Not flame it's what he was most famous for as a soldier for the British. If two soldiers were having a competition to throw javelins, or just throwing darts, Washington would come out of his tent, get in the game, beat both of them and then go back in his tent. Anytime the troops were trying to see who was the strongest/fastest/whatever, Washington would pop up and humiliate them all. It NEVER occurred to anyone that he might also be a good military strategist. Everyone thought he'd always just be an insane physical specimen. They had no fucking idea.

George Washington was a famously powerful athlete.
One story from 1773 adds to the legend of Washington's physical prowess. American artist Charles Willson Peale recalled that there were several visitors at Mount Vernon competing to see how far they could throw an iron bar across the lawn. Suddenly, Washington appeared and, smiling, held out his hand.
He requested to be shown the pegs that marked the bounds of our efforts; then, smiling, and without putting off his coat, held out his hand for the missile. No sooner … did the heavy iron bar feel the grasp of his mighty hand than it lost the power of gravitation, and whizzed through the air, striking the ground far, very far, beyond our utmost limits. We were indeed amazed, as we stood around, all stripped to the buff, with shirt sleeves rolled up, and having thought ourselves very clever fellows, while the colonel, on retiring, pleasantly observed, ‘When you beat my pitch, young gentlemen, I’ll try again.’

They say he was 6'2 and looked like Chevy Chase:
