It was just the pines and Beaver this morning. YHC covered something like 5.2 mi and gets a max speed of 12.2 mph. YHC took a page from Commando’s book and used this time to talk with God in the overcast gloom. Even though I missed the guys, it was nice to have this alone time.

6 HIMS and a little lady emerged from the unusually bright gloom for a faux Beaver Q Surprise, just trying to bait y’all out here! This is what the dog park weirdos witnessed!
Mosey to the helipad for disclaimer and Warmarama(surprisingly not a whole lot of MC):
- 10 Cherry Picker IC
- 20 Imperial Walkers IC (fooled a lot of PAX on this one at 10th count, need to start some burpee penalties for premature haulting)
- 20 SSH’s IC
- 10 Nolan Ryan’s IC
- Wilson and Fudds Wife
- Toe Grabs
- Butterfly
- Roscoe’s Wife
Start COP1 from helipad – Touch-A-Tree! Yukon suggests Leroy Jenkins: Instated! Touch the AED box at the PB Court.
Partner up: P1 Runs to touch 3 trees(can’t touch the same tree) while P2 does Merkins on the pad. 3 Rounds. Following top of the 3rd round Commando calls Leroy Jenkins!Mosey to the Handicap Spaces near the playground for COP 2 – 7’s – Mike Tyson / Pole Smokers
Mosey to the Coupons way over yonder for COP 3 – Dora …“Leroy Jenkins!” Exclaims Choo Choo – this had to have been at least a half mile round trip to the AED, shortly after YHC proactively changes the LJ destination to the much closer center field flag. Like I was saying Dora- Partner Up / 100 Incline Merkins / 200 Wet Toilet Seats / 300 LBC’s – Partner carries coupon to top of trail and back.
Sugar Rush calls for Leroy Jenkins, run to the flag on our way back, pick up our gear and head back to the invisible F3 flag.

Chi-ca-ca!
Ol Beaver is on the road for work again. Thi time he finally hits an AO in the Chicago area named War Horse. You guessed it, we hit the coupons! It’s a thing! I feel like I’m always doing coupons DR. Luckily one of the HIMs grabbed an extra for me. A variety of coupon workouts were repped. I will certainly have to come out again.

The Farm Has Turf!
Beaver was doing a little travel for work up in Northern VA this week after taking a few weeks off to spend time with the M and 2.0. So I looked up the nearest AO and there she was…across the way from Dulles airport tucked into what looks like some sort of secured area where Astro turf soccer fields where 5 arrived on time and Running Man was running about 10-15 mins late, no that’s not how he got his name unfortunately.
we did a little bit of everything and brought home a couple new moves to introduce to the men. -

3 Cheery Ol’ Chaps emerged from the gloom for a delightful game of Mammoth Bawls! YHC emerged moments after the buzzer sounded as Tuesdays always seem to be the hardest days to rise from the ol’ fartsack. It was rather chilly out so this Q ball had the chaps follow along with a not so warmup(still chilly) with a mosey down the parking alley, side strut beyond the dog park, across the wee bridge and back to our rather cold bawls for some SSH’s, Michael Phelps, DQ’s and leg stretches.

Running Late
Baby had YHC up for a few hours last night, It’s now 5:19 AM and my snooze is going off. I was running a solid 7 minutes late for the Iron Haul this gloom. Ran out the door, flip flops on with socks and shoes in hand. No chance for my morning deuce! These things had to wait until YHB rolled up into Pine Fork Park. Come to find out, Beaver would be solo this gloom. It was a good workout as YHC ran these little legs covering every piece of the park and neighborhood by doing a double shift of Iron Haul to complete a 15K, it wasn’t comfortable but it was manageable, and would have been greater with some company.
Have a great week men! SYITG
