YHC arrived to Twin Team with a full night of sleep and a Q that took on a special meaning for me and my M and her family today. Gumbo was already on location. YHC planted the flag with 7 men posting for a glorious Q. 0530…YHC deciding to run a slow loop around the front of BWES in hopes of picking up any late arrivals…..0533-Roscoe comes barreling into the parking lot. Mr. Roper loops back to pick him up and meet PAX at The Swamp. Sunrise a few moments away….good golly miss molly. Freakin beautiful! COP- x5 helicopters, x…

YHC was awoken last night to A LOT OF RAIN and immediately thought-no escaping this-does YHC wear the complete rain proof gear or minimal clothing and let it happen! SO BLESSED this am that the rain held off. YHC arrived at AO 0522 to empty parking lot but Rosie soon followed with Mr. Roper not far behind. Flag was planted!! 0530, time to mosey…..wait, 2 more cars come in HOT with Bullseye and Roscoe. Sweet, 5 stalwarts posted to Twin Team this am for another YHC 45 minutes of fun!! Mosey to front of stadium for COP: Helicopters x 10,…
5 veterans posted looking for a well-balanced bootcamp beatdown but were instead greeted with hill sprints and leg work. It went something like this: Circle the parking lot for the LIFO, then head over to the base of Twin Team for COP, including: DQs Helicopters SSHs Imperial Walkers Copperhead Squats LBCs Flutterkicks The THANG: Hill Repeats Mosey briskly up to the top of Twin Team to survey our mountain. Gather the six at the top then mosey back down part way (maybe 100 yards) for the first of several hill repeat sprints. The challenge was to get back to the…
4 RVA PAX assembled on the Friday morning of the 2018 CSAUP without concern of tapering…none of us were participating. The beatdown went down as follows: THANG COP: SSH, DQs, Merkins, Crab Cakes, LBCs Age Before Beauty Bearimeters: DK & Holland vs Roper & Roscoe – Partner 1 runs backwards around bus loop, Partner 2 bear crawls, swap when you meet-up until perimeter is complete. Mosey to High School Stop by side of gym for 11’s: Donkey Kicks + Pole Smokers Mosey to track parking lot for Touch-a-Light-Pole: Partner up – Partner 1 touches a light pole not touched, increasing…
A PAX eclipsing 40 ditched all common sense for about 18 hours to receive a plentiful helping of each of the three Fs. This was the F3RVA Century Classic. YHC has conversed with a number of individual PAX members about their experience, taking notes during the event and thinking about how to transcribe all of these memories into a backblast. There is no way YHC could do the stories justice by attempting to capture them for the collective PAX. Then, after chatting with Lockjaw and the (sober) Ronnie, it became clear. Treat the backblast as a living backblast. YHC will…
Four of the faithful posted at TwinTeam on a gusty, cool spring morning. YHC (Johnsonville) took Q, and this is what went down, more or less: 50x SSH to warm things up Mosey down to track (about 1/4 mi. away). Commence repeats consisting of 1 ten-rep set — escalating to, and holding at, 5 ten-rep sets — of exercises, immediately followed by a brisk 1/4 mi. repeat around the track, followed by 30 seconds of recovery. Rinso y repita. The exercises included merkins, jump squats, monkey humpers, scorpian Carolina drydocks, diamond merkins, plank jacks, ‘Merican hammers, WWII situps, and imperial…
5 PAX, and at least 1 deer, ignored the forecast of rain to take on Twin Team. Rain actually held off until the very end and weather was a glorious 64 degrees. Spring is now in the gloom: COP – Invisible Jumprope, Don Qs, Merkins, Flutterkicks, Scorpion Kicks, & Hillbillies Mosey to field behind BW, partner up. Partner 1 does Pull-ups while other runs field and back. Switch and repeat. Then head to short side of rectangle (or Square??) for Partner bear crawl. 1st man starts crawling field while other does 10 hand release merkins then runs and switches. Way…
A lucky 7 posted to Twin Team on this sunny and 70 morning that was sneaky cold. YHC pulled in a little before 0515 to see Rosie preparing to get some pre-game miles…SURE, I’m in, let’s go. Well with YHC throttling down the pace, we arrived back at the flag about 30 seconds after the Bell rang — no fear, with DK being the wily veteran that he is, he got COP started with SSHs near the cars in the fresh diesel-fume-filled air…Thanks DK. YHC claimed the Q and we mosey to the side of the school for some fresher…

3 strong posted for a windy morning at Twin Team and spent some time on the hill. Winklevoss and YHC exited the cars thinking it was just the two of us when Mr. Holland rolled in right on time. A lap around the parking lot to collect him and we were off. THANG Head out of the parking lot and up the sidewalk over to TwinTeam. Stop in the cul-de-sac for a warm up of SSH, DQ, Copperhead squats, Merkins and Flutter kicks. Mosey up the road to the third driveway for instructions. Jacobs Ladder – run 10 strides uphill,…
