On a stormy morning at 6 a.m., 13 brave souls of F3RVA faced heavy rain and 51 degrees, rallying around the freshly planted shovel flag. Amongst the Pax, was our dear Wilson! Great to see the crowd today, I was not expecting more than 6 or so.
Mosey to the big circle for a few laps of butt kickers and high knees. Circle up for some side straddle hops, arm circles, copperhead squats, Don Quixotes, flutter kicks, Rosalitas, and Merkins.
COP 1: My initial plan was foiled by a dude sleeping in the amphitheater, thinking fast I decided to take things to the field, which was now a pond. No worries, we were able to knock out a DORA on the right side of the field, with 100 LBCs, 200 squats, and 300 side straddle hops.
COP2: I decided to kill some time with a triple check at Satan’s Triangle. The triple check was with dry docks and squats. Looking back, this was way too much time for drydocks; however, think how swole I got you for pool weather!
COP3: Partner up by the stage for some Dog Pile patented “Touch a Tree.” Had the guys knock out three sets of 3/6/9 with LBCs and Flutterkicks as the called exercises.
For the grand finale, I had the Pax run the half-pipe for 11s with Merkins and Alabama Prom Dates, honoring 11 years of marriage to Mrs. Heist (3/23/13).
BTTF:
Announcement: Grow Ruck.
Prayers:
- Handshake’s M has a cousin with a child that recently injured their knee. Initially, Doctors suspected a torn MCL, but turns out to be bone cancer. Please pray for Charolotee.
- Please pray for our brother Wildcat. He has upcoming full body scans for his Stage IV lung cancer. BTW this badass is also doing a Triathlon to raise money for childhood cancer.
Honeymoon took us out in prayer! Thanks bro!
Closing thoughts: Lots of respect to all you guys out there today. Dog Pile has always been a personal favorite of mine, because I get to see my buds I typically don’t see during my usual AO rotation. Shout out to the guys that deserve extra respect: Bootleg, Doublemint, Oyster and Wilson.
