Starbucks or Suicides

A trio of boot campers and quartet of runners ascended on Betty Weaver for the wet gloom. 5.30 strikes, runners are off onto the damp roads, boot campers off to find dry cover. This is what was discovered:

Mosey to Betty Weaver covered entrance for disclaimer and warmarama that included SSH, Dead Man Hang, DQ’s, Helis, Heals to Heaven and Merkins.

Mosey over to Twin Team with glow sticks in hand. With the help and experience of Doozy, YHC laid out 4 glow sticks as PAX climbed Twin Team hill hoping for the tree canopy to shelter us from any imposing showers. Stop at the top of the Twin Team. Suicides was the call of the day. Starting at the mailbox, run to the 1st glow stick – 10 squats then back to the mailbox. Mosey back to 2nd glow stick (stopping again at the 1st to perform 10 squats) for 20 Merkins, then back to the 1st glow stick (10 squats) and then mailbox. You get the idea. 3rd glow was 30 Monkey Humpers, 4th glow as 40 LBC’s. When completed, return back to the top of Twin Team. On the way down, collect the glow sticks and perform each exercise 1 more time. Mosey back to covered entrance at Betty Weaver. 10 minutes of Broga after a tiring week for these SOJ regulars.

Numbers, Names, Announcements. In the conversation, YHC forgot to take us out but PAX got the idea.

Announcements – a lot happening in September (Field Day, BRR, IronPax, etc.). See slack for details. Prayers for those affected by Covid and those in Afghanistan. If you are looking for a family hike this weekend, see the link below. A few water crossings and 1/2 way up the trail there is a nice swimming hole with rock jumps and waterfall. Good for dogs and young kids. Parking lot can get full and breweries are all around for afterwards.

Doozy is heading up to Charlottesville Saturday for a Bootcamp. Reach out to him if you are interested in carpooling.

NMS: YHC had planned a Murph this morning, but overnight showers changed plans so we ventured over to do some hillwork. YHC was hoping for some no shows this morning and even a coffeteria was mentioned to replace the workout but that would be unsatisfactory. It had been a while since YHC had visited Twin Team and it did not disappoint. Bullseye and YHC were in awe of the Doozy pace that was set. One only hopes to have that energy when we grow up. Great work this morning gents. I believe the runners put in 7 miles, strong work.
