Five faithful came out to Twin Team to find mid 40s weather that felt downright balmy after yesterday. With YHC as Q we took off, as Rosie would note, to normal HD COP spot for:

SSH, Russian Soldiers, Don Qs, Merkins, & LBCs relocated to the parking lot. Mosey over to our normal Donkey Kick space to discover a wonderful new gift – 5 brand new benches sitting under the cover on the DK wall. With this newfound bounty we did:

4 Rounds of: 10 Box Jumps, run to middle of lot then 20 Merkins. Why not repeato: 4 more rounds of 20 Dips & 10 V-Ups. Finish our time on the new benches with 30 Derkins.

Over to stadium for some Zs: Run diagonal across field, 3 burpees, Bear crawl width of field to corner 3 more burpees. Run diagonal across again 3 more burpees & bear crawl back to start. 2nd round was 10 WWIIs at corners and lunge across rather than Bear Crawl.

Mosey over to mail parking lot: 20 Jump Squats at each of 6 lights with alternating run & bernie. Back to flag for some mary of: APDs, Reverse Crunches, Heels2Heaven, & Pickle Pounders. YHC took us out.

NMS: Strong PAX this morning. Rosie pointed out on the initial mosey to COP that YHC always does the COP on the field. Not sure if that is a good thing but YHC does like to Q out at Twin Team, she really is a great AO. YHC was hoping he could give a preview of his Stache to Gumbo this am but he seems to be prepping for Magnum PI day.

What a surprise it was to come over to the DK wall and find brand new benches to play with. Upon further inspection there are 5 of them, one for each PAX. Xmas seemed to come early to TT. The benches seemed to hold up well on their initial test run. Expect future Qs to play with those more, Doozy recommended Dual-partner-carry with one pax sitting on the bench while 2 pax hold each end and run around. Doublemint shared he is already a black belt Ju-Jitsu and now with his boxing training seems to be headed to a spot in the UFC sometime in 2021.

Annoucements: HDHH seems to be in the works on 12/16 or at least that week. Look for more details on Slack.

5 history buffs or possibly 4 history buffs and a math major that accidentally found himself in a history class today arrived at BW to see what YHC could learn them.

Mossey to the top of Twin Team for C.O.P.

DQ’s, Helicopters, Dead Man Hangs, Cherry Pickers and Imperial Walkers

As the story picks up from our last adventure the landing team goes in search of the Beast of Twin Team. To do this they must make a stop at each one of their trail markers as per the map.

On our way down the hill our adventurers had to look high and low kind of like Burpee Squat Jumpers (X6 ea) back up the hill to the start

Our fearless team did not see the Beast but they got knocked down kind of like American Hammers (X6 ea) back up the hill to the start

While our hero’s where already down they decided to look closer to the ground kind of like a merkin (X6 ea) back up the hill to the start

After that it was time to get back up kind of like a No Hostages (X6 ea) YHC was the only one not with bare knees this morning so the rest of the landing party decided to get back up more like Lung (X6 ea) back up the hill to the start

With time not on our side and wanting to get back to the ship before anyone lost their lives we decided to head BTTF but something happened and we all got knocked back down on the way kind of like Crab Cakes. Then from out of no where a loud roar was heard followed by the worst smell known by man or beast.

Did O.C. eat the Beast or just have something bad from Del Taco last night?? We may never know

At the flag and with some extra time the team had to make sure that the party was still alive kind of like Man Killers

NMS:

Lots of mumble chatter was heard when YHC turned right on the mossey to the COP leaving BW and even more when the curtesy stop was passed at the bottom of TT but once the glow sticks came out Sh%# got real. We had a great adventure and no one actually lost their lives but OC must have ate some road kill on the mossey over.

Five regulars and one visitor from the north made their way to the Twin Team gloom for a beatdown that went something like this:

Mosey to the Swamp

SSHs, DQs, Cherry Pickers (or collared pickers or whatever), Russian Soldiers, Sugar Sticks (aka Flutter Kicks), Freddie Mercury’s, LBCs

Names, Numbers, Announcements, Prayer Requests, YHC took us out.

Announcements:

• Thanksgiving Day convergence at Mary
• Black Friday run at Forest Hill Park – is there a Pre-blast for this somewhere?
• November merkin challenge is in full force – we got in somewhere around 110-115 merkins this morning
• Prayers for Don Draper’s dad and Spit’s aunt who are in the hospital with COVID
• Prayers for YHCs grandma and family

NMS:

YHC was looking to get a little bit of mileage in this morning. According to the watch, we got in 3 miles as part of the beatdown.

