  • River Run after the storm (BRR)

    6 total for a stroll in the dark after a night of big storms.

    5:30am we took off as normal to do a little BRR hill repeat work as we all know BRR is in the mountains!

    Ran about 1.6miles to the magic spot to start the hill repeats where some got 2 or 3 rounds in before picking their path back to the AO.  We might have loss the “6” but thanks to Bleeder and “Fine my Phone” we quickly all arrived back safe.

    Good work by all and keep pushing so we will all be ready for BRR.  Great to see Bleeder and 2.0 along with having Lug back at it as always.  Wilson good to see as always, steady solid running while data collecting for big data.  Rosie you are fast and really fast at hills!

  • First “OTB” run

    4 strong for the first OTB WO.

    As we set out for an hour run who knew what we would end up with?  Good part was the humidity dropped and we tracked in around 7.1 miles making for a nice start to this Sunday.  Hills are not the main focus on this AO as we all need to prep for the distance and time on our feet for BRR as it coming soon I hear……….

    Good stuff and nice work by all that showed up for the official “OTB” Sunday run.  Hint those that showed up……”WILSON” not helping big data by Fart sacking.  Question to the group if you HC and Fartsack does that take data points away?  Jville hope your doing OK as I know you hit a wall this AM after the first mile.

     

  • Murph Friday

    8 strong men to take on Murph Friday!

    Mossy around the school + track for a mile to get to the main playground.

    10 rounds of the below with each round consisting of the following exercises.

    • 10 pullups
    • 20 Merkins
    • 30 squats

    After we completed the 10 rounds we headed back to the parking lot + adding the track to make the total millage 2 miles with a nice little beat-down in the middle.  Rosie thanks for taking the group into some LBCs as we gathered back at the flag.  With 2 mins. To go we decided American Hammers for 26 count would top off the MUrph and set us up for a great Holiday weekend!

    Strong work for all that showed up and as always it is a privilege to lead such a find group of men.  Great work by all and it was awesome to see the group jumping in pushing each other on the pull-ups!  Lastly we did get to experience a special speed round which was a new twist in the Murp….thanks Roper!

    Strong work for all that showed up and as always it is a privilege to lead such a find group of men.  Lots of complaining today from the PAX which means they loved the beat-down….  I think they tried to skip 1 of the 10 rounds on me but I am convinced now that they were correct!  Good work and remember every month the Murph repeats and believe me you will get stronger and better at those pull-ups!

  • Murph Monday

    Strong work for all that showed up and as always it is a privilege to lead such a find group of men.  Great to get Carmen Santiago taking count today as we powered through the 10 rounds, nice work!  I was very proud of the group as they continued to knock out all the pull ups.  Keep up the good work men and remember Iron sharpens Iron.

  • Frozen Corners @ River Run

    3 brave and dedicated souls rolled out of the fartsac at a warm -3 degrees and headed into the blistering RVA tundra for a “frozen corner” WO.  Not much talk and little interaction before we started promptly as we stepped out of the vehicles.

    Here is what went down from what I can remember……I think my brain has frost bite!

    Mossy through the snow covered field to the lower parking lot that luckily was somewhat plowed.

    4 corners with 5 stations that all brought pain.  Start with 10 burpees and run to corner 1

    • Corner 1 started with 10 burpees
      • Run to corner #2
    • Corner 2 started 20 merkins
      • Run back to corner #1 to perform 10 burpees
      • Repeat corner 1 & 2 as we head to corner #3
    • Corner 3 started with 30 squats
      • Run back to corner #2 to perform 20 merkins
      • Run to corner #1 to perform 10 burpees
      • Repeat corner 1,2&3 as we head to corner #4
    • Corner 4 started with 40 dry docks
      • Run back to corner #3 to perform 30 squats
      • Run back to corner #2 to perform 20 merkins
      • Run to corner #1 to perform 10 burpees
      • Repeat corner 1,2,3 &4 as we head to corner #5
    • Corner 5 started with 50 LBC’s (modify to 100)
      • Run back to corner #4 to perform 40 dry docks
      • Run back to corner #3 to perform 30 squats
      • Run back to corner #2 to perform 20 merkins
      • Run to corner #1 to perform 10 burpees

    This completed frozen corners but we were lucky enough to still have time so we took the corners on for 1 last round of running to get to LBC land (total 150).

    Mossy back to the start and decided for the spirit of the LBC challenge we would do 150 more.

    With time running out we did a slow mossy back to the parking lot for the last 100 LBCs.

    Strong work by the PAX that showed up in the fridged gloom.  It was a privilege to lead a fine group of men for my virgin Q in Richmond F3.  Mumble chatter was at an all-time low along with the temps.
