A Catholic Can’t Lead a Revival?

Eleven of F3RVA’s finest (ahem, F3RVA’s 11 Finest) gathered under the tents at RRBC for an ole time revival at today’s edition of First Watch. Temps remained 70 and sunny. According to the makers of Yala Luxury Canvas Lodges, here’s what the Tent Master had in store for the PAX today:

Mosey to the front of the church, the long way.

Dead Man Hang (no cadence!)
Calf stretches
Side-straddle hops
Hillbillies
Russian Soldiers
Imperial Walkers
Arm Circles (big only; kudos to Chum for showing YHC the light!)
Hand-Release Merkins
Inverted Scorpion Kicks
Reverse Crunches

Mosey to the super-small parking area for Four Corners:

Round 1: 10 hand-release merkins, 20 squats, 30 four-count flutter kicks, 40 four-count side-straddle hops. Bear crawl between stations.

Round 2: 10 burpees, 20 monkey humpers, 30 box cutters, 40 four-count side-straddle hops. Crab walk the long legs and crawl bear the short legs between stations.

Round 3: 10 standard merkins, 20 copperhead squats, 30 four-count snow angels, 40 four-count side-straddle hops. Lunge the long legs and power walk the short legs between stations. Optional fanny packs and sweatshirts around the waist.

Mosey towards the church, stopping at the handicap parking signs to perform an omage of 10 WWIIs, in cadence. Continue to the Alternate Parking Lot for a Meat and 3 Sides or a Side and Three Meats or whatever:

Round 1: 10 block curls, 15 dips, 20 dealer’s choice, and run the loop.

Round 2: 15 block curls, 20 dips, 25 dealer’s choice, and run the loop.

Round 3: 20 block curls, 25 dips, 30 dealer’s choice, and run the loop with the block.

Put the blocks back, and BTTVSF.

Numbers, Names, and Wojo took us out.

Announcements:

Blood Drive, October 20. Sign up to volunteer and support a brother who is organizing this. Send a quick note to Pigskin (on Slack). Lots of different opportunities for a couple of hours and / or just donate some good juice. Yeah, you get a cookie at the end, too. Sign up.

Faceplant is sort of hosting a non-F3 sanctioned event on October 16 that the PAX thinks they are invited to, but it’s not clear. Celebrate Faceplant’s friend Sean Hogan by running the Beer Mile. This is to remember the same guy you curse 1-2 times a year when Faceplant Q’s that nutty thing with hill repeats and burpees and more burpees and more hill repeats. Apparently, after all the smiles and Mr. Nice Guyness, Faceplant is really about making the PAX hurl.

Q School coming this fall. Look for it at an AO in your area. More to follow.

NMS:

Not a ton of mumble chatter today and less over-sharing. Perhaps the PAX was still sleepy or quiet or YHC really has lost his hearing a bit. Great to have Ronnie become a First Watch regular (?) and fantastic to have Whole Food’s finest, Wojo, back in the fold, even while traveling regularly. Flying all over is a grind, so nice to see him back at it. Thanks to Splinter for posting, even with YHC having the Q.
