NoToll wouldn’t have it any other way. The rain didn’t scare off a might 18 from posting to NoToll hoping YHC has something better than an Old Glory in store. Well, not much better. First, we all pay a 1-burpee toll for Heist’s terrible parking job. Done. Mosey to the back lot for very quick COP (not doing 1,000 SSHs) – all IC – SSHs, DQs, Helicopters and we were off and running…to the pavilion. THE THOUSAND – 5 exercises, 20 reps each, a run between rounds – 10 rounds. Exercises were: Merkins, Mountain Climbers (2-ct), Squats, Imperial Walkers (2-ct)…

13 men gathered at No Toll for an animal-themed workout, courtesy of L. Woods with inspiration from the F3 Nation Exicon. It began with a “crab vs. bear” soccer match, which resulted in the Q getting beamed in the head and side. From there, the PAX suffered through duck & weave, gorilla crawl stations, and a Tunnel of Love. Lesson learned: sometimes the Exicon should stay in the Exicon. Warmerama: Side straddle hops, ukranian soldiers, imperial walkers, cherry pickers, LBCs, freddie mercuries, alabama prom dates Pay the toll- 20 incline merkins, 20 dips COP 1: Warmup: side straddle hops, Ukrainian…

0527 Snuff rolls up ready to take his prize as the Q and the Ghost Flag is pointed out to him. He was all ready to play some Jamz on his 1990’s looking Lunchbox Speaker but alas YHC dropped the Ghost Flag. YHC had a idea but little plan, but YHC likes to riff like a true Jazz artist. Mosey to the darkest corner by the Parking Lot and complete a no-frills COT. Mosey over to the Rosie’s 12 Days of Christmas covered tables for a Triple Chora. YHC invented the Triple Chora but forget the details so an audible…

17 HIM’s joined YHC for a No Toll beatdown today. YHC has been off the Q sheet for awhile, and it felt good to be back! Warmarama: Mozey to the courts for a lap around the court then line up on the baseline for a suicide warmup. Round 1: 50% jog Round 2: 50% jog, 1 burpee at each line. Round 3: Bernie 50% jog, 5 merkins at each line Round 4: 75%, 5 air squats at each line Round 5: 100% Mozey to the fields stopping to pay the toll along the way. 10 dips and 10 decline merkins…

0528: cool, dewy, 60’s, and a cacophony of fullheart mumble chatter bouncing around among the gathered PAX. 0530: classic 80’s rock electric guitar booms out from a speaker being carried off into the gloom by the Q …the PAX brimming with questions follows behind with bewildered enthusiasm. The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey out to Field 1 and circle up Brief Welcome & Disclaimer Brief smattering of warm-up Reps IC THE F3 BEATDOWN DECK: PAX given review of Beatdown Deck rules of engagement – 5-card rounds, each followed with a run around the field, complete as many rounds as possible …most of…

A pair of single ones enjoyed the lush bermuda turf of Huguenot Park in the latest rendition of No Toll. YHC instructed the Pax that gloves were optional but not recommended. Effort, however, was all out and on display. YHC cut off salutations and greetings to get the party started at 5.30. Short Mosey to the parking lot where introductions and disclaimers were announced along with some light stretching of YHC’s favorite hits. All seemed limber so let us begin. Mosey across the bridge to midfield of the recently sprinkled pitch in pristine condition for the imposing beatdown. YHC decided…

11 sluggers posted to Huguenot Little League for another chance to drop bombs or hit dingers. It was dark so all had to endure 30 minutes of traditional bootcamp before stepping into the box for swings, but we made it work. Mosey foul pole to foul pole and back again and circle up for COP in the plush, memory-foam outfield grass. Do some traditional warm-ups and stretching, then a Triple Check with the runner running pole to pole, 1 PAX doing a wall sit or pole smokers on the fence and the other doing a combo exercise of 4 merkins…

No bear crawling was had but an FNG Packers fan got a new name here at No Toll. Welcome to the newest member of the Bill Swerski club “Ditka”. Machismo with cameos form Last Call had the Q this morning and YHC was glad for some of the audibles. Here’s what went on: Warmarama: F3 mission statement: To plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership. Pop Quiz in front of our FNG what are the five core pinciples of F3 “Leave no man behind” = 10 Burpees Faith= 10 burpees. Finally Pax got…

27 SOJ warriors met on the pristine NoToll fields of battle for a first ever NOS vs SOS (North of South, South of South) Rivalry matchup. The ultimate disc was the weapon of the day and both sides of Midlothian were ready to do battle. Here’s how first blood was not just drawn, but gloriously spilled without mercy. The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey lap around the field and circle up Welcome & Disclaimer Brief smattering of IC Reps SPLITTING TEAMS: SOS brought 11 PAX and a fancy LED frisbee NOS brought 16 warriors, and two HIM’s who live at or just…

10 glory days seekers disregarded the forecast, crossed their fingers and showed up praying the field conditions would permit a HR Derby….and they did. We had to improvise a bit, but we were able to get it done and the lower numbers allowed for 2 full rounds and 2 lightning rounds for 8 swings each. And, finally, after about 8 years (or however many we have been doing this), YHC finally overcame his performance anxiety (must have been the smaller crowd) and connected for 6 HRs in 8 swings. Glory Days! Several others connected for HRs, including Rosie, NTB, OC,…
