  • Something Old, Something New…Might Need A Redo

    17 men rose up and met the challenge of the audible and didn’t really know what to make of it, or were just flat out pissed.

    A bit of history:  YHC’s last post was (sadly) August 30, 2017 and last Q was (even sadder) January 24, 2015.  So when YHC saw his name on the Q list for today’s No Toll, it seemed like a good opportunity to break free from the fartsack and get back into working out.

    Back on September 4, 2018 at 2:09 pm, BT signed up to Q today’s No Toll under the name “Conspiracy” in an effort to disguise an “Old Glory” workout.  This is not unprecedented, as Loose Goose similarly disguised his “Lucky Horseshoe” workout on October 29, 2015.  It just happened to be a coincidence that YHC was planning on posting today to Heartbreak Ridge, but called an audible when seeing the Q sheet (#YearOfBalance).  Hence, the illusive Conspiracy Q.  And with a non-traditional F3 workout in store for today, it rightly left some stank in the air.

    The workout was inspired by the F.B.I.’s release of a fitness app to help applicants practice the fitness test.  It’s a true you-vs-you workout against the clock, in camaraderie with fellow F3 brethren to help push to maximum potential, and with an option to see how your scores match up with fitness standards across the world. And while we do have workouts that serve as benchmarks (ie Old Glory and Lucky Horseshoe), the hope was this workout would allow us to benchmark our performance against ourselves and others (if desired), something that we can’t easily do with Old Glory and Lucky Horseshoe.

    The PAX grabbed hold, somewhat reluctantly, but pushed through the challenging workout.

    Here was the good work for the morning:

    • 1 minute of sit-ups
    • 300m run (which was closer to 500m)
    • Continuous push-ups
    • 1.5 mile run

    Form for the sit-ups and push-ups were essential if you want to compare performance on the scoring scale.  Otherwise, you’re comparing apples to oranges.  Well, and good form is just….a good thing.

    YHC was in the back of the pack.  Why?  Because there’s something about crossing over 40, raising an 1.5 yr old, and a demanding, high-intensity job that caused F3 (and any other workout) seem to be too far a stretch for the last 2 years. Therefore, YHC is working towards #YearOfBalance, where the focus shifts back to taking care of myself so I can best take care of my family.  A key component of that is working out.

    And while the mutiny was held off after the 2nd event, it was not unwarranted.  Being called out for not running the 300m with the group was a violation of F3 principles (#Clipboarding), even if it was to help the group.  YHC did stay late to finish the 300m with a paltry time of 71 seconds.  I’m sure with the push of the group, that would have been a little faster.

    So let’s sum up today:

    • Good intentions ✅
    • Hard Workout (as hard as you made it) ✅
    • Change is hard ✅
    • Mistakes were made  ✅
    • Sinner ✅

    I leave you with these questions:  What’s good enough?  Are you happy with your efforts in life?  Are you where you want to be?  And what is your measure of success in fitness and in life?

    See you tomorrow at WDog.  And for anyone who still tastes the lingering stench, come join me for a cup o’ joe afterwards and we can talk it through…my treat.

    Conspiracy

    #YearOfBalance

    NMS:

    Great crew this morning for another great morning on the NoToll fields.  We logged some miles and got some pain in as well.  Rosie has a springboard on his back and can crank out WWII sit ups like nobody’s business.  He smoked the 4-corners.  Flange was right on his heels.

    Great to have Dr. Tryhard and Draper back out.  Hope you guys are settling in to being regulars like Doozy appears to be doing.  Great job.

    Have a great day men.  Remember – exercise some patience with someone today!

    No More Gumbo For You!

