To Get to LC of Course
9 pax came out to get their weekend started the right way. We indeed found out the answer to why did the pax cross the road. Here’s what we did.
The Thang
Mosey around the perimeter of the Calvary parking lot eventually making our way to the rock pile near 51. Grab a lifting rock and circle up for COP. It went like this:
-10 SSH in cadence, 15 rock curls OYO, 5 Burpees OYO
-10 IW in cadence, 15 triceps extensions OYO, 5 Burpees OYO
-10 Merkins in cadence, 15 flutter presses OYO, 5 Burpees OYO
-10 LSS in cadence, 15 Thrusters OYO, 5 Burpees OYO
Return the rocks back to the pile. Mosey across 51 and enter into the Whitegate neighborhood. Stop at the Calley Glenn and Five Knolls intersection. Next set was to run down Five Knolls making 3 stops on the way out (Macdara Glenn, bottom of LC, Whisperwood) and 3 stops on the way back (bottom of LC, Macdara Glenn, Calley Glenn) doing called exercise at each stop. We did 2 rounds. The first was 10 jump squats at each stop. The second round was 5 Burpees. Mosey a little closer to LC stopping at the man hole cover at the top. There are 6 man hole covers on the slope of the LC. We would run down to the bottom and then do called exercise at each cover on the way back up. We did 3 rounds. Round 1 was 10 mountain climbers. Round 2 was 10 plank jacks. Round 3 was 5 monkey humpers. Gather everyone up and head back to the rock pile where we started. Grab a lifting rock. 10 Thrusters, drop the rock, run around the trees in the field and back. Repeat but with 10 Rockies. Return the rocks. Head to the launch. Done.

Great work today men. That was fun. Welcome to FNG Tek who Flipper brought out. He’s an IT guy and hates Virginia Tech (he went to Virginia) so the name seems fitting.
Announcements
The beer mile is on 5/11 at 6:30. Location is TBD. Talk to Gummy or Hoover for details.

Reading that now brings back bad memories on an otherwise lovely day. I hate that hill. Does the city know about the grade of that hill? Surely it didn’t go through the proper inspections when they built the road. No way that’s legal. Also of questionable legality, 9 dudes doing monkey humpers in front of an innocent woman out for her morning walk. Awkward. Most had the decency to point the activity away from the lady though.
Twas nice to have my Canadian neighbor out to a workout again. I’m rusty on my canadian jokes though and ran out of material about 10 minutes in (How many metric burpees is that?). Hammer has dropped a few lbs and was killing it out there. I feel bad for Rachel when none of his other fast friends post; it must be lonely out front by himself. Nemo let his dad, Marlin, beat up him the hill at least once. Embarrasing. Hoover is a runner now – crushing it now coming off the SMR experience. If only he were built for running. FNG Tek was oddly hostile about a couple of comments from the PAX – he wanted it to be very clear that he works WITH Flipper, not FOR Flipper. Geez. Must be something more to the story.
