So Long Emoji

YHC signed up for this date as the beginning of the 3rd year being in F3 (5/14/21 was my 2 year anniversary) and with daylight early and less gloom had a full agenda to ensure Emoji has some fond memories of Dogpile. So here is what went down:

COT

We mosey to the crop circle at the top of the Triangle loop via behind the Amphitheater and Ha Penny Stage(No coupons today) and performed 20 SSH, 10 DQ, 20 Russian Soldiers, 10 Imperial Walkers, 20 2ct American Hammers, 10 4 ct LBC’s, 10 4ct Modified Alabama Prom Dates, 10 Scorpions and 20 Merkins.

THANG

So we mosey down to the pump station and with great morning daylight we do our first Triple check on the Pipe loop. P1 runs the pipe loop as the Timer, P2 – LBC’s and P3 Squats. We rotate through each exercise for one set and do this 2 more times to complete the triple check. Al Gore for the 6 and we lose Phonics who took a spill while running the loop, Hitchhiker ran/walked back to the flag with him to make sure he was ok…Awesome Hitch and thank you. Snuff, Garbage Plate and Shiplap we my partners for this one.

The remaining PAX we do a light pole event where we perform 10 merkins at the light pole then sprint to the next light pole, perform 10 merkins and then walk(recovery) to the next light pole. We flap jack this until we reach the bottom of triangle hill, then we Bernie Saunders to the Crop circle at the top and plank for the 6.

Once every one is gathered we mosey to the Cage for another Triple Check P1 – runs to the Hydrant and back as the timer, P2 – 5 pull ups, 10 merkins and then squats until timer returns, P3 – 10 Jerkins then step ups until P1 returns. P1 to Pull up station, P2 to Jerkins station and P3 runs to Hydrant and back. Finally P3 to Pullup station, P1 to Jerkins station and P2 runs to hydrant and back. This completes one set. Emoji, Malpractice partnered with YHC and we get to 3 sets in quick fashion… so YHC does an Audible UPGRADE for 2 more sets for a total of 5. Mumble chatter was coming out big time from the young bucks, possible ‘Qutiny’ but YHC held firm as we are all in better shape and need the extra sets. I figured if a 54(YHC) and 55(Emoji) year old can do this so could the rest of the gang. Proud to say the PAX crushed this and banged it out!

Mosey back behind the Amphitheater up to the wall for some wall sits and Donkey Kicks. YHC would have the PAX invisible chair against the wall for about 20-30 seconds, then 10 DK’s, back to wall sit for 20-30 seconds, 10 DK’s, wash repeat 2 more times and mosey to the Flag for Mary.

We circle up around the flag and space out for 5 minutes of stretching led by YHC.

Namerama, numberama YHC took us out. Below is the gang that showed up:

Thank you to Snuff and Emoji for the Photos.

YHC is saddened that some DaVille brothers(Carpenter – to New Jersey and Emoji to Charlotte, NC) are moving this summer. Today’s workout was the first time YHC has seen Emoji since the start of the Pandemic in Late February. He has been working out in his garage gym with the family and now that he has had both shots felt he could safely return to F3 RVA gang again so we are glad to see you back and look forward to seeing you in the gloom a little while longer until you move in the next few weeks.

Announcements –

Check the Breaking Bread link and sign up for any available spaces in June July this summer and follow up with Upchuck once you have signed up.

Memorial Day Convergence is happening at Tredegar Ironworks and we will form up @ 7am for this day workout for the F3RVA region workout.

It was an honor to lead this morning and I look forward to seeing you in the gloom, Cheers….CB!
