The Beast Leaves Its Mark

The Beast Leaves Its Mark

11 men gathered this morning under the lights of the OPES parking lot for another battle with the #F3Hydra. After a disclaimer that would’ve made the Nantan proud, off we went.

The Thang

From the parking lot, we turned right onto Rea and then took a right onto Summerlin. We stopped at the first left, Wessynton Drive, for round 1 of our COT on the move… MCs x 15 IC. Run down Wessynton to Cornwallis Camp Drive…stop for IWs x 15 IC. Turn left on Cornwallis stopping at Stonecroft Park Drive for Merkins x 15 IC. Turn left onto Stonecroft and loop it around to Colony… stop for Squats x 15 IC.

From there we turned left onto Colony and then took an almost immediate left into the parking lot of the office building that shares the complex with A51’s favorite watering hole, The Lodge. We lined up in the lot for #TheBeast…6 exercises, 6 stops, 6 reps.

• Merkins
• Jump Squats
• LBCs
• Dry Docks
• Lunges
• Burpees

After #TheBeast, we moseyed from which we came, stopping along the way for some planking. Then from Cornwallis Camp to the first street light on Wessynton, we did the #TripleNickel… Merkins at the bottom and Jump Squats at the top.

Mosey back to the school for some Mary and Merkins:

• LBCs x 15 IC
• Straight Leg Lifts x 15 IC
• Merkins x 10 IC
• Toe Tap Crunches x 15 IC
• Flutters x 15 IC
• Merkins x 10 IC
• Freddy Mercury x 15 IC
• Dollies x 15 IC

Recover. 10 Burpees OYO. Done.

Moleskine

This was a simple plan with some old school pain activators. But with a new route to the shopping center, thanks to Google maps. With the burpees at the end, #TheBeast always leaves its mark. So does Puddin’ Pop. Officially diagnosed with “Exercise Induced Flatulence”, the man served some straight up #TrouserChili on the run back.

During #TheBeast, we did some planking, including a chair plank a/k/a the “Semi-Gloss”. When SG was mentioned, YHC violated HIPAA laws and noted that he was on IR…broken foot from riding his daughter’s bicycle is what I heard. Anyway, get well soon brother…the Pax need you.

One Eye, Champagne and Sleepy dominated #TheBeast and the #TripleNickel. Hannibal was right up there too, despite not ever posting at bootcamps anymore. Lewinski was right beside me during #TheBeast putting in solid work. And Scratch&Win has pretty much worked himself back into shape…keep playing brother. The #F3Hydra regulars of Marge, Jet Fuel (who only said “Roll Tide” once this morning… #PR) and Queen just show up and crush whatever’s put before them.

Queen and Marge…thanks for your site leadership and for giving me the keys this AM. Puddin’, solid take out brother.
