Sweat Soup

The sloppy gloom of Dogpile welcomed 16 HIM vets to cut water weight with the latest edition of Tryhard Or Die Tryin! According to the groggy ?homeless couple nestled in their sleeping bags on the amphitheater stage, who we rudely awoke with our first COP, here’s how these fine men carved their names into the F3RVA wall of fame:

The THANG:

COP #1:

• Mosey to the Amphitheater
• Variable IC warmerama with interval ascents – either box jumps or bear crawl up the steps

COP #2:

• Mosey around to the Bowl
• LINDSEY:
• Dips 10/15/20/25/30
• Merkins 30/25/20/15/10
• Run between sides
• Plankorama for the SIX

COP #3:

• Mosey to a flat grassy spot
• CAPTAIN THOR:
• WWII & Am.Ham’s, escalating from a 1:4 ratio up to 10:40

COP #4:

• Mosey to collect Coupons and circle up in the soft wet grass
• Dealer’s Choice Round Robin to exercise some PAX for near-future CQ’s
• Going around the circle, each PAX took a turn calling x10 reps IC of a block exercise – there was amazing variety in both exercises as well as ways to count cadence… 
• Return blocks

COP #5:

• Mosey to the grass circle near the amphitheater
• Partner up for Carousel Burpees 
• Alternate carousel (plank walks) around circle with other guy doing x5 burpees

Mosey BTTF for 3min of Mary

COT:

• Counterama # 16
• Namerama
• Announcerama (see Comments)
• YHC took the PAX out in Prayer

NMS: Having never had a legit audience for an F3 COP #1, YHC was torn between pride and caution when we discovered two older folks happily snoozing in their fartsacks on the amphitheater stage. Whether it was a hopeful deterrent to the predawn cadence or just a first morning habit, the man lighting up a cigarette while cooly watching our performance certainly lended an air of drama. It was unusual to say the least. Anyway, following a recent pattern for Tryhard Q’s, today’s was also entirely unplanned. The PAX got their share of shoulder and ab work, and the diamond in the rough today was a little Cadence practice for the PAX calling 16 different coupon exercises. What variety! In the most part, the PAX would benefit from Upchuck’s Q school (details TBD), but generally everyone did a great job!!! And look out for Mr Roger’s VQ – he’s already working on a shovel flag for the big day! Proud to serve alongside such fine men. SYITG, YHC, DTH
