i took time away from leading Qs, one thing is simply enjoy the workouts led by others yet the other part is yours truly on a tear going to this or doing that which takes me away from going to my usual spots especially the weekend ones. This morning…..15 brave souls(they forgot to read the Satan’s Hill and 1st fitness board to bring a weight). Luckily I brought a few extras plus the Cindy’s and Crabgrass having a couple sandbags available we worked it out. I like to try things out, do things we all are not used to today…
12 inspiring men of the gloom brought their KB’s to Circus Maximus to see what Fudd had in store. COP SSH’s, helicopters, stretches, merkins, Ukranian Soldiers, arm circles, Copperhead Squats, and some other stuff Mosey South down the alley behind the school with KB at rifle carry, circle up midway for a few exercises, continue south and start doing lunges while passing the KB between your legs with each lunge (Fireman Ed named this “Magics”. Stop and do 5 burpees and keep going. Arrive at the basketball courts and line up on the baseline for KB suicides. Do 5 reps…
The Pax set out on a route as simple as it gets with YHC. Here’s where: The Route R on Pump R on Ridgefield R on Raintree Circle the Lake behind the Raintree Racquet and Swim Club Continue on Raintree to Gayton Reverso on Raintree L on Falconbridge R on Pump Back to SF Numberama, Nameorama, COT MOLESKIN The Pax was greeted by Salt Lick’s hairy 2.0, Gloom. Well-meaning, but a bit eccentric, Lulu said “Boy Bye” and Wally was just like “Chill Bruh.” Miles were accomplished, no pickups were injured. It was a beautiful morning, ruined by the fact…
Beckoned by the sounds of Snuff Underground: Machine Forge, eight T-100 model Terminators arrived in the fading gloom. One of a few final fleeting dawns before humanity is eaten by A.I. Mosey to warmarama. Mosey around to the hill + wall. 11s mirkins run up the hill donkey kicks on the wall and back down. ICBMs in the air, we stumbled to the glass-strewn fallout shelter. Dry, dark and safe for a Dora. 200 LBCs, 300 squats, 400 monkey humpers. Mostly over the hump, audible to a hand release mirkin rendition singing ‘Let the Bodies Hit the Floor.’ And when…
2 Ruckers and 3 runners (a flip from Tuesday) came out for the second run of the week Ruckers – Did their route around Rutland Runners – 4+ mile loop around Bojangles, then over the fly over to Craney Island loop then back to the clubhouse Opus was sporting his new shoes from Lucky Road now opened in Mechanicsville! SPIT ON THAT!!
4 HIM took the challenge of posting for a House Party Q with little to no running involved. 70 and sunny conditions as usual. Here’s what went down. Slow mosey around the parking lot and circle up for warmarama which consisted of arm circles, helicopters, dead man hang, merkins and WWII’s. COP 1 – 4 corners, prostitute style but instead of repeating the exercise on the way back, we did 3 burpees. Exercieses were 10 hand release merkins, 20 flutter kicks, 30 monkey humpers, and 40 SSH’s. COP 2 – Quadruple check with bicep curls, shoulder press, bent over rows.…
YHC heard the F3 RVA satellite office known as The Clinic was located somewhere in the sunshine state. After five days and 25mi rucked along the redneck riviera, still no sign of any glowing neon calling YHC home. Still a couple more days and miles under load to go. Will report back.
4, no 5, gentlemen of the gloom staggered in for 45 MOM. After processing Gumbo’s relief that he was not abandoned as a lone wolf today, we commenced our beatdown at 531. Here’s what happened: COP on the blacktop: Deadman hang / helicopters / DQs / Imperial Walkers / Ukranian Soldiers / Copperhead Squats / APDs / LBCs. Mosey to edge of blacktop. Descending Jacob’s Ladder: Starting at 100 reps, the Q calls an excercise and a mode of transportation across the blacktop. Modes of transport included a mosey, karaoke, Bernie Sanders, High Knees, Lunges, Broad Jumps, and Sprint. Excercises…
1 HIM turned Into Bristlecone Blvd anticipating the view of tail/headlights in the PFP parking lot since YHC rang out a “ruck tomorrow” announcement over the #newkent channel last night. Beaver really did not want any part of getting out of the fart sack this morning, but I can’t post an OTB ruck and not show up for the men. Getting up and to an AO truly is half the battle, so since I’m here why throw in the towel now? Since I’ve got some extra time this morning let’s give it some extra effort and take her 5 miles…
14 grown boys came out to Timberwolf this morning to play some Ultimate! Initially YHC thought we had 13 but Matlock emerged from the shadows like a ninja and suddenly appeared while we stretched. Moseyed down to the track to stretch. Gabe the mission and got right into it. Full length of the field and end zones were the full width of the field this time around. Team 1: Warby, Mudslide, Tzatziki, Fly Boy, Wildcat, Woodsman, The Duke Team 2: Crabgrass, Fandango, Festivus, Cookie, Matlock, Bru, Rudy Team 1 executed their playbook to perfection (think Patriots dink and dunk offense…
