  • 2 climb at Daville

    YHC arrived to an empty parking lot and initially thought that it was going to be a solo ride in the gloom this morning. However, Phonics came in hot and here is what went down.

    COP

    We stay in parking lot to warm up with 15 SSH, 10 DQ, 10 Helicopters, 15 armcircles 10 small and 5big, reverso, 10 imperial walkers, 20 lbc’s and 10 4ct american hammers.

    THANG

    We mosey across the street to the path for the bridge above the train tracks. It is Dora time. We start with 100 lunges, 200 squats and 300 LBC’s. We alternate with one partner running to the stop light ahead sign and back. Repeato and we have a great workout for this am as we mosey back to the flag.

    Numberama, namerama, YHC took us out in prayer.

  • Did I get the wrong day?

    Three gentlemen posted at Atlee High School for a bootcamp on this 70 something and partly sunny morning. The Q was unable to make it, so YHC took the lead and off we went.

    NMS

    It was quite surprising posting on a Monday when Corned Beef was unable to make it but Yard Sale was there. Did I mix up the days. Was this the Ruck/Run Tuesday workout instead of Monday’s bootcamp.

    It was great having Yard Sale and Trout there this morning. Thanks for following my lead. You both did outstanding.

    Announcements – F3RVA 1/2 marathon/10K/5K coming up. See slack or possibly Speakeasy for more information.

    No announcements & great discussion about how well the 2.0 event was and that we should look at expanding it (i.e. – rotating it around the region every Saturday AM). Prayers for the unspoken things that lay on our hearts.

    Stay Frosty & SYITHG!

  • The benefits of Plank-O-Rama

    Great to see Blue Moon again travelling to DaVille. Didn’t realize Blue Moon is a swimmer as well. Might run into you at a Master’s swim class in DaVille sometime soon.

    First time YHC had made it to the DaVille bootcamp in quite a while. Felt great to be back. Luckily, Boo Boo gave YHC just enough time to lead everybody’s favorite: Plank-O-Rama. This is generally something people don’t forget and always hopes YHC brings it back. This works all parts of the core and hips. What’s not to love?

    Hope to see more travelers soon.

    Gotta Run!

  • Daville – 5 Stars

    Stardate 20241006: Captain’s Log,
    On this day 1 SOJ, 1 Tuckahoe and 5 Davillians convened on the amicable planet of Daville. Despite this being an SOJ takeover, the local inhabitants were more than willing to cede control, demonstrating their renowned hospitality. Our languages, though remarkably similar, revealed a humorous disparity in counting skills among the locals (adjustments were made). It is our hope that this SOJ week will prove to be a mutually enlightening experience for all involved.

    Warmarama: Slow mosey to the other quadrants and back to home base. Counting was challenging but we pushed through. SSH, Imperial Walkers, Copper Head Squats, Helicopters, LBC, Hello Dollys, Alabama Prom Dates.

    The Thang: Storms approaching, mosey to the middle of the parking lot.
    The Eye of the Storm: 5 Burpees
    Corner 1: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 Merkins. Davillians = 10 Merkins + 10 Merkins.
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 2: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 Cherry Pickers. Davillians = 10 Cherry Pickers + 10 Cherry Pickers
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 3: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 Squats. Davillians = 10 Squats + 10 Squats
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 4: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 40 SSH. Davillians = 10 SSH + 10 SSH + 10 SSH + 10 SSH

    Repeat:
    Corner 1: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 Merkins. Davillians = 10 Merkins + 10 Merkins.
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 2: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 WWII. Davillians = 10 WWII + 10 WWII
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 3: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 Squats. Davillians = 10 Squats + 10 Squats
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 4: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 40 SSH. Davillians = 10 SSH + 10 SSH + 10 SSH + 10 SSH

    Repeat:
    Corner 1: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 Merkins. Davillians = 10 Merkins + 10 Merkins.
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 2: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 Heals to Heaven. Davillians = 10 Heals to Heaven+ 10 Heals to Heaven
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 3: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 20 Squats. Davillians = 10 Squats + 10 Squats
    Back to the Middle = 5 Burpees
    Corner 4: SOJ and Tuckahoe = 40 SSH. Davillians = 10 SSH + 10 SSH + 10 SSH + 10 SSH

    Mosey to Corner1: 20 Merkins or 10 Merkins + 10 Merkins
    Mosey to Corner2: 20 Squats or 10 Squats + 10 Squats
    Mosey BTTF for some Mary: LBC, Flutter Kicks, Heals to Heaven, American Hammers.
