Tag: NoToll

14 able bodied, hip thrusting construction workers assembled at No Toll to pass the flaming hot potato around to see what mash ups could be created. Conditions were ideal for the pumpkin spice season. With watches close enough in sync, off we go. This how things went down.

Last Call Q: Mosey to the main parking lot for welcome, introductions, disclaimers and warm ups that included SSH’s, Imperial Walkers, Helis, Deadman Hang, DQ’s, Dead Man Hang, Merkins, LBC’s, and Freddies. Mosey to the far edge of the parking lot for triple check. Timer runs 2 islands, exercises were curb crawls and pole smokers. Q is passed..

Bromance Q: With attention to detail Q noticed 4 light poles surrounding the lot. 5 merkins at each pole with various methods to travel to each pole including Bernies, Karaoke, Mosey, etc. One round was enough. Q is passed…

Last Call Q: Pass the Q….

Snuff Q: Mosey back to the playground under construction to collect cones or construction barrels. Indigenous peoples run while farmer carrying your item. Route when back thru the parking lot and back to the playground. Take the orange prop and perform 30 WWII’s follow by 30 Bobby Conies. Much fun was had. Time to pass the Q….

L Woods Q: Restore your prop to its original location mosey back to the parking lot with a brief stop at the bridge to pay the toll with dips and elevated merkins. Continue the mosey for Cocaine Bears. Bearcrawl across the parking lot stopping at each line for 1 merkin. Its a big parking lot. Pass the Q…

Last Call Q: Pass the Q…

Dealer Q: Mosey over the field. Partner up for Semi Dora. Timer runs across the field and back. 100 Dips, 200 2 count flutters. Pass the Q..

Last Call Q: MBTTVF. Pass the Q…

Snuff Q: Before reaching the flag. Stop off at our favorite props of cones and barrels for 40 Alabama Cone Dates. With great satisfaction and relief Q is passed…

Last Call Q: AG for 30 seconds. Names, Numbers, Announcements, Prayers. Wedding Singer took us out.

Announcements; Sober October is still happening. Support those that need it and could not be with us today.

NMS: With vacancy on the Q sheet yesterday, YHC was fearful of a Doozy Q or other vicious beatdown, so took it with thoughts of spreading the Q to others that have not Q’d recently. Great variety but multiple trips to and from the parking lot, left YHC feeling like it was a Doozy Q. Alabama Conies are much preferred to Mankillers. Great mumble chatter and laughs were had, especially with Snuffs favorite props. Well done fellas. Always good starting the day off in this great company.

Fifteen F3RVA regulars gathered in the NoToll parking lot for a long-overdue NTB beatdown. One potential FNG cruised through the park during COP #1 and would have stayed had Orange Crush not scared him away. This is what he observed from a safe distance:

Warmarama

• Circle up on the basketball court. OC crushed (pun intended) the F3 mission statement and we proceeded with various IC warm-up exercises.

COP #1 – Suicide Bear

• Line up along the baseline for bear crawl suicides with a Bernie back to the starting line.
• At the far baseline we started with 12 merkins and then decreased the merkin count each time a line was reached.
• Working 12 merkins down to 1 equaled three bear crawl suicides in total.
• The wet conditions definitely increased the bear crawl difficulty and much was said about how long we spent on the court.

COP #2 – Heavy Cindy the Prostitute

• Mosey down to the dumpster enclosure to pick up cindy’s for the following four corners, prostitute style:
  • Corner 1: 10 curls for the gurls
  • Corner 2: 10 cindy squats
  • Corner 3: 10 cindy rows
  • Corner 4: 10 cindy ground-to-overhead
• To quote RVA’s new Nantaan, this really sucked! Carrying a cindy the whole time and then moving it a different way at each corner kept us under load for the full duration.
• Two styles of cindy were available, heavy and heavier. By the end we were struggling. Respect also to the guys nursing injuries who wisely modified as needed to ensure a solid four corners beatdown.
• Mosey back to the flag, stopping briefly to pay the toll with 10 dips and 10 single count step-ups.

COT

• Numbers, names, announcements, and prayer requests. YHC took us out!
  • Sober October starts today! Join the 15+ HIMs electing to abstain from a vice this month. See Slack for the dedicated channel.
  • Prayers for Orange Crush’s coworker who is screening for potential cancer ten years after beating it the first time.
  • Prayers for the NTB’s who are four-weeks out from welcoming another baby girl into the family.
  • Praise for Lone Wolf’s dad’s knee surgery!
    • After spending his adult life working as a mason to earn a living to put his three kids through college, his knee was overdue for a replacement. Yesterday his own son, Lone Wolf’s brother, performed the surgery on his dad. How fitting that we also put in a little block work today.

Not one for stats or backblast. Belay logged over 250 various merkins with 17 H.I.M.s in his VQ.

NMS:  Hey guys, does our God love us or what?! ZERO rain for the duration of the workout and COT, then literally as we’re walking to our cars it starts to downpour! What amazing timing. YHC was fully ready to do the EXACT same beatdown in the pouring rain, but it was such a blessing to stay dry. Pretty awesome numbers at NoToll given the 98% chance of rain – TClaps fellas! Sorry (not sorry) for the J.Cash ROF repeato, but it was too good not to find some other fun ways to use that song. It’s a great burner! Truly appreciate sharing the gloom with you guys. Yours AYE! ~DTH
