DMZ BB – 6/22/15

2 dozen (or so) PAX gathered for a hearty down payment. Here’s what ensued:

The Thang:

Mosey to the EFCA. Warmup (SSH, Merkins, Over/Unders, Mtn Climbers). Partner up (speed matters). Hustle out of the gate to Tottenham/Kingswood, stopping at every street (on the right @Kirk, #badlistener) for 15 diamonds and 15 over unders (4 count).

Squats to wait at Tottenham. Looked like human whackamole off Tottenham.

Bottom-ish of the halfpipe. Partner A runs one way and B the other for 7s (burpees aka #flyingsquirrels and diamond merkins), with plank-shakes and merkins (10) at the bottom of each hill.

Mary to wait.

Mosey back to a neighborhood (mosey for some, AYG for others). Mary to wait.

AYG back to COT. Mary to wait.

Moleskin:

@Kirk hates running though can run very fast. Weird.

Good to see @Skywalker back in the gloom. Looked like a @Mudgear advertisement out there with his #BackInBlack gear.

Strong work by all. @Bushwood was on YHC’s heels but youth prevailed, at least for another day.

TClaps @Orlando AKA @Froggie for running into the workout. YHC thought it was a 5 mile entry. Turns out it’s .21 miles, #sigh.

TClaps to all for taking the #TonyHawkHalfpipe head on. She’s mean and demands respect.

Announcements:

F3 Dads, Sat. 0900 Beattie Park

F3 Area 51 WIB – Old Providence Elementary, 0530, Every Tuesday until eternity. WIBSOB (WIB South of the Border) is unapologetically the hardest workout in A51. Or is it even in A51? Bordertown confusion…Don’t miss it.

Thanks @Skywalker and @Hops for letting a #hatehate Q.

Run-in’s for Orlando, Bushwood & Steinbrenner don’t really count #0.0 Hannibal, on the other hand, ran in 2 miles for the DMZ beatdown. T-claps. Bushwood running home with the SF after being dubbed Site Q at DMZ was good stuff.
Also, great to have Icicle joining us having moved to Area51 from MECA.
The plank-shakes & merkins were an O-by-the-way kick in the groin from our hate-hate Q. Weinke-less, ad-libbed pain enhancer for sure.
Funniest line of the morning was from Backdraft from deep in his pain cave: “Looks like I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue.” #Airplane

Swiper – that was a solid start to the week. To echo Hops’ comment, the cumulative effect of all those partner handshake merkins was pretty brutal. No #soccerarms at DMZ

Tclaps to my partner Semi-Gloss for hanging in there and pushing himself this morning.

The description above is so short, and the workout was so long……
Great job Swiper! And T-Claps to my partner Hops who lapped me on the Sevens #respectyourelders
Obviously an end to Father’s Day weekend and getting spoiled at the ranch – But a great start to the week.

, great lead. Almost caught you on the run back. Next time…

, thanks for giving me the reins. Hopefully, I can live up to the high standard you’ve set.

@Icicle, welcome to A51 and DMZ. Hope to see you next week.

Hey hops – my run in is more than a half a mile vs across the street for those other guys.

T claps to Swiper – that was varsity pace coming back that pushed everyone to dig deep

The. Best part was that no cars came while you had us doing diamonds in a blind corner that was marked by a big sign which probably meant that at least 2 dogs have been run over there or something for the city to spend the money for the sign

Fair enough. I will also say that you were flying on the run back. We are also fortunate no one was run over laying inl the street at the Mountainbrook entrance
