YHC arrived at Twin Team with about 5 minutes to spare. Expecting the usual Twin Team attendance, YHC was stoked to see the cars rolling in. A PAX of 15 arrived to help YHC say goodbye to his 30s. Here’s what went down:

Numbers, Names, Announcements, Prayer Requests, YHC took us out.

Announcements: Same as all week

Prayer Requests:

-Prayers for Don Draper’s dad

-Rosetta’s cousin

NMS:

For YHC, this morning was a great way to welcome the decade of silence. YHC’s age never really seemed to matter that much before (except maybe 16 and 21) but 40 has been on the brain for a while…seemed to mark the end of when one can call themselves “young” (and act young too). But, this PAX continues to remind YHC that such thinking is a waste of time. You guys are awesome and YHC is humbled to lead.

YHC was pumped to see some faces that he hadn’t seen since quarantine began….great to see Gumbo, Rosetta, Mr. Holland, and Don Draper! Missed you guys.

Thanks to the New Market crowd for shutting down Satan’s Hill today to make the trip to Twin Team….means a lot!

Also, thanks to DTH (and Cooper) for hitting all of YHC’s Qs this week.

Peace!

Numbers / Names Pee Dee took us out

NMS:

Sad news this morning, it seems that Pee Dee is moving back to the Raleigh NC area. It has been great having Pee Dee’s presence at our AO’s and we are better men for having been able to work out with him for the past few months. YHC speaks on behalf of the RVA PAX in saying that Pee Dee will be greatly missed but we hope to see him from time to time and pray that his house sells fast and without issue.

3 friends gathered in the warm rain soaked gloom of Twin Team to see where Doozy would lead them this morning.

NMS:

Not much to report on.

YHC really wanted to get Last Call to the top of Twin Team for his first full view of the hill. Last week Wojo gave Last Call a glimpse of it but didn’t get to the meat and potatoes of it.

A fabulous five of mixed nano-region reps converged at Twin Team for a very rusty Q . After spending a chunk of the quarantine in the Carolinas, it was a privilege to get back to the swing of things in RVA. YHC arrived at BWS at 5:10 wired for today’s beat down. Once the PAX assembled at 5:30, it was time for take off.

T-claps to the reminder that YHC has A few Qs this week (and thanks to GP for handling Monday) . YHC has sure been thrown off the last few weeks after being away. Prayers for DTH and his family as well as those named and unnamed this morning. We all have battles in various forms these last few months. We ask that the Good Lord continue to bless these men, their families and help us lean into the understanding.

Show yourself what you can do today.

Stay safe and see y’all tomorrow at Dog Pile.

-Wojo

5 faithful came out to perfect spring weather for a beatdown. The Q asked if anyone knew what day it was in history, no PAX answered so we got after it:

COP: SSH, Don Qs, Russian Soldiers, Merkins, Flutterkicks, 5 burpees.

Head to endline of field: run width of field, 5 burpees, run back, 5 burpees. Repeato x3, running total 35 burpees. Head down to stadium entrance, 5 more burpees.

Unveiling of DonkeyHumpers: 15 Donkey Kicks & 10 Pickle Pounders. 3 rounds. 5 more burpees. 15 more high & slow donkey kicks. 5 more burpees. Up to BWES field, 10 more burpees.

Over to playground: 3 sets of 8 pullups. 5 burpees. Alternate Bear crawl & lunge across field. back across side lunge & bear crawl. 5 more burpees.

Over to bus loop of BWES for Dora 123: 100 merkins, 200 jump squats, 300 LBCs. Mosey back to flag for 1 min of mary and 5 last burpees giving us 75 total. YHC took us out.

NMS: What better way to remember V-E day than 75 burpees during the beatdown. We had 3 PAX at 5:29 but then Mr Holland and PeeDee arrive to give us a solid 5 pax.

Starting off with runs & 30 burpees after the COP got the juices flowing. Doozy and Probation made it look easy. The PAX can thank Doublemint for the DonkeyHumpers, although after his suggestion on slack chose the fartstack this morning.

Probation shared with YHC his absence in the gloom was from his visiting a monastery recently. Apparently PeeDee’s super power is bear crawl – he was almost done with the whole field before we could switch to lunges.

YHC has been taking advantage of the stay-at-home time to watch documentaries with the 2.0s. After finishing a 10 hour series on WWII it is always inspiring what our grandparents went through and good lesson for us today on what courage looks like. And for anyone looking for a Q idea (boberry) V-J day is not too far off.

2 what has become regulars came out for a Twin Team showdown. YHC had a plan to take Snuff to the name sake this morning because he has never been there. Unfortunately Snuff fart sacked or went with a different AO so at 5:30 Last Call and YHC headed out and away from Twin Team.

Numbers / Names YHC took us out

NMS: As we were in our COT YHC talked about not having gone to Twin Team because Snuff was not present then Last Call reveals that he unknowingly has never been to Twin Team either. Through some discussion Last Call was under the impression that we called it Twin Team because of the ant hill between the ES and HS. No, No, No my friend we will show you Twin Team in all its glory.

NOTE TO SELF: As you have been told by yourself so many times never change your plan – morning of!!!!!! Name it and Claim it Baby.

Three PAX joined up to embrace a Friday morning workout at Twin Team. Here’s how it went:

One mile mosey around high school across Robious and up the path to the turnaround below Twin Team. COP – Don Q, SSH, squats, merkins, LBCs, flutters.

Mosey back to elementary school, locate hill (thanks Doozy), jacobs ladder – bear crawl up hill and burpees up to 6.

Mosey to bus loop – 11s. WWIIs and merkins.

Circle up for ab work – reverse crunches, rosalitas, dolly P, plank dips.

Great job guys, good to get the blood flowing this morning. Title was derived after a plan to run the Jacobs ladder up Twin Team, being YHC’s first Q at Twin Team, but instead departing the area after the COP. Stories were heralded of previous workouts utilizing the hill – suicides and Sisyphuses. Not today men. Appreciate the PAX following YHC around as I familiarized myself with various areas at the school.

Prayers and thoughts to Doozy’s family and MIL.

NMS:

Today starts YHC’s last year in the 40’s, looking from this side at 50 still seems like its a long way off because in my mind I’m not old enough to be pushing 50 but here we are. Thanks to Bullseye for starting the day out with me and playing along with it even though YHC lost count during the man killer burpees around set 7. We did find out that either the Ball & Chain goes faster with fewer people or that YHC might have made the run too short.
