39 and Counting

39 and Counting

10 PAX made their way to McKee Rd Elementary on Saturday for another weekly episode of Area 51.  SF was planted as we waited for the clock to strike 0700 hours.  Nice cool morning as we headed over to the lower parking lot by the soccer fields for a warm-up lap with high knees and butt kickers before we circled up for COP:

• SSH x 25 IC
• IW x 25 IC
• Low Slow Squat x 20 IC
• MC x 25 IC
• Peter Parker x 25 IC

Lots of mumble chatter during COP as PAX paid their respects to Ocho Cinco as he was celebrating his last day before moving up from the “hate” weight class.  No birthday burpees handed out (mainly because YHC just didn’t feel like completing any burpees this week), but lots of discussion of Ocho reaching the BIG 40 and how it was all downhill from here.  Pretty mature group (as far as age is concerned) as Ocho was War Baby at “39”.

Led the PAX over to the cinder block pile and everyone took a coupon.  Headed out to the center light pole for a little starfish work.

• At center light pole, complete 10 block curls, 10 block presses, 10 block squats
• Drop block and run to 1st light pole for 20 merkins
• Back to middle for 10 curls, 10 presses,10 squats

COT

NMM:

• Lot of mumble chatter at the start as Lobster Roll, Slapshot, and Joker made sure to give Ocho a little grief on the eve of turning 40.  Didn’t seem to bother Ocho too much as he was up front for most of the work-out along with Joker, Cold Cuts, and Lobster Roll.
• Wanted to incorporate the cinder blocks into the work during the Starfish, but didn’t want to have to have the PAX toting blocks from light pole to light pole.  Keeping them in the middle seemed to work pretty well.
• Suicides seemed easy enough as we completed round 1.  Adding the ladder for rounds 2-4 seemed to ratchet up the effort a bit.
• Been a while since YHC attended a work-out where everyone (well, just about everyone as technically Ocho was still in the “hate” decade) is 40 and above.  Everyone was working hard for the full 60

Announcements:

• Mud Run sign-ups for few more days.  3/31 is deadline.  Couple Area 51 teams looking for a 4th to fill out the teams.
• 1st Saturday of the month, Joker is leading a work-out in the afternoon with the kids from Alexander Youth Network.  Next scheduled work-out is Saturday, 4/4.  Let Joker, Shawn.Heath@duke-energy.com,  know if you have any interest in helping out.
• F3 Golf at Olde Sycamore scheduled for 4/30/15.  http://f3nation.com/2015/02/04/the-2nd-annual-f3-golf-classic/
