  • Supple Leopard vs Anti-Sprinter

    A pair of able-bodied men sprang from their fartsacks and eagerly made their way to Atlee, where they greeted each other with no real plans of what they’d be doing that morning. We took turns leading activities, which YHC will do his level best to recall after nearly two weeks of procrastination:

    Helix got us started with the COP doing…things. I’m sure it included good stretching and at least one exercise we don’t normally do. After a solid warmup, Helix passed the Q and Holland took over.

    Mosey to the track, where we did a series of laps, stopping at each of the five sets of bleachers for a set of exercises:
    Lap 1 – dips x 10 each
    Lap 2 – reverse crunches x 10 each
    Lap 3 – incline merkins x 10 each
    Lap 4 – burpees x 5 each

    From here it was over to Helix and over to the Cool Spring playground for a lazy Dora: 100 of that thing where your feet are in a swing that is kind of like a crunch, 200 squats, 300 SSH. Timer did leg lifts while hanging from the pullup bar until they didn’t feel like it anymore.

    Back to Holland and back to the pavement. Run behind the schools, and stop at each speed bump for a new exercise. Highlights included WWIIs, Carolina drydocks, and YHC’s least favorite, sprinting to the next speed bump.

    All in all a successful outing, and an enjoyable well-earned coffee was the ideal ending.

  • Not Such A Block Party

    4 Davillians arrived on foggy Saturday for what as planned to be a block party.

    This how it went down

    3 Davillians arrived at 6:30 for the normal bootcamp with one arriving at 7:00 for a short walk while on IR

    The three grabbed a coupon (cinder block) and mosey over in front of the HS

    COP (ALL IC) – SSH, DQ, Hillbillies, LBC’s, Heels to Heaven, AL Prom Dates, HRM’s, AST’s, Arm Circles

    THANG

    Angry Dora – 50 Coupon Buprees, 100 Sit-Up + Press, 150 Coupon Merkins, & 200 Curls while partner(s) ran to the Atlee HS and back

    At this point YHC notice with most of the PAX still having some recovery from injuries called an audible. Coupons were put back by the SF and we headed out for a run

    4 on, 1 off – During a 30 min run, the pax ran at about 9:15 pace for 4 minutes followed by a 1 min walk. Got in around 2.8 miles

    Numberrama, Namerama, Announcements, YHC took us out

    MOLESKIN

    Good to see Speakeasy out walking while he figures out issues with his Gout. Was nice to take a run. It had been a while since YHC ran any distance

    Great 2nd F as always at The Local with Bulkhead and Surf N’ Turf joining us as well

    SPIT ON THAT!

  • DaTour Finale

    Six gloom HIM’s converged at Dapile as a hazy dawn broke over Daville. SPIT planted the flag and closed the door on a nasty coupon beatdown he’d prepared in case YHC no-showed. No chance boyz, this Summer Tour has GOT to end! Here’s how we all got a little stronger:

Today marked the last AO of the Summer Tour and wouldn’t have missed it for anything, especially with the AWESOME Daville gang. The PAX enjoyed a nice tour of the AO, excellent mumble chatter, and The Local Cup was brewed to perfection for a most excellent coffeerama following. Numbers bumped to 8 for coffee – Wonderful to see Bulkhead up on his feet locked and loaded with his weapon …AHEM pimpin swagger crutch. And also nice to see Surf&Turf come out. “Treat Yourself!” Really appreciated the opportunity to share about the upcoming Missions Trip at PNG. Our BLOG to read about past trips and how to support is www.hendersonsinmissions.blogspot.com Thanks again for the fine hospitality gents. Yours AYE! ~DTH

    This was YHC’s second post at Dapile and YHC’s first time Qing. A few cultural missteps were made on YHC’s part. Apparently Dapile is more like Dagridiron, but the Pax was still very gracious.

    Announcements – Labor Day Convergence – at Nuckols Farm new AO. Maybe to be named “Nuckols Deep” or at least it’s officially unofficial.

    Prayers – Bulkhead had Knee Surgery yesterday. Continued prayers for his mother as well.

  • 3 for Triple Chex

    Three came out for some fun at DaPile. At 6:30 it was just YHC and Yard Sale looking at a Clydesdale friendly beat down until Opus rolled in hot. With 3 in tow we went off:

    COP: SSH, Don Qs, Squats, Helicopters, Merkins, LBCs, Incorrect Scorpion Kicks.

    1st Triple Check: WWIIs, Jump Squats, & run loop and back. Mosey over to back fields: 4 Corners: 10 burpees, 20 Merkins, 30 WWIIS, 40 Squats. Add in some Mary. Mosey way back to football stadium.

    2nd Triple Check: Monkey Humpers, Reverse Crunch, run to middle of football lot. Long mosey back to flag & 1 min of Mary. YHC took us out.

    NMS: Nice way to finish up Westhoe Takeover in Daville. YHC hadn’t seen Opus or Yard Sale in a while so good to catch up with those dudes. Some Daville runners were absent, traveling south for the Homegrown Half/10k, although apparently Phonics was leading a disinformation campaign saying it was 6:00 PM today, not am. Classic Phonics, always looking for a leg up. Opus shared his shoulder is still messed up so we kept it light on the Merkins and instead ended up doing a fair amount of running, much to Yard Sale’s dismay.

    Well done all today. Great to see Rounders who YHC had not seen for quite a while. He has been recovering from knee surgery. Nice job modifying Opus who is recovering from a summer camp, slip-and-slide rib injury. I know you were in pain throughout today’s bootcamp.

    Nice work Beat It. This was a challenging bootcamp and you are always staying positive. Well done!

    Thank you for your support of my Q Helix.
