Visit to South Hall

9 men showed up at McKee Rd Elementary for another 60 minutes of fun on a Saturday morning.  All were on time this week, with O’Tannenbaum even making it to the AO before 0701 hours.  Think we can thank Tiger Rag as he had forewarned OT about my Tweet the night before mentioning heading off campus down towards the fire station.  Had 2 site FNGs as Lumberjack and DQ joined us for the first time on a Saturday morning.  With everyone in tow and the clock indicating 0700 hours we headed out for a warm up lap in the lower parking lot by the soccer fields and circled up for COP.

COP:

  • SSH x 20 IC
  • IW x 20 IC
  • Squats x 15 IC
  • Merkins x 15 IC
  • MC x 20 IC

Properly warmed up and giving any last minute stragglers the opportunity to find us before we headed off campus, YHC led the crew on a mosey down the sidewalk along the soccer fields and we made our way to the rock pile.  Quick stop to work on the soccer arms.  Pick a friend for a some light lifting:

  • Curls x 15 IC
  • Rock Press x 15 IC
  • Goblet Squat x 15 IC
  • Rinse & repeat x 2 (w/ 10 reps IC and then 5 reps IC)

Return the rocks to their resting spot and we continued our jog down to the fire station.  Circled up and everyone completed 25 Carolina Dry Docks OYO.

At this point we had reached our final destination (sort of), which was the South Hall neighborhood just across McKee Rd from the fire station.  Made our way down South Hall Dr into the neighborhood and made a quick stop at the first side street to gather the 6.

  • Merkins (?) x 15 IC

Continue down the main drive into South Hall with 2 more stops along the way, prior to our final destination, with LBCs x 25 IC at Stop #2 and Flutter and Dolly x 15 IC at Stop #3.  One last straightaway on Warwickshire Ln and we arrived at Derbyshire Dr for the main event.

Derbyshire Dr is about 1/4 mi long with a nice little up and over to a dead end.  4 decorative street lights spaced evenly along the length of the street.  Perfect set up for a modified Triple Nickel.

Idea was to run up and over Derbyshire Dr, stopping at east light post along the way and with a final stop at the end for 5 reps of the called exercise at each stop.  Plank and wait for the 6 a the end of each round.  Completed the following exercises during the series:

  • Merkins
  • Jump Squats
  • LBCs
  • Carolina Dry Docks
  • Flutter (5 each leg)

At the wrong end of Derbyshire at the end so we alternated Lunge Walk and Sprint between each of the light posts and the other end at Warwickshire before heading back to the launch point.  Made our way back to McKee Rd Elementary with a couple stops along the way to gather the 6.

COT

NMM:

  • Welcome to Lumberjack and DQ to the AO.  Both have been posting for a few weeks with Area 51, but this was there first visit to McKee Rd for the 60 minute edition.
  • Strong work by Lobster Roll, Ocho Cinco, O’Tannenbaum and Squid leading on the modified Triple Nickel with Slapshot not far behind.
  • Beaver appeared to approve of the off campus visit and indicated he may take us back out that way on his next Q.  PAX can thank Frasier for the tour as he found this hidden gem a good while back and we had not been back for a return visit until now.
  • Apologize for the 2 min of overtime as I miscalculated the time for the return and probably could have cut the rock work by a round to time it better.  See management for a refund of your admission $s.
  • Thanks to Squid for the takeout.

Announcements:

  • Area 51/SOB/Union County end of summer pool party was Saturday afternoon at Candlewyck Pool.  Van Pelt provided some quality BBQ from all reports.
  • 2nd Annual Southern Discomfort, Area 51s own CSAUP event, is scheduled for 10/22.  Should be 10-13 miles with several stops at various AOs for short pain stations.  Margo and Gerber are the co-Qs.  Look for more details to follow.
