Three of the F3RVA pax made it out for this morning’s edition of RH. At 4:58am YHC was considering his options had 2 of his fellow ruckers not made an appearance. Thanks for the company! Given the conditions we headed into Larus where we were afforded some cover from the elements as we traversed red, green then blue and back to red trails. Till the next one.
A wonderful group of 5 FW regulars decided to test the conditions this morning. Just a mere sprinkle. In search of cover we mosey over to the church for dry introductions and disclaimers all in conversation. These included dead man hang, SSH’s, Jazzercise and some other items.
7 of Clubs was that call for the day. At each of the 3 covered areas perform multiple of 7 exercises (up to 28) while running inbetween. Exercises included HR Merkins (7), WWII’s (14), Squats (21), Lunges (i think was 28), LBC’s (21), Shoulder Taps(14) and Flutters (7).
Mosey back to the main entrance for Quintuple Check. Timer runs to the brick structure. Exercises included Peoples Chair, Ukrainian Soldiers, Balls to the Wall, Dirty Hookups. 2 rounds completed.
Stop back at the 1st covering for a quick exercise then BTTVF for numbers, names, announcements and prayers. YHC took us out so Atilla could get back to handle business.
Announcements: Convergence on Monday; Breaking Bread looking for someone on Saturday; Summer Tour commeth soon.
NMS: Phenomenal group of fellows came out to complain about the rain, but still showed up. Thank you fellas for not leaving me on my own. Good mumblechatter was had as typically expected at FW. Thank you boys for the opportunity to lead.
Knocked out a traditional route. Took a few minutes to walk and read some of the local historical markers.
Got our usual 3 miles in on our ruck today. Wonka is our bird expert of the PAX and he confirmed what we thought was an owl was indeed just a stump. Glad we have these kinds of experts in our gang.
4 Ruckers and 2 Runners enjoy spring temps for Day 2 of YHC’s takeover
Ruckers – Did their thing with route around the grounds
Runners – Did the King’s Drive Loop getting in 4.25 miles and finish with walk with the Ruckers
Happy Birthday Opus!!
SPIT ON THAT!!
POOLBOY’s 1 year Qversary
long mosey to the bball court for the the WARMARAMA. Helicopters, cherry pickers and 44SSH. Hoedowns on the wall 15 count x2 to equal 30. Mosey to the busloop. I measured and verified it was exactly 127ft long kinda for a curb crawl. Long mosey to the cow pasture for some Turkish getups on the fence. My two least favorite workouts are running and burpees so that’s what we did. 10 burpees at 3 spots (30)while running the perimeter of the cow pasture to the Pavillion. From here we made it to the parking lot for abc’s then pole dancers and stiletto double clutch squats. I noticed Broadway was missing out on some merkins so I had to call it. We Bernied the hill and crawl bear down 5ish times. We finished off with a ring of fire on the yoga mat for abs. This was a fast fun Q to mark the 1 year. It was one day shy of a year so 364, 127 is how many Posts I’ve had, 44 lbs I’ve lost, 30 Q’s, and 5ish FNG’s. Thanks to everyone continuing to push me.
Possibly the highest turnout yet at SCCC, and the track was “closed for construction.”. Undeterred, we pivoted and found ourselves on a grass field so pristine it made Augusta look like a cow pasture. No divots were left behind—scout’s honor.
The Thang:
Improvised but effective. We kept it moving and made the most of the country club turf.
Mumble Chatter:
The facilities at St. Christopher’s got rave reviews—manicured fields, and a general air of “we don’t belong here, but we’re not leaving.” Much discussion centered around the recent globe-trotting adventures of Mr. Water Bottle, who may or may not be scouting international AO expansions.
Hitchhiker arrived exactly when expected, which is to say, right on time. Glad to have two new-comers to SCCC join us 1-800 and Garbage Plate!!
COT:
Gratitude for the good things we have to be thankful for and to pass on some good to others.

Ten noble warriors ventured to Heartbreak Ridge hoping to avoid the Ridge. After ten minutes of typical warmups, we instead hit the tennis courts for some dodgeball. Tatar and Mr. Rogers sat out and did their own exercises–due to some combination of injury, keeping teams even and recurring wedgy nightmares from 8th grade.
We did best of 5. Team Fuddskinattilahouse vs Team Handfrogsnakarone. You get hit or your ball gets caught, you go to the designated area and do 5 burpees and then can come back. If no one from your team is left in the doubles court, you lose. After Handshake reminded us of the 5 D’s of Dodgeball, we began.
Final result: Team Handfrogsnakarone won 3 via great dodging, dipping, diving, ducking and dodging. Team Fuddskinattilahouse won 2 by technicality–the other team still had ‘alive’ players but was getting balls off court. Were those details necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No, but I do it anyway because it’s sterile and I like the taste.
We left the courts with enough time to hit the benches in the front of the school for two rounds of Bulgarians, dips and one round of derkins.
Back to the flag for heels to heaven, flutters, lbcs and ten burpees.
Christmas in July is coming soon but until then, there is the Memorial Day convergence at 7 at Tredegar and Pickleball starting the following Monday at Forest Hill Park. And don’t forget, I don’t think I’m a lot dumber than you think that I thought that I thought I was once.
