6 PAX converged on #StinkHill on a beautiful Fall morning – the antithesis of the “gloom” – to embark on a beatdown Carrollton-style. This was YHC’s “VQ” at StinkHill, having performed the first 15 Q’s on the other side of the Hampton Roads region. I hope I did not dissapoint.
WARM-O-RAMA – 33 SSHops in varying cadence, 15 Abe Vigodas, 16 Burpees, Position Planks, 10 Mini Peking Operas
THE THANG –
Mosey with Style – “Getting to Know You….” Run 1 mile circuit clockwise around Mt. Trashmore, up and down stairs as they presented themselves. Stop each 0.2 mile, partner up and do 6 Handclap Merkins each to learn each others names and ages. This will be needed later.
Stop at top of Mt Trashmore, set up cones about 30 feet apart and do Top 20 Countdown as follows. Decoder ring: first column is done at one cone, last column is done at the other cone, getting to and fro the cones was done with the exercise in the middle.

Mosey back to Flags. Count-o-Rama then Name-o-rama where the “partners” from the Mosey had to recite each others information. All PAX did well, only one error requiring all to do one Burpee.
COT: Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” YHC recounted some teaching of his kids recently that reinforces our responsibility as male role models and influencers in life, especially with kids as I continue to grow to appreciate.
BOM and OUT.
NMM – This routine was recycled and reengineered from YHCs last Q. We were pressed for time to complete it, and the 3 Merkin row is asterisked because we continued to show our inability to count and WE MISSED IT! Q takes full responsibility. #Tclaps to Sunshine for pushing us all to complete the countdown, as we were running short on time and I proposed stopping but Sunshine was having none of that. Well done to all the PAX for gutting it out to the end and giving us just a few more minutes.
Welcome FNG Tom Allmond, forever renamed in F3Nation as Chipper due to his fandom for the Braves!
Burpee count 49 each for 6 PAX = 294 total.
