Tag: VR Dawg

The 2.0 and dog obliged YHC for something like a Murph with a few modifications. Strong work was put forward by the PAX.

Announcements: This will be the last VR Dawg (and the last F3 virtual beatdown) for now. If anyone has another F3 use for the Zoom account, feel free to ping YHC.

3rd F will continue on Zoom. The next one is Tuesday June 23rd at 8pm. Honeydo with the Q.

Don Draper logged in to prevent YHC’s crawl back to the fartsack for a beatdown that went something like this:

COP: SSHs, IWs, DQs IC

Optimus Prime: 7 sets of 7 reps of 7 exercises, with 20 Mountain Climbers on the side of each set to simulate running. Exercises: Diamond Merkins, Pickle Pounders, Touch Knees, WWIIs, Jump Squats, J Los, Burpees

American Hammers IC

COT

Announcements: HDHH tonight, 3rd F next Tuesday at 8pm, Tron next Monday at 5:30am, VR Dawg next Wednesday at 5:30am.

NMS: YHC wanted to try a virtual Beast, but rather than just slay the Beast, PAX went beyond towards perfection with an additional set, rep, and exercise.

It was great to have Don Draper back out in the virtual gloom. PAX agreed that intentional moving around is essential to maintain health while working remotely.

F3 Quiz of the Day: What two PAX members’ first and last names differ by only a single letter?

Answer: Don Draper and Doublemint

Two regulars posted for a Zoom gloom beatdown that went something like this:

1-minute mosey to the COP: SSHs, Merkins, Storm Squats, Scorpion Dry Docks, WWIIs, Lunges. You know what’s coming.

Lucky Horseshoe. One-minute run before each set of exercises, with 20 reps for each exercise:

1. Merkins
2. Merkins, Storm Squats
3. Merkins, Storm Squats, Scorpion Dry Docks
4. Merkins, Storm Squats, Scorpion Dry Docks, WWIIs
5. Merkins, Storm Squats, Scorpion Dry Docks, WWIIs, Lunges
6. Storm Squats, Scorpion Dry Docks, WWIIs, Lunges
7. Scorpion Dry Docks, WWIIs, Lunges
8. WWIIs, Lunges
9. Lunges
10. Victory Lap

PAX were probably on about lap 8 when the 33 minute buzzer went off, but completed the 9th round before 6:15.

COT

Announcements: HDHH on Zoom today at 6pm. Meeting ID: 822 7005 7337. PM for password or get the direct link on Slack. Tron next Monday at 5:30am, VRDawg next Wednesday at 5:30am, next 3rd F (needs a name!) June 9th at 8pm.

NMS: YHC borrowed Boberry’s Powerpoint innovation to help keep track of Lucky Horseshoe laps. Well, YHC’s picture of a Powerpoint slide, anyway.

Storm Squats were performed two-count. Scorpion Dry Docks were 10 single count each leg. Hopefully we can check in with Loose Goose to see if that is the proper accounting. YHC was probably not running a 4-minute mile pace on the 1-minute mosey, so comparisons to “official” Lucky Horseshoes are probably not possible, but this seemed to be a good beatdown to get the sweat flowing.

PAX agreed Kubota did a great job leading the 3rd F last night. As was mentioned then, PAX agreed that they are grateful for the culture of respect and encouragement that F3 RVA has maintained during the pandemic.

Mosey to the COP: Disclaimer, SSHs, IWs, DQs, Merkins, PPs, LBCs IC.

“Curb” crawl. 1 Derkin, Bear Crawl, 2 Merkins, Crawl Bear, up to 6 and back down to 1.

Announcements: HDHH today at 6pm on Zoom. Tron on Monday at 5:30am on Zoom. 3rd F next Tuesday at 8pm on Zoom.

NMS: Tclaps to Snitch for his second post in a week. Keep up the good work!

Snitch got his shoe stuck on the round 1 mosey of the Triple Check and was rescued by Boberry. We audibled to complete the exercises as a PAX. YHC took a spill on the deck during the first mosey to the COP. We may need to amend the disclaimer…

SYITG!

Eight men did not have to worry about the traffic on 95 this morning as they awake, likely stepped outside, took out their phones, tablets, or computers, and logged into another Zoom episode of VR-Dog. This was YHC’s first attempt at a virtual Q. This is his recollection of what occurred.

One minute mosey somewhere in close to your house.

• Tabata #5 – Side Plank moving hip up and down, one legged APDs, Other side Plan, other leg for APDs. – Had to cut this to 6 rounds.

Number-O-Rama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, YHC took us out.

NMS

Yesterday, YHC asked Offshore if he could take today’s Q. Knowing he wanted to do Tabata, YHC figured out that Fitbit has an online Tabata tracker with sound. What was discovered during the bootcamp was that the Tabata tracker’s sound did not work well or at all when shared through Zoom. Still, it changes colors between red, green, and yellow what worked well.

Another observation from YHC was how much noise you make as Q during the Virtual COP. YHC is just happy there was no complaining from the neighbors. If they can see me, I’m sure their wondering why YHC is counting out loud to nobody.

Thank you Offshore and Boberry for taking the lead in setting up another F3 option during the lockdown. This has been awesome.

For the Daville Merkin challenge, there were around 270 Merkins and 75 Burpees for a total of 345. (This number depended on how many merkins and burpees were completed during Tabata but its likely close.)

Announcements

• Tomorrow is Corned Beef’s one year F3 Anniversary. His planned takeover week will take place later in the summer after the lockdown.
• Happy Hour on Zoom at 6 pm tonight. See Offshore’s preblast.
• Davillians will have a Memorial Day bootcamp at Hanover Wayside Park where there is the Hanover Veterans memorial. Our plan is to return to the Brown’s Island Memorial Day convergence next year once we can gather in larger numbers again.

It was an hour to lead the Virtual Bootcamp today. Stay Safe everybody!

Gotta Run,
