  • Like Old Times!

    3 East End F3 elders emerged from the chilly gloom for a session of Camp Beaver(nothing special, just a little stuffed Beaver mounted on the hood, some music to work out to and a deck of F3 cards). Let’s mosey!

  • Bucking Tradition

    Given the option of a traditional beatdown vs. some stupid fun, the answer was obvious.  Six men did the following.

    Collect all equipment and mosey back to Flag

    Numberama, Nameorama, COT

    MOLESKIN

    As YHC posed the question for a traditional workout or some games, Blue Moon was the lone holdout for traditional F3, while the majority was all in for some fun.  Due to the PAX’s ineptitude many merkins and squats were performed, nonetheless.  YHC isn’t much of a pitcher so the homer tally was few, but kudos to Trout and Spit for showing real power.  Anyone know the precise measurement of water for a regulation bottle flip?  Asking for a friend.  Thanks for the warm welcome.  Keep touring.

    ANNOUNCEMENTS

    2.0 workout at DaPile tomorrow 0700

    The Tour ’24 continues

  • School of ROCK!

    A hearty gaggle of HIM’s & 2.0’s gathered after Rock&Roll’s COT to kick off the first “School of Rock” bootcamp for 2.0’s. With M’s in tow capturing pics and vids of the shenanigans, here’s how the Pediatrician on Q gave the rabble a fun little beatdown:

    The THANG:

    WARMERAMA:

    • Mosey out of vehicular harms way and circle up
    • Welcome & Disclaimer
    • Variable IC Reps to get the muscles warm top to bottom

    COP #1:

    • Mosey to the basketball court and line up for a fan favorite- ANIMAL MOVES?
    • Court crossed in variable fashion: bear crawls, bunny hops, crab walking, froggy leaps, horse trotting, etc

    COP #2:

    • Mosey to next basketball court and line up for variable reps with court run between sets
    • Merkins, Squats, Monkey Humpers, Flutters, etc

    COP #3:

    • Mosey around to the parking lot
    • FRISBEE FETCH: Again honoring the Q’s 17 years of marriage, the PAX chased the frisbee and whoever was first there called x17 reps of a given exercise. Plenty of rounds enjoyed.

    COP #4:

    • Mosey over to the grass hill
    • Animals again the theme for going up and down the hill – Crabwalk, Bearcrawl, Slithering snakes, and Alligators

    COP #5:

    • Stop at the wall and hold People’s Chair then into Hoedown’s IC, then Incline Merkins IC, then Donkey Kicks IC

    COP #6:

    • Mosey to the playground for a TRIPLE CHECK – dips, SSH’s, and runner traverses the playground structure
    • Close out with the PAX practicing balance walking the entire circuit of the lower playground wall 

    COT:

    • Counterama # 18.5+ish
    • Namerama
    • Announcerama (see Comments)
    • YHC took the PAX out in Prayer

    NMS:  Great numbers for our first SOJ 2.0 bootcamp and a fun time had by all, of course with some regular complaints and mockery, which was greatly appreciated. Props to SEADOO’S barely 2yo who nearly kept up with the PAX, now nicknamed “Wild Thing”. And shoutout to BB8 for calling x17 Burpees during the frisbee fetch (ouch!). And a special nod to YHC’s firstborn OREO for a Heartburn worthy wipeout admirably getting after the frisbee! Also want to thank JUANITA (a mule for his M who actually gets the credit) for bringing delicious sliced oranges for the playground picnic that followed our COT. There were quite a few FNG’s out there who won some solid nicknames. We’ll be running School of Rock every month after R&R for a while so hopefully the little tikes actually remember their names! Haha. For YHC, with gorgeous M and two spitfire 2.0’s killin the workout alongside their old man, it made for a beautiful way to celebrate 17 years of marriage. Hip Hip HAZZAHHH!!!  ~DTH

  • After We Run, We Paddle

    4 Pax declined the lure of the dinner time Couch Sack and cast off for an evening paddle. Two came from home; two from the prior workout. Conditions: flat water, good river camaraderie, 70/sunny.

    According to the teenagers jumping into the swimming hole, here’s most likely what happened:

    Route: East/southeast on the James (downstream). UPC estimates 8500 lateral feet. Return by similar route against the modest current. Workout time ~1.5 hours. ~3 miles.

    NMS: solid chatter, great conditions, super sunset, and the PAX choice of ice cold malted adult beverages. This was living correctly. Thank you, gentlemen, for talking YHC into a double workout this evening.
