10 Cville regulars and YHC posting downrange at the York AO on a chilly morning. Vinny had warned the regulars a RVA celebrity would be in town so the PAX showed up excited. Woody took the Q and lead us through some stretching, then rounds of Merkins, Plank Jacks, Pullups, Burpees and some other fun stuff with running mixed in between. NMS: Always good to post in Cville after F3RVA launched it 5 year ago. Even better to be close by to post with Vinny. YHC can’t tell if he wistfully pines for the Old school F3RVA days just when…

One PAX hit the early morning surf in the latest edition of The Clinic. Temperatures were a pleasant 70 and sunny. According to the guy in the white pick up who takes out the trash at 0:dark thirty, the following may well have happened: Short jog down the cliff trail to the beach. COP with SSHs, IWs, DQs, helicopters, HRMs. Mosey down the beach road, then onto the sand, and up to the jetty rocks. 15 four-count exercises about every 50-75 meters. WWIIs, sand angels, Freddy Mercury. 20 Donkey kicks on the random Jersey Wall / retaining wall. 20 dips…

#1 – Tuesday 4/18/23 0600 – DTH, The Quadfather, C30, and Boardwalk – and the Thang is the one and only appearance of the F3 beatdown deck. The Quadfather was dry heaving within the first 5 minutes but rallied and the PAX completed nearly the entire deck in 45 minutes. Boom! #2 – Thursday 4/20/23 0600 – DTH & Boardwalk spend 45 minutes of quality sweatfest time hitting all the usual highlights and digging deep into some truth bombs to gird up Boardwalk for a lifetime of living third. #3 – Saturday 4/22/23 0600 & 10AM – Not everyone got…

One chose to ignore the lure of the Fart Sack on an especially awesome south Florida morning to hit the streets. Temps were actually 70 and sunny. According to the circus performers cleaning up from the rain, the following performance may have happened. Lumber to Peters, east to 30th, north to Broward (zig-zag through the mall parking lot), and reverso BTTVSF. Number, name, and YHC took himself out. NMS: 3 time zones in 7 days. Let’s do this.

1 pax sailed forth into the Fort Lauderdale Gloom for the latest edition of The Clinic. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the zoo keeper building a wooden boat, the following route might have been taken. Route: the usual. No stop outbound. Rest stop inbound. A smidge over 5 miles. NMS: holy cow. The rain did rain on Wednesday in Fort Lauderdale. It was awesome. Perfect temperature and just the right amount of rain to cool things off. There were, oddly, more than the normal level of puddles. So, YHC ran (mostly) around them. Got wet. No biggie. By…

Welp, YHC forgot to post a BB from Tuesday’s bootcamp, so here’s a 2 for 1 deal on backblasts. TUE 4.13.23 – PAX of 3 with Boardwalk, Messi, and DTH – 45 minutes riding the Tryhard pain train, featuring an introduction to a Prostitute 4-corners on the soccer field, though the word prostitute was never used amid juvenile company. The PAX completed a horrific number of reps in best bro-code style, so it took up most of the workout. THUR 4.15.23 – PAX of 3 with NoGrass, Mojang, and DTH – 45 minutes of “fun”, including variable reps on the…

No literally, it was just Tryhard this morning. But without tiny humans slowing things down the Q absolutely smashed the PAX today, and it was soooooo good. An hour later and YHC is still feeling the lactic acid shakes! With just a couple weeks left here in PNG, and attendance still being completely variable, it’s unlikely Ground Zero will continue beyond our departure, but YHC is confident in the positive impact on those who have attended. God is good all the time! SYITG, DTH

YHC awoke early to the sound of raindrops on the tin roof. Exhaustion after taking hospital call last night was screaming to go back to sleep, but was properly ignored in anticipation of a VQ by Boardwalk, who has been a loyal attendee this last month of Ground Zero. At the age of 10, and still carrying a bit of childhood weight, Boardwalk is on the cusp of leaving childhood behind, and it can be seen in the way he carries himself, all the more since joining F3 Ground Zero. He’s gone from being the six to being the servant…

F3 PNG’s one and only and still unofficial AO “Ground Zero” is rapidly accumulating FNG’s of the 2.0 variety. Unlike other 3rd world sweatshops utilizing child manual labor, this one is voluntary and free and ends with a COT. A few adults corralled the gaggle of a 9 umpa lumpas into completing a variety of warm-up exercises, running down and up the gravel hill with various movements, plenty of mary, running around the nursing college, carousel plank walking, a mini-Dora on the field, a solid dose of wall-work, and variable chain reps. We welcomed an Australian friend nicknamed “Kanga”, a…

After getting knocked down with a nasty cold last week and missing two bootcamps (many thanks to Mountain Oyster for covering the Q!), YHC got back on the horse this morning with a slightly lighter-than-usual recovery Q. Joined by Messi and Boardwalk, then later Tiny TRex, the PAX did a fair number of core exercises, hit the hill once with variable movement exercises, completed a triple check, and also some other fun things under the big tent where they’ve set up a stage in preparation for Holy Week services that will go every night Wed-Sat. God is good all the…
