbers, Names, Announcements and Pigskin took us out!

NMS:

With YHC’s return to Hoedown since school is now finally out for the M, YHC was expecting some regulars. It looked like it was just going to be Senor Frog and YHC at first, with the plan of helping Senor Frog get acclimated to Q’ing so that he can get his VQ on soon. YHC thinks he is ready! With the last minute additions of Pigskin and Garbage Plate, a four-way Hot Potato was called. Pickleball prevails now on Mondays with the early morning sunlight but Hoedown will be getting it’s numbers back later in the summer. Quality not quantity was the theme this morning 🙂

Way to work this morning, men! Leading and partnering!

Have a great day and SYITG!!

Kubota

9 dudes including some rabbits and Clydesdales converged on what is sometimes called the darkest AO in F3RVA. Thankfully the Sky Q left the lights on for the PAX today. Paid the SOJ toll to get across the river , 530 hits and off we went. According to the dog walker wondering “how we do it?”, this is more or less how it went down:

loop around parking lot, warmerama including but not limited to:

• Invisible jump rope
• Jazzercise
• dead man hang
• Collard pickers
• merkins
• pretzel twists
• scorpion kicks
• hillbillies
• flutter kicks

mosey across the blacktop to the field for two sets of triple checks.
mosey back across the blacktop to the hill for a Jacob’s ladder, up hill for 1 burpee, back down 2 burpee etc., up to 5 (only once), then back down to 1.
stretch it out then mosey to the black top for a 4 corners prostitution style. Exercises were merkins, Jump squats, ball dippers, and monkey humpers. BTTF

numbers, names, YHC took us out

announcements:

• Summer tour, sign up and see more AOs and PAX! See slack or Honeydo for details
• 2nd F lunch at firehouse in Innsbrook tomorrow at 12
• SOJ takeover continues through Friday, post and and get an SOJ Q!

NMM

TCLAPS to Gomer Pyle today for leading by example and picking up trash from the AO. As a PAX we followed suit and did our part. YHC is of the opinion that we should leave the AO better than we found it, just as we “leave no man behind, and leave no man where you found him”.

Bonus points were awarded to Faceplant for bringing an FNG and neighbor, who lives within sight of the school. Faceplant knows him from church. They share a common situation in that they both have recent additions to their families. 1-800 is an attorney who handles class-action litigation. Always great to have an FNG join us!

Bonus points were also awarded to Garbage Plate for posting this past Friday in Charlotte.

Take out by YHC. Excerpts from Psalm 8.

This one is a bit more execused. It was a hot potato Q at Hoedown on this Monday morning. EF Hutton started things off and then YHC basically hijacked the cue after Hutton. I guess I had pent up leadership needs inside or something.

Totally forgot what we did but we ended with some four corners and then box jumps without the box. We couldn’t figure out what box jumps without the box were called…but they looked pretty goofy and I probably won’t be doing them again.

All told, it took about 10 minutes to post these backblasts. Not really a ton of time when you think about it. I’ll do better next time.

Eight studs rose to the occasion for a mid-May Hoedown.  HP was the order of the day.

EF Hutton Q

• COP
• DORA
• Plankorama

Marv Q

• Stuff on Blacktop
• Stuff on Handrails
• More stuff on Blacktop
• Other stuff

MOLESKIN

After a brief EF stint at the helm, Marv took the Q and ran with it.  Perhaps a backblast was forthcoming, but the statute of limitations ran out. YHC knows there were eight, Flo is the one in question. If your name belongs, call the hotline.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Convergence Monday 5/29 7am Tredegar

10 of the coolest dudes in RVA gathered to see what random tasks YHC had in store for this weeks episode of Hoedown

Mosey to the Recess Blacktop for COP of various exercises, most notably Inverted Scorpion Kicks

Mosey to Lil’ Blue #1 to gather the Microblocks, 1 per person

Mosey to the the Cul-de-sac at the bottom of Lindsay Drive. Various block exercises and then partner up. P1 does 5 Burpees while P2 takes both blocks and Bernie Sanders up the hill. P1 catches P2 and switch until the top of the hill.

Mosey back up to the Asphalt Hill opposite the Gaga Pit. Drag the block up the hill, then various Block exercises, then drag the block back down the hill.

Gorilla Shuffle across the parking lot.

Mosey over to the Cafeteria area for a Triple Check. P1 run the loops with both Blocks, P2 uses one block for Curls for the Girls, P3 does a Wall Sit. Two rounds were completed.

Mosey to the grassy area for final block work to complete the workout.

Announcements – Convergence at Tredegar Iron Works on Monday 5/19. Gomer Pyle needs volunteers on the Broke D$ck Brigade to help get Coffee and Bagels for the 2nd F after the workout.

No prayer requests today.

NMS – this is likely one of the quietest workouts YHC has been to in a while. Hardly any mumble chatter. Maybe that means YHC did a good job? YHC hopes everyone has a good week.

Eight, no nine, no eight morning warriors with simmering violence in their souls converged at Hoedown at 0530. Here’s what went down:

COP at the first Third Church lot: standard fare.

Merkin Jax (c/o Florence) 1:4 ratio : 1 merkin, 4 plank jax, 2 merkins, 8 plank jax, up to 5/20 and all the way back down. Mosey to middle lot

Triple check: P1: Block thrusters , P2: American Hammers , P3: Run the lot. // Round 2: P1: Chest Press, P2: Flutter Kicks, P3: Run the lot. // Round 3: P1 Block Swings, P2: LBCs, P3: Run the lot. Repeato the whole thing with P3 running Bernie Sanders. Mosey to back church lot.

11s: Burpees and WW2s. Mosey back to the start.

COP: Oblique Merkins, Elbow plank

NMS: Having watched John Wick 4 at the theater last night and having drunk 64 ounces of coke, the Q was running on little sleep and lots of violent fight scenes in his head. One of the first semi-humid mornings where a towel and change of shirt is needed for the drive home. A portent of things to come. Great to have Snuff up north of the river, hope Singer’s GI is ok. SYITG

A strong 13 PAX came out for the start of May and see what fun was in store. We did:

COP on blacktop: SSH, Don Qs, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Flutterkicks, Scorpion kicks. Splinter kid’s fitbit was not there so we moseyed down to bottom of Lindsay. Partner up and alternate bear crawl and lunge back to top. Mosey down to other Cul-de-Sac on Paris Ridge for Dora 123: 100 Burpees, 200 Flutterkicks, 300 Squats.

Mosey back to TES parking lot for everyone’s favorite: Ascending HRMs at each arrow and alternate Crab walk and Lunge. Finish up in the petting zoo tent with 2 min of Mary.

Announcements: CSAUP at Godwin this Saturday morning. Ruck at 6, Bootcamp at 7 and run relay at 8:00.

NMS: Best way to get yourself back on track is to sign up to Q. YHC was glad he did and was met with overwhelming support, especially from Fudd. YHCs only plan was to hit up the Cul-de-Sac(s) Sax?? since those are not on the normal list for YHC. When the 100 Burpees was called for in the Dora there was barely a groan, guess that means we’ll have to drop the burpees in the 200s some day soon. The Petting Zoo tent still smelled of farm animals but no droppings were found.
