    DaVille is an AO that is made for running, and they run YHC from one end of that thing to the other, but every now and then you need some ground and pound for variety.  As ecpected the PAX crushed it this morning.

    YHC was glad to see Mudface at Daville who was so motivated that he is going to Q Daville next week(October 27, 2020). YHC was also happy to meet Kevin Waldron(Friend of Spike) who now has an F3 name—HOOK. YHC also summed up the merkin count of 220 (20 warm up, 120 triple check and 80 in Tabata). We performed some stretches this morning so Hook will not be as sore the next few days. Welcome HOOK and it was and honor to lead you gents this morning. I look forward to seeing you in the gloom.

    T-Claps to Mud Face for keeping up with the PAX. YHC know that this run heavy workout is outside his comfort zone.

    Names, Numbers announcements

    Good times this morning, gentlemen!

  • Crabwalking is Child’s Play…

    …as in, it was fun as a child when you were playing, but it’s definitely no longer fun. Just like mixing all of the sodas at the self-serve fountain, or asking the same question every 8 seconds. More on that later, but YHC just wanted to get that out there from the start.

    Nine of the hottest potatoes this side of the City Limits gathered in the gloom with no idea what was coming. Here’s how it went:

    Mr. Holland took the PAX around to the bus loop for a COP that couldn’t be beat: SSH, Don Quixote, Helicopters, Russian Soldiers, LBCs, hand-release merkins, and a pass off to Helix.

    Mosey to a basketball court for Doracides: partner 1 runs a suicide, while partner two works on the exercises: 100 merkins, 200 squats, 300 invisible jump ropes. Pass to Carpenter.

    Mosey to the tennis court for the Four Ab Corners: WWIIs, flutter kicks, LBCs, and American Hammers @ x 20 each. Crab walk the short sides of the rectangle, and bear crawl the long sides. Here YHC must reiterate that crab walking is garbage. After some ceremonial side straddle hops in honor of Carpenter taking the reins, the potato was passed to Bulkhead for “Shoot – it’s a Ladder!”

    On the tennis court, next up was a squat ladder. 1 squat, two sumo squats; 2 squats, 2 sumo squats, etc – up to 10 squats/2 sumo. Mosey to the playground for another ladder. 1 pull-up/2 merkins, 2 pull ups/4 merkins, up to 5 pull ups/10 merkins.

    Mosey back to the flag, and Spike gets his name on the Q potato, initiating a Ring of Fire before time was called. Numbers, Names, and No ‘Nouncements.

    YNWA (unless you are a crab),

    F3 Greenwood saved the best for last! That was a smoker. The murder bunny was defintiely difficult but the great equalizer was the 50 Alternating block Merkins (which was really 100 Merkins). With cold wet hat at this point, the Daville PAX had to slow things down.

    TClaps to Spike for leading the way with a time around 27:20.

    The PAX Average: 31:40

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • Inaugural Daville 35

    12 Davillians (11 + 1 honorary member) verged on the grounds of the Rutland clubhouse parking lot for a great alternative to the Colonial 70.

    This how it when down

    Setup: 4 teams arrived at the parking lot at 4:30am, setup camp, warmed up, and got instructions from YHC on the 35 mile race.

    THANG

    There were 4 teams of 3 runners. Each runner would completed two loops (6.2 miles & 5.5 miles) in a relay style race.

    Routes

    Loop #1 – 6.2 miles (10K) took the runners over the fly over to service road around and behind Atlee HS. Then into Honey Meadows and around the trail. Finally back the same way then around the Bojangles loop

    Loop #2 – 5.5 miles took the runners around the Rutland Neighborhood into Knollwood for a loop and a hill. Out of Knollwood into Cool Spring West for a loop around that trail. Out and back to Rutland passing the parking lot to the Bojangles loop

    MOLESKIN

    What a great CSAUP!! The PAX crushed their projected times with every team finishing in less than 5 hours. Team Trailblazers lead the way after time penalty was add to another team (more that later). Here were the results

    • Team Trailblazers (Marco Polo, Pavarotti, Helix) – 4:45:10
    • Team The Rat Pack (Faceplant, Corned Beef, Trout) – 4:46:20
    • Team United Nations (The Carpenter, Spit, Bulkhead) – 4:46:35
    • Team Alpha Omega (Sludge, Opus, Glide) – 4:57:20

    The Rat Pack had to take a unfortunate time penalty since Corned Beef didn’t take the correct turn on his 2nd run.

    A few highlights:

    • Faceplant to the title for the fastest 10k with a 44:25
    • Several PAX set PR’s on their 10k including YHC (47:34)
    • Thanks to Luggie who was our runner support on bike
    • “The Returners” (last year’s Colonial team) show what they learned from last year by prepping wiser.
    • The whole race felt like a competition with all team at one point within 5 minutes of each other and three time finishing within a minute and half.

    Final Thoughts – This was fun, challenging, and up lifting. The PAX is already looking forward to do it again soon!

    SPIT ON THAT!!
