DK partially Q-jacks The Rock
The VSF was planted….perhaps before 8.5 pax did 30 minutes of pre-work at The Rock. At 0700, 16 of Area 51’s finest and one of The Fort’s filed in behind Stagecoach.
The Thang:
Little baby jog around the parking lot. Turn everyone around to loop back and pick up the late-comer. Everyone welcome Skywalker! Continue jog to search for an open area in a parking lot. Good, we found one.

Hops Q:
Jog to soccer fields while YHC grabs bag of tennis balls and racket.
YHC launches a tennis ball numbered 13 with aforementioned racket. AYG sprint to the ball.
Dolly x 13. Sprint back to start point.
Ninja Turtle feebly hits tennis ball…..also numbered 13.
Lunge walk to ball. Plank for 1 minute. 13 H-R Merkins.
Lunge walk back.
YHC again launches a tennis ball…incredibly also numbered 13. What are the odds.
Someone suggests bear crawl, so YHC obliges.
After DK, who is inhuman with his bear crawl, pushes the ball even further down the field – we stop.
DK then suggests Jack Webb, thus, we do Jack Webbs up to 13 Merkins/52 overhead presses.
AYG sprint back to starting point
Jog to pavilion.
Peoples Chair – 90 seconds
Plank for 1 minute
13x H-R Merkins
Jog to COT
- Lots of chatter about UNC vs. DOOK game tonight. Everyone must pick a side, there’s no in between in this rivalry.
- Loved the encouragement/hazing that took place in the merkin ladder.
- What’s up with Hops asking Donkey Kong to call an exercise…thanks for the Jack Webb’s up to 13. I still can’t feel my shoulders.
- For the record, Stagecoach posted the above 3 points. YHC did not ask DK for help, rather, he gave it unsolicited but didn’t have the heart to dis my merkin/boulder partner.
- DK also was unusually vociferous with his form policing. Methinks he’s spent too much time around GoRuck cadres and/or TR.
Announcements:
MudRun transportation info to come soon. Stagecoach is Event Q.
F3 Mentoring – please signup. Area 51’s Skywalker and Champagne are helping Q this effort. Signup on the website as a Mentor or Mentee. Life on Life. Iron Sharpening Iron.
