NMS:

What a great morning for an old fashioned beat down!  Cool, crisp, fall air with hardly any humidity!  Couldn’t ask for any better conditions, well, except for the tall grass issue that has plagued Dogwood Dell for the better part of the Summer and Fall.  The PAX did their best not to get lost in the grass in the Amphitheater.

YHC had noticed on Tuesday that the Q sheet was empty for today’s Dogpile and YHC hated seeing that.  We all know that PuppyPile was happening today and usually when there is a PuppyPile, the PAX’s numbers are low for DogPile, and totally understandable because of the 2.0’s.  Well, YHC knew that he would not be attending PuppyPile because of his having to go to work immediately after DogPile, so no 2.0’s for him.  YHC took the DogPile Q with the intention of there being a low turnout and thus having a Hot Potato style Q.  Alas, the F3RVA PAX never disappoints!  24 STRONG, BABY!  BOOM!  Plus it looked like a great PuppyPile PAX, as well (MARV to write about that later!)

T-Claps to Upchuck, Garbage Plate, Helix and Phonics for taking the unexpected potato and running with it.  And RUN we did!  3.2 Miles on my Garmin when we finished up.  Great job!

Helix and Swirly just absolutely killed the Box Jumps!  Helix looked like a Kangaroo on those steps!

Thanks to OBT for taking us out with a great prayer.  Also, Happy 48th Birthday to OBT!  Hope you have a great one!

Way to work to everyone this morning!  Everyone looked strong physically and mentally.  Let’s take this strength and energy out into our daily lives and help others and help make this world a better place!
