NMS
Two years ago today, YHC posted for his first bootcamp at DaVille. For his anniversary week, YHC always Qs DaVille and an AO for his anniversary date. This meant that he was doing a 45MOM VQ workout. In planning the bootcamp, he wanted to do something very different than the 3.25 miles the PAX covered at DaVille on Tuesday. This meant a long COP, 8 Minutes of Agony, and Plank-O-Rama. But he also wanted to use the field. To try to save time, he decided instead of running back to the first tree, just run back one tree and forward 2. YHC attempted to explain this to Opus on Tuesday during a chorus concert in the commons at Atlee High School using a lunch table. Opus gave the idea a strong maybe. During Round 2 of this exercise today, a PAX member said it should be named Chutes and Ladders. What a perfect name. These are observations from today’s workout.
- If there is a large PAX, only attempt Chutes and Ladders when there is light. Because you turn around so much, collision is a serous concern.
- Five 5urpees are not difficult. Eleven sets of 5 burpees are exhausting.
- Bravo to all PAX members on Chutes and Ladders. Little time went by between the first PAX members completing each round and the last PAX members completing the round.
- Mary Munford may be the center of the pollen universe. This was observed most during the 8 Minutes of Agony.
YHC has truly enjoyed the workouts and friendships that have been created as being a member of F3 RVA over the past 2 years. Thank you Labrat for EHing YHC and for the support that F3 RVA has given him as a PAX member and for the ReeseStrong 5K.
It was a pleasure to lead today.

Well done today PAX!
Blackjack, baby! 21 is a great number at Mary! Great and exhausting Q, Phonics! Congrats on the two years and it’s been nice getting to know you. Great work this morning all.
Apologies to the ladies walking/running by while sugar sock (and others I am sure) looked your way doing the inverted plank APD routine. #metoo I guess.
Great Q, Phonics. The chutes and ladders w/ burpees was a real smoker. The 8 mins of crawling around in a sea of pollen, too. No better way to start a day!
Great Q…exhausting and creative. Well done. I particularly liked the moment when I realized that donkey kicks, lunges, running, down to elbows and mountain climbers were only really painful if done with bear crawls as the exclamation point. Whopper.
Brutal! Great Q Phonics. Congratulations! I’m coming up on a year myself and almost can’t remember what mornings were like before ?
Those reverse APDs or whatever they were when we were thrusting at that lady felt aggressive AF and I may have blushed a little. Lolz
Glad you liked the name. Hardywood had a funnier one but I’ve forgotten what it was.
Thanks for the plug!
Phonics – Congratulations on two years! Excellent workout and for showing the PAX that COP can be more than arm circles and Don Quixote.
Heck of a beat down! Still quite sore this AM. Enjoy your weekend fellas. Wish me and my pops luck at our member-guest this weekend. Always cherish these opportunities as time passes.
2 clap BOOM that looks horrible!!!
Just made my donation for the shaved head!! can’t wait to see your new look!!!
Nice work Phonics. Definitely feeling it today. 8 Minutes of agony was painful. Can’t wait for someone to come out with a 7 minute version.
Thanks Flashdance!
Guaranteed as good a workout as the 8 minute folk? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB2di69FmhE not even a mouse on a wheel…
Great Q Phonics! Nothing was easy about that and the burpee ladder was pure terror. I can only imagine that the 8 minute thing you put us through was some way you dreamed up to torture a troublesome student. See you tomorrow punks!
Good luck this weekend Vinny. I heard a rumor that JoAnne Carner was going to be driving from the men’s tee this weekend. Please ask her if she can make a cameo at Wilson’s tournament.
Whew, I’m out of breath reading that. Nice work Phonics, and congrats on 2 years man!
