River Sunrise

Sunny and 70 everyday in F3RVA but today felt especially nice. 7 SOJers took the daily red pill and started their day at TwinTeam. YHC had advertised to a few at the Forge that there would be a field trip to see the sunrise. Some did not realize the park was there or what it was but all got to enjoy a beautiful morning on the river.

THANG

Mosey down the road, stopping in the grass as a car went by for a quick COP of SSH, Helicopters and IW. Mosey the rest of the way all the way to the river. Dial up a perfect sunrise and find a spot on a bench, preferably facing the water for Lindsays. Dips and Step Ups.

Find the boat/dock rack that was once used for the Murph. 5 pull ups, run to the volleyball court 10 merkins. Repeato x3

Down to the dock for a mountain climber leap frog. All plank, man on the end does 10 Mtn climbers, jump the pax, repeato until we get to the other end of the dock.

Indigenous People run to get out of the park, normal round 1, add burpee round 3, 3 merkins for round 3. Around behind the school to find the tires. Unfortunately they have been chained up so no tire flipping for us today. Instead all do a 6 inch hold while one man does 5 pull ups and then does the monkey bars, rotate through. Ollivander added the optional rope walk at the end.

Mosey back to the flag for some randorama – Freddies, Flutters, HRM, Plank Jacks, Hillbillies, AH and 1-leg APD.

Numbers/Names and Tobit took us out

Not even close to calling this morning the gloom. What a great day to be outside, when YHC signed up to Q a few weeks back the hope was to get a reasonably clear day to see the sunrise on the river. It couldn’t have worked out any better. Yet another jewel on the James. Hard to believe we tried the Murph on that iron rack, 3 rounds of 5 was tough enough. Lots of time for chatter on the mosey to and from the river. Any more than 7 PAX planking on that dock would have put us fully in the water. We’ll be back for a trail run later in the summer when it gets a little lighter and warmer. Tight quarters for the shotput and discus at James River but plenty of room for an F3 Olympics.
