5 DaVillians started their weekend the right way. The PAX decided to a hot potato Q.
Mr Holland Q:
COP
Island hopping with a bunch of exercises at each island
Opus Q:
Rotating 4 corners
4 minute wall sit with burpees for rest
Spit Q:
Polesmokers x 2 rounds of flitterkicks and heals to heaven
Bulkhead Q:
Mosey back to flag, stop at each light pole for an exercise.
Stretching to close out
Numbers, names, Opus took us out.
Prayers to Beat It’s friends and their son.
6 men met up and did a set of Doras with a hot potatoe q. Switched to bear crawls around the benches with step ups, dips, and merkins. Went into a round of blimps with bear crawls in between, but a bus came so had to pivot. Ran up the hill with increasing numbers of Merkins, then back to the flag.
Warm up
100 burpees: Run across parking lot to do 10 burpees and repeat all the way to 100 burpees
triple check ALL the way up Satan’s hill with ab exercises
Ended with circle of trust/prayer
The B-Dubbers hit the streets early, eagerly anticipating a mystery Q at Twin Team. No House Party this morning – but we had to persevere. Route was the standard out and back up Robious Road. Lots of great conversation including the pronunciation of Botetourt.
SYITG
Seven men and two canines set out to find one new street in WestHoe. Results: Negative?
Here’s where:
MOLESKIN
The run started with a discussion of obscure rules in football. Whitesnickerdoodle is just glad we won. As we reverso’d on Windingridge we passed the house of one of Mr. Rogers’s stepson’s old girlfriends. He told a story of an unauthorized closed door and the subsequent walk of shame. Ask him about it, I’m sure he’s happy to re-tell it. At coffee, UpChuck namedropped the wrong name, but the moral of the story was the Beatles may not be the Beatles.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Twelve of the most loyal fellas east of Parham road gathered in the most well-lit parking lot in the city for today’s edition of RAMM. Route was posted early so there weren’t many questions. In fact, even Faceplant generally knew where he was going.
The Route
https://onthegomap.com/s/hg080or6
Everyone go east on Grove then south on Malvern into Windsor Farms. Begin the horseshoe, veering left at the triangle park onto Clovelly for some virgin ground. Touch the bottom then reverse course. 4s turn around at Park, 5s at Broad, 6s all the way to Top Golf and inspect the parking lot there.
Everyone returned on time before numbers, names, and YHC took us out.
Moleskin
YHC hadn’t Q’d RAMM since the summer so was well overdue. Creativity was lacking yesterday so the good ole topographic map of Richmond was consulted to try to find a strong contrast of red/green while keeping us generally close to the AO. Clovelly was found and thus the route was created using that road as inspiration.
It was virgin ground for YHC. Even if I saw 4 gentlemen exit the depths of Clovelly as I was entering, that’s still new ground for me. Post run mumblechatter was generally positive, with comments on how that road could be combined with other hills over there to make a better route than out and back on Malvern. Regardless, seems like a keeper.
YHC ran solo today but still had great conversation. You’ll have to ask what we discussed.
Announcements
Splinter out.
2 time traveling bootcamp enthusiasts took a trip back in time to their early teens! The year was 1997! They moseyed their way from the shovel flag, around the North soccer field and into the west octagon for some Warmarama that included: SSH’s, DQ’s, Tie Fighters, Tony Hortons, and many legs stretches.
The song “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba rang out through the audiovox boombox so what else would 2 F3 guys do in this situation? Nancy Kerrigan to the entire song and drop for burpees every time we heard “ I get knocked down!” Duh!
We moseyed to the front entrance gate for 25 Turkish get ups with an incline merkin at the top.
We grabbed a kettlebell and moseyed to the hill for 20 Bernie ups and back downs.
Finish with some harder than usual Mary at the shovel flag!
YHC closed us out with COT,
3 guys, one with a serious abhorrence for christmas inflatables, showed up today to take on the day the right way.
COP — IW, SSH, Crunchy Frogs, AST’s, plank jack merkins, Helicopters, DQ, Arm circles, LBC’s, Dying Cockroach
Triple check
One person around the office building, one doing calf raises, one doing donkey kicks
5 minute wall sit.
When you break form, do 1 burpee and go back to wall sit. so much fun.

Great times this morning. Beat it will be 40 this weekend and is celebrating his birthday eve by Q’ing Saturday at Dapile!
9 kind souls and one new playlist gathered around the warm fires of the Forge for an beatdown audible. Tin Man’s 50th VQ will have to take a rain check after too much egg nogg at Rosie’s Christmas Special.
Crank up the volume: Warmarama. Mosey to the amphitheater for a triple check: run the loop, WW2s, squats. Then, 11s with box jumps up the big steps, incline mirkins and dips.
Mosey over for some wall work Pigskin-style: people’s chair, balls to the wall, and donkey kicks, each 3 times.
Mosey to back to the flag for some ab Mary, some mirkin Mary, and some breathing exercises to the sound of violins.
COT. Prayers for those on IR including Tin Man.
Warm welcome to Salt Lick, except, where’s that warm Texas weather we were promised? Look forward to seeing his enthusiasm out there this season. And welcome back Dookie – new Green Day pop-punk playlist coming soon! Great to see you both.
