This and That
Under the bright lights of the CCHS campus, 23 men gathered for #F3Centurion. After a disclaimer that hopefully satisfied the Nantan, off we went.
The Thang and Moleskine
Run up the hill on Little Street up the Bonefish Grill parking lot. There was no Bang Bang shrimp, unless you count Runstopper (sorry RS, but I never get to make short jokes. Or bald jokes). We gathered for COP:
IWs x 20 IC, MCs x 20 IC, Squats x 20 IC, Merkins x 10 IC.
Then we moseyed over to the stairs, partnering up along the way. YHC was odd man out.
Partner 1 – Merkins (x5, 4, 3, 2, 1) and Plank Walk between parking lot lines
Partner 2 – Run up the steps, 10 jump squats in the middle up top, down the other steps, 10 jump squats at the bottom.
We did that twice. Then we moseyed down 51 to the front of the school, at the picnic tables. We did 3 rounds of 10s:
10 step ups (each leg), 10 derkins, 10 incline merkins. YHC caught grief here from Hops and Runstopper because they wanted to know how many times to repeat, which YHC failed to announce at the onset. Of course, when it was announced, they missed it due to chatter.
After the 3 picnic table sets, we moseyed to the garage. Oddly enough, had it rained like predicted, we would have stayed away from the garage so we could fully embrace the suck of the downpour. Find your partner.
Partner 1 – Run the length of the garage with 5 burpees at the top of the ramp. Repeat until Partner 2 returns.
Partner 2 – Run the short way up to the top. 10 jump squats. Then down the stairs.
Flapjack. Repeat.
After some Udder-led Air Presses, we moseyed back to base. Arrived with exactly 6 minutes to go…totally planned of course, for 6 minutes of Mary.
LBCs x 15 IC, Straight Leg Lifts x 15 IC, Merkins x 10 IC (Checkpoint correctly noted this wasn’t Mary…but we did them anyway), Flutter Kicks x 15 IC, Dollies x 15 IC, Merkins x 10 IC, Freddy Mercury x 20 IC (5 fast, 5 slow, 5 fast, 5 slow).
Done.
YHC hadn’t Q’d in a while. Thankfully the chatter was low, except for Pro. But he’s always talking and YHC has learned to ignore him. Champagne did talk trash to me about his Wolfpack vs my Gamecocks. For both, preseason is the best time of the year. Great to see a lot of old guys and new faces at Centurion. It is by far the best Friday AO in the South.

It was a Centurion reunion this morning, thus, the chatter with RS. And your voice matches your stature… Brushback has returned to the pax, and Curd made an appearance no less….there must have been a solar eclipse or something. Haze forgot to mention my Carolina shirt..,Brushback and Champagne loved it. Paper Jam was apoplectic.
Tool Bag has mastered the ski jump squat and full eschewed any semblance of jump squats or burpees.
Scabby gave me a hug during Haze’s disclaimer. Not sure if it was due to the Buckeyes’ W or the fact he was on time for the first time ever.
Centurion is a great AO and a great group of pax…even if the brothers Chepul were AWOL.
Hated to miss but the M had enough of my BRR training (I actually trained this year). Of course, she promptly fart-sacked and made it that much worse. Probably a good thing I missed as the final Cuda Run Thursday night dictated some rest was the right move.
Awesome to hear so many old farts came back out. Was Run Stopper using a cane?
