  • Death by 1,000 throws

    14 grown boys came out to Timberwolf this morning to play some Ultimate! Initially YHC thought we had 13 but Matlock emerged from the shadows like a ninja and suddenly appeared while we stretched.

    Moseyed down to the track to stretch. Gabe the mission and got right into it. Full length of the field and end zones were the full width of the field this time around.

    Team 1: Warby, Mudslide, Tzatziki, Fly Boy, Wildcat, Woodsman, The Duke

    Team 2: Crabgrass, Fandango, Festivus, Cookie, Matlock, Bru, Rudy

    Team 1 executed their playbook to perfection (think Patriots dink and dunk offense in the early 2000’s) and were able to pick apart Team 2 at will. Frustrating to defend but VERY effective. Team 2 showed some flashes of brilliance but struggled to get back on defense which led to their defeat. YHC will of course own the L.

    Team 1: 5 scores

    Team2: 2 scores

    ANNOUNCEMENTS

    • Memorial Day Convergence
    • Boys of Summer starts soon

    PRAYERS/WINS

    • YHC’s son graduates preschool today! Huge pay raise. Proud of you, Maddox.

  • “Its not the wand, but the wizard”

    That was the quote to start the day. Derived from the the Jr sized basketballs the Q brought to play knock out this morning. Ten strong kicked off the first basketball skills or lack of skills post of 2025.

    Rudy was crowned king of the day winning 3 of 5 rounds of knock out. Dumar and Flyboy capped off electric wins as well.

    Next, we broke into teams for 2 rounds of 3 shots each from the foul line and 3 point line. team 1 took the free throw victory with penalty navy seal burpees to the loosing team. Three point challenge was dominated by team 2, penalty navy seal burpees for team 1.

    Time called. numbers, names, PR, announcements. Rudy took us out in the COT.

    Congrats to Oysters son on his graduation from JMU and fingers crossed he finds a job. Keep Aisle 5 and Beaker in your thoughts for a speedy recovery. Big shout out to Rudys M for securing a great and appreciated role with Capital One.

    Always a pleasure leading you gents!!!

  • ULTIMATE (Drunk History Version)

    The weather is warmer, the sun is shining a little brighter in the morning which means only one thing – it’s ULTIMATE time. Swoop and Rudy co-lead the event but both have failed to sit down and record it for the pantheons of history to remember. No worries, iron sharpens iron – Crabby is here to pinch-hit. For those not familiar, Drunk History understands the passage of time often has a way of rewriting history. After Nancy’s cinder block-big rock beatdown, the details of yesterday are a bit fuzzy…

    Team 1 – Wildcat, Rudy, Fandango, Warby, Cookie, Mudslide, Flyboy

    Team 2 – Crabgrass, Tzatziki, Swoop, Matlock, Woodsman, Heist, Bobsled

    It should be said, Team 2 DOMINATED out the gates. For how long they dominated is up for debate.

    Low lights for Team 1:
    – Warby dropped the disc on goal line *FUMMBBBLLLEEEEEEE* and was sad when a turnover was called
    – Quiet game for Fandango, when Rudy is on his team and he can’t poke fun of him, he’s at a loss for words. 2 kickoffs out of bounds has me questioning things. TB12 fell off at 45 too
    – Rudy did not wear his VCU jersey which is good since it would’ve gotten grass stains on it. 2 critical drops today.
    – Flyboy literally had low lights since he failed to get the field lights turned on
    – Mudslide couldn’t outrun Swoop this time #csaup
    – Wildcat was the beacon of light for this team today
    – Cookie carried the team, I think because of high energy levels from hibernation and hitting the weight room

    High lights for Team 2:
    – Woodsman dominated the middle of the field, dude was everywhere!
    – Matlock took “tomahawk” quite literally, adjusting his throwing style to that of an axe throw, catching both the defense and his teammates off-guard
    – Bobsled – FNG from Green Mile showing up big this week and off to Honduras for a missions trip next week, guy is big time and glad to have him out there
    – Tzatziki we had a plan where he would take off and I’d hit him with a bomb down the sideline. It’s ready for when we need it
    – Swoop overcame his spin cycle demons and was making some great grabs out there.
    – Heist increased his catch rate by 150% from last time. Early contender for Comeback Player of the Year
    – Crabgrass is here to set the tone out there. We’re gonna go inside, we’re gonna go outside, inside and outside…

    We ran 2.30 miles while having a great time. Good to be out there having fun today, we are all looking forward to a fun-filled summer!

    Speaaaaaaaaaaaking of which – We will be doing an official F3 “Boys of Summer” competition at Timberwolf this summer, May 29th through August 28th. Details to come, but come out, compete, and win points and you may walk away with the Timberwolf 2025 Champion trophy!

  • prostitute that didn’t get paid

    COP a group of 8 hearty warriors showed for a good beatdown. We did a warmarama in the usual fashion with ssh’s, lbc’s, some stretching and the like. Then we did some dojo Dan with front/round kicks and a horse stance punch fest.

    THANG

    this was started with a merkin/jump squat/ssh/kb press 4 corner prost style but truncated when YHC realized it was taking to long to get to the promised kb wo.

    KB was a long list of old and new ex with a variety of reps and grouped in to 4 ex w a small break. We rolled through that list 2x with some mods to get our arms swoll. We sweat until time was called.

    COT was name/numberama, announce, prayer request and YHC brought us out.

    Gentlemen it was my honor to lead you all.

