3 x the Fun with BTW Wall Walks

3 x the Fun with BTW Wall Walks

9 PAX members decided it was better idea to roll out of bed on a cold Saturday morning and go run around for 60 minutes rather than stay in the fartsack and catch a few ZZZZs.  We gathered at McKee Road Elementary and the SF was planted firmly in the soil for another Saturday edition of Area 51.  As the clock struck 0700 hours, YHC led a crew of 7 over to the parking lot beside the soccer fields for a brief warm up lap and then we circled up for COP:

• SSH x 25 IC
• IW x 25 IC  (Lo and behold here comes Floor Slapper to give us an 8th member)
• Squat x 25 IC
• Merkin x 15 IC
• MC x 25 IC

Mosey over to the cinder block pile and grab a block for some fun.  (Oh, good morning Donkey Kong, glad you could join us.)  Head over to the soccer field and line up along the goal line.

• 5 curls w/ block, 5 push presses w/ block, 5 goblet squats w/ block, then run out to midfield and back (w/out the block)
• 10/10/10, then run length of field and back
• 15/15/15, run to midfield and back
• 10/10/10, run length of field and back
• 5/5/5, run to midfield and back

Return the cinder blocks to their resting spot and jog to other end of the school for BTW Wall Walk

• BTW wall walk 20-25 feet
• Lunge walk across the bus parking lot
• 15 incline merkins on the curb
• Rinse & repeat x 2 (because if 1 round is good for you & 2 rounds are better, then 3 rounds must really do the body good.  Not  sure all the PAX agreed.)

Head over to the infield of the track for 6 MOM:

• Dolly x 20 IC, hold’em
• Flutter x 20 IC, hold’em
• Rosalita x 20 IC
• LBC x 20 IC
• CCV x 10R IC
• CCV x 10L IC

Let’s head back towards the playground near our launch point for a little 3 man grinder.  9 PAX, so 3 even groups of 3.

• Group 1 starts with 5 pull-ups, 10 dips, 15 squats.  Keep cycling through until timer returns to relieve you.
• Group 2 will serve as the timer for 1st round.  Run to back playground with Group 3 and then return to front playground to relieve Group 1.
• Group 3 completes 10 jump ups/step-ups on the logs, 10 decline merkins with feet on logs, and 10 tire hops.
• Complete cycling through the 3 stations until YHC calls time.  Everyone completed at least 3 stops at each station.

Time for a little PC at the front of the school:

• PC x 60 secs with arms out front, arms over head and 25 air presses
• Recovery walk out to sidewalk
• PC x 75 secs, with left foot up, then right foot up
• Recovery walk to sidewalk

Head back over to soccer fields and line up for an Indian Run around the soccer fields, with a 5 merkin chaser for the last mine in line.  Run the perimeter of the light poles lined around the soccer fields.  After lap and a half, line up on the end line of the soccer fields.

• AYG length of the soccer field and then job back to launchpoint

NMM:

• Another strong group out there on Saturday.  Ocho Cinco flying as usual on the field with Cold Cuts and Lobster Roll providing a nice push
• Huggie Bear continues to show up each and every Saturday and quietly put in some good work.
• Beaver not feeling 100% on Saturday morning but he managed to push through it and finish strong
• Slapshot back out there this week after leading the week before.  May not be a fan of the BTW Wall Walk but he knocked it out and kept on powering  through
• Not sure when or from where Donkey Kong arrived.  Handing out the cinder blocks and thinking we only needed 8, until I noticed DK in line.  Not sure when he arrived or from where he came, but he made his presence known all morning
• Floor Slapper had to bail at COT for one of his kids soccer games/practices.   Glad we could keep you from defecting to Day Zero
