Peak 51 First Anniversary

Peak 51 First Anniversary

Celebrity Quote:  “When I’m in the States for a reunion tour to play our 1 song that we are marginally known for, and I’m near Charlotte of the North Carolinas, and it’s a Thursday morning, and I have extra hair product… I ALWAYS post at Peak 51… I’m never “Too, Shy, Shy… Happy 1-Year Anniversary!”  – That guy from Kajagoogoo that is only known for his hair…. not pictured!

There you have it!  An unsolicited celebrity quote from none other than Kaja himself who has been rumored to attend Peak 51!

OK… enough dribble… you’re here for the Back Blast!

8 PAX were on-time and ready to ascend the Peak for a 1st Anniversary-style beatdown delivered by Slim Fast.  Here’s how it went down:

COP
Disclaimed PAX moseyed to bus lot and circled up for some pre-COP stretching…
SSH x 20
IW x 20
More stretching and calf-raises.

Mosey to baseball field
Divided into 2 groups with Geraldo as a “floater”.  Cumulative exercises to 365.
1.  One member of the group runs to the other fence while other team members do squats.  When runner returns, next member runs, and the remaining team members continue to count squats until group reaches cumulative 365… (about 120 each).
2.  Same format for Merkins… 180 first round (about 60 each).
3.  Same format with LBC’s… full 365 (about 120 each).
4.  Same format… finish 180 more Merkins +5 together (about 65 each)… Total 365.

Mosey to wall for people’s chair.  3 times with 65 arm presses.

Mosey back to parking lot.
3x Burpees OYO
20x Flutter
6x Burpees OYO
20x LBC’s
5x Burpees OYO

Finish with some stretching.  Done!

Moleskine:
I’ll start by saying a HUGE thanks to all of the PAX that have made Peak 51 such a great F3 Workout Site over this last year!  This includes all of the leaders that have volunteered to push us a little further each week… but mostly all of the guys that are committed to being there every week they can…. which is just as much leadership as calling the cadence!

I also can’t pass up kudos to Geraldo for his leadership and heart to shepherd a great site with great PAX week after week!  I really appreciate everything you do!

It was great to have Chum post with us… a great veteran PAX and leader.  Awesome to have you, brother!

Also great to have Gummy join us!!  He is leading next week, and is on a bit of IR coming back from some injuries sustained in January.  I know it will be a punishing beatdown next week!

Frosty Paws, Insomniac, Whitesnake…  solid as usual!

Geraldo, despite IR’ing from a spill at Fast Twitch, is still able to Ruck!  Strong!

Sensei as always brought his “A” game.  He and I got 4 miles in for the pre-run… Sensei just keeps getting stronger, and faster!!

Frosty Paws took us out with a strong prayer!

Announcements:
1.  Chum advertised the upcoming Mint Hill launch for Saturday, along with the Monday workout that is already in flight.
2.  Red, Light and Blue Ruck
