The Pax Hits the Little Piney

QIC: Mr Holland
The PAX: Viral, Ollivander, Mr Holland, Nigel (FNG)

Three veterans and one FNG decided that being two hours from Dogpile wasn’t a good enough reason to fartsack on a Saturday morning, and planted the proverbial flag at F3’s latest temporary AO: Crossroads Camp & Conference Center in lovely Lowesville, VA. So at 6am sharp, PAX headed to the hilly field for a beat down: THANG COP: SSH, DQ, IW, Freddie, flutterkicks, merkins It’s surely in the exicon somewhere, but YHC had no cell service to find the proper name, so “scatterbear” it was: 1 man does 5 burpees while PAX bear crawls away, man 1 chases and tags…

9 Pax, including one FNGal Mary Caton Lingold, left the dry comfort of the fart sack to lay down some wet miles this morning. YHC signed up for Q last night in an attempt to influence the route in order to minimize damage to our glorious trails. Here is more or less what transpired. Arriving in the parking lot around 6:30 YHC parked next to TYA’s snack filled mom car, got his affairs in order and went over to join TYA for some conversation only to discover an empty car… guess he’s out already. The rest of the Pax arrived…

28 descended upon Dogpile in reasonable temperatures for light calisthenics. This is what transpired, more or less… As Lockjaw is still under the weather (get better soon buddy), he asked Circle K if he would take the Q this morning. Since CK has his birthday-Q next week and was running on a tight schedule, he rightly opted for a hot potato. Circle K (first Q): COP: Invisible Jump Ropes (i.e. jump up and down aimlessly), DQ’s (Sloooooowly), Squats. Ascending dips up Carillon steps (1 to 18). Descending Inclined Merkins (18 to 1). Plank up. After a few reach-arounds and turns…

Three redwoods posted on a cool morning at Circus Maximus with Kettlebells in hand (except Offshore, who needed a loaner).

YHC was slightly nervous about Q’ing this morning….first 45MOM Q! Preparation for this am came from Exicon, again. YHC arrived and quickly reviewed COP with the hopes of not screwing up THAT part! 0530…time to Mosey!
