Scofflaws

12 men, including 1 FNG started their Saturday way too early in the morning for my liking.  5:58 and PAX were given 2 disclaimers.

Disclaimer #1:  I think leaving early to double down at another AO is blasphemous.  So if anyone plans on it, the rest of the PAX is getting upgraded punishment.  Oops – General is Qing DaVinci

Disclaimer #2: Standard, if you die you can’t sue anyone stuff.

6:00 and we were off.

Head to intersection of Johnston and B’tyne Commons.  Low Slow Squats while we wait for the traffic light.  Seriously?  6AM on a Saturday in the summer?  Where are you people going?

Continue east down B’Tyne Commons.  This is when Wild Turkey pipes in:

WT:  You do know all the Premier Decks are off limits, right?

Me:  Which ones are Premier?

WT:  I think all of them.

Me:  Well, too late now, the weinke is already done.  Pretty sure its against policy to change it 5 minutes into a workout.

Cut into the office complex through some bushes, some of them roses.  Clearly I don’t know where I am.  Circle up in front of a couple of parking decks for IW, Merkins, Mountain Climbers and Plank-o-Rama.

1st Deck:  20 Merkins at bottom, Up stairs, 20 Merkins at top, down stairs, 20 merkins at bottom, up ramps, 20 merkins at top, down ramps.  Glute Bridge’s while we wait on the six.

Mosey down walking path (not a golf cart path).  Stop for 30 dips on bench.

Hit another set of parking decks, wander until we find stairwell.  Locked.  Audible.

2nd Deck:  20 Romanian Dead Lifts (10 each leg), run up ramps, 20 RDL’s at top.  Open unlocked stairwell at the top, run down and back up, 20 RDL’s, run down ramps, 20 RDL’s at bottom. Plank-o-rama while the six finishes.

3rd Deck:  Whoa, General rolls out (without even a goodbye) audible out of plan and go with Burpees.  15 at bottom, run up ramps, 15 at top, down ramps, 15 at bottom.  Lunge walk up the ramp while we wait on six.  I didn’t feel like wandering around to find the stairs on this one.

Head back down walking trail and stop for 30 dips on bench.  LBC’s to gather the PAX.

Head back to Deck 1.  2 quick trips up and down the stair case.  Flutters at the end.

Back to B’Tyne Commons.  AYG to Johnston, a third of a mile-ish.  Wait forever on traffic light.  Listen to Tiger Rag nag about how we are now 30 seconds over time.  Bolt across Johnston and the marginally aggressive morning drivers.

Back to launch 2:30 late.  Sorry, but I am sure you appreciated the extra stair climbs that put us over time.  And traffic is unpredictable.

Moleskine:

Thin Mint is fast.  And he smiles a lot while he runs past you.  Very Fraiser-esque of him.  Now he needs the swish-swish shorts.  The General was all moving quickly as well, but I guess you can put in a little extra effort when you are only doing half the workout.  Probably just broke out the yoga mat’s at DaVinci and talked about their feelings.  Fault Line claimed I was giving him Plantar Fasciitis with all the stairs.  Probably not good for your BRR teammate.  Lot’s of guys gutting it out and giving it all they had this morning.  I appreciate the effort.

After the last deck a white OJ Simpson style SUV passed by.  Wild Turkey claimed it was Security.  We acted cool.  Nothing to see here.  They moved on, as they should have.

Thanks to TR for the take out.

Announcements:  Golf, next April.  Pool Party in 2 hours.  Curd still needs a runner for BRR.
