River Road & Ridge

The heavy stuff was not supposed to come down until 515, so a 500 start let us warm up in just ample rain. Here is what happened, more or less, according to the three train conductors. Mosey to the small triangle park for COP. Don Quixote, Hillbillies, Helicopters, DMH. Now for a mobile Lindsay working out way down to Westham Station – Box Cutters and Carolina Dry Docks. Nothing was dry about the dry docks as we caught up with the run off water as we went down hill. Various exercise along Westham Station to include lunge walk, bear crawl,…

A hearty group of 10 emerged from the gloom for another edition of a rusty Ronnie Q. We mosied around the back of the church and then circled up for COP. SSH, Ukranian soldiers, Don Quixote, imperial walkers, helicopters, merkins, LBCs. Next, we did a Dora with 100 reverse crunches, 200 LBCs, and 300 squats. Then over to the Church steps for three sets of dips with chair sits in between. We followed this up with some windsprints at 50%, 72%, and 91.7% speed. For good measure, we did a burpee at each parking place in the row. We then…

A lighter than average number of First Watchers gathered for a Lockjaw Q and this is what transpired COP – Various exercises ending with a Burpee Ring of Fire starting (and ending) with Kubota. Lockjaw flips the Q to Handshake and we were off. Mosey to the bottom of South Ridge Army Training. The Pax starts at their stomach and they pop up “i’m up” run a few steps “they see me” and they drop to their stomachs “i’m down” then they roll left, complete 5 Merkins and then pop up “i’m up” run a few steps “they see me”…

Two is fun but three is better as was determined by the early risers looking to get some Broga in before a brutal Hutton beatdown. According to Handshake’s M, that thought it is nuts to Broga at 4.30, this is what went down. Big emphasis on hamstrings with some work on the hips and calves. Pleasant surprise that Doublemint was waiting for YHC and Kubota to make this morning a group session. Getting limber for the upcoming nuptials. Limited pops from Kubotas knees proves this stuff works. Great to see numbers increase. Look forward to warmer temps. Broga goes south…
