Moleskin

‘Twas a great morning to be alive. Cool air, light breeze, fresh (a’hem) air. Today we were reminded of the 8 lbs of chicken wings Handshake made and who knows what Fudd made.

Flo showed his bashfulness during triple check while also learning about the intestinal habits of a few middle-aged men.

Apologies of the day goes to Pigskin for not keeping the distance down. Way to push it!

Thank you to all who showed.

Splinter out.

F3RVA’s darkest AO was anything but on a moderate February morning. The conditions, and Silent Assassin on the Q sheet, drew a bakers dozen PAX out to see what we could do in the light. We did:

COP: SSH, Don Qs, Ukrainian Soldiers, IPs, Merkins, Reverse Crunch(es)

Mosey up to soccer field for Triple Check: Run across & 5 Pullups, Donkey Kicks, & Jump Squats. Head over to 3rd back lot for a Dora 123: 100 Hand-Release Merkins, 200 Heels2Heaven, 300 SSH. Back over to main TES for Fudd’s favorite, Bearrows. 3 Burpees at each Arrow while alternating Bear crawl and Crab walk between. Finish up with 3 min of Mary and done. YHC took us out.

Announcements: Breaking Bread is now open to PAX to go in and serve and eat with those there. This is good news and a great experience if you have not done so. And we’re going back to 2017 for a relaunch of Batteau on 2/20.

NMS: Nice to see 13 strong out to start the week off right. Oyster said he had to get up early and make the drive to spice things up from his normal Satans Hill on Monday. Hoedown is always welcome to be his, and any PAXs, side piece AO. PAX stayed together well during the Triple check but on the Dora had some wild variances in finish times. Some said form was abandoned, Handshake wasn’t there to critique Hand-release merkin form. Fudd was so excited we came back to do the Bearrows that he pushed through and finished first. YHC was worried he would try to get injured by the dumptruck to get out of it but we all stayed safe.

A nice, round pax of 11 arrived in their Vineyard Vines finest to venture around and awaken the slumbering neighbors. Q sheet was vacated, Handshake arrived to announce a hawt potato. Everyone popped their collars and away we went. This is what was rumored to have occurred according to the early morning travelers.

Handshake Q: Short mosey down and around West Drive Circle. Circle up with Fudds’ failed attempt for a mutiny. F3 disclaimer and warm ups that included SSH’s, DQ’s, Ukrainian Soldiers, LBC’s, Inverted Scorpion Kicks.

Triple Check: Runner around the loop, World War II’s uphill, Hand Release Merkins downhill. AG for the 6.

Mosely down to Lindsey Court. Partner up for Catch Me if you Can (inspired by Roger Rogers heroic aviation tales). Bernie up the hill, while partner performs 5 burpees than pursues.

Top of Lindsey – Q was passed…

Wedding Singer Q: Mosey to the dropoff circle for a Triple Check: Runner on the loop, Wall Sits, Dying Cockroaches.

Mosey over to the asphalt hill for elevating merkins. 1 merkin at the bottom, bearcrawl up the asphalt hill to the fence, 2 merkins. Mosey back down, 3 merkins, bearcrawl up – 4 merkins….upon reaching 5, begin decent back down to 1.

Upon completion – Q was passed….

Last Call Q: Burpee arrows. Follow arrows around parking lot. 1 burpee at 1st arrow, lunge to 2nd arrow – 2 burpees, bearcrawl to 3rd arrow – 3 burpees. Alternate method of approach. After 5 burpees, work your way back down to 1 burpee. Upon 1 burpee, work your way back up until arrows are no longer there.

Finished up with some broga and quick Shravasana.

Numbers, Names, Announcements – Pigskin took us out.

NMS: Great mumble chatter throughout the morning as expected with hot potato and triple checks. Good to have Pigskin and Fudd back from their medical expedition with good tales and in good health. Roger Roger is a stud when it comes to west coast engine failure. Fargo making it thru 2 rainy day posts, Keep up the good work. Great work this morning fellas.

CSAUP hangovers, warm fartsacks, misty weather, and the threat of a punishing EF Q are some of the excuses six men overcame this morning at Hoedown.  Here’s what transpired:

MOLESKIN

The PAX was smallish, but mighty.  Bodos tried to do his part to save the world by driving his more environmentally friendly van or simply because it had heat, but our trek behind Third Church proved our neighbors care far less.  There were more automobiles, primarily of the gas guzzling variety, than there were houses and likely people.  Alicia Silverstone and Stiffler’s mom made their way into the mumblechatter.  Bodos enjoyed a good game of Human Frogger and Handshake, well Handshake said Handshake things.

