Gopher At The Peak

24 PAX, including 1 FNG, posted at #F3Peak51 for their #DownPAINment and got some work done.

The Thang:

Mosey over to the track and take a warm up lap, circle up in the bus parking lot.

COP:

  • Burpee x1 OYO
  • SSH x 20 IC
  • Burpee x 2 OYO
  • Merkins x 10 IC
  • Burpee x 3 OYO

Freeze Gopher:

Head to the Bus lot and partner up for a favorite of YHC, the Gopher. Partner 1 runs a lap around the track while Partner 2 heads to the bleachers by the ball field and performs 10 Dips, 10 LBcs, 10 CCDs. Meet back at the bus lot, perform 10 combined merkins, flapjack. Rinse and repeat for 5 rounds.

Mary:

Return to the start point  for some Mary.

  • Flutters x 15 IC
  • LBCs x 20 IC
  • Rosalita x 15 IC
  • Dolly’s x 20

Done, or maybe not, YHC had called time based upon his watch, which was showing 45 minutes had passed, but was quite surprised when I noticed that we still had 7 minutes left. YHC was perplexed, Garmin can’t be wrong, what’s going on here?  Oh well, as the Lenny Kravitz song says “It ain’ over till it’s over”, and YHC wants the PAX to get their monies worth, so here we go.

  • Merkins x 10 IC
  • Windmills x 10  IC
  • Go grab a piece of wall for the People’s Chair AKA “The Semi Gloss”. Smokey called for arm raises and YHC obliged, 2 rounds, 75 and then 100.
  • Smokey then called for BTW, he’s really quite the giver, and so YHC obliged.Done!

Moleskin:

  • Great effort by the PAX t today, the Peak 51 crew never disappoints and YHC is humbled to lead.
  • So after some investigation, Slim Fast identified the issue with YHC’s watch, which was that I had started an activity last night that was disrupted and I never reset the watch before Peak 51. While were were in COP, I couldn’t believe how fast time was going by, maybe we were having too much fun. #Cobains for the watch fail.
  • Dumpster Fire was the #LarryBird the entire workout, well done. He continues to push himself, and I’m amazed at how far he’s come since his first post at Peak 51.
  • The #Gopher is a real crowd pleaser and while it makes for a short #Weinke, it’s a great way to mix cardio and some PT. We completed about 2 miles this morning.
  • Welcome FNG Benny, EH’d by Early bird who seems to be bringing and FNG every week.Benny is from NJ and aptly named by fellow NJ native Snoopy.
  • Thank you to Smokey for taking us out, our prayers are with Huggie Bear and his family.
  • Thanks to Sensei and Booyah for opportunity to lead and please sound off with any mumble chatter.

Oops, Kilowatt and I owe you some merkins. We thought it was ten combined. Thanks again for the Q.

Loved today’s menu, Geraldo. Solid Q as usual…even the post-credits scenes…glad that Sensei’s 8 minutes of merkins line was just a joke.

Let the record also reflect that “Wax” has been appropriately retconned to “SexWax” which is more closely associated with the surf shop reference that was the genesis of his name.

SexWax – Keep posting, brother. I forget who said it, but “it doesn’t get easier, but you do get stronger.” It’s an honor to post w/you.

Snoopy – Thanks for the push and motivation to keep pushing.

Found out this am that Lois is a fellow Gamecock. Very important intel, as we will have a lot to complain about for the rest of the season. Shout-out to Tweetsie for being Lois’ chauffeur.

Welcome, Benny. Good to have you with us.
