Triple Sprints, Triple Check, Backwards Lunges, and a bunch of Burpees.

15 men were drawn to New Highland Baptist Church this humid morning for a workout to end the week.   After a 2 month break from being the QIC, YHC slept little and dreamed big for today’s beatdown.  This is what occurred.

Although it has only been 2 months since YHC has Qed, it appeared that a good amount of rust had built up in that time.  This was also YHC’s VQ at the Creek.  When we left at 5:30 AM to mosey around the church, we had 9 PAX members.  By the end of the COP, we were up to 15.  About 1/2 way through the COP, Spit and Yardsale joined us.  It was obvious that Spit is not used to being late.  He said he got up at 5:16 and lives at least 10 minutes from the AO.  He looked like he just did that drive in about 5 minutes.

After the COP, we did one round of exercises around the church which involved running.  For the 2nd trip around the church, YHC made it clear that the PAX would lunge.  As soon as YHC said exercise, YHC started running.  All PAX members caught this and asked if it is more important to follow the Qs directions or copy what the Q is doing.  That mistake knocked a little rust off of YHC.  The rest was removed during the Triple Sprints and attempting to give directions for that.  Luckily, several of the PAX members had done this before and knew the basic concept of it.  One thing that YHC loves about F3 is that the PAX will do exactly what he says.  The problem is that sometimes YHC says one thing but means another.  In this case, YHC meant to run to the electrical pole, not the light post which was much farther away.  After the corrected instructions were given, the PAX did a fine job completing the Triple Sprints as well as all of the challenges today.

Great seeing Rounders today!  YHC had not seen him in several years.  He seems to be a natural at everything we did today.  Well done as well to the five 2.0s in attendance today.

Thank you F3 RVA for your support of the ReeseStrong 5K!  It is humbling that in the little time YHC has been a member of F3 Nation, so many F3 Nation members from RVA and Hampton Roads are participating or volunteering and are promoting my event.  F3 RVA will have the biggest team on September 16 and it is not going to be close.  Thank you as well Circle K for organizing and hosting Crabfest to follow the ReeseStrong 5K.
