Raise your hand if you have been here before?

Raise your hand if you have been here before?

I did not ask that question, but if I had only one other hand would have gone up, that of Freedom (A51’s favorite motorcycle riding, chimp head KB swinging Worship pastor).   It was a small crew of 6, well actually 5 for the first 10 minutes, but that was perfect for the special Ops that were planned.  What we lacked in AO awareness we made up for in our GPM Sweat index (Gallon per man).

This is what went down:

At 5:30 a thorough disclaimer was given and then we headed out for a traveling COP.

Leave Parking Lot, Right on Trade St. Cut behind the Kangaroo station, and do SSHx20 in the back lot.

Then, Right on E. John St. Pause at the Apartments on Park Square Pl for 20 IW, then cut back towards the AO.  When we arrive back in the lower lot 20 x Squats.

7’s on the hill with merkins at Bottom and Plank Jacks at top…Explanations and demonstrations galore.  Flutter to Gather the pax.

Now, 6 strong, we headed to the benches by the entrance to Matthews playhouse for a circuit of:

• 10 x Derkins
• 15 x Squats Dips
• 20 x step ups

Repeato.

Back to the cars for a swig of water.

head to the playground in the middle of the track for 3 rounds of:

• 5 x Pullups
• 10 x merkins
• Run a lap

Head to the Wall for Peoples chair (regular, frankenstein, RLeg up, LLeg up) and BTW.

Back to launch to run gassers until finished.

total Mileage = 2.3 miles.

-Welcome to Booyah…Eh’d by the twitterverse, works at ESPN, hence the Stuart Scott reference.  Great work out there, I hope to see you again soon, as you said our love handles aren’t going to fall off on their own, and you owe us a few Merkins.  He mentioned he is going to try to make it to Ascent and Base Camp so look for him.

-Jailbreak did great in his second post.  Keep it up brother!  I will say that Jailbreak did temporarily forgot his name in the COT and called himself Jailbait.  I felt bad thinking I had been calling him by the wrong name all morning…Nope, not my mistake, his.  We considered a name change.

-T-Claps to Freedom for running in and helping set the pace all morning.

-Grapejuice and Body bag had never been to Peak 51, but they were leading the way almost all morning.  Good 2nd F on the beginning run with Grapejuice who recently moved from Metro to A51.

-It was during flutters in the lower lot that Body bag pulled in and almost ran us over.  He apparently showed up after launch and had no idea where we were, but his persistence paid off.

-I had the idea for the traveling COP when I was at that kangaroo station last night trying to buy my kids Roo cups after a dive meet.  They only had one left, that is 4 too few, had to travel all the way back to independence.  I considered running there, but if I had my heart set on SSH in a Kangaroo lot, this seemed like the better choice).
