A Series of Unfortunate Events



A Series of Unfortunate Events

In an effort to literally one-up the 8 neighboring PAX at Meathead this fine morning, 9 PAX arrived about 200 yards away at Anvil, the nation’s premiere Wednesday boot camp at a church named Calvary.  It was quickly pointed out by Limey himself that he was starting his day with a poor decision by posting in near-freezing weather.

WARM-UP

Mosey to a location near the Rea entrance

Hillbillies x 10 IC

Mosey to a location closer to the church

Motivators – Begin at 10 and count down, only making it to 8 before the pain of boredom and imminent PAX refusenik set in

Mosey some more

Nancy Kerrigans x 10 IC / flapjack to other leg

Moroccan Night Club x 15 IC

 

THE THANG

Run along the back of the parking lot from the cemetery to the Hot Box, stopping at each light pole for 6 shoulder taps.

Mosey to the rock pile for a lifting rock.

Head to the nearest parking area where the PAX lined up with their rock.  One PAX would call an exercise then run to the far light pole, do 2 burpees and run back, acting as timer while the remaining PAX did said exercise.  Repeato for all PAX. (Thrusters, Squats, raised-rock flutter, chest press, curls, Triple Lindy, tricep extenstions, bent-over rows.)

Bear crawl to the first light pole, while dragging or pushing the rock.  Terrible idea leading to returning the rocks.

Return to lot adjacent to 51, grab a line and do 10x line jumps/ski slalom jumps, run to next section and repeat, through 6 sections of parking lot.

Mosey to an area.  Angry Al Gore x 10 IC. (Al Gore with punches)  Little Baby Dips on the curb x 30 IC.

Run back and at each light pole, do 6x Monkey Humpers.

More Angry Al Gore.

Mosey to COT and American Hammer to finish.

 

MOLESKINE

YHC based much of the weinke on a nice aerial view of Calvary Church, as provided by our dear friends at Google.  Lies.  All lies.  It was planned that there would be running between parking islands, some Supermans and backwards runs, some burpees.  These parking islands were not as expected and, frankly, not to be seen.  Around that same time is when the Motivators kicked in and we realized how terrible an exercise that is, especially if going for the full 10-to-1.  Didn’t happen.

Another unfortunate event was that Limey — who already knew he was making a poor decision — strained his back somewhere in the early moseying.  But the man stuck with it because… maybe because he couldn’t find his keys right away to drive home.  But he gets credit.  That should have been a sign to YHC to nix the plans for the bear crawl with the rock push/drag, but it wasn’t.  That was a terrible decision.  Hairburners are rough — rock hairburners are miserable.  Maybe that’s why it seemed like the only other PAX who didn’t opt for walking lunges (Q-jack anyone?) was the site Q who roped YHC into Qing, Point Break.  Your guilt/pity is appreciated.

A51 got a flavor of YHC’s penchant for digging into the depths of the Exicon and some, like Bounce, came away with their eyes opened and minds enlightened.  Bubblewrap’s bad decision was to show up without gloves, and Hammer has skating potential after the Nancy Kerrigans.  Good to cross paths with Rachel again after a long time and Snowflake ran off into the gloom after we wrapped, leaving Lorax and Point Break to regret inviting a Q from the ‘Haw.

Good times and unfortunate events along Area 51.

 

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Blood Drive.  Mighty Mite has more details, but he was at the other workout at Calvary, so we didn’t get the full deets.