     

  • Inaugural Beatdown

    22 brave warriors (including 2 FNG’s) arose out of the fart sack to be a part of YHC’s inaugural beatdown at No Toll.  According to legend, it went something like this:
    COP:  20 SSH, IC; 20 Imperial Walkers, IC; 15 LBC’s, IC; 10 Merkins, IC; 5 Burpees OYO
    Thang 1:  Mosey to field by the hut.  Do 2 merkins, run to the other side of field, do 2 LBC’s, run back.  Repeato, increasing by 2 reps each time until you get to 10.  Plank hold until all in.  Do the exercise again, except this time with Plank Jacks and Monkey Humpers.
    Thang 2:  Mosey to the other field and partner up for a Dora.  100 Merkins, 200 LBC’s, 300 Squats. Plank hold until all in.
    Thang 3:  Mosey to the basketball court for exercise suicides.  Run to 1/4 court line + 2 Burpees then back, 1/2 court line + 2 Burpees then back, 3/4 court line + 2 Burpees then back, and Baseline + 2 Burpees then back.  Al Gore until all in.  Repeato except this time with 2 two count Mountain Climbers at each line.  Al Gore until all in.  Repeato again except this time with 10 Merkins at each line.  Al Gore until all in.
    Thang 4:  We wrapped it up with some Mary: Flutter kicks, Alabama Prom Date, Freddie Mercury’s, & 6 inches.
    Mosey back to the flag.  Number-rama, Name-a-rama, Announcements.  Viral took us out with an extra prayer for Lab Rat and his family.
    NMS
    I appreciated all the support from the PAX for my maiden voyage.  It was great leading all you men today.  But the morning was not without my rookie mistakes, which the PAX made sure I knew about.  This included my voice cracking while calling out the exercise (apparently I’m still going through puberty), calling for a Proper Dora when it should have just been a regular Dora, mixing up Fudd’s Wife and Wilson’s Wife while planking (my apologies to you and your M’s), and calling out Alabama Prom Date but then doing Hello Dolly.  Lastly, my phone’s recorder cut off during Name-a-rama, so if I left anyone out please let me know.  All things for me to fix for my next queue this Thursday at 45 MOM.
    A special thanks to BT, Lab Rat, Flipper, and Shakedown who traveled down especially for this beatdown.  BT commented on what a strange and foreign land this is here south of the river.  We also welcomed 2 FNG’s (Try Hard and Don Draper).  Afterwards, several PAX felt we could do better than the name Try Hard, so we reserve the right to rename him at his 2nd workout as long as this isn’t a violation of the naming rules (TYA????).
    Overall I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the past year with F3 and I’m very grateful for all of you guys!

  • What time do you want to start?

    First, YHC hopes everyone in F3 nation is safe after yesterday’s crazy weather in RVA.

    YHC arrived to No Toll this morning to complete darkness…parking lot lights broke!!! 0520, YHC only one present…..and than by 0530, 14 F3 Soldiers arrived to start the day off right. YHC’s watch light is questionable at times so with the darkness came DK and Rosie,  who asked The Q, “Flatline, what time do you want to start?” YHC loves this peanut gallery…0530 and a few seconds……time to mosey!!

    COP….x25 Box Cutters, x20 Freddie Mercuries, x 15 Flutter Kicks, x 30 SSH, x 25 Copperhead Squats, x 20 Arm Circles (Forward), x20 Arm Circles (Backward), x 20 Imperial Walkers…..time to mosey over to shelter at soccer fields.

    Triple Check (Good Ole Fashion)…..partner 1=Merkins, partner 2= dips, partner 3=runs across soccer field, x 20 Freddie Mercuries and back. Switch, and repeat. Gotta love triple checks….it is just a great go too!!! Next….

    Relay Race. YHC divided teams up in two….attempt to be even. Team 1 and Team 2 mosey to opposite end of soccer fields away from the parking lot. Each team mate planking while a team mate is running to touch small soccer goals. Wilson F’d everything up by starting earlier and easily having 100 yard head start…..he was Team 1. Team 1 finished ahead of Team 2 by same distance as Wilson cheating….so YHC did not declare a winner!! A little competition never hurt anyone!! Mosey to the basketball courts.

