Gumbo put out the late call for anyone interested in a pre-Convergence ruck. Poolboy answered the call and we got in 2.5 (Poolboy got 3+). Thanks for showing up Poolboy.
We had 47 studs show up this morning for a Holiday beatdown north of the wall in DaVille. YHC met with Gumbo, Mudslide and Upchuck to set the stage by planting shovel flags at 3 locations on the campus. Location 1 – Parking lot/soccer Field behind Atlee HS, Location 2 – Basket Ball Courts next to Bus Loop, Location 3 – Bus Loop. COP Mudslide started us off with a warm up of 20 SSH, 10 Ukrainian Soldiers, 10 4ct Imperial Squat Walkers, Good Morning Stretch and 20 merkins. THANG So Phonics took a group who wanted to mostly run…
Two for a run out of Godwin before the clown car to the official Independence day convergence at Atlee. We got in 5 miles with a very simple route. All runs are mobile COT so you gotta show to know. SYITG!! Gypsy
7 F3 studs made their way to Timberwolf for a solid morning of Ultimate Frisbee. Looking for even numbers, the PAX found themselves at odds. No problem for this crew. Mosey to the field and loosened up with a handful of stretches. YHC broke the ritual of SSHs first which may have confused a few. Teams were selected and we were off. 10 merkin penalties per touchdown against. The game was fierce as well as ear piercing as Flyboy attempted to disrupt passes with, what sounded like a helicopter impersonation or a cat caught in a helicopter???? Whatever it was…
2 pre-gloom warriors met at 4:30a on Wednesday for this weeks edition of the Swift Freakshow AKA The Graveyard Shift. Temperatures were spiritually 70 and sunny, while physically a light rain persisted through the time on the track. Usually held on Thursdays, we went with Wednesday this week because YHC is running the Brandermill 7.4k on Friday. Taper intervals were in the docket. According to the fleet of foot intrepid ladies who joined us at 5am, this is more or less what happened. .5 mile warm up in zone 2 1 lap at 7:30 pace, 1 lap recovery pace (9:30-10:30ish)…
2 Lumber Lovers emerged from the hazey gloom for a loggin beatdown! God bless those teachers! Warmarama! Mosey to the Snack Pavilion Stretches OYO for MC: Cherry pickers and tons of leg and hip focused stretches. Mosey to the flag for some logs! Meander with logs to the park entrance were some cones have been calling YHC’s name for weeks. COP1 – At every cone = 6 Curls. Lunge between cones. Travel back – at every cone = 10 bent over rows. MOT – Rifle carry/ after 2 steps = squat. Meander to the Football field COP 2 – 50…
You’ll have to ask Scram about Rule # 3. Today we had a strong group of 16 to help celebrate YHC’s ascension into the realm of respect. Here is a brief summary for viewing pleasure: Slaughter start on the Knoller Coaster: Bear Crawl up the hills, Lunge Walk across, Crab Walk down. Warm Up: Jazzercise, Ukranian Soldiers, Ski Jumps, Apple Bottom Poppers, HR Merkins, Freddy Mercuries, West Virginia Prom Dates, High Knees, Butt Kicks, Appalachian Lunge Walks, Hillbillies, Mummy Kicks. Exercise One: Indigenous People’s Mario Jumps. Man in the back completes 5 merkins, then runs to the front. We made…
Four ruckers and once again one runner posted on this sunny and 70 morning to Rutland. The ruckers likely did a loop around Rutland and Cool Spring Forest. The runner when to explore the trails at Atlee and Honey Meadows. YHC is still unsure what the semi-truck that was parked outside the YMCA entrance facing the wrong direction down Atlee Road was attempting to do. Luckily, one of Hanover’s finest was able to steer him in the correct direction. COT: Numberarama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, Beat It took us out. NMS Even though YHC was solo today on the run, much was…
A lucky seven arrived for a geriatric-led workout. YHC was pleased not only a visit by a distant pax member from out West, but Kubota’s choice of footwear which would be considered standard-issue at the Brandermill-Woods brunch club. Remember, although style is subjective, it can be objectively difficult on the eyes… Saab abides
