Mosey to the basketball courts 1 set of suicides

BTTF – Burpee ring of fire – jog in place and do a burpee every time YHC calls for one

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

Low humidity and lots of dew awaited eight HIMs at No Toll this morning. Here’s what went down…

COP:

Mosey around, hit up a trail, and wind around back to the basketball court.

SSHs, DQs, Russian Soldiers, Cherry Pickers

Donkey Suicides – suicide with 10 donkey kicks at the baseline and 5 merkins at 25, 50, 75, 100

LBCs, Flutters, FMs

Sharks and Minnows:

Starting at the baseline, PAX (minnows) attempts to cross the basketball court via the called maneuver without getting tagged by sharks. If tagged, you’re out and perform 5 burpees. Keep repeating until all minnows are sharks.

Round 1: Crab walk

Round 2: Bear crawl

Round 3: Duck walk

Mosey to back field.

Beast:

WWIIs, Burpees, Jump Squats, Carolina Drydocks, Squats, Merkins

BTTF.

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.

HAve a great day Gents …. CB

Shout out to Donor Kebab and Bone Thugs for reminding me.

The lush fields of NoToll rolled out before 15 gloom studs who all agreed their lives were sadly short on burpees. No problem – the good Doctor had a prescription for what ailed them:

The THANG:

COP #1:

• Mosey to the Field and circle up
• Welcome & F3 Disclaimer
• Usual DTH Warmerama broken up every 2-3 sets with a movement exercise across the field, x3 burpees, and return to circle up for more

COP #2:

• Mosey over to the Pavilion
• BURPEE PYRAMID:
• Burpees with ascending Merkins 1-10
• Run a lap around the Pavilion after #5 and #10
• Burpees with descending Groiners 10-1
• Run a lap after #5 and #1

COP #3:

• Return to the Field
• ULTIMATE BURPEE:
• PAX divided into two teams 
• Turnovers: x3 Burpees for the those responsible for a bad throw and/or missed catch 
• Touchdowns: x5 Burpees for everyone
• The All-Blacks won 6-4 against the others colors, so x100 burpees minimum, plus extra burpees for all the turnovers (some of us were so blessed more than others…)

Mosey BTTF for COT:

• Counterama # 15
• Namerama
• Announcerama (see Comments)
• YHC took the PAX out in Prayer

NMS: What a GREAT PAX we have in SOJ!!! Loved leading you boys through what we might consider the only way to possibly “enjoy” doing around 150-200 burpees in a 45 minute timeframe. YHC enjoys having Buzzkill back out with the PAX – that man has some SPEED on the field! And yes, he made YHC look sloppy at least once. Kudos of course to my All-Black teammates, especially the pro frisbee handling by OC, Last Call and DK. Honestly amazing effort by every single man out there on both teams. YHC’s honestly more beat after that little number than many other tough Q’s. And to top it all off, the announcement grand finale, Fresh Prince is our newest to-be BABY DADDY!!!! There’s gonna be a lot of proud uncles (and defenders of honor) for your little girl brother. SYITG gents, DTH

A smooth bakers dozen, and 1 furry companion, arrived to the lush fields of No Toll this morning to the sunny and 70 temps to see what YHC had in store. Oyster was quite anxious to get the party started early so off we went. This is what was rumored to have occurred according to the hiker darting in and out of the woods.

Mosey to the 1st soccer field for Disclaimer and Warmarama. Exercises included SSH, Russian Soilers, Imperial Walkers, Cherry Pickers, Plank Jack Mercans, Dead Man Hang. Everyone warm, we mosey.

COP 1: Wander to the end of the field and partner up for a MegaDora. 100 mercans, 200 American Hammers (double count), 300 SSH, 400 Monkey Humpers. Timer runs full length of field and back. Flutters for the 6

COP 2: Wander to the pavilion where YHC did a terrible job of explaining the assembly line. Split the PAX into 2 teams. PAX selected 5 exercises to be completed while one person ran the soccer field as the timer. Upon return of the runner, each person moves down one space to perform the next exercise in the rotation. Exercises included SSH, Mercans, Squats, Plank Jacks, Scrunchy Frogs. Completed 2 rounds. Finished with 10 Burpees OYO since Prince selected that exercise but we did not have the ponies.

BTTF for Circle of Fire – WW2 style. 10 WW2’s by 2 PAX. Those waiting, held 6″ until thier turn. Names, Numbers, Announcement, Prayers, YHC took us out.

Announcements/Prayers:

– Prayers to Florence and his family while his mother battles ongoing medical issues.

-DTH’s 2.0 is pushing for Puppy Pile to return. Possibly on Sundays at 7 possibly at No Toll. If interested contact DTH with dates and if 2.0’s are interested.

– T-claps to Boberry for organizing a successful blood drive over the weekend and to all those that participated. Great work men.

NMS: Assembly line seemed simple to explain in my mind, but you guys crushed it regardless. Nice mumble chatter throughout, which was the intention. Some concerns over the field size discrepancy but this seemed to the be the equalizer as both sides finished even. Great work today men. Always a pleasure working with you all. Anything to avoid the ascending bear crawl mercans that Snuff started last week. SYITG.

Moon-lit and bound for the stars, 12 souls strapped themselves to the NoToll rocket and prepared for launch in the spring gloom.

T-minus 40 side straddle hops, 10 Don Quixotes, dead man hangs, imperial squat walkers, etc.

Launch – parking lot 4 corners with 20 WW2s, 40 Rosalitas, 60 LBCs and 80 APDs.

Low earth orbit around the field to the pavilion for a triple check: run + 3 burpees, jump squats and merkins.

Orbiting to the middle of the field to admire the massive full moon and ponder our place in the universe. Breathe in, breathe out.

Slingshot orbit around the field to the bleachers for another triple check: run + 5 burpees, box jumps and heels to heaven. Pausing yet again to consider the paradox of how the breath is voluntary, yet involuntary.

Bound for Mars, finishing strong with 2 burnouts: parking space lunges with increasing 2-count ball dippers all the way to 10. Then, parking space bear crawl with increasing hand-release merkins all the way to 10.

Settling down to the surface of Mars with a mosey back to the flag. Prayers for Boberry’s father, prayers for Snuff’s stepfather-in-law.

Our journey at an end – Elon would be proud.

NMS: There was an admirable spirit among the PAX today, all game for whatever challenge came their way, all pushing against complacency to thrash their bodies into poolside readiness, and also some healthy competition among the teams. YHC had the pleasure of partnering up with Mousetrap today, who turned a little green during the final stretches of the Tennis Court beatdown, but held down the merlot all the same – way to push to the finish! Love starting the day with you guys. SYITG! ~DTH
