17 men assembled for an assault on the biggest and best AO in Area 51. Once disclaimed, we proceeded thusly.
Yog through the expansive front yard, ignoring the early complaints from Haze about the uneven terrain. The abundance of private school AOs has softened the PAX. Haze used to be Yellow Rose-parking lot tough. Gather up near the traffic light for a sensible warmup consisting of IW, MC and 6-count burpees (for Hops). AYG down the sidewalk on 51 to the first entrance on the left. Select a lifting rock and head up to the islands parking lot.
Line up abreast at the first island. With your rock, 5 curls, 5 OH press, 5 tricep extensions, then run to the last island and back to your rock. Take your rock to the next island and repeat from there all the way through the parking lot. Purell and Scabby earned bonus points (redeemable for “Legends of Area 51” autographed memorabilia) by running through the last island all the way to the curb. Recover with more lifting (without the running). We left our rocks there for safekeeping.
Mosey over to the hill next to the ball field for a little weave run up and down the hill, working our way towards the hotbox. Utah was either confused or angry and just wandered around for a few minutes during this part. He seemed ok by the end though. Muster in the hotbox and select a bench – 5 jump ups, 10 derkins, 15 dips then go touch the first trash can and back to your bench. Repeat for all 7 trash cans. Ouch. Recover with some People’s Chair and BTW. Turkey Leg questioned the practicality of BTW – easy for him when he weighs 78 pounds. Try holding my 215 up there. Udder successfully got all the way up to putting his Bs on the W – impressive. The church will want to wipe that part of the wall down though.
Head back over to where we left our rocks. Partner up. Partner A takes both rocks and starts towards their home while partner 2 does 5 HR merkins and chases. Repeat until the rocks are home. A little Mary there and then back at the launch to run out the clock.
Good times. Join me for my 3rd of 4 Qs this week tomorrow at The Fishing Hole.
