The Thang

Joker Q – Ran 2.25 miles, with 150 squats, 75 merkins, 35 SSH and 35 Imperial Walkers thrown in along the way.

Pop Tart Q – Did the “Super 21” as follows, 1 merkin followed by 1 sit up, followed by 1 “Popping Tart” on each leg; then 2 merkins / 2 sit-ups/ 2 PTs… you get the idea… all the way up to 21.  Sum of 231 merkins, 231 sit-ups, 231 Popping Tarts on each leg.

Mosey back to parking lot to finish the last 5 minutes with some alternating toe touches.  We had 1 minute remaining, and Pop Tart made the mistake of throwing the Q back to Joker, who finished off the workout with 15 burpees.

Moleskin

In an effort to deliver a balanced workout, YHC and Pop Tart took things to the extreme, with lots of running in the first 30 minutes and a 0.0 Meathead format for the second 30 minutes.

Pop Tart was determined to reach 21 this time around.  During his last Q the Pax only made it to 15 since there wasn’t enough recovery time built into the format.  This is what led to the introduction of the Popping Tart, which involves lying on the ground with one leg out straight, while the other foot is flat on the ground.  Lift your hips and extended leg up to work the thigh and hips of the leg that is bent.

Now, on to the hazing…

Great to see Stone Cold and The Shore back at Area 51.  In the early days when Area 51 was the only option on Saturdays I saw them every week. The Shore is still the toughest pediatrician this side of Jersey, and Stone Cold looks pretty tough himself rolling down the road in his rugged Jeep.

Donkey Kong was looking good the first half of the workout, then he vanished. No sightings of DK getting in his car, so it was a stealth departure.  DK continues to live up to his mysterious ways.

Slap Shot was looking especially strong during the running.  Must be something about the Hockey playoffs that brings out his A-game.

Great to see The Tickler back at Area 51… after moving down to Greenville a couple of years ago.  Wish I could remember why we nicknamed him The Tickler, but maybe some things are best not remembered.
