Evelyn’s Hill

YHC departed the house this morning to rain, heat lightning, and ominous weather forecasts from the local weather geeks.  During my short drive to the AO (which included a gully washer- ‘Bama lingo for heavy rain), a Weinke audible was quickly formulated that involved covered spaces.  Zero cars in the parking lot at 5:26 a.m.  A quick check of Weather Bug revealed potential clearing, thus lifting YHC’s spirits.  As if on cue, the PAX arrived.  We were doing this uncovered.  #swingforthefences  Audibled the audible.

Disclaimer was provided mainly for Slum Dog’s benefit, as he returned to the PAX after a 3-4 year absence.  Is there such a thing as a Born Again FNG??  Well, maybe there should be…. Off into the gloom we went sans rain.

Warm-up:

  • LSS x 20 IC
  • Merkin x 10 IC
  • Plyo Jump Lunge x 10 IC
  • MC’s x 10 IC
  • Peter Parker x 10 IC
  • Parker Peter x 10 IC
  • Good Morning Nashville x 10 IC

The THANG:

Mosey down Rea Rd towards Colony.  Left on Chadwyck Farms Dr.  Stop at Windyrush Rd.

  • Plank Jacks x 10 IC
  • Misc. Plank pain and suffering

Continue on Windyrush Rd.  Stop at funky ranch house w/ the white mailbox, a.k.a. the bottom of the hill.  Top of the hill was defined as Banfield Place which is a gated entrance to Bellmore, aptly renamed “Hellmore” by Pop Tart later in the workout.  As Egypt noted, “That is where the rich people live.”  Duly noted, banker.

  • 7’s
  • Hand Release Merkins at the top
  • Plank Knee Ups at the bottom

During the pain, Egypt noticed a large boulder in one of the yards and alerted the PAX, “Just want everyone to know that is Evelyn’s Rock.  And she had a dog named Hector.”  Well, ok then.  From this day forward, the Windyrush hill shall be known as “Evelyn’s Hill.”  If anyone objects, then take it up with Egypt who will be busy feeding Hector.

Mosey to Edenbridge Ln and hang a left.  Despite lightning warnings from Marge (“probably should think about heading back”), we pressed onward.  #heatlightning  10 Merkins at each street light on the right side.  Mosey across Rea and congregate at the OPES big tree w/ benches, the perfect setting when lightning is in the area.

  • Step Ups 10 ea. leg OYO
  • Dips x 10 IC

Mosey to the OPES black top.  Line up abreast.

  • Planker’s Delight (thank you, Dumpster Fire, for this beast)
  • PAX holds plank
  • PAX #1 plank walks down the line, hand slap Merkins w/ ea. PAX
  • PAX continues to hold plank until all have walked the line
  • Ouch

Mosey to back of OPES.

  • People’s Chair
  • Merkins x 10 OYO in front of PAX
  • Air Presses (Q fail on the count; mixed civilian and cadence to the PAX’s chagrin)

Mosey to Launch.

  • Dolly x 16 IC (1 for each of Bama’s national football titles; yes, Clemson, you are still the champs)

Done

MOLESKIN

It was an honor to lead this group of men today.  YHC is a Hydra regular, but this was my Hydra VQ.  It was all fun and games until we hit Evelyn’s Hill, which is a beast.  Egypt crushed everyone (including Queen) on the hill emboldened by his astute observations of inanimate objects.  Strong work by the entire PAX today.  YHC was touched by Hannibal’s jet lagged participation.  Welcome back, Slum Dog.  Hope to see you posting regularly.  Puddin’ Pop will be glad to know YHC had Summerlin suicides on deck time permitting.  Next time, brother.  Face your fear.  Thanks for the great take-out today.  It was so memorable that YHC has no idea who delivered it.

Strong lead, JF. Evelyn’s Hill is no joke, as the well-lit plaque on her boulder would suggest. And that Planker’s Delight was nasty. Never been so relieved to have single-digits of Pax at a workout. 20 might have killed me.

Way to lead Hydra JetFuel. I am getting the itch to rejoin the F3 gloom and just reading this bb has me wanting to try out Evelyn’s Hill.
