It has been a month since the Anvil opened up and YHC wanted to touch back on some of the things that have been done in that time. the thinking was that it would be a relay race and looked really good on paper. So the call went out to gather the required number for the PAX (oddly enough the threat of a Murph actually brought more people to the AO). It went …ok, some changes need to be made before it come back out again.

Welcome to Speed Racer, he and the entire PAX made a strong showing and crushed the workout.

It was good to get back to the Anvil after a week off. There was a plan for today’s workout that was thrown out the window once Spit asked if we could a one burpee at the beginning of the workout for a birthday celebration. That sounds like a great idea and if we are doing one why not do a lot more. This all sounded great and that YHC blames on the fever that he had the night before. Solid effort was put in by all and it was great to have Bucket Mouth returning for the summer.

Thanks for letting me lead

9 warriors stormed the still ‘new’ AO and engaged in an early-morning party that went something like this…

Numberama, Namerama, Announcements, Emoji took us out.

Announcements:

• Summer tour

NMS:

YHC hasn’t been to The Anvil yet but he signed up to Q in light of a need. YHC arrived near 5 am to scope out the area and quickly saw multiple opportunities for “fun” and pain. The COP brought more ridiculousness from Emoji and it is more than expected at this point. There is no one like him!

YHC brought a multi-sided object from Dave & Busters that had exercises on each side (can’t remember the number of sides). YHC took the PAX out to the track and timed a minute run before each exercise. The PAX seemed to enjoy the uncertainty of what exercise was coming next.

The move to the inside part of the campus school brought many cheers in light of the rain. The PAX went to work and knocked out the exercises. Byproduct and Marco Polo took no prisoners.

All of the PAX pushed hard and benefited from their investment of energy. This AO is the real deal and there is ample opportunities for challenges going forward.

The Carpenter

6 hardy souls came out to the second iteration of The Anvil. Here is how we toiled.

Mosey to blacktop for COP: SSH, DQ, arm circles, some other stuff. Mosey to track, trying to EH someone along the way, without success (for now). What a welcome sight, a 75 pound sandbag with handles!

Each PAX took a turn throwing Deadweight (the sandbag) forward, then do a lap around the track, once you catch up, toss it again. Once the PAX had made it a quarter way around, switch to sandbag burpees with a throw at the end, another lap, rinse, repeat until another quarter lap was done. Switch to: throw it forward, next PAX bear crawls to where it lands, they throw it forward, repeat until the last of the track is complete. Mosey to field for Ring of Fire, explosive merkins with handclaps.

Mosey to the flag, numberama, namerama, Chewy took us out.

Numbers were down this week, but those who showed up got to meet Deadweight, Mudface’s sandbag friend. Mudface tried his best to EH the guy doing laps, he seemed interested (hey, he was already up and here) but didn’t stick around this time. The PAX put in some miles this morning, a little over 3 in total. Not a typical Mudface Q, but we’ve just scratched the surface of The Anvil. YHC and Chewy are familiar with Deadweight, unfortunately, and keep hoping he disappears, but he has now shown up at every Mechanicsville AO. He might go on tour this summer…

Let’s get more numbers here next week, need to keep this AO going!

As usual, I have No Idea what I’m doing.

19 F3 Warriors broke themselves upon The Anvil, baptizing it with their sweat, and came out stronger and tougher.

Mudface created this AO, and led the first day. Mosey from the parking lot to the playground blacktop for COP: SSH, DQ, LBC’s and Merkins. Mosey to the field by the track for Belching: PAX begins on their bellies, when the Q yells “GO” the PAX runs 10 strides, drops and performs 10 HRM’s. PAX then low crawl back or forward to line up with the Q until a straight line is achieved. Repeat until the PAX reaches the end of the field. Run up the hill (foreshadowing) until reaching the back corner of the AO, than cross to opposite back corner, stopping to touch every tree and perform 10 single count crab cakes each time.

Run down hill to back of school to start Burp Back Mountain: partner up, one partner does Bernie Sanders back up the hill while his compatriot does burpees, switch out when he returns, continue until 100 burpees are completed.

Wall tunnel time: PAX line up in people’s chair against wall, starting at far end each PAX bear crawls through the tunnel, repeat again with PAX pressing only shoulders against the wall.

Mosey to rock pit by original parking lot, grab a rock and do boat/canoe’s to Chewy’s count. Mosey back to flags, numberama, namerama, Chewy took us out.

What a great showing to open The Anvil. This AO is huge, and Mudface showed the PAX what could be done, and how many possibilities there are to sharpen ourselves. YHC counted 6 different playgrounds, along with a track, and inside the courtyard there are more benches, etc. The mumblechatter started right away, as some PAX thought the Q took some liberties with his cadence during arm circles, but hey, he’s the Q, he leads his way. Mudface had fun getting the PAX to false start during Belching, and the PAX responded by getting very creative with how many strides made up ’10.’ This and running to each tree was a good warmup to the Burp Back Mountain, and YHC’s legs were toast after running the hill and burpees.

The wall work served as a bit of a rest and mumblechatter centered on the size of the crawlers and how much ‘natural gas’ could Rounders unleash on you from that vantage point. It was great to have visitors help Davillians break in our new AO, thanks for coming Offshore, EF Hutton, Byproduct and Scrum. Hopefully our flags and numbers were noticed by many driving by and we’ll start to get members from the 111. Great job of Q’ing by Mudface!

Announcement: Puppy Pile this Saturday after Dogpile.

As usual, both Mudface and YHC have No Idea what we’re doing.
