Goal for the day was to take a tour of Centurion and all that it has to offer.  Start by partnering up.  Partner 1 runs up the shopping center stairs and to the middle for 5 burpees then down the other set of stairs.  Partner 2 is performing an exercise.

Round 1 – Jump Squats

Round 2 – CDD

Round 3 – Both partners run the stairs in opposite directions (no Burpees this round)

Mosey across 51 to Palatine for the Bermuda Triangle.  The Bermuda triangle consists of 3 points where exercises are performed.  Point 1 – Run up Palatine Hill for 5 burpees at the top.  Run down hill and towards Cabo Mexican restaurant. Hang a right to reach Point 2 for 20 dips on benches between office buildings. Continue to Carmel Commons Rd for 10 jump squats at Point 3 and finish at the bottom of Palatine Hill.  Performed 3 rounds total.

Udder slides in to lead the Pax back to CCHS. Short pause at 51 to regroup for cross walk safety. Mosey around to CCHS front door.

Get in groups of 3 and each team member starts at one of three stations to endure some TBQ.

Station 1: Grab Escargot’s detergent bottle sand filled weights. Lunge walk the ramp to front door. Mosey back to start
Station 2: Hair burners downhill the length of a parking lot island. Turn it around at push it back up.
Station 3: Wall walkers on CCHS wall approximately 25-30 yards.

Hit every station and meet back up at the wall. Assume the position for a round of Ascending Testicles.
For those that do not know, Feet on wall, body parallel to ground and assume a merkin position. 10 merkins. Push up wall to 45 degrees. 10 merkins. Push all the way to Balls to the Wall position. 10 merkins. At this point in time I could not do a push up again and we held a 10 count inverted.

Mosey to Tartatus. Pyramid of burpee fail. Starting at bottom do two burpees. Run ramp and increase burpees by 2 each stop. Go up to 10 burpees. 10 got us to the top for we really just did a ladder.

On the deck roof form up 2 lines and race Cheddar Shredder style from light pole to light pole. Approx 35 yards. Cheddar Shredder is everyone planking in a line shoulder to shoulder and the last man turns to face line and does a handslap merkin with every pax in line. so plank walk/handslap merkin. The next guy turns to face line and follows. Each line went through two times. There was much mumblechatter and overall disdain for YHC.

Mosey back to CCHS front and grab gear to bring back to the start.

LunchTime Moleskinny:

Today’s work was deceptively hard.

Things to know:

• The Bermuda Triangle is nothing to trifle with. Palentine hill makes it sneaky hard.
• We got in just shy of 3 miles. Fraiser and Fire Hazard got in 5+. Kudos to the pre runners. Would have run with y’all but I began to setup to late.
• Mario got in a lot of leg work today as he is limited to no ground work with a busted paw. (stitches in left palm from Asheville Spartan) But he sure can squat deep and proud.
• Lorax, Rachel and Thin Mint were out in front like always. Fast dudes, trying to keep up will only make you better or throw up.
• Strong work from all our resident Centurion guys.
• The Brave guys can move and have the endurance of young wild stallions. Glad to have you out and we look forward to repayment sometime this fall.
• Snuka, Scabby, Lt Dan and one other joined us late, bringing the total to 27. Apparently they do not engage in any form of social media to note the 5:15 start time update. The sign went unnoticed. Sorry you went through all that trouble Margo.
