Stonehenge BB 7/2/16

17 + Mighty Might showed up for #F3stonehenge. JRR Tolkien did not. This is what had happened:

 


The Thang:

Mosey over to Ballantyne One parking lot for a little ole COP.

SSH: 35 IC

Merkin: 10 IC

Mountain Climber: 10 IC

Mosey back behind building to South patio. Make stuff as you go:

  • 10 Derkins, lap around Loch Ness, 10 Derkins, continue to West patio, plank wait for 6.
  • 10 Box Jumps, lap around Loch Ness, 10 Box Jumps, continue to North area with benches, plank wait for 6 (PAX were taught the difference between a box jump and a sissy calf jump hop thing)
  • 10 Dips, lap around Loch Ness, 10 Dips, continue back to South patio, plank wait for 6.

OK so that was fun. Those all fit naturally together (in YHC’s mind, at least). YHC give the instruction to PAX to “run it back” with no breaks. Thus, 10 derkins, lap, derkins, quarter lap, box jumps, lap, box jumps, quarter lap, dips, lap, dips, quarter lap. Mary to wait for Circle back and pick up the 6.

Met up at the South patio, where Fireman Ed had the biggest smile on his face, and begged for some Jack Webb. YHC (and most the PAX) was gassed from the laps around the lake, and thought a little break off the legs would be nice. As is always the case with Jack Webb, we were wrong. So wrong. Shout out to Fireman Ed, who was asked to lead the JW. 1 Merkin, 4 Air presses, 2 Merkins, 8 Presses…Up to 8&32, when PAX began to beg for mercy. Ed handed back off to YHC, and we got one more 1&4 in, for good measure.

Time was running down, so a quick mosey ensued over to the Stone Mountain Grill. Lunge walk (with a twist) to the front door, and heels to heaven. Continue up past coffeteria, consider calling it there and consuming 700+ calories, and on to the brick wall by Duckworth’s. PAX instructed to get over the first section of the wall by any means necessary, and move to the next section until failure.

Mosey around the medical building, and back to the lot. Bear Crawl Suicides (Thanks Goonie): Bear crawl to the 2nd line, 2 merkins, sprint back. Bear Crawl to the 4th line, 4 merkins, Sprint back. Repeat up to 10, LBC for 6.

45 Seconds left. Pick your Poison. Jail break back to Launch, via the parking lot, or longer route passing around the traffic circle. To YHC’s surprise, nearly all PAX chose the longer option.

YHC on the take out.


Naked Moley:

Kotters for the delay in the BB. #sorrynotsorry #itstillgotdone #beanandgumbodontwritethemeither

As can not be mentioned enough, Co-site Q of #F3HotTubs JRR Tolkien is so afraid of YHC’s Q’s, that he fled all the way to New Mexico to avoid this one AT HIS OWN SITE. Luckily, Wild Turkey is a BEAST and owned the land. #turkeypower

Kotters for the amount of miles covered (4.2 via Strava). More than a typical Stonehenge dawn, but from the #mumblechatter around the PAX, it was appreciated. YHC had promised to burn the calories you would consume with a bagel + coffee, and by YHC’s count of 743 via Garmin, mission accomplished.

Solid work all around, but mad props to the Men who were leaping 9+ feet to get over the last couple of walls. From YHC’s old man memory, the likes of Pebbles, One Niner,and Haggis were able to latch onto the furthest ledge. A few others were able to graze the fingertips, but unable to hang on. Sound off in the comments if YHC missed you. #pride

Mighty Mite showed up for some good ole fashioned COT, and Coffeteria. Always a fun time when he’s around. #denverboundagainprobs #getwellsoon

Thanks go out to JRR and Wild Turkey for the chance to lead at Stonehenge. YHC’s favorite part of the week is recovering from #F3Thebrave #shamelessplug and watching the twitter marketing fly for Saturday Stonehenge (and Tuck over at #F3davinci). Keep up the great work, men.

Announcements:

Same stuff. Whetstone, F3 Golf

Remember to keep the men and women of the armed forces, and the victims of the recent attacks in your prayers. Strive to make this country a better place, even if it’s just one Ballantyne man at a time.
Aye!

Well I was on my way back to Hawaii, to get as far away from your workout as possible, but my flight got stalled in Roawell, New Mexico with the aliens. Nice work on the backblast. Way to set an example doing it (even if over a week late!)
