21 Pax elected to attend Bagpipe this fine Tuesday morning despite the many obstacles that lay before them. 2 consecutive days of rain, MNF the night before, election day, nagging injuries, a warm bed, you name it. The potential excuses were many, but Area 51 rallied and was many-er…er.
YHC had been waiting to lead a group of Pax that was divisible by 3. Once YHC realized that day had finally come, a faint tingling sensation arrived and quickly erupted into what can only be called F-Threedom. And so it was. Teams of 3 working together to save themselves, and quite possibly, the world. Original workout plan torn asunder, the disclaimer declared, it was time to mos.
The Thang
And mos we did. To the parking lot behind a little place YHC likes to call the “Courtyard Marriott” for some COP.
SSH x 20, IW x 20, Mountain Climbers x 20. That’s enough of that. To Loch Ness.
Catch Us If You Can
Partner A carries Partner B. Partner C performs 7 burpees (7 in honor of 7-0 start by your Carolina Panthers), and then sprints to catch the pair. Partner C then carries Partner A. Partner B performs 7 burpees and then sprints to catch the pair. Partner B then carries Partner C. Partner A performs 7 burpees and then sprints to catch the pair. Repeato around Loch Ness until back to the start. Mary while waiting for 6. Mos to entrance of Snyder’s-Lance parking lot.
Sleigh
Partner A pushes the sleigh (which is Partner B) up the hill on Ballantyne Corporate Place. Partner C performs 10 diamond merkins and then sprints to catch the pair. Partner C then pushes the sleigh (Partner A). Partner B performs 10 diamond merkins and then sprints to catch the pair. Partner B then pushes the sleigh (Partner C). Partner A performs 10 diamond merkins and then sprints to catch the pair. Repeato until team reaches the bridge at the top of the hill. Run back to the start, Mary while waiting for 6.
Anchor
Partner A pulls the anchor (which is Partner B) up the hill on Ballantyne Corporate Place. Partner C performs 10 werkins, and then sprints to catch the pair. You get it. Repeato until team reaches the bridge at top of hill. Run back to the start, Mary while waiting for 6.
Triple Check
Partner A runs around the the Snyder’s-Lance building while partner B holds Al Gore (chair squat) and partner C holds plank. Rotate until all three members have cycled through.
Bear Crawl Merkorama
Bear crawl through Snyder’s-Lance parking lot, stopping at each parking spot line for a merkin. Continue for an eternity.
6 Minutes of Mary
Circle up. Boxcutters x 20. Then the pax took over and called out exercises for roughly 300 seconds. We performed several repetitive motions utilizing gravity and up to four limbs. Each.
Back to the Vine (a ‘Merican kitchen, from what YHC has been told).
Moleskine
Site FNG McGee (recent relo to A51) said “You guys do things weird down here”, and that made my day. Please come back McGee. Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
