Ten warriors of The Gloom banded together to face the first Monday of Daylight Savings Time Darkness at Hoedown. Temps were sunny and 70, yet again, for what YHC announced (incorrectly, YHC might add) as “National You are Wrong Day.” (The correct name is National Everything You Think is Wrong Day – https://nationaldaycalendar.com/everything-you-think-is-wrong-day-march-15/).
If YHC has this right, everything the PAX did was, more or less:
Mosey to the School Wall for 10 Donkey Kicks, in cadence.
Mosey to the Front of the School for the COP:
SSHs
Mountain Climbers
Imperial Walkers
Dead Man Hang (OYO)
Bodo’s Sky Stretchers (w/tippie toes)
Hillbillies
LBCs
1 flutter kick, Vinny-style (aka, Freddie Mercury)
Flutter Kicks
Scorpion Kicks
HRMs
Mosey to the front of Third Church. Find a space on one of the many beautiful walls. (Bodo’s requested that the PAX PLEASE do not leave footprints on the walls or in the landscaping.) The Q requested 10 donkey kicks, OYO.
Mosey to the Third Church Alternate Parking Lot.
Partner up for Swirling Blocks of Pain:
Round 1: Partner 1 does Bernie Sanders while carrying the block. Partner 2 does 3 burpees, then catches Partner 1. Swap. 2 loops of the parking lot.
Albert Gore & Family.
Round 2: Partner 1 runs while carrying 2 blocks. Partner 2 does 5 HRMs (or, maybe it was 3 – it’s Everything You Think is Wrong Day), then catches Partner 1. Swap. 2 loops of the parking lot.
Stretches.
Round 3: Partner 1 bear crawls. Partner 2 does 5 block thrusters, then catches Partner 1. Swap. 1 loop of the parking lot.
Albert Gore and Family.
Round 4: Partner 1 crawls bear (or is it “crawl bears?”). Partner 2 carries 2 blocks around the loop, then catches Partner 1. Swap. A single loop of the parking lot was plenty.
Stretches.
Mosey to the front of Tuckahoe Elementary School for a set of donkey kicks.
Mosey 20 yards to the bike rack for Elevens. Hand release mercans and box cutters.
Mosey BTTF for some Mary.
American Hammers, Rosalita’s, Hello Dolly, reverse crunches/gas pumps, flutter kicks.
Number-am-a, Name-a-ram-a, Pucker took us out.
Announcements:
HDHH next Wednesday the 24th at “after workish” in West Creek. YHC thinks HoneyDo said “Hardywood West Creek” but advises the PAX to head towards the Capital One campus and grab a beverage at each watering hole until the PAX are found. YHC will join virtually from south Florida.
TYA is assembling persons-of-interest for the BRR. Everything YHC has ever heard makes this sound awesome. Looking forward to it. September 8-11 or so (Thurs-Sunday). Run mountains in the dark or light until you drop. Then, contrary to all of your parent’s advice, get in the white van that is waiting at the rest stop in the middle of the night. Repeato for 30 hours.
NMS:
Handshake posted an epic family moment this weekend. Any PAX who have not seen it, head on over to Slack and check it out. “Get it out! Get it out!” Many a tear was shed laughing during today’s Donkey Kicks. Well done, Handshake. Kudos to the M for anticipating your children’s giddiness and filming the event.
YHC learned some new profanities during the last round of the Swirling Blocks of Pain today. Frankly, that’s hard to do given YHC proficiency with profanity. Crawl bear is awful. YHC thanks Sippy Cup for introducing the CB to YHC some years back.
UpChuck spits the bit.

Welcome to Traveler, visiting us from F3 The Capital, a group which has many times welcomed YHC with open arms. Looking forward to having you join us anytime.
Thanks for letting me lead, fellas. SYITG!
For a man concerned with safety weighted Bernie Sanders in an unlit lot may not be the best idea. Ample cursing in a church parking lot = tough Q.
Best part was when Faceplant asked how do we catch our partner who was crawl-bearing and he realized we’d have to complete a lap with the double coupons, ouch!
Indeed. YHC is amused by the tendency of the PAX to perform exercises in the middle of the line that other PAX are likely to travel, backwards.
YHC is developing/editing a PAX-endorsed set of Safety Tips (soon to be posted on the Q-Sheet):
1. Leashed dogs are welcome (and very much welcomed by the non-PAX). Leashed cats are an abomination.
2. Chaz Michael Michael is never welcome, especially by Gomer Pyle, unless all parties have agreed to the non-F3 version of “Sunday Funday” rules.
3. Bernie Sanders Backflips over another PAX is not recommended (YHC speaks from experience).
4. Yelling “Goldberg” to a recently added PAX member does not help them as much as the Old Timers might believe. Nor does yelling “Gomer.”
5. Avoid slippery slopes, even when on solid ground.
6. Politely avoid any pre-dawn conversation with persons parked at Burpee Lake.
More to follow.
Avoid getting distracted by water sprinklers while running to Bleeder’s house through Windsor Farms. “Kubota’s Hole”
Chazz Michael Michaels will return!
That was a tough workout. I’m glad we got to perform so many Donkey Kicks.
That circuit around the lot with the coupons was terrible. I appreciate you all doing your best to respect the church property this morning, notwithstanding all the farting and cursing.
