YHC took the Q on the fly this morning, after taking a look at Swirly and seeing that he not did have his usual pep (the BRR will do that to you). The workout went something like: Mosey around circle: COP. DQs, Imperial Walkers, Helicopters, Push-Pull Squats, In place lunges, and Merkins. Mosey to rock pile and take a rock. 20x rock throws, 20x tenderizers, 20x crossover merkins, 20x WWIIs with rock. Mosey to tennis courts for: Merkin Plank-a-rama. One Pax gets into elbow plank, while the second puts a heavy rock on the planker’s back and does 15 Merkins…

Head down the hill and turn right onto the trails. Come off the trails…
3 vets posted for River Run this morning – 2 beasts working out the lactic acid from BRR and YHC determined to start getting his running legs back. Expecting a light crew and possibly some BRR survivors, YHC decided today would be a Hill Holiday. Instead, we hit the track and put in some flat miles (about 3.8 in total) with 3 brief pain stops (25 merkins and 25 LBCs) at random intervals. After returning back to the flag with 10 minutes to go, we did some COP (Slow Imperial Walkers, cotton pickers and stretching) and some Mary – Rocky…
A mighty four redwoods emerged today for Punisher. COP – Helicopters, Don Quixote, Hillbillies, Russian Soldiers, LBCs. First Up – Triple Check – Plerkins and run to the light post in the median. Mosey over to the picnic table for 11s – Merkins and dips. YHC missed this event from this past weekend’s longhouse, so we progressed behind the school with “bridges and boulders”. Finish with a jog to the playground. 7 pullups and 20 PLT – 3x through Lindseys! Scorpions and box cutters. Honeymoon suite ring of fire – Monkey humpers, diamond merkins, APDs, pickle pounders. Mosey to the…

Byproduct arrived first followed by Mr. Holland (new to the GridIron AO), Alpo (recently relocated to Fredericksburg from Kernersville, NC F3), GridIron regulars Attila, White Deer, and Flip Phone, and YHC. Right, you count 7 names. More on that later. We planted a ShovelFlag at the edge of the parking lot, exchanged proper pleasantries, and proceeded with this Thang: Startup COP with SSHs x 25, 20 x Imperial Walkers, Don Quixotes, and Helicopters, and 15 x Arm Circles (forward and reverse, big and small). Most other Saturdays, we’ve…

13 veterans escaped the fartsack (YHC just barely) to post on this gorgeous Saturday morning at Dogpile for a little beatdown inspired by our F3RVA brothers who are killing the BRR. COP – Opening Act – presented by Hardywood…. YHC arrived for LBCs and merkins. Time for the main event: Mosey to the amphitheater for an ode to the 36 legs of the BRR.

Three regulars posted for this week’s Circus Maximus. YHC arrived in the Mills Godwin High School parking lot with a handful of minutes to spare and at the same time as Attila. As the ShovelFlag was being planted, Johnsonville arrived. After briefly questioning Johnsonville about his decision to post prior to taking a seat in the ClownVan for BRR later in the day, we got started with this Thang: Imaginary (yes imaginary) Jump Ropes x 25, 20 each of Imperial Walkers, Don Quixotes, Helicopters, and Russian Solders, and 15 x Arm Circles to and fro and big and small. Without…
Four steely horsemen saddled up and secured their headlamps for the latest edition of the RAMM (no takers on RAMM Gears). With temps fluttering just below sunny and 70 (but nonetheless extremely comfortable), here’s how it went down…YHC surveyed the group (4 milers?, 5 milers?, 6 milers?) and found a consensus to run in a pack…reverse Carillon, 5 mile route. BT and Splinter set forth with long strides while Sippy Cup and YHC maintained a steady 1.5 strides per BT/Splinter stride, and still fell behind (YHC was clearly the anchor). 45 minutes later…all was done. Number-rama, Name-a-rama, announcements, and YHC…
