47, yes, you read that right 47 festive carolers rolled into the parking lot of Huguenot Park after Swirly secured the AO for the event. Lots to celebrate in 2023 so the PAX showed up strong for the 12 Days of Christmas.
0530 let the party begin – Big circle for intro and warm up. 12 SSH, 12 IW – introduce the FNG, 12 Helicopters. Main event – this has not changed from the past couple of years and why would I change a good thing.
1 – Dozen LBCs, 2 – Field Sprints (jogs), 3 – Diamond merkins, 4 – Imperial Squat Walkers, 5 – Burpees, 6 – Carolina Dry Docks, 7 – Ball Dippers, 8 – Hand Release Merkins, 9 – American Hammers, 10 – Freddie Mercuries, 11 – Crunchy Frogs, 12 – Broad Jump Burpees.
Extra time on the clock and I want to make sure everyone got the full 45 minutes – 6 Minutes of Mary – Dollies, Rosalitas, Cross leg lifts, Flutter kicks (slow then fast then ludicrous), Heels to heaven, Shoulder taps, Tempo Merkins.
Numbers – 47! – Names – this is where YHC was trying to record but apparently did not start until I got around to Buddy, let’s blame it on cold fingers. So much for not testing the recall skills today – all 47 accounted for. Thanks to EF Hutton for giving me a 28, 29? DK, person head start with the gift exchange. Excellent idea, well received by all, and with that a new tradition is born. I can’t get over the energy from this morning and how much it has carried over into my day, and likely the rest of the week. There is a normal energy to an F3 workout and then there is 46 brothers posting to let me lead them through some pain and suffering (by suffering I mean listening to us sing). Thank you all for showing up today and every other day to make F3RVA a great place, it doesn’t happen without each of you.

Have a great day and a Merry Christmas. apologies to Big Data for throwing off the calculation for the New Year’s convergence – who wants to come back to NoToll (or SOT)?
