YHC took us out

Moleskin: First time at WaThohuk today—great AO, and we kept it going. I think we clocked somewhere between 3.8 – 4.0 miles today. Not too bad, well done, boys! Great seeing Roger Roger back out. Weird no one wanted to talk about Pickleball. Have a great!!!

The cars kept rolling in at WaThoHuk despite the locals’ insistence that there are only a few regulars. Discussion pre-workout centered on the typical WTH routes and also furnished the BB title, stated by a PAX not to be named but is older than YHC. Hint, all but Hops are older than me. After ensuring Pigskin that he would not need a head start or directions we headed off into the gloom.

Around the bus loop and to the track behind the school. No warm up (this is a run) let’s dive right into the Mega Beast. Run the track stop every 100m for 6 reps, finish the lap and reverso stopping at the same spots. 1/2 mile per round. Exercises were jump squats, merkins, WWII, Monkey humpers, Carolina Dry Docks, and Heels 2 Heaven. Hops was a little disappointed that burpees was not the last round but today did not feel like a burpee day. A group lap and extra lap around the parking lot got us to 4 miles total.

Phonics and Hops set the pace and the PAX enjoyed Olympic related chatter across the board, including disadvantages of using additional poles in the pole vault or the American 1500m winner. Good luck to Hops, visiting from C’ville and providing continuing education to the attorneys of the world. Look for him again in the coming months – we’ll make sure to have some burpees for you next time. The sign up on the Q sheet threw the regulars out of sync with an SOJ/Summer Tourist Q and downrange and DaVille PAX too. Thanks for letting me take the lead and fill in as Q for the morning.

Announcements – Westhoe Lunch next Tuesday; Others – See Slack

On the way to the AO, YHC expected to be running solo due to other regulars traveling and participating in the Westhoe takeover. However, he was pleasantly surprised to find two other cars in the parking lot. Two out of the three of us were recovering from injuries, so we decided to head to the Duck Pond. We ran loops around it, breaking after each loop for 20 Dips, 15 Derkins, and 25 Freddies. Blue Moon is recovering quite nicely, and YHC found it challenging at times to keep up with him. Overall, we covered 3.8 miles. SYITG!

Five of Short Pumps finest found the Wellesley Tunnel and the secret tennis courts to do some exercises up and down the “H”. During the search we did some warmups in the lot next to the lake: Ukrainian soldiers, DQ, Helicopters, arm circles, lbc and merkins.

When we got to the courts we started with 5 burpees at the middle of the “H” and then 25 WWII at every end of the “H” (100 total) with another 5 burpees every time you crossed the middle. All OYO. Some crossed the middle every time and did 20 burpees and some did not.

With better instructions we did it again but with a total of 50 merkins and crossing in between every set with 5 burpees. Math was involved to divide 50 merkins by 4.

We went back to the tunnel and did balls to the tunnel wall. The tunnel is round with curved ridged steel walls. We did 5 toe taps in cadence and all got down safely.
We headed back via the lake path and we all got over 3 miles and one extra minute for free.

Go get your 10th anniversary shirt, do the home grown half/10k, the ultimate tournament and/or the pickleball tournament. All in the next month.

And go listen to some Whitesnake!

four gathered on this hot and humid morning to shed some water weight and gain some muscle. The scheduled Q unfortunately suffered a back injury and hopefully won’t be out too long. YTH took the reins and here’s what went down. Mosey to COT 15 SSH, 10 Don qs, 10 Ukrainian solders, 10 merkins, 25 LBC, mosey to Wells Fargo branch. Partner for triple check: merkins, WW2s, jump squats, mosey to upper end of shopping center for non cumulative 4 corners with 15 WW2, 15 two count mountain climbers, 25 two count American hammers, 25 plank jacks. Mosey east to west broad village. Stop for 10 burpees, mosey along, stop for 25 LBCs, mosey stop for 25 two count flutter kicks, mosey along stop for 25 squats, mosey stop for 25 two count Freddy mercurys, mosey back to flag circle bus loop stop for 20 merkins and 25 two count American hammers, mosey to flag finish with 20 WW2s. Close with numbers names and prayer. Safe travel to those exploring the world

Five dedicated PAX showed up bright and early at 5:30 AM, finding nothing better to do than to tackle a run. Among us were four regulars and a special guest from Houston. Our visitor shared that 80 degrees with high humidity is typical Houston weather from April to October. Despite his assurance that we had nothing to complain about, we did anyway.

We kicked off our run towards Duck Lake. After a warm-up, we looped around the lake, stopping for 20 Dips, 15 Derkins, and 20 two-count Flutters at each loop. We managed to complete four loops before time ran out. On our way back to the flag, we spent the remaining minutes in a plank position, pushing through to the end.

We wrapped up the session with a prayer, focusing on the people of Houston as they deal with the aftermath of Beryl. Our thoughts and support go out to them.

SYITG.

6 pax of WTH met at sunrise beside the lake to get Stoned. There was for sure some huffing and absolutely some puffing as we got burned out by the Stones.

We have work to do: Let’s move!

Depart Pocahontas middle school at 0530 with a right on Three Chopt. Left onto the path over to Lake Wellesley. Cross over the 1st Bridge and circle up for quick COP of SSH Ukrainian Soliders.

The Thang: Getting Stoned

We gather up some nice sized Rip Rap lifting rocks from the lake side. Each pax to perform the below exercises in rotation with one pax acting as timer running to bridge and back. Rinse & repeat x3

• World War 2
• Man Makers with Stone
• Overhead Press with Stone
• Chest Press with Stone
• Dips on bench

Finished up just in time to Indian run back to the AO.

Total of 2.75 miles and some quality stone work.

This morning, five dedicated PAX gathered for a workout, delighted to welcome back Roger-Roger. We kicked off with a run to the Church Run parking lot, where we had a brief warm-up before diving into our first set of elevens: Hand-release Merkins and Squats. We completed the first round and moved on to the second set, which featured Carolina Dry Docks and WWII Sit-ups. Due to time constraints, we shortened the distance by half but maintained the intensity.

After completing both rounds of elevens, we ran back to the flag, concluding our 4-mile journey. At the COT, we conducted the Count-O-Rama and Name-O-Rama, followed by announcements and a closing prayer. While a bit warm, it was a great morning.
