Predictably painful Peak

Predictably painful Peak

With the stars out overhead and ideal cool, still air, 11 men gathered to see what kind of pain YHC had scheduled.  Here’s how that worked out:

Mosey to back bus lot and around it 2 laps adding dynamic stretching second lap.

COP:
SSH-15IC                                Merkin ring 1X
IW-15IC                                  Merkin ring 2X
Squats-15IC                           Merkin ring 3X
Seal Jack-15IC                       Merkin ring 4X
Windmill-10IC                        Merkin ring 5X

The Main Thang:
Mosey to playground equipment and find a pullup or supine pullup bar
Up & hold 5 count then 5-count descent
10 CDD OYO //REPEATO minus 1 CDD each round until 1 CDD

Mosey back to bus lot, partner up for some plank walks.  Partners face each other in plank on same line (spread out!) and plank walk toward fields 5 lines, then back to start, stopping for one merkin at each line.  Stay with partner.

Mosey to sidewalk.  Lunge walk ~ 10 yards, then mosey to base of hill for 7s.
1LBC @ bottom, backward run to top, 6 squats, down, 2/5, etc

Mosey to near wall.  People’s Chair w/palm up/down -20IC

Mosey to parking lot for Mary:
Flutter-15IC
Bicycle-15IC
Superman 10-count X2
Dolly-15IC
Dead bug-10IC
Superman 10-count X2
Bit of warm-down stretching and “time!”

COT
Announcements:
(From Tang) Mission trip opportunity: in March 11-21 to Chili (not the restaurant) to work with young faith leadership rebuilding from last year’s earthquake/tsunami.

Moleskin:
Merkin Ring, or Ring of Fire, or whatever it’s called, is one of those things that are easier to do than to explain.  Fortunately, YHC had planned for us to get plenty of practice, with five rounds.  Only 15 merkins total, but we really had to work for them.
Pullups are standard fare when YHC Qs, so shouldn’t have been any surprises this morning.  Hopefully the 1-at-a-time method made it tolerable.
Plank walks are questionable as “moderate intensity” activity, but Slim Fast introduced them and he’s site Q, so please forward complaints to him.  At least this time, we only did 5 each way, not like Slim Fast’s “five” which was more like 7.
Sounded like a teacher caught us practicing the Macarena while we were resting in our chairs.  I’m sure that was fun for all, but the mumblechatter didn’t make it down to my end.
Thanks for keeping the count going while I tried to insert a comment here or there and totally lost track.  I’m not a professional – but I do try to act like one (sometimes).
Thank you for the privilege of leading this morning.  It’s fun to be back in A51 after long weeks in the wilds of Mint Hill.