    Form a line on the end line and PAX assumes the Bear Crawl position. Bear Crawl Run around the basketball court with last man bear crawling to the front-YHC stated 5 laps but with 1 lap completed and PAX mumbling in disbelief, audible called…..reverse it but with lunges in reverse and front PAX member running backwards to the end of the line to retrace the route just crawled! 2 laps completed!!

    Dora-cides. Partner up. Partner 1 runs normal suicides. Partner 2 performs x 200 Flutter kicks. Switch, repeat until completion. Exercise 2, x 200 Squats. Exercise 3, x 200 Freddie Mercuries. 2 Minutes to spare and the PAX let YHC know it, too.

    Merkin Positions. IC x 10 Merkins and IC x 5 HR Merkins. 0615=DONE!!

    Numeber-ama, Name-r-ama, Announcements: Convergence at Dogpile this weekend. Dogs and Kids.

    YHC took us out!!

    NMS-YHC needs a new watch to see in the dark. DK and Rosie, thank you for the verbal que to start.  As for the relay race, there was a more formal way to tag out but Wilson had to cheat to start off….F3 PAX members love a little competition!! Good to see Sugar Sock back in The Gloom!! YHC has to admit leading a Q a week hopefully doesn’t leading to boring workouts!

    Oyster has speed!!

    All is right with F3 RVA as 14 regular SOJ men posted this morning!!

    Men, we are blessed so never take it for granted!!  In darkness, this PAX shines light!!

    Thank you for following this morning.

    Loud and Proud,

    Flatline

     

  • 14 Remember 17

    Today is a tragically special day in our country’s history. A yearly reminder of our strengths and vulnerabilities.  A yearly reminder of just how lucky we are, and just how quickly that can all change. In attempt to honor all those who made the ultimate sacrifice seventeen years ago on 9/11/01, we gathered in unity to begin our day grateful for the opportunity.

    05:30 – In a sign of solidarity, all F3RVA PAX members carried shovel flags at their respective AOs. No Toll (14 PAX strong) ran a 1/2 mile lap around the grass fields.

    COP: Helicopters – 9 / Burpees – 11 / LBCs – 13 / SSHs – 50

    Shorly before 9:00 a.m. on 9/11/01, two planes at the hands of terrorists flew into the Twin Towers. In rememberance of those who sacrified as a result of those senseless acts, we performed (Twin) Tower 11s. YHC didn’t do a great job explaining this, so here it is, hopefully better explained. Each PAX member secures two parking spaces, side by side. Starting at the base of the first parking space, perform exercise A (10 Merkins). Bear crawl to the top of the that space, bear crawl sideways to adjoining space, crawl bear back down to base of second space and perform exercise B (1 Carolina Dry Dock). Repeato until 11s are completed.

    At roughly 9:30 a.m. hijackers flew a third plane into the Pentagon. We took time to reflect on those members of the Pentagon community who sacrified it all for our freedoms. Pentagon. Partner up. Partner A runs backwards from one end of the parking lot to the other. 1 burpee at the far end. Regular run back to Partner B who was performing WWIIs. Switch and repeato 5 times. YHC forgot to call ascending burpees with each lap, but we got in 5 burpees on lap 5.

    Shortly after 10:00 a.m. a fourth plane crashed into a field in Shanksville, PA. We later learned that plane was headed for Washington, D.C., but for a brave, ultimate and unified sacrifice given by civilian passengers aboard that plane. The PAX circled up in the grass field, and in honor of those lives selflessly given, performed Whatchamacallits. 1 merkin / 4 air presses all the way to 10 merkins / 40 air presses.  Respect paid the best way we could here, with a bonus set of 13 merkins and 50 air presses – representing our American Flag and all that it stands for.

    Unison lap (bro code just doesn’t sound right on this day) with the flag around the grass field, then back to the flag. Dying cockroaches x 11 / 9 Burpees OYO.

    PAX took us out.

