I really shouldn’t, Eddie. My hands are all chapped.
11 men gathered in the safest AO parking lot in the city, were properly disclaimed, then proceeded thusly.
Yog out of the police department visitor’s lot into the dangerous streets of Pineville. Not really. Just down the park driveway to the entrance for a high-visibility warmup COP near the road. #advertising. We did the usual (SSH, IW, etc.), then moseyed back into the park down the driveway, interrupted by lunge walks, burpee broad jumps, carioca, etc. AYG back to the park entrance (quarter mile). A little Mary recovery, then AYG back. Amble over to the little walls nearby for some 10x derkins, 20x step ups, 30x dips. Repeat.
Partner up and gather at one end of the parking lot. Partner 1 does an exercise while partner 2 runs to the first median. Flapjack, but run to the second median. And so on. Three sets: 100 HR merkins, 150 jump squats, 150 LBCs. Udder bullied Cinnamon into a faster pace on the last lap to get the win, just as Alf’s PEDs were wearing off.
Meander over to the nearby grassy field. Mary. Then line up abreast for wind sprints across the width of the field. 10 sprints with a countdown from 10 between each one. Mermaid was nervously looking at his watch the whole time. It was a little longer back to the cars than I remembered, but we were only about 30 secs over.
This is a great new AO out in Pineville. Tons of space in the parking lots and fields, lots of picnic tables, walls, etc. Get out there and support the westward expansion of SOBs and Area 51.
Joe Davis Run signups still open. We’re trying to get to 1000 guys registered, and we’re around 500 now. See the newsletter for details.

Great AO. Safest I have ever felt running away from the launch lot. Awesome options and well lit. Gummy put together a solid beatdown. The 2 1/3 mile sprints were well placed to get the heart rate up. Partner suicide stacks were solid. That was a lot of H-R merkins. Good to meet a few of the new guys from Pineville.
Get this one on your list for a Monday soon and EH any guys you know down in P-ville who need F3.
Aye – A great AO. I had seen some photo’s of the place from Dumpster Fire but it was far better than the photo’s. Lot’s of ground to cover and options out there. Thanks to DF and Cheddar for Q’ing this AO and spreading South Charlotte to it’s westward edge. Oh – and Gummy put together a solid beating.
Solid Q and Beatdown, Gummy. Thanks for leading. For those not listening about the origins of The Big House name…it’s two-fold. I’m originally from Michigan, grew up a Wolverines fan (though I went to Univeristy of S. Carolina). We also happen to be comfortably next to the police station, so the name was a way to give a shout-out to my mother country as well as have a name that acknowledges THE landmark for the AO.
The runner up was “Williams-Brice Stadium”…but speaking as a Gamecock, there typically aren’t very many beatdowns that occur there….
