The K is Silent

The K is Silent

The newly created and first official SF for The Charge was proudly planted by Baracus. Special T-claps to Strange Brew, our Canadian brother, for forging the SF.  Thankful there was no Canadian flag or any other maple leaf markings attached thereto.

As GAAP tweeted last week – this AO is one of the best kept secrets in the borderlands between Metro and Area51 (though technically in Area51…along with a handful of Metro AO’s #friendlydig #DMZ).

So 10 humpday fartsack forsakers set out in the gloom for the following downpainment:

Thang:

Jog down to track.  One lap.

COP:

IW x 20 IC

Slow Squat x 20 IC

Rockhopper x 20 IC

H-R Merkin x 20 IC

Jog to goalline for the following:

Lungewalk to 10 yd line – 10 Burpees OYO

Lungewalk to 20 yd line – 20 Flutters IC

Lungewalk to 30 yd line – 30 Jump Squats

Lungewalk to 40 yd line – 40 CDDs

Lungewalk to 50 yd line – 50 LBCs IC

Jog out of the football stadium and over to the baseball field.

YHC had a couple things planned for the diamond, but alas, it is not baseball season at PDS and the field was locked.  Didn’t want to call for the scaling of the 9 foot fence #disclaimersneverstick so we mosed to the road for the following:

Pax grab a rock and we did:

Overhead press x 13 IC, pass rock one pax to left

Squat x 13 IC, rock one pax to left

Bicep curl x 13 IC, rock one pax to left

Tricep extension x 13 IC, rock one pax to left

Jog back to football field

From the goalline, bearcrawl to the 20 yd line — 1 minute plank hold

Lungewalk across field to the other hash marks – 2 minutes of H-R merkins

High knees back to goalline – 3 minutes of plankorama including: Southern Gentleman, Yankee Agressor, Makthar Ndjiaye

Lungewalk to other hash marks

American Hammer x 13 IC

Freddy Mercury x 13 IC

Jog back to launch lot, still few more minutes left

Protractor for 2-3 minutes

CCV x 13 IC R; flapjack for 13 IC L

SSH x 20 IC

COT

Ye Olde Moleskine:

Story of the morning was our FNG Knugent – Mike K.  He arrived after we finished our lap and were just circling up for COP.  YHC introduced myself, shook his hand and asked who EH’d him.  He had been told about it by some pax who post in Metro, but he found The Charge via the website.  He also said he read the disclaimer and some of the lexicon.  Who does that?

The K in his last name is silent, as is the K in his nickname.  Mike’s originally from Detroit.  Come back Knugent – hope to see you in the gloom again soon.

A bit of a Q fail on thinking the baseball field would be available….and Baracus (unofficial site Q or official with John Deere and Double Ds) said it would be.  Come on man.

The pax brought great effort.  T-claps to Mr. Brady for running in.

Couple other brief observations:

John Deere is freakishly fast on bearcrawls; however, his choice in selecting rocks for lifting is questionable.  He chose a monstrous chunk.  YHC bailed him out a bit by rotating the rocks to the left.  Crypto drew the shortest straw by earning the boulder for the tricep extensions.

Always a privelege to Q the pax and The Charge is an awesome AO.  If I ever stop my nomadic ways on Wednesdays, The Charge will be one of my normal haunts.

Thanks to Simba for the takeout in COT.
