A PAX of 7 familiar with the offerings of GridIron posted for this morning’s workout.  We gathered in the usual spot at the Pouncey Tract Park parking lot, exchanged greetings and/or barbs, then started the Thang like so: Jog across the well-manicured football field to the edge of the western endzone for the startup COP with 5 Burpees, then Seal Jacks x 20, Russian Soldiers x 20, Helicopters x 20, Merkins x 10, and LBCs x 30. Mosey eastward across the football field and down the hill from the scoreboard to the smaller field for a Four Corner variant.  Jog…

We launched F3 RVA at GridIron on September 20, 2014. To commemorate the 3rd anniversary of the launch, we will host a convergence at GridIron (click for map) on Sept. 30, 2017. The main event will be at 0700. As with last year’s anniversary convergence, we would like to drive the numbers way up. Please bring as many FNGs as possible. Go retrieve our stragglers. Don’t apologize to them for making them get up early — they need your intervention. As with last year, we will again have a Bonus Workout at 0600 for F3 regulars and those ready for an…

Eleven experienced PAX posted for Gridiron on a sunny, humid Saturday morning.  YHC arrived a little early and planted the ShovelFlag.  In contrast to other times of the year, the parking lot already contained a few cars – those of some other guys getting some sweat going somewhere else on the AO. The Thang:  After an abbreviated disclaimer, including an explanation that while we’d discussed one day taking on an all Burpee Beast at Gridiron, YHC had not planned one for the morning.  We did start with some Burpees (only 5) followed by 20 each of SSHs, Don Quixotes, Imperial…

The temperatures were moderate, the humidity was unseasonably absent, and the Gridiron AO was filled with lush, green grass.  Today was made for a classic Gridiron boot camp workout (void of White Deer’s mumblechatter).  Here is how it went down.
