TYA showed up on crutches. We had a late comer from Charleston SC, Chaka, join us. (A good idea is to stay around the flag and do the warm-up before taking off. Another good idea is to bring your flag! Our late comer saw the flag and spotted us around the back of the school.) Hitchhiker was disappointed we didn’t play pickleball. Everyone got introduced to Mike Tyson; the exercise, not the Man. Mosey to asphalt playground behind school Disclaimer; Warmup with SSHs Don Quixote Squats Stretches Next: 7 minutes of Burpees Stretch Mosey to side of asphalt area next…

YHC saw the Q was open for today and filled the need if only to ensure I had to be there in the morning. It was another beautiful day in RVA. 4 strong arrived for what they may have assumed was a well planned workout – including Chaplain on his summer tour.

Mosey on to the back of the school and do…

At 0527 YHC pulled up to Mary to see an empty parking lot. In the distance the Bat Mobile could be seen but it wasn’t clear if anyone was in the car. Moments later Bleeder exits, so there were 2. At 0529 Fergie pulls up, so then there were 3. With SOJ Takeover happening this week it was clear out Q was not coming (YHC hopes the original Q is ok), so YHC took the Q. Mosey to the Recess Blacktop for a COP of various exercises. With a pax of 3 we quickly assembled for a Triple Check. P1…

YHC got the 50/50 committal from an FNG, which in F3 parlance means ‘not a chance in hell.’ Best practices according to Shakedown: ‘offer to pick him up on the way in.’ Lesson learned. Ruckers headed out and the warmarama commenced: SSHs, Don Quixotes, helicopters. Imperial squat walkers… what? Is that some kind of complicated southside mating dance? LBCs, then some Rosalita whips… what? It’s true what you’ve heard, the SOJ evolution has led to some exercise inbreeding. Mosey to the pavilion for some 5 station picnic table rotation: incline mirkins, dips, step ups, dirty hookups and WW2s. Mosey to…