No prayer requests today.

NMS – it was a quiet day at Hoedown, a lot of regulars were not in attendance. YHC had 2 potential themes planned: 1) Heist was planning to cross the river so YHC had a “Hoedown Sampler Platter” but at the last minute he backed out (insert eye roll) 2) YHC had planned a workout to demonstrate to both Splinter and Honeydo how much of an inspiration they are, but they both fart sacked (insert double eye roll). I’d say it was a good day anyways. Thanks to Pucker for helping me see through the all Triple Check workout. I will keep both previous themes saved for a another day.

13 men came out for the 2nd Hoedown of the year and YHC’s first Q. Here’s what went down.

COP: Head up to the blacktop. Dead man hang, lean left/right, 15 SSH, jog, karaoke, and back pedal to fence and back. We would’ve skipped too, but that was shot down due to the wetness of the blacktop.

Partner up for a mini dora: 50 burpees, 100 double count shoulder taps, 150 double count mountain climbers. Partner bear crawls to fence and back.

Head down to the wall and wall sit for 30 seconds with the Pax counting to 30. 10 donkey kicks. 20 SSH. Repeat 5 times.

Indian run 6 laps around the carpool loop. They were the Tuckahoe Indians when YHC went to school there. No idea if they still are or not.

Circle up and plank for 60 seconds with each member of the Pax counting out then 10 squats. Repeat 3 times. May need to work on counting going forward.

Head back up to blacktop for four corners. 10 merkins, 20 LBC’s, 30 monkey humpers, 40 squat jumps. Repeat and add 10 for each.

Head down to parking lot and partner up. 1 partner bear crawls up to fence and crawl bears back down. Other partner does WWII’s.

Circled up and stretched. Ended with 5 burpees.

Numberama and Namerama. Pretty sure there were two announcements, but YHC can’t remember what they were. Will work on this next time.

*Thanks to everyone who showed up and encouraged me to sign up for my VQ. Special shoutout to offshore who invited back in the summer and introduced me to F3. I’ve enjoyed it.

9 fine gentlemen gathered to start the first Monday of the year off right at Hoedown. Here’s how things went:

COP: SSH x 20, DQ x 10, CP x 10, IW x 12, shoulder taps x 10, mosey to somewhere dry, aka church parking lot loop.

Partner up for a Dora: 100 HRM, 200 Superman (crowd favorite), 300 LBC

Keep same partners for Something New – 30-60-90-90-60-30. Two exercises (plank / jump squat). Partners alternate every 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, repeat 90s and back down. FIA to the back church lot for…

11’s with Gomer’s favorite Crab Cakes and Lt. Dans. After a quick mosey back towards the flag we wrapped up the morning with another something new 30-30-60-60 including burpees and people’s chair. Significant fun was had by all.

Numberama, Namerama, Announcements (Triangle in January, Pre Grid Iron breakfast coming soon, prayers for Swipe Right’s family – funeral on Wednesday), and YHC took us out.

Moleskine: Thanks for the privilege to lead this morning & humbled to realize we couldn’t even watch the world record 9+ hr plank hold at 2x on youtube… until next time, GP.

It was back to the old stomping grounds for YHC, who was joined, eventually, by 9 other frozen companions. After Handshake completed his double parking spot parking job with the mini-van, this is what went down:

NMS:

A calm 17 degrees awaited the pax this morning. Constant movement was key to overcome the chill, with the lack of wind making things more bearable. Garbage Plate didn’t see the pax run almost right beside him on his way in. Fudd was lucky to see us in COP while driving by the front of the school, Last Call sent his M on her way north (possibly on the wrong train) and was very lucky to catch us before we disappeared towards Westham Pkwy (thanks for going to get him, Handshake!) Very quiet and still morning and the workout seemed to go by very quickly. Mr. Rogers posted at Hoedown for the first time and took the mandatory “first time there” entrance to the AO.

Starbucks for 9 of the 10 afterwards with discussions of how to properly use the bathroom and take a shower in different areas of the world. Bodo’s enjoyed his female-filled Christmas. EF Hutton is up to 322!

Great job this morning, men! Way to work!

SYITG!

NMS:

A good bit of Mumble Chatter started out the morning but about 3/4’s of the way through the Jack Webb’s it settled down a bit. Last Call mentioned something about making these last 45 minutes but we had the 4 corners and Man Killers on the books. We did get in the 4 corners but the Man Killers will be saved for another day.
