On a beautiful Thursday morning, 16 warriors came for the best coffee in Richmond and also got a workout.
We circled up at the regular starting point and met a FNG Mark. He was invited by the missing Gomer Pyle. Despite the raucous crowd, we did some warmups of SSH, Copperhead Squats and DQs. Then we rifle carried to Fudd after he showed up and circled up again for some more warmups of Ukrainian Soldiers, Arm Circles & Cherry Pickers. We rifled carried further to back of the school and circled up one more time for LBCs and Merkins. We then made our way to the steps and path typically only used on Fridays at Currahee.
Everyone was asked to find a tree to the right of the path. We did 11’s of a tree-sit with overhead presses (yes Gypsy, we eventually did a kettlebell exercise) and merkins. After we all got ticks, me waiter carried to the neighborhood and did a triple check of swings, curls and a runner as timer.
We waiter carried the other arm back to the woods for one stupid round of balls to the tree and toe taps. No one fell or broke a tree but I did not want to take that risk again so we rifle carried back to the school.
We circled up for a 30/10, 20/20, 10/30 Lindsey of Goblet Squats and SitnPress. We rifled our way closer to coffee and did 20 lawn mowers (ten each arm) and 20 overhead pulls on the curb. One more rifle carry past the coffee and to the flag and 5 burpees to finish.
I asked Gomer to introduce Mark but after a brief silence, Mark introduced himself. He owns the Ironworks barbershop in West Broad Village after a career that included the Navy and Capital One. After a quick deliberation, we welcomed Manscape to the Pax. Also great to welcome Magnum PI to Circus after his first AO yesterday at the Crossing.
