Subterranean

Subterranean

21 degrees was the forecast for this Saturday’s edition of Stonehenge; so 9 of us decided the best course of action was to hightail it to the Ballantyne Village parking deck’s lower level. Little did they know that YHC left a surprise.

Quick disclaimer before we began. Then a quick summary of our travel intentions. Right before we were off, I realized that I left my notes in Heartbreakers car. Before I could retrieve it, the group had begun the quick mosey up the hill to the warmer confines of BV subterranean parking. Heartbreaker and I gave chase.

We reached the bottom and circled up:
SSH x 30
Squat x 30
Merkin x 15
LBC x 30
Mtn Climber x 30
10 Burpees
Heals to Heaven x 30

Log run / concrete column weaver relay:
Break into 3 teams of 3 and grab a cedar log from my truck bed. We will relay race and weave between the columns (there were conveniently 3 columns) – approximately 75 yards and maybe 10-12 columns. Catch is that the runner will shoulder the log while running down and back.
– 1st race – run forward. The winner was the team of Fire Hazard, Wild Turkey, and Commish.
– We all do random exercises with winner the easiest and lowest reps.
– 2nd race – run backwards with said log. Winner again was Fire Hazard, Wild Turkey, and Commish.
– We all do more random exercises.
– 3rd race – Carioca with log. Winning team was Mighty Mite, Heartbreaker, and Strawberry
– We all do more random exercises.

Mosey to hill for 7’s – squats at the top; merkins bottom.

Run a few fellowship loops while YHC bounces ideas off Wild Turkey and figures out what to do next.

Grab a few bricks and find a spot on the wall for people’s chair.
– Hold the bricks out front for a Pax led 10 count. Raise the bricks for air raises x 30
– Hold the bricks out front for a Pax led 10 count. Raise the bricks for air raises x 25
– Hold the bricks out front for a Pax led 10 count. Raise the bricks for air raises x 20
– Hold the bricks out front for a Pax led 10 count. Raise the bricks for air raises x 15
– Hold the bricks out front for a Pax led 10 count. Raise the bricks for air raises x 10
– Hold the bricks out front for a Pax led 10 count. Raise the bricks for air raises x 5

Run up each level to the top; meet up at the bottom of the stairs/ground level; and quickly back to the AO almost right on time.

Notations:
– The surprise was that I dropped my truck off at the bottom deck level. My bed was full of some of my coupons: cedar logs and brick pavers.
– Wild Turkey and Heartbreaker were doubling down here and then a 5k at the Jingle Bell 5K. They weren’t holding back at all either.
– Heartbreaker is pretty fast forward; but backward…is…another…story…….. That’s OK because (see below)
– Fire Hazard went astray on the last relay race and opened the door for an upset. Always the overachiever! This time it backfired.
– In Heartbreaker’s defense, I had already tried to get us kicked out by hitting the log against anything breakable.
– It’s insane the temperature difference in the lower deck area. That parking deck is a gem for the SOB’s.
