Abacus called for a Friday morning AO a few years ago and there were many doubters. He and a few others pushed through the resistance and fired up The Creek. To this day, no one really knows the location of the creek but the AO is next to a neighborhood called Ashcreek so there you have it…

The PAX rolled in and was ready to go to work. Hardywood elicited a cheer as he located his special parking spot (Spit noticed that non-DaVillians tend to park in the spots closest to the road). Emoji offered gloves and somebody confused it for a drug deal. There is never a dull moment at The Creek.

Spit called for a slaughter start of 26 merkins. 26 men showed up for the one year anniversary of The Creek last year and we paid respect.

YHC took the Q from there and the COP showcased some of the PAX doing all kinds of dance moves during the SSHs. YHC limited the number to 25 to stop the madness while recognizing that someone was going to get hurt. The increasing HRMs strategically placed between each exercise elicited the expected groans and provided for a full warm-up before heading over to The Loop.

The initial bear crawlers collided and fought for position like they were at the RIR. It is a race weekend here in Richmond so they were not too far off from the festivities. Wilt tried to out-crab-walk YHC and got run over. He eventually got smashed by Spit as well. Wilt exclaimed that he felt like he was in a Mario Kart race without any weapons. The only weapon that is necessary at a F3 workout is determination. The PAX showed that this morning. Spike and Hardywood crushed The Loop exercises and finished way ahead of everyone else. That is a team that you don’t want to mess with!

Spit took the Q and dished out some Creekish (whatever that means) pain in the field with the cinder blocks and polar bears. The PAX didn’t relent and knocked out the exercises in a timely manner with limited mumble chatter. Spit forced the 2.0s to go for a run around the field because they lost focus. Spit will do just fine as his 2.0 grows older. I’m sure his 2.0 will have to do some runs around the neighborhood if he talks back or fails to get his chores done.

It was a great morning all around as we celebrate two years of The Creek. It would have only been better if Abacus had shown up and made us do 45 minutes of ab insanity… He didn’t… Let’s go for another year and look forward to starting next year’s workout with a slaughter start of 18 of something…
