32 of RVA’s finest started rolling in early to see who would claim the ghost flag and also witness the end of what seemed like the never ending Hate for YHC.  YHC put out a few tweets and notes to try to drum up some numbers but apparently behind the scenes there was even more action.  Thanks for the effort Gumbo, with some help from my M. THANG 10 burpees to start with 10 more every 15 minutes.  Mosey to the blacktop for some Abe Vigoda’s for the old man.  These might have even been a little slow for SAAB. …

An impressive 23 showed up for this week’s Mary.  Perfect weather and not your average summer morning. Mosey to the soccer field for COP. Don Quixote Arm Circles Russian Soldiers Imperial Walkers SSH 5 Burpees Line up on the end  zone of the field and form two columns for Bode Miller.  Pax planks head to toe while the “six” bunny hops up the column in a serpentine fashion.  Inchworm your way down the line to the other end of the field. Next up was the Beast with modifications.  YHC would name an exercise and call on a member of the…

Twitter lit up last night about the possibility of there being at least a couple FNG’s this morning at Mary, along with one kinda visitor.  I say kinda, because Obama (F3 Swamp Rabbit) posts often enough and knows enough folks up here to hold dual citizenship with F3 RVA.  Not going to lie, in the light of day, I was really scratching my head figuring out who were FNG’s, who were the visitors, and who were F3RVA guys which I just wasn’t too familiar with.  Besides, it was a massive group of 30 guys with too many LIFO’s to count…
