Steeler Hangover in the DMZ

Steeler Hangover in the DMZ

With the real live DMZ shovel flag likely tucked snugly in the fartsack next to the DMZ site Q, seven of Area 51 and Metro’s finest assembled around the virtual shovel flag for this week’s installment of the best Monday morning workout straddling the border between Metro and A51.  After no FNGs were identified and the disclaimer was given, we were off.

The Thang

– Mosey up Carmel to Town & Country and assemble at the intersection with La Gorce for brief COP in whisper cadence:

SSH x15

Merkins x10

LBCs x10

Imperial Walker x10

– Mosey down to the bottom of the long T&C hill for 8s on the hill with, in a moment of perhaps unmatched Q creativity, megaburpees at the top and megaburpees at the bottom

It quickly became apparent to YHC at least that this was a terrible idea.  YHC should have known better as the idea for megaburpees at the top and bottom of a hill came from Cannoli, who, let’s be honest, is full of bad ideas.  YHC thought modifying to 8s from Cannoli’s 11s would make it less sucktastic, but the longer hill simply erased any upside from the fewer number of reps

– Most of the Pax completed the full set of 8s, then the Pax assembled at the bottom of the hill where Rachel was patiently waiting for us for a bit of Mary

Dolly x10

Freddie Mercury x10

Rosalita x10

Low, fast flutter x10

Russian twist x10

– Combo bear crawl / carb walk up T&C to Granada

– Backwards run up to La Gorce with audible to standard mosey to avoid getting pancaked by an oncoming car and/or falling into the delightful ditch on one side of the road

– Various planks, then AYG back to the lot

– Just a minute or so left, so why not do 10x Makhtar Ndiaye IC for a finisher

– COT

Naked Man Moleskine

– Another great idea on paper that proved to be much, much worse in person.  Thankfully, it wasn’t nearly as dark on Town & Country as has been the case in the past

– With only 7 Pax in attendance and a ~0.2 mile hill (each way), mumble chatter seemed to be fairly limited

– Rachel set the pace throughout.  Thankfully for the rest of us, the 8s weren’t quite long enough for him to lap anyone

– Missed having One Eye out there, but understand that he was probably still deep asleep in the fartsack dreaming about his Stillers’ victory over the Chiefs.  Had he posted, at least Rachel may have had some company

– Lots of regular Pax missing, which YHC can only assume was due to the MLK holiday and not a statement about the quality of YHC’s Qs

Thanks to One Eye for the keys and to the Pax for putting up with YHC’s lack of creativity.

God bless,
