L.I.L.O. Solo Q

3

YHC had heard the mumble chatter about Daville being a hard place to find, so YHC confirmed on Google Maps satellite imaging that the Map-confirmed location had the same building and bus loop configuration YHC vaguely remembers from the Ghost Flag takeover. In addition, YHC asked a local Davillion (Scrum) to confirm the location…and I quote “That is correct”. Dear readers, YHC has learned a valuable lesson – don’t believe anything or anyone. Yes, DTH fell victim to Davillion black magic, and it wasn’t until the clock struck 0530 and YHC was furiously reading last week’s Daville backblast (thank you EFHutton), that the secret AO location was finally revealed. Showing up a solid 8 minutes late, YHC wasn’t surprised the PAX had moved on. But where? With a cool misty rain making the humidity bearable, YHC set off at the run to reclaim his Q honor – be it ever so tardy. The bus loop area where the Takeover workout was centered? No Pax. The fields behind the schools? Nope. Running back around the parking lots and way back to the football field? Negative Ghostrider – the pattern is full. All the way back around the Middle School? Alas, no Pax. No F2. No Q honor to reclaim. And at this point YHC’s IT Band was screaming to just stop running & get in some good old Ground&Pound. So centering myself on the property with good views in every direction, YHC pulled out the F3 deck & proceeded to claim F1 victory:

  • Backward Lunge …Clock Dans instead
  • Karaoke 100 yards
  • Ranger Merkin x10
  • Shoulder Taps x25 (feet on bench)
  • Incline M x 10
  • Heels 2 Heaven x10
  • Mtn Climber x25 2-ct
  • Ball Dippers x10 2-ct
  • Merkin x15
  • Bear Crawl x30 yards to wall …throw in x5 BTTW Inverted Merkins
  • Chuck Norris M x10
  • Sprint 200 yards (around bus loop)
  • Werkins x10
  • Am Hammers x25 2-ct
  • Smurf Jack x25
  • WWII x15
  • Copperhead Squat x10
  • Elbow Plank x60sec
  • Monkey Humpers x15
  • Freddie M’s x25 2-ct
  • Flutter Kicks x10 4-ct

HEY! What’s that YHC sees in the misty distance? Yes, the ghost PAX returning to the AO from some foreign land. Doozie cracks a joke in passing, and many other mostly unfamiliar sweaty faces pass by, most of whom give the fluttering YHC the silent “who the hell are you?” look. 

  • HRM’s x10
  • Monkey Humpers x25 

Doozie circles back for the SIX, so YHC picks up the deck, and mosey’s BTTF to join the Davillion COT. The local Mumble Chatter was suggesting perhaps a more specific set of directions for the perpetually lost/late Summer Tourists. YHC removed himself to continue working out… 8 minutes late = 8 more minutes of high quality F1. 

  • Dips x25
  • Butt Kicks x10 2-ct
  • Bernie Sanders x100 yards
  • Derkins x10

Doozie ambles over – “whatchya got left DTH?” – and promptly joins YHC.

  • Lunge x10 ea leg
  • Plank 90 sec
  • Calf Raise x100
  • Carolina Dry Dock x15
  • Plank Jack x25
  • Squat x25

YHC thanked Doozie for his camaraderie. What a weird way to start the day – so many mixed emotions. Last In, Last Out. Does it even count as a Q? Who cares. Peace out Daville – I’ll either return with a comeback Caber Q or just never bother. ~DTH

  1. DTH-I need to check the Forge off my list so I will be there Thursday. Should be tough as will be doing HDHH tomorrow. This map issue is a problem for the tour and saddened that it is not easily fixed. Impressive solo work out and evidence the F3 deck is brutal.
