Seven dad’s linked up to ruck for an hour. No, there was not a particular route planned, and No, the route shape doesn’t mean anything (though Purple Rain suggested Human Caterpillar). Many fine topics were discussed. Prayers for NTB’s upcoming babymoon trip to Cali and for all the families launching into a new school year. Yours, DTH

The park today decided to not open the gates till after 7, which for us plus other who were getting there early for dog park and other activities was annoying. 8 of us braved the humidity(decided to make its return big time) come out for a Mudslide Q. It’s been a little time since I led but in my mind, had it planned what’s to come… Over to the secondary basketball court for the WARMARAMMA (SSHs, Dead Man Hands, Ukrainian Soldiers, Michael Phelps, Merkins, LBCs, a little more stretching). It was time to take off on the adventure… First part,…
YHC was back at Rockwood Park for the first time since June. Not too much had changed other than the gates weren’t unlocked. 5am rolled around and it was time for the solo act in Premature Acceleration. 2 mile warmup run, then 1 mile with the weighted vest. Then 3 sets of 10 hollow rocks at the monkey bars on the kids playground. Then 6 sets of 5 deficit merkins between the cindies, broken up by a few farmer’s carries. Then 3 more sets of hollow rocks, followed by a few more sets of deficit merkins broken up by farmer’s…
Big Rig was completing things, I showed up and the gates were locked(irritated) which they are unlocked why they are locked at this time beyond me. The 2 of us ventured my idea was 3 laps around the park, stop.. a round of BLIMPS… then another 3 laps. We took off, going at a pretty good clip I was hanging with Big Rig cause between the 2 who’s the runner(he is). We had to go down and round the gates after 3 laps, time to do BLIMPS(burpees, lunges, imperial walkers, merkins, plank jacks, squats). We were soaked after the blimps…
6 Rva Olympians came to represent their region at the 1st annual F3 Olympic Decathlon! Chaplain was about half way through the warm-up tour and commented “this is alot of running” – indeed Chap, indeed… 10 stations and a mile of running total in between for each lap made for a smokeshow at Goyne Hard today. The cheering crowds witnessed the following displays of strength and endurance… 10 Stations – Run in between (See map) – 1 mile total round trip 20 Reps at each station #1 – Decline Merkins (Stadium Stairs) #2 – KB Swings #3 – Cindy Curls…
Rain, sleet, snow or tornado warning…NO DAYS OFF! 6 grown boys got after it this morning and braved the storm at Satan’s Hill! WARMARAMA – Moseyed to the bottom of the hill and back. Skipped over the F3 mission this morning as the PAX was full of grizzled F3 vets. Jumped into it with…SSH’s, Dead Man Hang, LBC’s, Rosco’s Mom, Merkins, Wilson’s Wife and Fudd’s Wife. The THANG – YHC was torn between implementing a traditional Build a Beast or another variation of it. After a quick brainstorm with the PAX, we decided to mix it up! COP #1 -…

13 grown boys went out and played in the rain today. WARMARAMA – Moseyed to the bus loop. Circled up, gave the F3 Mission and got into it…SSH’s, Dead Man Hang, Imperial Walkers, Ukrainian Soldiers, Helicopter, Merkins, Wilson’s Wife and Fudd’s Wife. The THANG – The PAX split into three teams but were also asked to keep track of their individual scores as well. YHC and Futon had big plans for this Olympics-style workout but we were quickly humbled by the time limit, rain and math that was required. Here’s what the PAX was able to squeeze in… COP #1…
