Peak 51 12 Days of Christmas, Don’t poke the bear

Peak 51 12 Days of Christmas, Don’t poke the bear

9 Pax made the smart decision to post at Peak 51 on an unseasonably warm Thursday morning. After a brief disclaimer in which it was warned not to poke YHC as he was still bitter about the Giants loss to Tennessee and their season. We went off towards the Bus Parking lot through the local church parking lot. Prior to beginning the workout YHC added on to modify to avoid injury not discomfort during todays workout.

COP:
20 IW IC
10 Windmills IC
10 LSS IC

Thang: After a brief COP, instructions were given we would be doing the 12 days of Christmas workout.

The pax would perform exercises with the number of days equal the number of reps per exercise. As you get to the next exercise then perform each preceding exercise and rep count.

1st Day-Lap around the track hot pace, day 1 only. All other times we reached Day 1 an audible was made to have our lap be around the bus lot to keep the pax together.

2nd Day- Carolina Dry Docks. 3 jabs at YHC have occurred.

3rd Day- Jump Squats, Smokey and Slim Fast continue to poke YHC.

4th Day- Mountain Climbers, Lois begins to try and stop the pax from poking the bear.

5th Day- Merkins

6th Day- Lunges( 6 each leg)

7th Day-LBCs

8th Day- Heels to Heaven

9th Day- Dolly

10th Day- Flutter Kicks

11th Day- American Hammer, Lois blocks

12th Day-Burpees

After a couple of 10 counts we took the long way back to launch, where we waited to begin our COT for our Sparta pax to join us from an Orange Whip 1,000 Burpee beatdown.

Moleskin: YHC remembered his first 12 days of Christmas Beatdown led by Geraldo last year. It legit sucked, followed by another 12 days of Christmas beatdown by Goonie at Basecamp the next day. The pax today absolutely killed it out there, Smokey and Tweetsie were consistently up in front most of the morning. Major T-Claps to Tweetsie for pre-running solo this morning, shows true dedication to go pre-running solo instead of just going back into the car and booze off prior to a workout. T-Claps also to Jello for making the trek over from the other side of 51 to Peak today, guess that’s what happens when he’s relieved of being a driver for his 2.0 music practices on Thursday mornings.

Mileage ranged from 2.1-2.5 miles depending on pace, the 12 Days of Christmas has many different forms all of which deliver one thing as I finish typing this back blast. Being completely sore now from the beatdown YHC , I think it’s safe to say that the moderate flag of Peak 51 was thrown out the window today. You can thank the fellow pax for continuing to poke the bear, y’all were warned what would happen if you continued to poke at YHC.

I don’t get to post at Peak 51 that often anymore, this site holds a special place as this is where I had my first post, VQ, and many other numerous Q’s including a virtual one by Lois and Sensei in May. This however, was YHC’s first official Q at Peak since October 2017. Injuries and a new teaching job which includes not friendly F3 report time to work makes posting at workouts virtually impossible unless YHC has a day off of work.

It was an honor to lead today, hopefully I’m able to come back out to Peak more often.

Announcements:

1. Centurion update **meeting at Margo’s clubhouse** Cameron Wood (not Charlotte Catholic High) 0530 start.
2. Keep F3- Huggy Bear & Cooter in prayers as they heal. Also, Fia Digits Family, who experienced an unthinkable loss during a running workout this week.
3. If you’re going off site during workouts, ensure that there is at least 1 cell phone incase something happens as well as head lamps and road identification.
4. Joust Converges with Kevlar at Covenant Day tomorrow.
5. Mountain Goat is on tomorrow and 12/28.
6. Help Lois and Sensei out and sign up to Q Peak 51 next week! YHC would otherwise take the slow however, I’ll be out of town next week.
7. Joe Davis is March 9th, sign up before Slim Fast signs you up. Chances are he has already signed you up you just don’t know it yet.
8. Thank you to Tweetsie for the strong take out.
9. Make sure to sound off with any mumble chatter or notes that I may have missed during the workout. Have a safe Holiday Season everyone!
