Tag: NoToll

6 Veteran No Toll Regulars and 1 FNG fought off the fart sack this morning to tackle the dewey fields of No Toll. This is what was rumored to have occured according to the dog walkers that witnessed with curiousity.

Short mosey to the lush fields of No Toll for F3 disclaimer for the new attendee and a quick Warm up with exercises that included helicopters, dead man hang, cherry pickers, plank jacks, elbow plank, plank curls (new exercise with a working title) & LBC’s.

Short Mosey to the pavilion for the Thang:

Starting at the pavilion each PAX member ventures out to one of 10 flags laid out on the corners of the field to perform 25 reps of prescribed exercise. After each round, return to pavilion to perform 25 dips or 25 derkins (personal choice), rinse and repeat until all 10 stations have been completed. Exercises included American Hammers (2 count), Squats, Heels to Heaven, SSH, WWII’s, Flutter Kicks (2 count), Curls for the Girls, Squat Thrusts, Arm Circles (with coupons) & Lt. Dans. Doozy led the 6 while YHC and Bullseye cleaned up.

Still time on the clock, short mosey back to Field 1 for Dora. 100 Hand Release Merkins, 200 Box Jumps, 300 Jump Squats. Timer runs across field and back. Audible called for time during Box Jumps. BTTF for Merkin Ring of Fire and quick Ab Mary of APD, Dollies & Rosalitas. Numbers, Names – Welcome Burnout, Announcements. YHC took us out.

NMS: Numbers were a bit lower at No Toll with the Summer Tour and the Ultimate Frisbee happening at Heartbreak. Still strong showing from some SOJ regulars. YHC wanted to get on the Q sheet to avoid a 3rd week straight of a brutal Doozy/Posey Q. PAX seemed very happy the audible was called before 300 jump squats. Wagon Wheel workout takes its toll on the shoulders (arm circles with coupons are brutal).

YHC received a text late last night from an FNG he has been recruiting for months that he wanted to come out to boost his cardio. YHC does not do cardio workouts but added a bit more to oblige. Welcome Burnout, another VMI graduate to add to the PAX. Look forward to seeing you back out shortly. Alwasy in honor to lead you fellas. Enjoy your day.

Numbers/Names DTH took us out

NMS:

YHC had full intention of keeping the run portion of this workout to a low roar by just staying on the blacktop, however as a Doozy Q usually goes there was a fair amount of run to be had. YHC had a couple other fun things planned but the elevens took up way more time than anticipated so they will have to remain on the back burner until the next open Q.

A solid 18-PAX posted to NoToll in breezy fair weather to play some Ultimate Frisbee. Here’s how 9v9 played out:

The THANG:

The light colors were down a man briefly until Fresh Prince showed up, and then Light and Dark teams exchanged touchdown for touchdown until they were about 3-3… that’s when the Light team pulled away and despite a couple more worthy touchdowns by the Dark team, the Light jersey’d gents won the day. CONGRATS!!! There were a LOT of highlights for the morning, but the one that stands out was Beaker (Respect) running across the end zone to put the smackdown on a Nancy Lopez touchdown. It was like watching two worlds colliding. Not sure Nancy has had a hit like that in a couple decades. Strong work today fellas. SYITG, DTH

Mosey BTTF for Stretch & COT:

• Counterama # 18
• Namerama
• Announcerama (see Comments)
• YHC took the PAX out in Prayer

Numbers, Names, Announcements, YHC took us out.

Announcements:

-Ultimate frisbee at No Toll next week. Check DTHs preblast for other days/locations this summer.

-Puppypile on June 12 following Dogpile.

NMS: Great morning to be out at No Toll. The slightly chiller temp was definitely welcomed. Numbers were a little lighter than usual (but not unexpected given the holiday weekend recoveries). Sharks and minnows seemed to be a crowd pleaser. Fresh Prince proved to be a champion crab walker and Snuff can bear crawl in any direction with ease.

You guys rock! Thanks for letting me lead. Peace!

YHC was sleepless for No Toll this week as coming off a anniversary trip to Manhattan and Monday off it was time to get back in the groove. So here is what went down for 16 F3 brothers.

COP

After planting the flag (many attempts with no soft soil around) and gathering the gear we mosey to the parking lot by the giant Cell Tower. We perform 20 SSH, 10 DQ, 10 Imperial Walkers, 10 Helicopters, 20 4 ct American Hammers. And we recover to mosey to the grassy soccer field.

THANG

YHC had sorted out the Deck into the four suits and had 4 members of the PAX pick 2 cards from each group to set up for an 8 circuit 8 reps of 20 seconds of exercise, 10 seconds of rest for a total of 4 minutes for each exercise. YHC wanted to be sure we had a full body workout as the suits represented the following: Clubs – Core, Diamonds – Upper Body, Spades – Legs and Hearts – Cardio. So my brothers did an Audible on these cards and we still got a great workout and below were list of exercises:

1- Merkin (we performed 10 merkins then held plank for remaining time for 20 second rep)

2- High knee

3- LBC’s

4 – Squats

5 – Carolina Dry docks (we performed 10 reps then held plank for remaining time in 20 second rep)

6 – Mountain Climbers

7 – Backward Lunge was the Card…Posh called an audible on this one.

8 – Diamond Merkins (we performed 10 reps then held plank for remaining time in 20 second rep)

We Mosey back to flag as we are almost at the 45 min mark.

COP

Namerama, Numberama and Olivander took us out in prayer…Well done men and it was an honor to lead today.

Moleskin

The F3 workout deck has some great exercises baked in with many possibilities and is great with a Tabata style workout. YHC likes this one as we can concentrate on a full body workout and stay in one place as a group. It was fun to hear the mumble chatter and folks catching up. Apologies for the sound on the Tabata counter, will work to ensure it is louder so all can hear.

Announcements – Convergence is at Tredegar Ironworks at 7am on Monday 31, 2021 (Memorial Day) this is an hour long workout and the only AO in Richmond for this day.

Prayers for Florence as his wife is expecting in the next week and he is travelling to Florida, but has contingencies in place to return home if required.
