11 Ice-melters surveyed the permafrost in search of snow to melt. The Richmond ICE AGE may be passing and YHC took it upon himself and the Pax to speed it’s departure. Disclaimers were given and some took it too seriously, uh-hem “Last Call.” According to Squiggy here’s what went down:
Wamarama: mozey to field one for some SSH, Merkins, WWIIs, ISWs, DQs in random numbers
C.O.P. 1 Mozey to the pavillion to start the first sundance. EyE of the Merkaine… at pavillion 10 merkins, corners for 25 WWIIs, 25 Burpees, 25 ISWs, 25 Squats. Pax then tried to raise the temps over 32 with some raise the roofs.
I.P. Run Ice skater style low to the ground and lunging while the last man did 5 burpees and ran to the front.
C.O.P. 2 4 corners 25 Aussie snow angels, 25 plank jacks, 25 Freddie Mercuries. 25 mountain Climbers.
C.O.P. 3 11s with an animal walk between on the basketball court.
Pleasure to lead and we’ll see next Tuesday if we sped the ice Melt. Never in the history of Richmond ever has the snow lasted on the ground this long from 1/25 nearly 2.5 weeks. Many Pax throughout Richmond kept up the routine despite enduring single digit wind chills, and ice covered AOs. Memorable Qs were delivered from the likes of Doozy, Machine Head, DTH, L Woods, Salt Lick and others. Let’s relish the end of the Ice Age like the Type 2 fun it was, “uncomfortable in the moment, rewarding afterwards”.
Prayers to the reported 12,000 who visited the ERs of VA during this event. Lifting up YHCs mother who received a head wound from falling ice. Here’s also to the lessons in life that save us from worse mistakes later re: Hugo on Ice… Keep up the good work. Machismo – out.
