The Moving Triple Nickel a/k/a The Iron Lotus

18 of Area 51’s finest escaped the fartsack for a run around the CCHS environs this morning.

The Thang:

Run to the shopping center at Carmel and 51 and circle up for COP:

• SSH x 26  IC
• IW x 11 IC
• LSS x 16 IC
• Merkins x 15 IC – hold 6″ with 10 count from Mermaid
• Mountain Climbers x 21 IC

Shopping center circuit:

• 5 burpees at the bottom of the left staircase
• Run upstairs to the middle of the balcony
• 10 derkins on the railing in the middle of the second level
• Run the right staircase for 20 LBCs
• Repeato x 3 for 4 total circuits.

Run along 51 to the picnic tables outside of the CCHS cafeteria for some partner work:

• P1 planks while P2 performs 20 dips with legs on P1’s back. Flapjack.
• P1 planks on P2’s feet while P2 performs 20 old school sit-ups. Flapjack.

Run to Tartarus for the Moving Triple Nickel. The PAX count off in groups of 3. Group 1 heads to the leftmost staircase, Group 2 heads to the middle staircase and Group 3 to the rightmost staircase. Do 5 burpees, run up the stairs to the top and do 5 jump squats. Groups 2 and 3 run across the top of the deck to the Group 1 and 2 staircases, then descend. Group 1 runs down its staircase and shifts over to the base of the Group 3 staircase. Each group performs 5 burpees, ascends the stairs and does 5 jump squats, shift stairs and down. Repeat for 5 total circuits.

Almost time, so mosey back to the launch point for some Mary:

• Dollies x 20 IC
• Heels to Heaven x 20 IC
• Russian Twist (aka American Hammer) x 15 IC
• LBCs x 26 IC
• Done

Moleskine:

YHC tried to come up with something a little different with the “Moving Triple Nickel.” The idea was to keep the PAX moving and keep the stairs clear so there weren’t any head-on collisions. Unfortunately, with the combination of Q adrenaline and being out of breath, YHC didn’t do a very good job of explaining. Next time, I’ll take Chelms’ sage advice and plank everyone up for the instructions. #cobains #HarderThanTheIronLotus

YHC tried to avoid his mistake from Rebel Yell and use his iPhone to record the names of the PAX. Unfortunately, there was a user error and the names didn’t record. I got 16 names (one better than yesterday!), but am missing one. Sound off in the comments and I’ll update. #cobainsagain [Added Gerber above. Thanks, Chelms, for the reminder!]

YHC has been posting off and on at Centurion for a while now, but this was my first Q. Hopefully, it won’t be my last! Thanks to Chelms and Margo for the opportunity to lead this morning. And thanks to the PAX for the patience with my attempt at some originality.

Welcome to Bolt, visiting us from Davis Lake. He went to college with Utah and decided to check out what we had to offer. He was pushing hard the whole time. I hope to see you back out there soon!

Announcements:

• Hard launch of Da Vinci tomorrow at Blakeney Shopping Center at 7AM. Site Qs are Tuck and Mic Check, so you know it will be good. Double down with a post at Stonehenge at 6AM, which will let out at 6:45 to allow time to make it to Blakeney. Fire Hazard is your Stonehenge Q.
• Centurion needs Qs after March. If you post regularly, please sign up to lead. See Margo to get on the schedule. Trust me, the PAX are very forgiving when things don’t go exactly right.
• Chelms is trying to conceive and organize a Centurion service project. Please see him for details.
• Some cars were broken into at the Rock last weekend. Please keep your valuables out of sight while working out and consider bringing only your license to workouts. Also be careful where you hide your keys.
