11 Westenders expecting a Gomer Q were met with a half-dozen SOJ pirates hijacking the Q for a Ghost Flag takeover. On the way to the AO we realized YHC was the only clown car occupant that had experienced the AO, the only AO in RVA and maybe the U.S. with it’s own diesel pump. With the offer of a brief tour the others decided I would heat up the potato for the others. The woman walking the track saw some of the following:
Warm up in the parking lot with the old standbys, nothing special here. Mosey to the bus loop for a singular BLIMP – 5 burpees, 10 Lunges, 15 Imperial Walkers, 20 Merkins, 25 Plank Jacks. Mosey to the wall, which Honeydo properly pointed out is the donkey kick wall for a Triple Check – Donkey Kicks, Wall Sits, Run across the pavement.
Pass the spud to OC – Basketball court 20s – 5 of each exercise alternating sides of the court – Burpees, merkins, monkey humpers, WWII, and werkins.
Give the tater to Chaplain – he decided we had stayed dry long enough so we found some wet, freshly cut grass at the bottom of the namesake hill – 11s – Jump Squats at the top, HRMs at the bottom. Once on that hill is solid – 10x is punishing. Well done Chap.
Reallocate the tuber to Don Draper – mosey to the end of the track for some plank – pull ups. PAX planks while 2 go do 5 pull ups. Rotate through all with plank variations. Back to the shovel flags.

What a great morning to be out in the gloom. The air was cool this morning but the SOJ crew came in hot with 3 of us in jorts (overalls if you’re OC). Not only did we look hot but the jorts hold in a surprising amount of heat. And while I can’t speak for the others, my M was beyond thrilled to see me walk into the house in jorts this morning.
Great West End crew out today that were certainly there to support Gomer, sorry to disappoint, but it was fun to see everyone and introduce some SOJ guys to the Heartbreak crew. There was a DK/Atilla reunion after so many mornings at Circus, a second post for Rainman, and even an extra explanation of an exercise for Fudd. I am sure Handshake, Honeydo, and crew are plotting their next takeover already.
Announcements –
SOJ lunch Friday 10/27 @ Rusty Taco at Westchester
