Following heavier use for non-F3 purposes during the warmer months, the parking lot at Pouncey Tract Park was, once again, ours on Saturday. Cooler temperatures and some rain helped our cause. Eight posted, including six Redwoods, one Kotter, and one FNG. Following a few minutes of conversation (comprised mostly of sarcastic comments), we moved across the parking lot to the stripes for some warm up speed work across two parking rows, including High Knees (down and back twice), Butt Kickers (again, twice), Side Skips (just down and back), and Sprints (down and back). Assemble in a circle for Don Quixotes,…

Seven men posted at GridIron this morning for the 0700 F3RVA showdown.

We have a solid track record of bringing FNGs out to our annual F3RVA birthday party/ convergence. To keep that tradition alive, we will offer an optional FNG-friendly bootcamp at 0700 in addition to the 0600 bootcamp and 0715 AM run. This will also give those who are unable to compete in the run due to injuries or other causes a double-dip option. Please ping Phonics or me if you have any questions. See ya’ in the gloom! Jville

Five of the Faithful posted to a GridIron workout, one of whom (Attila) wore cheap-o rubber gloves infused with putrid funk gathered over many weeks of sweaty workouts. I could smell Attila’s vomit-inducing gloves from at least 20 feet away. YHC offered to start a GoFundMe page so he could spring for $2.50 to buy a fresh pair. In any case, this is what went down, more or less: Warmup with 50x SSH, hand release merkins, Imperial Walkers, Crab Cakes, Merkins Mosey to block building for Donkey Kick Ciabattas Mosey to main gridiron field for Bearcrawl / Crawlbear Stay on…
