Centurion: Augean Series Week 2 of 8

Centurion: Augean Series Week 2 of 8

23 men, including the QIC posted to Centurion for some work in week 2 of 8 of the Augean Series. Utah rode with YHC and immediately noticed the pick ax next to Paper Jam’s car as we pulled in.  He,  of course, wondered if it would be used in the workout.  Not in the weinke.  YHC surmised that it was a loaner tool to be returned to the owner.  That was the case, however, 777 did not post to pick it up.  Thorough disclaimer given to our PAX who ranged in age from 16 to 55.  Off we went.

Not sure why, but co-site Q Margo requested some Redemption Loops this week.  HOF retired site-Q Chelms not so hip on the Loops.  He did them without complaint.  Fairly certain he only left early once today on the last of the Plank start sprints after YHC gave the instruction to go directly into the next Loop.  Speaking of sprints, Tagalong showing some serious fast twitch, as well as, the 3 sub-20 young men: Drago, Rapper’s Delight, and Nemo.  BTW, Drago was a good 13 minutes late.  Also, Snowflake was crushing the sprints.  Ickey, of course, threw in some blazing sprints. The youngsters, Bout Time, and Brilleaux were hanging in the front with YHC on the Redemption Loops.  Chelms was not far behind.  Udder threw in a good loop on number 2.  Hannibal, Prohibition, Margo all solid work.  6 respects posted and crushed it.  Well done all.

Ickey schooled the PAX with his preblast comment regarding the origin of Augean.  Indeed, it is a reference to the Augean stables.  Hercules, in one of his trials, had to complete the cleaning of said stables, which held 300 oxen for 30 years, with no custodian.  So, yes, a load of crap can be referenced with the use of the word.  The load of crap is related to the “sometimes distasteful” part of the definition, in my interpretation.  The use of the word for this series, however, puts a focus on the first part of the definition: “extremely formidable or difficult.”  Staying with the Roman theme here at Centurion.  Either way, hopeful the PAX did not equate the workout to the latter part of the definition, in favor of the former.

Prohibition posted again.  Fast Twitch, Anvil, Centurion.  Great to have him back out in the gloom.

PAPER JAM RODE THE ELEVATOR FROM GROUND TO LEVEL 4.  DURING THE WORKOUT.

Grateful to lead the Centurion PAX this morning.  T-claps to Paper Jam for the takeout prayer.  Get after it today men.
