Where are we?

Squid and I started off the morning taking a little offroad trip over to the block pile in my Ford to pick up 6 blocks for the Pax.  I had a lot planned so I didn’t want to waste time with the Pax having to get their own blocks.  We sat in the car with 5 minutes until launch, with no one in sight.  I was worried it would just be the two of us.  Then the Pax all showed up right before launch, with DK driving like Tony Stewart as he pulled into his parking spot.  I didn’t know a Rav4 had that much power.  Beaver asked if I had the Q, which I responded Yes.  He looked devastated.

Disclaimer given.

COP:

20 SSH with deep stares

20 IW

20 Merkin

The Thang:

Partner up.  1 partner grab a block.  Catch me if you can down Mckee, turn on Knox, then up Spring St to Tilley Morris.  Partner 1 10 merkins while Partner 2 runs with block.  When P1 catches P2, P2 does 20 curls while P1 planks.  Then flapjack until you get to the entrance of neighborhood on Spring St.  Drop your block. Cross over Tilley Morris to the neighborhood across the street.

Mosey to end of road for the fun.

First road. P1 runs around townhomes on the right side, P2 performs merkins until they get back. Flapjack.  Then P1 runs around townhomes on the left side, while P2 does squats. Flapjack.

Second road. P1 runs around townhomes on the right side, P2 performs merkins. Flapjack.  Then P1 runs around townhomes on the left side, while P2 does squats. Flapjack

Third road. P1 runs around townhomes on the right side, P2 performs monkey humpers. Flapjack.  Then P1 runs around townhomes on the left side, while P2 does merkins. Flapjack.

Mosey through the neighborhood to the back entrance of the corporate park.  Circle up for a merkin circle.  5 paces (L/R) then 5 merkins, 4 times.

partners take turns running around the building until each team hits 300 squats.

Then another merkin circle.  5 paces (L/R) then 5 merkins, 6 times.

Mosey back through neighborhood to pick up blocks.  I made the mistake of letting Pax call out exercise of their choosing, with 20 reps of each.  We had Carolina Dry Docks (Huggie), Spinning Jump Squats (Floorslapper), Burpees (Donkey Kong), and Flutter (Joker).  Mosey down to get our blocks.

Catch me if you can back to AO.  This time Partner with block does 20 shoulder press while other partner planks.  Once at AO we had enough time for 50 LBCs.

Moleskin:

Glad everyone made it out.  I wasn’t sure if my plan was going to work, but I think everyone enjoyed it.  The mumble chatter was much appreciated.  I guess payback is a bitch.  Joker claims I made deep eye contact during the COP that made him really uncomfortable and it was if I was looking deep into his soul.  Witch Doctor became the official time keeper because the Q can’t work his GPS watch.  I might need to call Tim cook.  Squid as usual impressed everyone with his perfect curl form, and apparently LBCs aren’t hard enough so he did the side (Suzanne Sommers) crunch.  Show off.  And Huggie was getting bored with the same exercises while we ran around the townhomes, so I granted his wish and called out monkey humpers to throw him off which helped FS found muscles he never knew he had.  Floorslapper kept bragging about his new girlfriend that swam at UNC back in the 50s.  And he made the comment that length is the most important thing in competitive swimming.  I would have thought that would create drag for the men.  Strange.  Joker was completed disoriented when we ended up at the corporate park as if he had been blindfolded and dropped off as part of some fraternity prank.  It blew his mind.  And FS learned why wearing gloves was so important. He was lucky enough to plank walk during our merkin circle through my sweat that had dripped onto the pavement from my head.  Now that is commitment.  Donkey Kong certainly made us pay with his 20 burpees.  Totally a Q fail.  I won’t make that mistake again. Thanks Beaver for sticking with it even though I was the Q.  I wasn’t sure if you were happy or mad when you found out I was leading the workout, but it was too late for you to make it anywhere else.

Announcements:

F3 5 year party March 5.  AYN cookout at 4pm, March 5.  SOB Balrog March 12.

I’m still not exactly sure how we ended up in that corporate park area. And yes, the awkward eye contact was very, well… awkward.

Great job taking us off campus. We’ve been using this site for 4.5 years so it’s good to explore new territory.

Crap, looks like I missed another good at the famous veteran laden Area 51. I did the Yeti instead at the Fort. Legs aren’t happy with decision.

Oh got a “Do you know Joker?” while running the Yeti this AM. Said “Nah, never heard of him.”
