5 toned studs arrived at River and Ridge before the sun this morning to see what an SOJ immigrant could bring for his AO VQ. Here is the story of how it went from those that were smart enough to remember.
COP at the church included quick round of arm circles and cherry pickers. Warm enough, lets grind?
THE THANG: Mosey back to the parking lot for a bit of 4 corners with a twist: 25 American Hammers (2 count), 50 Merkins, 75 Mountain Climbers, 100 Jump Squats. Bear Crawls on the short end to get those shoulders nice a buff.
Mosey over to the triangle at Ridge and Westham for a Super Dora. 100 WWII’s, 200 Ball Dippers, 300 Alabama Prom Dates, 400 Carolina Drydocks. Timer runs up to the traffic light at Ridge and back.
Still time on the clock, Lets go back to the Church for an SOJ staple with a Doozy Mankiller classic.
PAX still had energy to burn so mosey back to the parking lot for some sprints. All out 60 yard sprint to get our combine times on point. Walk back to the line and lets go again.
MBTTF with a Merkin Ring of Fire until sun comes up.
Numberama, Namearama, Announcement, YHC took us out.
Announcements: Honeydo pulling the double header today with Hill Run tonight followed by beverages of choice. Respect to Kubota’s M for retiring from Hanover Schools after 16 years leading the classroom. Thoughts and prayers to those on the front lines.
NMS: It was an honor joining these great men today in a bit of ground and pound. Mumble chatter with a short COP to dive right into the grind. PAX flew thru the Super Dora much quicker than expected with mumble chatter about shoulders so YHC decided to work the calves with the Mankillers. PAX seemed to crush everything that was thrown at them with style and grace. Sprints seemed to be highlight the youth in the ranks with experienced veterans bringing up the rear.
Seems Kubota was a meteorologist in a former life and mentioned something about the comet sighting at dusk last night. Not sure if it is fact or fiction, as no one else was aware of its existence. Maybe a Russian satellite or Elon Musks’ latest rocket to Mars.

Great work this morning boys. Crushed everything that was thrown out and some. Crushed the SuperDora with plenty of time. Need to step up my game for next time. Seize the day.
Well done and thank for leading, Last Call! There is something different about the 5am start time in that the PAX work faster and harder so they can justify their 6am naps.
Here is the info on the comet, but it is past it’s peak already: https://earthsky.org/space/how-to-see-comet-c2020-f3-neowise
Binoculars required to see comet in the suburb lights. Binoculars not needed if you live in Amelia like Hardywood.
Good Q Last Call. First time doing the infamous Mankillers, you need to keep that one SOJ from here on out!
Someone in my neighborhood has recently obtained a Rooster. I’d possibly be annoyed if not that I’m already up at 0430.
Solid work Last Call. That was somewhat assassin like.
Great job Last Call. You found the one area of my shoulders that weren’t already sore. When I woke up from my nap the pain had set in.
The Stout Assassin? I like it!
Yes! Definitely a good second nickname!
Congratulations on the VQ. Sounds solid.
