7 HBR regulars and 1 visitor from TN posted to Heartbreak Ridge on a humid morning. Conspiracy coming in at 5:29 gave us an even 8.

6 PAX gathered at Heartbreak Ridge to kick off the 2019-20 school year. It went like this: Mosey around the parking lot to the field house for warmup of 20x SSH, 10x Helicopter (yes, singular), 5x super slow Don Quixote, 15x Cherry Pickers, 15x LBC and 10x Merkins. Back up to the parking lot and around the perimeter, stopping at each of the 18 painted arrows for an alternating 5x Lt. Dan, 5x MHs, 5x star jumps at each arrow. Plank for the six. Mental note that Google imagery inaccurately depicts 12 arrows… Down to the Jerkin Gym and partner…

A spectacular six showed at Heartbreak Ridge to see what Coach Wojo had in store for this morning’s practice.

9 stalwarts, including one unhappy camper, assembled in the Heartbreak Ridge parking lot to see what would be in store for the morning. Wary of YHC grabbing the Q when it was open late yesterday, the Pax knew in their bones what to expect before even seeing the laminated Weinke. Here’s how it went… more or less.COP: Invisible jump rope, Russian soldiers, Merkins (slow up, slow down), storm squats Mosey to the track for the Lucky Horseshoe.Do a lap of the track and do 20 of the marked exercises on laminated card corresponding to that lap number.

7 West End Studs and 1 lone traveler (YHC) emerged from their vehicles, ready for a rain soaked boot camp.  YHC arrived around 5:23 and planted the Ghost Flag.  There seems to be little fan fare to follow the Ghost Flag over the last couple of months.  Or, it could be it’s not well advertised, but in any case, we were ready to get on with it.  COP:  DQ’s, Helicopters, Hillbillies, SSH’s, American Hammers, Freddie Mercury’s, Hand Release Merkins. The Thang:  Mosey to the track for a warm up lap.  At each turn, 5 Burpees.  Stay on the track and…

12 men, apparently thinking they were teenagers, suited up for another game of Ultimate at Heartbreak Ridge in the gloom. They welcomed one FNG, who held his own well, and then took on the field for (likely) the last game of F3 Ultimate this summer. YHC felt like Rod Tidwell’s QB after floating one too high for Angus, only to watch — in slow motion, “Jacked UP” style — Mouse Trap to come streaking into the picture, both men fully collided and then flopped on the ground. It keeps replaying over and over in my head, and it wasn’t pretty. Angus…

11 strong and willed HIMs posted for a nearly perfect conditioned morning at Heartbreak Ridge. The rumor mill must have been humming of YHC VQ’s the day prior as some Summer Tourists descended to a West End AO staple at Quioccasin Middle. Hoedown’s workout was tough to beat, but we gave it hell trying. COP With a leg heavy day ahead for the PAX, we had to get our wheels warm. Football style warm up utilizing the parking spaces in the Bus Lot. 2 rounds: Sprint forward, shuffle left on the horizontal, back pedal, shuffle left horizontal. Repeato to the…
