Smoked on the Peak

Ten fierce warriors fought back the gloom and made it to the top of Peak51.  Here’s the thang:

Mosey around front of church to back and over to school bus lot.

COP:

  • SSH-15
  • IW-15
  • Merkins-15
  • LSS-15

Mosey to playground equipment and find a pullup or supine pullup bar

Up & hold 5 count then 5-count descent
10 recovery Merkins OYO
REPEATO minus 1 Merkin each round until 1 Merkin,

Mosey to parking lot, partner up (opposite speed)

Partner 1: SSH while P2 moves to opposite side doing following exercise: (mosey back then flapjack)

  • lunge walk
  • bear crawl
  • frog jump
  • “speed skate”
  • sprint

Plank when done

Repeat: Switch out SSH with Peter Parkers

Mosey to the tundra and circle up for some Mary.

Pax #1 calls ab exercise and takes recovery mosey around ring.  Remaining Pax perform called exercise OYO. Repeato until all Pax have gone.  (YHC recalls: Flutter, Merkins, IW, Mountain Climber, Protractor, Freddy Mercury (variable speed), Sid-the-Kid, Russian Twist, Rosalita, LBC)

Mosey to benches by side of theater: 15 dips, 15 decline/incline Merkins, 15 step-ups OYO.  Wall-sit when done

Mosey to cars.  Time’s up.

Moleskin

  • DT, Sensei and SlimFast arrived early to knock out a few miles before the main show.  #Respect
  • Missing brother found: Insomniac made an appearance after almost 2 months hibernation. With all the gloom this morning I’m pretty sure he didn’t see his shadow, so expect to see him posting at many future A51 workouts.
  • Geraldo pulled the ruck out of his car before we got started. I didn’t see it come off until it was time for Mary.  #Strong
  • DT was a real beast: not only did the pre run, but also crushed the workout.
  • The continuous activity back and forth across the parking lot winded me and I’m guessing a few others, yet a few Pax kept up a continuous mumblechatter. Geraldo and Simba maybe?  YHC salutes your O2 resilience.
  • The band had a little trouble with the key signature when it came to circle of Mary, with several Pax calling questionable ab exercises. IW, okay I get it.  Merkins?  Also, thought Sid-the-Kid was trademarked by Strange Brew.  Not a crowd favorite.
  • Nice take out from DT.
  • Thank you for the honor of leading, gentlemen. And for graciously applying some form of modify to spare me penalty burpees at the end.

Excellent Q! I’m smoked!!! Very well planned and executed. Thanks for leading!

These guys keep getting stronger!! Drop Thrill continues to push himself, and it shows! Same for Whitesnake!

Great to have Frosty Paws and Uncle Si out there… Two relatively new faces that will be salty veterans before long!

Thanks to each if you for a great start to the day!

Fantastically horrific Q. Nice balance, kept the heart rate up and steady…loved/hated it.

Nice to meet and suffer alongside Frosty Paws and Uncle Si. Hope to see you again soon.

Thanks for the kind words, SF. Mayhap I’ll join y’all for a little mileage before the pain sometime soon.

Have a great week, everyone.

Cheers!

#excellentlysuckyworkout #ithurts #shootmenow #iwantdie um, is that enough?

Great Q brother. I hated it, I loved, er, liked, er, um. Oh well. It was a smoker.

Thanks for all the kind words. You all didn’t see my slow #six trying to keep up with Sensei and Slim Fast in the pre-run. 🙂

And I forgot to mention that Whitesnake and I have both been in the same place at the same time twice in the past 7 days and the space-time continuum didn’t implode. #interesting

There was a small yet positive disturbance in the force, however. #JediPAX
