    COT: Hitchhiker took us out. Requesting prayers for all the F3 folks out on IR and those with unspoken needs. Prayers to Cornbeef’s mom who may have had a stroke. We pray for a speedy and full recovery.

    NMS: Hitchhiker is bringing coffee and reimbursing folks for Tolls. He is on a mission to make WDog great again. It’s always been great Hitch, let’s remind folks. Wedding Singer crossed the river this morning. Last time Wedding Singer was at WDog the Carillon did not have a fence around it. (Yea that long ago.). Great job today, Men. Thank you for letting me lead.

    Announcement:
    The Frozen Triangle – This Saturday.

    Who’s up for a February Monthly Challenge? Mile a Day?

    Make today Great!
    Oyster

  • (Preblast) Oyster is crossing the river to Q at WDog!

    Coffee will be provided after the workout.

  • Make WDog Great Again Project!

    It looks like a crispy cold weather tomorrow morning around 28 degree. Mosey through the Park Dr, Pump House Dr., and the Carillon tower (~ 1 mile) to the COP #1.

    The COP #2:

    • Round 1: Run around the field with 10 merkins at each corner
    • Round 2: Run around the field with 20 SSH at each corner
    • Round 3: Run around the field with 30 jump squats at each corner

    • Round 1: bear-crawl to the corner, run down the hill, 20 WWII, and run up the hill

    Mosey back to the flag.

    During the workout, numerous ideas were discussed regarding the subject above as follows:

    • Continue to build the core group member at WDog
    • Preblast in Slack and active communication via text among the core group would be goo
    • WDog’s business card and poster
    • The site Q need to make the shovel flag
    • The start time is discussed

    YHC will put some of items into action and send out a survey form by the end of week to gather more ideas and thoughts.

    Bleeders reminded us that people from NC mentioned that WDog/Dogpile is probably one of the best AOs throughout the country. Thanks!

  • Solitary Workout

    YHC ran around the park.

  • Three Wise Men

    YHC is not 100% sure that anything F3 does on a regular basis is wise but 3 men where present at WDog this morning to help YHC gather Intel for Saturdays convergence.

    Sitting in the truck at 5:28 YHC was thinking it was going to be a solo beatdown this morning. With seconds on the clock Hitchhiker rolls in and away we mosey to the circle. On the way we notice a car that we do not recognize pulling up next to our cars. Moments later Bodos brings the count to a perfect triple check number.

    NMS:

    YHC was glad to see Hitch and Bodos this morning because it would have been really hard to get out of the truck without some accountability partners.

  • Just YHC and Hitch talkin family

    NMS:

    I am so glad Hitchhiker showed up, we had a great conversation about kids, school and how to deal with that as a parent. I can barely speak English let alone any other language, T-Claps to Hitch for being a great family leader, Dad, Husband and friend. Thanks for hanging out with me and getting in some 2nd F while we enjoyed the 29 deg, I mean 70 and sunny weather.

    Great way to start the day BT enjoyed it brother, way to work . Hope to see the rest of the WDOG crew back soon.

    See y’all in the gloom!

  • Two Dogs

    Party of two WDog regulars emerged from the pouring rain of last night to take on the morning. At first it was just YHC and then with not a minute to spare Hitch arrived. YHC was grateful to have a partner to talk with this morning.

    It was a light workout day but a good conversation day. Mosey on out to the nickel bridge, light exercises at each post, then mosey back up behind the park, more light stretching at each light pole, then on back to the flag for some continuation of stretching.

    Good morning to reflect on careers and future plans, and discuss the world as we know it. Good time this morning.

  • Eye of the Storm

    5 guardians of Byrd Park (including an old salt revisiting his old stomping grounds) arrived to a glorious and quiet fall morning to see what the replacement Q had in store. Creativity was attempted, and it went something like this:

    COP:

    Mosey to the amphitheater circle for:

    Imperial Walkers x 10, Helicopters x 10, Abe Vigoda’s x 10 (plus x6 for LIFO), Copperhead Squats x 10, Merkins x 10 and Flutter Kicks x 15

    THANG:

    Descend to the Amphitheater floor for Elevation. Each PAX starts on a step at the western end of theater. Perform Merkins x 2, Bear Crawl to other end, perform another Merkins x 2. Ascend one step and return to the other side via Crab Walk, performing 2 Merkins on either end. Ascend one more step and do the same only with Lunges. Ascend to the top of amphitheater repeating this pattern.

    Mosey to Carillon Field for Eye of the Storm:

    Start in the center of the field. Burpees x 5 then run to a corner, perform the following exercises, and back to the center until all 4 corners completed. Also, perform burpees x 5 upon each return to center.

    Corner 1: Merkins x 20

    Corner 2: Smurfjacks x 10

    Corner 3: Flutter Kicks x 20

    Corner 4: LBC x 20

    Mosey to circle just west of the Carillon for Double Check. One PAX runs to Penny Stage while partner stays and performs exercise. Exercises were Merkins and LBCs.

    On way back to flag detour to the Rusty Cage for Pull-ups x 5. Return to Flag for COT, announcements. YHC took us out.

    Announcements:

    Best of luck to many PAX running this weekend. Also, tons of challenges going on so check Slack (merkins, burpees). Vinny is leading the Bridge Saturday; if you can go, it’s a great experience.

    NMS:

    6 extra Abe Vigodas were for an almost-never Faceplant who was a slight LIFO. Lucky for him YHC is a creature of habit and doesn’t stray far from COP locales. Half-baked theme was to honor our brother Snuff who had to give up the Q and who, risking life and limb, is on his way into the eye of the storm for work in Florida. Godspeed, Snuff! Turned out to be a perfect morning weather wise. May need to tweak the Elevation portion of the workout as Crab Walks in the amphitheater are murder on shoulders. By my count, challenge credits were 45 Burpees and 120 ish merkins. Get out there and win the day, boys!

    BT

  • No Merkins??

    YHC pulled up early to WDog only find Swirly had already secured the AO for the 5 that would eventually head out for a Doozy Q. According to the mountain bike mafia this is what happened.

    Mosey to the circle for COP

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Ukrainian Soldiers, Imperial Walkers, LBC’s, Heals to heaven (with a shooting star)

    Mosey to the grassy pit for a Dora

    100 LBC’s, 200 Hello Dollies, 300 Squats partner runs the long way down and back

    Mosey to the side halfway down for a game of touch a tree. Run across the grassy pit and touch 5 trees but they can not be the first set of trees before the opposite sidewalk. Once you return do 20 WWII’s and go back out to touch 4 trees but they can’t be the same trees, return and do 20 WWII’s. Repeto until you get to 1 tree

    Mosey to the corner, Bro Code 4 corners 10 – Jump Squats, 20 – Ball dippers (2 count), 30 – Squats, 40 – calf raises

    Mosey BTTF for an ab ring of fire, hold Lazy Boy while each HIM around the circle does 20 of their favorite ab exercise

    NMS:

    BT was a little disappointed when I announced that due to YHC’s shoulder injury we would not be doing Merkins, Burpees or anything in the plank position. YHC says a little disappointed because he needed the Merkins for the Merkin challenge but he was happy to not have to do Burpees. He did get some Merkins in by substituting them during the ring of fire and sprinkling them into the workout when possible.