    Announcements:  4 year anniversary – 9/22    Puppy Pile 9/29

    YHC decided to change things up a bit today. As kids we recited the Pledge of Allegiance every day at school. I’m not sure we really paid attention to its words and meaning, but we said it. Today, in unison, with our hands over our heavy hearts, we recited the Pledge of Allegiance on our way out. Reminding ourselves of all the sacrifices made, freedoms given, and the ability to get up each morning and gather as we do because of those sacrifices. Nealry 3,000 people died on 9/11, without warning. YHC for one trys to remind myself of this daily, but it’s hard, and often forgotten how fragile it all really it is.

    As we go forward today, I leave the words of the Pledge of Allegiance for you to read, recite and truly ponder. YHC humbly believes we owe it to all those who sacrificed for our right to do so. So the next time you want to hit the snooze button or stay in bed, think instead about getting out of bed and posting in honor of those who no longer can.

    “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

    Res Ipsa Loquitur – The Beatdown Speaks For Itself

  • No Visitors for the Ghost Flag…No Problem, we’ll just do an Old Glory

    14 SOJ redwoods rose for the occasion and to defend the Ghost Flag against any and all comers.  There were none, but we were ready nonetheless.  So, while YHC had a variation of an Old Glory in mind for the Ghost Flag competition, given that home turf didn’t need defending, I decided we would just do the good old fashioned Old Glory itself….always a crowd pleaser and it has been a while.

    Getting right down to business, YHC grabbed Old Glory and took off for the fields in the back of NoToll.  This was the first Old Glory for a handful of guys – Doozy (of course), Slim Shady and maybe Cerano and Beaker.  Maybe for others also  as I didn’t see Posh, Olivander or Flatline listed on the spreadsheet — although that could just be that history has not been recorded.

    Gents, this is truly a You vs. You workout.  What is also great about Old Glory is that you can see results.  I forgot to everyone’s laps, so click on the Google Sheet below and add your own or leave it in the comments and I will update the spreadsheet.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Dx2qsu9vXun_NFgeD0GDKwQ6G2f5a-AKQq4IYk2eAJY/edit?ts=570f9ddd#gid=1836884263

    We finished with Indian Run style for our last mile and then a few minutes of Mary and some variety tempo Freddie Mercuries to close it out.

    COT, COR, NOR and YHC took us out.

    Announcements:

    • BRR is this weekend.  The F3RVA team is strong is going to kill it…as long as they don’t let Saab behind the wheel!
    • F3RVA 4-year anniversary coming up, Saturday, September 22 at Dogpile – workout at 0600.  Run/Race (maybe teams?) at 0700 and Fellowship/cookout at 0800 — In the FALL (if that is what we are in) it is never too early on a Saturday morning to crack open a beer and fire up the grill!
    • CSAUP 10/20 — running and more running…Wilson’s dream day.
    • The Ghost Flag will be up for grabs again soon…stay tuned.

    NMS:

    First and foremost, it was hot, it was muggy and the fields of NoToll were wet…so, in other words, all was right in the world.  The sprinklers provided optional relief from the heat if you so chose and left some serious muddy spots to watch out for.  Olivander found the drainage area earlier on.  After that who cares right?

    It was great to get a few miles in and work the body out along the way.  I hoped the few BRR guys would pace themselves and leave some in the tank for Thursday and then Rosie and Honeymoon left the group in the dust.  Well done fellas.

    FNG-Eric (Doozy) came in on foot.  Impressive for an FNG.  Running is definitely not a weakness for Doozy.  He is from Charlotte originally but he’s been in RVA for 5 years.  He recently started training for a Spartan and when he looked up “how to train” the interwebs pointed him to us. Welcome Doozy – way to push through the Old Glory.  We look forward to see you back out soon and to helping you do more than just train for a Spartan.

    Great job this morning men.  Thanks for posting.

    No More Gumbo For You!

