Who’s afraid of the 13th?

19 brothers of A51 gathered in the gloom expecting pain as a result of Friday the 13th.  Pain was subsequently served and hopefully in enough quantity to satisfy the PAX.

The Thang:

  • IW x 13 IC
  • Merkins x 13 IC…hold….
  • Plank with alternating shoulder taps x 13 IC

Aquatic center lot: partner-up and size matters

  • Partner carry length of lot; 13 jump squats each; run back down (flapjack, rinse and repeat)
  • Wheelbarrow length of lot; 13 derkins each on planking partner (flapjack, rinse and repeat)

Fast mosey to shopping center at Carmel/51

Triple 13s (forever to be known as the Freddy Kreuger courtesy of Chelms)

  • Run: up stairs, across to 2nd stairs, descend x 13

Dolly x 21 IC…..hold……10 count Champagne……10 count Mighty Might

Fast mosey down 51 to front of CC…..stop….. AYG…..to launch lot!!

Moleskine:

Strong veteran crew out there this morning.  Knew we would have some good chatter with Semi, Hannibal, Steinbrenner and of course the everpresent Q-nagging from Chelms.  Couple of mumbles of concern as we entered the paliative care lot for COP, but alas the Q wasn’t trying to hurt anybody….at least not yet.

As we arrived at the launch site of the triple 13 and instructions were given, the real vitriol came out. Such statements were heard as, “Q must have forgotten the weinke” and “how uninventive”.  Both of which i believe were Semi.  This little gem was thought up a couple of days ago. I’m a big fan of having a plan set out before me, that is both mentally and physcially challenging.  The mental challenge comes in with the time it takes to slog through this for 20 minutes; i know i had my doubts about finishing it out.  Solid effort by the PAX to push through; no one was quitting and pushed hard.  Tclaps to Udder and Lex Luther doing all of this with the ruck, and to the Larry Birds (Chelms, Bout Time, Purple Haze, maybe couple others).

Took the count to 21 on the Dolly to throw the pack off the scent, as by that time the calls of “how predictable” began to rain down.  Take that and like it!  And no Chelms, mary is not my wheelhouse.

There was a small band of pre-KBers but I couldn’t tell who it was as they were tucked back in a dark corner.  Good job of making sure to be in the most likely spot to get accosted.  Shout out below if you want credit.

Gentlemen, it was a pleasure to lead you this morning.  I thank God for F3 and each and every one of you.  The bonds we have made through the physical exertion, fellowship, and the growing of our faith cannot be overstated.

Thanks for the takeout Snowflake.  Aye!

The Freddy certainly delivered the goods. A few suggestions to use the elevator but we decided to stick to the plan. FNG to Centurion and I was not disappointed……smoked, yes, but not disappointed.

Freddy Krueger is scarier at Centurion than in the movies. Mighty mite led most of the way but Bout Time and I were able to pass him at the end. PH must have paid you to list him as a LB (I was not reading the back of his T this am).

I was complaining during 10 count because you called out Champagne for the count – it is his wheelhouse. We could have been back to COT five minutes early if you had called my name.

That was a good one – now I can sleep in late on Valentines Day (wink, wink)

Brushback, Have to be honest and let you know I did not like you this a.m. as we were making round after round up and down those steps. Must be bad when hand release Merkins are a nice break. Nice Q at Centurion. KBers were myself, Udder, & Lex Luthor, sans rucks.