Nice to have Spit at Twin Team this morning as he continues on his personal tour.

Lots of chatter today. The complaints regarding the wetness of shoes and gloves during the Killer Bs was hilarious.

Today’s title quote comes from OC, who, immediately following COT, turned to Don Draper and said “We forgot to pray for your scrotum.” It really doesn’t get more title worthy than that.

Have a great Friday everyone!

Five dudes sought enlightenment in the gloom at Twin Team; here’s what they got instead:

Welcome FNG, disclaimer, oral indemnification, liability waiver and assumption of the risk agreements (legally binding and enforceable in all 50 states!)

Warmarama: IPR up Twin Team hill and back.

The THANG: mosey to the playground for some Murph. Ten rounds of

• 10 pullups OYO
• 10 merkins IC
• 15 squats IC

Mosey BTTF by way of a 400m detour around the Swamp for some cool down stretching.

Numbers, names, YHC took us out.

Announcements – final push for the shoe drive; bring ’em to Dogpile tomorrow! Prayers to lift up Offshore and his family with the passing of his MIL.

NMMS: YHC saw an open Q at Twin Team, noticed that it was the end of the month and figured it was time to start bringing back an old favorite. Tclaps to Greenbow for bringing out FNG Adam (Bagman). Coming out of the gates with a run up Twin Team hill and the Murph is no joke. Make it a great one, caballeros!

Doublemint

As YHC ran into the empty parking lot I wondered whether it would be a solo workout and I could just turn around and run home. About that time OC rolled into the parking lot on his bike. Seeing no car driving PAX would be showing up, we got on with a little hot potato back and forth Q.

Started us off with a warmup and then a couple rounds of pullups, dips, merkins, squats and flutters – 5,10,15,20,25 We rolled around to the track for some 4 corners with varying exercises and speeds – merkins, burpees, WWI, CDD, Monkey humpers, sprints, American Hammers… Tried a few runs up and down the bleachers but the lack of light made it a little precarious so we scrapped it after 3 times up and down. Back to the flag for some plankarama and stretching.

After the workout we had to make it home somehow so OC joined me for a trip up Twin Team and part of my run home. I think Twin Team is harder on a bike than running, all that Peleton work had OC cranking up the hill.

Good company this morning. Have a great day gentlemen.

2 stud muffin look a likes showed up at Twin Team today where YHC had planned to get in a History lesson on the Beast of Twin Team but with only a PAX of 2 thought that a lesson better left for a larger class.

Numbers/names

NMS: With only 2 PAX the exercises come at you quick so with YHC and Last Call both being runners there was a good bit of mosey to be had today. The other nice thing about such a small PAX is it gives you time to find out a bit more about that other person. While YHC was hoping for a bigger crowd this morning it was great to spend some time with Last Call. If you didn’t know this about Last Call one thing I learned about him this morning is he is definitely an outward focused person and askes more questions about you than he talks about himself. This is something I want to be better at and have not done a good job with yet. Thanks for hanging out with me and for being a good example of being an “other first focused person” Last Call.

3 Gloom warriors rolled out of the fart sack to see what challenges where offered this A.M.

Numbers/Names YHC took us out

NMS:

Last Call messaged me that he was not going to make it today so in honor of him (10) Burpies to start the morning off right. YHC was told the the merkins seemed a little excessive this morning but in the end Pain is Weakness leaving the body and the PAX of 3 pushed through.

Two years ago, Don Draper and Dr Tryhard showed up to NoToll without an invitation, welcomed by a huge PAX enjoying Ollivander’s VQ. Today, the happy couple announced their two year F3versary and happily applied a 3000 volt cattle prod to the PAX in the following manner:

The THANG:

DTH NMS:

Draper and YHC have been exceptionally blessed to call F3RVA our home the last two years. No finer brotherhood can possibly exist. Here’s to year #3 and MANY more! SYITG, YHC, DTH

DON DRAPER NMS:

• A message from Don Draper, a man of few words:  Large milestones have the ability to catch you off guard. That incremental step in the plethora of evolutions that led to that exact moment. Today is a celebration, not of the day itself, but to each and every moment that the brotherhood of F3 has pushed us to be just a little bit stronger, a little bit wiser, a little bit more humble. We’re thankful for each friendship and memory already built and those to come. Thanks to you gentlemen – we look forward to seeing each of you in the gloom.
