Strange Things are Afoot at Peak 51

Strange Things are Afoot at Peak 51

12 PAX including FNG Witch Doctor (Mike Smith) shunned the air-conditioned comforts of home to experinece a sweat-fest at Peak 51.  Humidity was high, and so was anticipation!  It was noted that Sensei was absent (beach bumming), and then Insomniac was 2-minutes ahead of start time, so YHC knew “Strange Things were Afoot at Peak 51”!!!

After disclaimer, we headed off into the humid gloom for something like this:

We embarked on what YHC terms the “Moving COP”… a circle within many circles… a macrocosm of a microcosms… every man must find his own “circle of pain” and then answer the question… “What are you talking about???”  I digress…

Circle of pain consisted of slow jog/mosey with the following stops:
Stretching
SSH x 20
Merkins x 10
IW x 20
Low Slow Squats x 20
CDD x 15
LBC’s x 20
Wide-arm Merkins x 10

Mosey to baseball bleachers and partner-up:
Partner 1 runs “perimeter” (you happy, Insomniac??) of baseball field, while Partner 2 does the following:  Dips x20, Step-ups x 20 (10 each leg)
When P1 returns, do 10 partner hand-slap merkins, flap jack, rinse and repeat for 2 complete rounds (40 Dips, 40 Step Ups, 40 Hand-slap Merkins)

Next round rinse and repeat, but P2 does Squats x20, Decline Merkins x10, plus 10 hand-slap merkins when P1 comes back.  Flap jack, then rinse and repeat for 2 complete rounds (40 Squats, 20 Derkins, 40 more hand-slap merkins).

Mosey to field behind baseball field:
1.  Partner combined wheel barrow 40-yards and back.
2.  Lunge walk 40-yards, backwards lunge walk back.
3.  Sprint 40-yards, backwards sprint back.
4.  Final sprint 40-yards.

Mosey back to parking lot… DONE!!  Approx. 1.75 miles

Moleskine:
An honor as always to lead this great group of men!  Kilowatt noted that it would be tough going without Sensei, and it was…. but we made it!

Also, Insomniac’s early (aka “on time”) arrival caused us all to pause and wonder what might be afoot… alas it was just sweat!!

Great to have FNG Witch Doctor  (Mike Smith) join us!  Strong work out there… you are always welcome to join us when you can!

Also great to see Whitesnake back out after a brief hiatus, and good to hear the news on your Mom’s recovery!

Insomniac took us out with a prayer.
