Mosey to Rusty Cage

Lat Hangs/Merkins

For a 15 count, PAX hangs from the pull-up bar. The last 5 seconds, PAX members would lower themselves slowly. The PAX members would do 10 merkins IC. Each PAX member led the count which meant we did 5 sets of Lat Hangs and Merkins.

Mosey to Amphitheater

At every step, do 5 one legged lunges, then switch to other leg. Once the PAX reached the top, they circled up in plank position. In Fudd’s wife position, the PAX dropped to the elbows then raised back up onto hands on YHC’s count. Did this 5 times.

Elevens

In the circle, did elevens with heels-to-heaven and mountain climbers.

Mosey to VSF

Hold six inches for 30 count.

COT

Number-a-Rama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, YHC took us out.

NMS

What YHC loves about F3 Dogwood Dell bootcamps are the amount of choices the Q has. What he doesn’t like is when the grass has not been cut in the amphitheater. That was the case today. The grass was at least a foot tall along the top 1/2 of the steps. This led to a change in plans which led to the elevens.

After YHC took us out today, the PAX had a 2nd F with discussions mostly about Covid and schools. YHC really enjoyed discussing this topic with the PAX. Most AOs in RVA clear out soon after the COT. This is never the case with WDOG and RAMM. Thank you PAX for hanging around for this time of fellowship.

Great efforts today PAX. We did not travel much distance but had quite a beatdown in mile we went.
