And then there was… humidity

One would think that the humidity would be less in the fall, but who am I kidding. This is Charlotte and we live in the bowels of the humidity zone also known as the piedmont. Now don’t get me wrong, I know all the Floridians and Gulf coasters will be like Wahhhhh, this is nothing compared to where I’m from. Well if it’s not so bad you can go home. J/K I am just whining because I am sick of humidity, but as always at 5am the weather report says 90%. So we rise and “shine” to the best of our abilities and move out. To be honest YHC had forgotten about Q’n The Big House and owe all the credit to making the workout to the stellar Site-Q’s DumpyMcDumperson Fire and Ole PVT Benji. Thanks for the reminder. To bad DF left his phone at home and missed my texts about parking. YHC parked down past the “gladiators” and headed out to survey some grounds and subsequently meeting up with the Pax at the normal parking lot at P-Ville PD. Pax Disclaimed we launch.

Follow me for a brisk lap around the ball park. Cheese Curd mumbled something the whole time about the pace, then took the lead just as YHC slowed us down to catch up the six. Find a suitable rock for lifting (show off the guns for the tomatoes in spandex across the parking lot) and mosey to the far field house for COP.

Mosey to YHC’s clown car to find the bodies, er weights in the trunk. Get in groups of 3 and grab a 35lb plate and a cinder block. Mosey to adjacent parking lot.
Partner 1 runs a .2 mile loop around park while partner 2 does cinder block squats and partner 3 does hairburners. Cumulative total of 100 squats and 20 hairburners. Runner goes to squat, squat to hairburners, hairburners to runner. Rinse and repeat till totals are met. 4 man team did some extra credit. #crowdpleaser

Reverse plank to wait on the last runners and return all the gear and rocks to their resting places.

Line up and Indian Run to 51. Turned to start lot and since this is The Big House we have to have a “Jail Break”. Sprint from 51 to the flag. Flag had fallen and PVT Benjamin took responsibility. He now has to write on the chalkboard 1,000 times, “I will plant the flag with passion and force.”

Moleskin:
The Big House is a solid AO. The park is filled with all manners of beatdown potential and moving out around town offers a scenic and delightful tour of the small village that is Pineville. Don’t sleep on this workout, the pax swirling ball of snakes will surely find great use of this area. Thanks to DF and PVT B for letting me lead.

Cheese Curd had some things to say early on but we fixed that with some rock work and then hairburners, the ultimate equalizer. YHC and Tootie parked in BUFU Egypt as we didn’t know if the PVille PD lot was still unavailable. Bonus points for pre and post run! Scabby runs like a gazelle on the plains of the serengeti. He is both graceful and powerful. #runnercrush PVT Benjamin said something about a shoulder injury but showed no signs of pain in the face of the crushing shoulder smoking YHC provided. Kudos brother. Shrink Wrap and YHC had to think quick and grab more gear for our odd number partner work. Audible to do more work was solid. Dumpster Fire suffered in silence as his laser focus could not be broken, much like his spirit.
