With a last minute, who’s coming to WTH at 9pm? 6 warriors rolled into the parking lot hot ready to find out what’s in store for them from a RR Q. After 4 weeks of absence from sick family to vacation and pushing the reset button YHC was ready to roll minus the hey your “cadence” is rusty as usual it went something like this: Warm-A-Rama Mosey to the concrete pad about half mile away to engage in a light duty Warm-a-Rama in which the PAX engaged in: Dead Man Hang 25x SSH 15xArm Circles 15xReverso 15x Suzanne summers (both…
YHC welcomed 20 harriers to Spider Run today to share in some pre BRR tapering. Unlike past YHC run routes, there were no games to be played, no dice to roll, and no chalk markings. Everyone was sad. But do not worry, the games will be back soon. YHC has a propensity for not remembering directions, so YHC had to keep it super simple this morning. The route went like this for 1 milers, 2 milers, 3 milers, 4 milers, 5 milers, and 6 milers, and everything in between. Head out the bat cave, run past the future site of…
5 SOJ regulars were graced by the presence of an FNG and 3 New Marketeers that found their way to the lush fields of No Toll this morning to see what YHC had planned to work off the festivities of the long holiday weekend. Iron Pax was threatened but this is what occurred to the best of my knowledge. F3 Disclaimer and Warmarama in typical No Toll location that included SSH, Dead Man Hang, Imperial Walkers, Russian Soldiers and Copperhead Squats. Mosey to far field for 7 of Diamonds. 4 sets of exercises with 1/2 field mosey between sets. Exercises…
Eight strong took on the Week 1 IronPax challenge on a beautiful morning. Some PAX were fully aware of the awfulness to ensue, several HBR regulars hid in their Fartsack, others jumped right in. No real COP, brief instructions, and review then start. Round 1: 800 m, 25m Murder Bunny, 10 Shoulder Tap merkins, Reverse MB back, 20 block burpee thrusters, MB back for 10 STM, then Reverse MB back. Round 2: 800 m, 25m Murder Bunny, 10 Shoulder Tap merkins, Reverse MB back, 20 Burpee horizontal jumps, MB back for 10 STM, then Reverse MB back. Round 3: 800…
Twenty five well dressed gentlemen met in the parking lot of Hoedown for this year’s Labor Day Convergence. There was ample poking and prodding at PAX members pre-launch; one can only assume it was due to the extra hour and a half of sleep. Or it was the anticipation of free coffee and croissants. Regardless, 0700 clicked and off we went. Short mosey around the drop off loop then up to the blacktop sea for: The ThangSSH x20Burpee x1 (Pattern detected by TYA, incorrectly)Russian Soldiers x10Burpee x2WWII x10Burpee x3Merkin x10Burpee x4Arm Circles x15Burpee x5Copperhead Squats x10Burpee x6LBC x20Burpee x7Monkey Humpers…
4 warriors, 3 of whom are related, braved the rain for a labor day workout. Hermes and yhc shared the Q. Hermes started with warmup of the usual ash, murcans, DQ, helicopters, cherry pickers etc. To the top for 4 corners, descending 50 squats, 40 monkey humpers, 30 ssh, 20 murcans, Q switch to YHC, down the hill to the rick pike for military press, curls for the girls, skullcrushers, squats, run to the bottom and back rinse and repeat with a bear crawl thrown in, plus mountain climbers, murcans, lbcs, flutter kicks, fire hydrants and mahktar jai. No specific…
Some posted at 6:30 and ran 10, some posted at 7:00 and ran 7ish +/- Some ran on two legs, some ran on four. Some ran in silence, some ran with YHC. All were better off for having done it. Make it a great week!
2 arrived early and 1 warm up and appeared at exactly 05:30, only to have trouble finding the PAX. Temps were 70 and sunny. The PAX were hiding. It was childish. It was kinda fun. YHC apologizes. 1.5 out. 1.2 back. Short and sweet prior to the BRR. Numbers, names, YHC took us out.
Fourteen performers joined today’s orchestral act for the latest edition of The Dogpile. Temperatures were (actually) 70 and sunny. According to the rogue film crew preparing for the actual orchestra, the following may be somewhat close to what happened: Quick Start: a Gentlemen’s 5 burpees Mosey to the Amphitheater’s side entrance and to the orchestra area for the COP: SSHsDead Man HangIWsFlutter kicks x 17Box cutters x14 (yeah, 17-14 Hokies)HRMs x10 Quick mosey to bottom step (for those not already on the bottom step) for an escalating ascension up the Amphitheater: dips, 1-18 At the top, quick stretch.