  • Why are Overhead Claps so hard

    8 faithful hit the gloom and the humidity head on for a beatdown at NoToll.  The PAX was expecting Sugar Sock but he is sick and requested a sub for the day so YHC was happy to step up.

    Mosey to the field for a warm up of DQ, Helicopters, IW, Annie, LBC.

    To the end line for a Quarter Pounder (abs) – Run to 25, do 25 WWI, Backward to the start, To the 50, 50 Box Cutters, Backward to start, to the 75, 75 Freddie Mercuries, Backward to start, to the 100, 100 Flutter Kicks, Backward to start.

    Catch me if you can – P1 5 burpees run to catch P2, P2 bear crawl – swap for the length of the field.  Repeato with lunges.

    Quarter Pounder #2 (arms) – 25 Hand Release Merkins, 50 Alternating Shoulder Taps, 75 Carolina Dry Docks, 100 Overhead Claps

    Back to the basketball courts for Suicide Ladders – run to foul line, do 5 American Hammers at the baseline, increase by 5 each time you hit the baseline, 5, 10, 15, 20.  Repeat with merkins and Monkey Humpers

    Mary – Dollies, APD, 1-leg APD, Rosalitas

    DK and Olivander had some good discussion, that YHC mostly missed, about life across the pond now that DK is back from a 3 week trip to sunny England.  Beaker is back and hitting it hard, even when 2/3 of the New Market crew bails on him early in the morning.  Wanted to try a flying EH on the couple with the toddler in the stroller at 540 am but we held off.  The all arms QP was tough and 100 OH claps after the 75 CDD was a killer.  Thanks for sticking with it guys.  Next time QP #3 will be legs but after a couple days of running YHC wanted to save the legs.

    Great to get in a good sweat and some fellowship this morning.

    Labor Day Convergence at Three Lakes Park

    CSAUP on October 20

    NMS:

    Ever since playing Sharks and Minnows at the last Puppypile, YHC has been wanting to do a modified version at a regular F3 workout.  So, in honor of YHC’s 2.0 Pikachu, who injured himself playing it at Puppypile (but not too seriously, the kid has a low tolerance for pain),  Sharks and Minnows made an appearance at No Toll. The modified version was not as easy as YHC thought.  Hardywood showed off a crabwalk flip to avoid being tagged while Sugar Sock bear crawled like a spider monkey.  The sprints weren’t any easier.  Oyster moved with speed YHC didn’t know was possible and Posh was faking left and rights all over the place.

    The entire PAX crushed the BOMBS and to YHC’s surprise, there a few minutes remained. No better time than to try out some deconstructed burpees.

    YHC wants to thank the PAX for humoring him this morning with the modified Sharks and Minnows.  …It will show up again.

    Well done this morning, fellas! As always, it was a privilege to lead such an awesome group of men.

    Well where does YHC start?  It was a long night.  YHC was up for most of the night dealing with a Ghost Truck.  My Silverado’s exterior and interior lights kept coming on and turning off shining through my bedroom window.  What a pain.  YHC could not figure it out.  Started truck, moved truck several times and no luck.  YHC turned truck around so lights would not shine on my house or neighbor’s house and went to sleep finally (2am)!  Woke up at normal time, got in truck and CLICK, CLICK, CLICK!  No good!  Hop into M’s mini-van and head to No Toll.

    Great to see the SOJ PAX ready to work this morning.  Welcome back, Gumbo!  YHC hopes we didn’t mess up the one field that had obviously just been aerated and seeded.  Hope the grass grows!  Wheelbarrows were tough, but thanks to Oyster, YHC was able to make it to the end.  Way to work to all on that one!

    Many thanks to the SOJ PAX for letting YHC come lead this morning!  YHC spared you all the coupons!  It may have been because of Gumbo!

    YHC arrived back home, jumped his truck and started off to work and noticed the A/C was blowing out heat!  Windows down for 45 minutes to work.  YHC’s truck is screwed up!

    Have a great Tuesday all!