  • Rucking and Soul Crushing

    Twas the night before Timberwolf. YHC prepared the men stating get some rest, hydrate and bring gloves (Rudy). 2 bad ass ruckers and a 9 man PAX set off in the wee morning moonlight.

    Hats off to the ruckers who put 3 miles under their feet, with a half shuffle half ruck. We appreciate you all checking in on us on the track.

    The thang on the track. Short mosey from the flag to the track, watch out for the mud. A handful of stretches and the day was explained. Inspired by a video of a 305lb dude completing the hardest mile, I felt the PAX need to do this as well.

    The hardest mile. 4 laps around the track.

    Lap 1: Easy pace jog

    Lap 2: Bear crawl

    Lap 3: Lunge

    Lap 4: Broad jump burpees

    Time was called at the flag. Numbers, names, PR, announcements. Great work today gents!!

    Always an honor to lead you men.

  • Fly, Boy!

    I wish I had more time to give this backblast the TLC that it deserves but I’m currently sitting at Midlo High School, hooked up to my HotSpot and am getting ready to announce their game tonight. GO TROJANS!

    Long story short, FLY BOY NEARLY POOPED HIS PANTS!!

    WARMARAMA – Moseyed over to the bus loop, stretched out, gave the F3 mission and got into it.

    COP #1 – Ran the bus lines with a mix between running, Bernie, side shuffle and high knees.

    COP #2 – Lightpoles

    • Stopped at each lightpole and the PAX performed called excercises. About (8) stops along the way with QTY’s rising by 5 at each light. Returned back to the starting point after each exercise.

  • The message on the window

    6 HIMs came out to Timberwolf this morning, 3 chose rucking and 3 chose the bootcamp. It was foggy, humid, and a lot of running, but we got it done. The Q was not claimed, so we did a little hot potato full of triple checks!

    Round 1

    Triple check by Tzatziki: Merkins, squats, and the runner to the curb

    Triple check by Woodsman : Dips, toe taps, and the runner to the light pole

    Triple check by Mudslide: Lieutenant Dans, inchworms (with a merkin), and the runner to light pole

    Round 2

    Triple check by Tzatziki: Flutter kicks, LBCs, and the runner to the curb

    Triple check by Woodsman: SSH, Firecrackers, and the runner up the hill

    Not enough time for a second Triple check by Mudslide, so he took us out with some Broga in the rain.

    We met back up with the ruckers (TSG, Crabgrass, and FlyBoy) as time expired and TSG took us out. Timberwolf has been light the past two weeks but happy to be there and start the day off right!

  • Numbers, Annoucements, wait… GO F3!

    6 gloom warriors rolled into a dark, foggy & misty morning at Timberwolf. As Led Zeppelin says, “So I’m packing my bags for a misty mountain, where the spirits go now, over the hill where the spirits fly!” It’s 5:30, time for FlyBoy to make his decision; boot camp or ruck? YHC got excited when he saw the weighted vest emerge from the trunk of his car. Crabgrass joined for moral support. And we were off, 3 ruckers (Crabby, FlyBoy, TSG) and 3 boot campers! I don’t think anyone signed up for bootcamp Q, so I think they rotated, TSG took the ruckers.

    Ruckers made their way to the track for a little interval training, while the others went off to do their thang.

    The Rucker Thang

    1 mile interval: 400M shuffle/ 400M ruck / 400M shuffle/ 400M ruck

    4 corners mile of pain; start at corner 1- 5x overhead press (changed to merkins after a mighty struggle and complaints from the gallery of having to take weighted vest on and off). Shuffle to corner 2 for 5 squats, ruck to corner 3 for 5 jump squats, shuffle to corner 4 for 5 pickle dippers, ruck back to corner 1. 4x400M rounds going up 5 reps each round finishing with 20x reps per corner.

    We had about 7 min until 6:15, so we made our way over to Kitten Lip’s, I mean FlyBoys moms classroom where she said she left him a little note in the window. Sure enough, we rounded the corner and saw GO F3 in the window. Very cool. After that, we made our way back to converge with the bootcampers to wrap things up.

    COT

    • Count/ Namerama (Of course I forgot to do names, thanks for correcting me Crabgrass)
    • Announcements: CSAUP coming up- sign up!
    • Wins/ Prayer Request- Pray for all PAX, family and friends who may be facing challenging circumstances. Mudslide took us out.

    Enjoyed the company as always; F3 has truly changed my life around for the better and I’ll always be greatful for all of you. Thanks for continuing to push me to become a better man both physically and mentally. Look forward to the next one!

  • Reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated

    Here we go, back in the saddle. YHC was happy to find an open spot on the Q sheet. After months of travel and some down range posts, there is no place like home. Great to have FNG from Monday, Festivus, back out today. Woodsman was ready and waiting as the clock struck 530, Hermie and Dumar came in on 2 wheels at the bell. According to the trash man, here is what transpired.
    warmarama: 20 SSH waiting for Hermie, mosey to back of school for rest. 10 each: DQ’s, helicopters, squats, Ukrainian soldiers, merkins, LBC’s, Rosalita’s

    proper Lightpole alley: starting with 100 on each end and depending by 10. Squats, LBC, Merkins, calf raises, Drydocks, box cutters, SSH, and a few more that are known only by those that were there, besides me. That left 4 minutes to lunge, high knee and Andy Dufrane back at the flag.

    prayers to all those traveling for spring break. YHC took us out in prayer. Always an honor to lead! Lucky to lead.
