Bermuda Triangle with Pavers Sucks
15 PAX made sure to finish FY16 strong
The Thang:
SSH X20 and Mountain Climbers X20
Grab 2 pavers and jog over to Palatine Hill for the Bermuda Triangle. Run up Palatine Hill and do 5 squats, run around office building and do 5 push presses, run down to end of drive and do 5 jumping lunges (two movements = 1count). Increase the exercises by 5 each lap completing 25 of each exercise on the 5th circuit. Mary until the 6 comes in #sucked
Jog pack to parking lot in front of Amelies for Man Maker Merkins x10 and then back to CCHS parking deck for some partner work. Partner 1 runs to end of deck and back while partner 1 does called exercise until partner 1 returns and then switch. Curls, Peoples Chair, and Mary for 3 rounds.
Jog up the ramps to level 4 and then down stairs and back to launch point.

Surviving the Bermuda Triangle is hard enough without pavers. With pavers it just sucked. Everyone pushed hard this am but Rachel and Swiper were way out front #hates. YHC going to check the video tape to make sure their counts on the jumping lunges were correct (2 movements = 1). Next time I’ll remember to assign partners to even the odds (i.e. Rachel will be my partner)
Hairball and Cauliflower were so elated after VT comeback last night that they couldn’t sleep and had to come out to Centurion #bestArea51Fridayworkout. Strong work after night on the town.
Toolbox brought out his friend from Clemson so we named him Screw Driver (didn’t ask if he likes Vodka). Not an easy workout to cut your teeth but he pushed hard.
This crew was younger than normal with most under 40 and Drago and Bestie not even 20. Average age of under 35 I suspect versus normally in the mid 40’s. I’m rarely the WD here but all the really old guys must have been resting up for tomorrow night.
Swiper took us out with prayer.
As always, it was an honor to lead such an awesome group. I am thankful for the men that show up every week at Centurion.
Announcements
I could not find posting of an Area 51 New Years convergence but Metro Convergence at AG Middle School on January 2 at 7 am –Metro New Year Convergence This will probably be HUUUGGGGEEE so I suggest making it.

No pax list? I think I was the last one to arrive, yet 5 or 6 pax were hunkered down in their cars….not that cold. Hairball was decked out in his Hokie garb – did you even change after the Belk Bowl victory? Bout Time & Hannibal ran in, but I know Hannibal wanted a ride home…missed a great coffeteria brother. Abba met Abby today. It’s fun to say…go ahead, say it.
Swiper toned down the sarcasm and mumblechatter a bit, but not entirely.
Hadn’t posted in 10 days, but carrying pavers for 3 miles is unsavory regardless.
Happy New Year fellas.
Truth be told, coffee would have been WAY better than running those 3 miles home. Especially since I think I tweaked my ITB on Palentine Hill. May be done on that thing. Had planned on running out with Bout Time, but I looked up and he was running away. Hmm… Those pavers were awful, and 45 minutes of them, especially for the little folks. Weight to paver ratio was much lower. Guess we got a better workout?
All said, great Q Chelms. Good to be with the PAX this morning. Abby, welcome back – good partnering with you. You haven’t missed a beat. Amazed to see Hairball, and congrats on the W (presumably without the opponent’s playbook). Hops, glad I could let you in on the Peoria Airport secrets, even if they’re not pure.
Happy New Year to all – see you in 2017.
