YHC posted to Urban Assault in Winston Salem on 8/19. Super pumped to pick the day they attacked the hills of downtown. Backblast posted on F3WinstonSalem.com is below:
IPC is Coming (Maybe?)
Date: 8/19/22
PAX: Fudd (from Richmond), Wobegon, Crash, Gretel, Lamb Chop(!), Spicoli, Post Hole, Greenspan
Warmrama:
SSHs, Leg Stretches, Whirlies, Abe Vigodas, Cherry Pies, Let’s Go!
The Thang:
Mosey up to 6th Street where our hilly journey was clarified. We would mosey west on 6th Street, stopping at each red light for an IPC-lite exercise. Stops along the way yielded:
- Hand-release Hurpees x 10 (which, really, is 30 merkins + 10 burpees)
- Bonnie Blairs x 25
- Bonnie Blairs x 10
- Side-straddle hops x 50
- WW2s x 25
Lamb Chop exercised his mouth along the way, petitioning a turnaround as he apprehended where we were headed. After a bit farther mosey down Pilot View, YHC acquiesced and we moseyed back towards home. Left on Jersey, and back up 4 ½ street, right on Along the way, we performed:
- Merkins x 30
- Burpees x 10
Upon arrival at home, the cup check:
- Merkins x 5 at mid, low, high, mid, wide, mid, and diamond hand positions each
Finished.

Prayer Requests:
- People struggling with addictions.
- Lamb Chop’s M’s pregnancy.
NMM:
- The theme was moseys with IPC-type exercises intermingled based on the timing of traffic lights, i.e. fortune.
- Lamb Chop asked when IPC was so he could be ready to mock and complain.
- In a turn of concern, the F3 Greenwood website is down. It would be terrible if they couldn’t get the dispatches out on the 2022 version of their torture rack.
- Post Hole debated on coming this morning based on the “hills” pre-blast. He was a happy he conquered the sack.
- Fudd is on his way from Richmond to Asheville for a meeting and stopped in Dashland. He’s been training for BRR and it showed.
- Wobegon got YHC out for an EC run where we commiserated on the fun of the West Virginia Ragnar last weekend and dreamed on how to deepen the DashPax’s 3rd T-claps to the Na’ntan.
- Spicoli rolled in on Spicoli Time but in time to join us for the critical stretching portion of the warmups.
- Crash was having memory problems, thinking that he had been on Pilot View at previous UA Q by YHC; it was in fact a Flatline Q, which is half the distance that Bailey Park is, but still worth forgetting.
- The goal was to reach Hanes Park before turning around. We’ll have to try again next time.
- Gretel was the quiet man this morning, just getting it done without any whining.
- YHC’s cadence on Abe Vigodas was a little aggressive initially. I dialed it back to a more reasonable pace.
- We intersected a couple of OGs (Lemming and Woodpecker) around Foot Hills on the return trip to Bailey Park who comment that “You boys are a long ways from home.” They didn’t know the half of it.
- A great regret was not getting to the 50 pull-ups YHC had planned. #Cobains.
Great job, men. Everyone have a good weekend.
Post Hole, the keys are on Pilot View; they popped out with YHC’s phone.
