Can I get my change back?

Can I get my change back?

13 ventured out into the unknown to start their Saturday out right with a prescribed dose of downpainment at Stonehenge. YHC rolled up on two wheels exited, stashed the keys, called 30 seconds all in one seamless motion and then promptly disclaimed the PAX and our FNG. One late arrival flying in on the scene we headed out to participate in Strava’s new craze, Strava route art. Unbenounced to the pax we were attempting to make a cow but the mapping and guidance of YHC didn’t vibe. Desired result -> https://www.strava.com/routes/7932287 With a mile under our belts we stopped behind the Stone Mtn Grille for a little COP.

COP: Exercises in cadence as follows:
Side Straddle Hop x 20
Imperial Walkers x 20
Mountain Climbers x 20
Merkins x 20
Windmill x 20 #wheelhouse

All warmed up we head off to the deck at Ballantyne Village. YHC got to talk quickly with our FNG Rob and learn of his 2 kids and how his EH fart sacked this morning. Dudes got stones to come out on his own. T-Claps. Meet at the bottom (basement) of the deck and survey our terrain for a min while leading a little plank-o-rama.

The Thang: Triple Nickels on all ramps, followed by some wait on the six exercises and then a trip up and back down the nearest staircase.

Ramp 1
5 Merkins Bottom, Run ramp, 5 Wide Arm Merkins Top
Peoples Chair with 50 air presses while waiting on the six.

Everyone grab your gear and mosey up the ramp and out the townhomes neighborhood with a whisperchatter. Crossed Ballantyne Commons and headed the long way back to The Vine. Finished with 4.4 miles, some say they got 4.7 or 5.

NMM: Good work by all and very impressed with our FNG. He will be a force to be reckoned with asap. For all you counting the Pushup/Pullup challenge we did 120 Merkins officially. 170 if you count CCD and Burpees, 195 if you got 1 round after Ramp 4 and 220 if you got 2 rounds after Ramp 4. Some were busting them out just whenever. I see you General, Madame and Cheddar. Madame just couldn’t seem to grasp the Triple Nickel concept. Some things you just can’t fix. I’ll schedule a time for you and Mermaid to talk about the mechanics of it. Strong work out there by all. YHC had a loose idea of what I wanted to do and like always the pax did not disappoint in effort and grit. T-Claps all around. Always nice to break up the consistency of 45 min workouts with a 60 min one. Thanks for having me out WT and JRR. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. We wound up 5 more strong when Brat, Fraiser, Bunker and Thin Mint appeared out of nowhere post 9 or 10 miler. Strong work you freaks. And of course no Saturday morning would be complete without a Frehley’c Comet streaking by, in jeans nonetheless. He was waiting on the Wall Building crew and during Name-o-rama found out he lives across the street from our FNG. #smallworld
With 18 in tow Lex Luthor took us out. Thanks brother and good luck with the F3 Heavy Heavy Goruck challenge 4/6-4/7 #bonkers #farewelltour #swansong
