12, wait, 13, gathered for Heartbreak Ridge this week. At 2000 hours Monday night YHC say an empty Q sheet and decide to sign up. Still dealing with a knee injury YHC wanted to keep the running to a minimum but still wanted to keep the tempo up, so YHC decided to grab the Mircoblock Coupons and see what pain they could bring. We had 6 Coupons so we partnered up (with one Throuple). Partner 1 makes the way up Heartbreak with the Coupon and does a set of exercises at the top, while Partner 2 does another set of…

A dozen of Richmond’s best got together for their own rendition of “We Are The World”. As many of you know, there comes a time when we heed a certain call and when the reptiles and amphibians must come together as one. Senor Frog moseyed us to the outfield and we did an assortment of warmups in cadence including SSH, DQ, Copperhead Squats, Merkins, WWII, LBC, Scorpion Kicks and probably others. He then led us to the blacktop of 2 rounds of four corners. 25 count the first go around of merkins, LBCs, squats & pickle pounders and then a…

Ten noble warriors ventured to Heartbreak Ridge hoping to avoid the Ridge. After ten minutes of typical warmups, we instead hit the tennis courts for some dodgeball. Tatar and Mr. Rogers sat out and did their own exercises–due to some combination of injury, keeping teams even and recurring wedgy nightmares from 8th grade. We did best of 5. Team Fuddskinattilahouse vs Team Handfrogsnakarone. You get hit or your ball gets caught, you go to the designated area and do 5 burpees and then can come back. If no one from your team is left in the doubles court, you lose.…
