Grinding it out at Peak 51

Grinding it out at Peak 51

14 PAX including 3 FNG’s (courtesy of Happy) braved the threat of the greatest flood since THE FLOOD itself… to push themselves at the workout known as Peak 51.  After a heart-felt disclaimer, we proceeded to the FBCM parking lot for something that went approximately like this:

Line of Pain – LOP
Line up on far end of parking lot
SSH x20, then jog to opposite end of parking lot
IW x20, jog to opposite end of parking lot
Merkins x10, jog to opposite end of parking lot
Low-Slow Squat x20, jog to opposite end of parking lot
LBC’s x20, jog to opposite end of parking lot
Peter Parker x20, jog to opposite end of parking lot
Parker Peter x20, jog to opposite end of parking lot
Mountain Climber x20

Split into 3 teams/groups of 4 for a 3-point grinder as follows:
Pax 1:  CDD’s
Pax 2:  Squats
Pax 3:  Merkins
Pax 4:  Runner
Pax do exercise AMRAP until runner arrives.  We did this 4 times around.
Regroup and mosey to school for People’s Chair.  3 rounds of 1-minute People’s Chair, with each PAX calling out arm presses up to 53.  This proved more challenging mentally than physically!

Mosey back to parking lot for some final stretching/cool down… DONE!

Moleskine:
Excellent job out there this morning!  We stayed on the dry pavement because YHC hates to be wet and/or cold… criticize all you want… I’m the Q!

Huge welcome to the men Happy EH’d — Big Data (Jim), Lamont (John), Nomad (Mike)   You guys did AWESOME, and are more than welcome anytime you can come out!

Strong showing by the remainder of the PAX.  We did a lot of reps of a few exercises… namely merkins and CDD’s!  Hopefully that helps you feel buff the rest of the weekend!

Note to self… while trying to include the PAX on counting, sequential counting by 1 appears to be not only a challenge… but rather impossible!  And then, one of the Matthews Elementary teachers unknowingly mocked us by suggesting we count by two’s, five’s, ten’s, or some multiple… to which we responded with incredulous groans.  We demonstrated that we collectively could use some remedial math instruction… I pity our children!!

Extra credit to Booyah and Sensei for 5k pre-run with YHC.  Everyone is welcome to join us!

Smokey took us out in prayer.
