19 men showed up and 777 was able to find us after we set out. 6:00 came and off we went. Mosey down to the parking lot next to the pond for a quick warm up. Disclaimer was given and we got to it.
Warm Up: IW x 10; Merkins x 10; Off set left hand merkin x 10; Off set right hand merkin x 10.
The instruction was to count off by threes then gather at a particular place with your number. Counting proved to be difficult for this group and even harder to gather. Somehow we wound up with five in group one and ten and group 3.
We moseyed down to the pond for instructions. Three sets of exercises three times then run around the pond as a group back to the starting point. The first three exercises were nipplers, step ups, merkins. Once back at the starting point we moseyed over to the next building for another round. We did this all of the way around the pond for a total of four stops. The next station was reverse crunch, diamond merkins and mountain climber. The next stop at the picnic tables was dips, incline merkin, decline merkin. Mosey to the next stop which was the fitness trail. Dips on the bar, pull ups and American Hammers.
Mosey to the base of the Lance building. 7s were called. LBC at the bottom and flutter at the top. There are two entrances to the Lance building so we stopped at each entrance up and down and did five merkins each time. If my math is right we did 120 merkins in that time. Time to head back to the AO.
We got in with four minutes to spare. We did plank, elbow plank, dolly and flutter. Done. Thanks Wild Turkey for keeping time since I was irresponsible.
Moleskin: So during the disclaimer five youth popped out of the woods looking disheveled. They muttered something indistinguishably. It was an odd moment. I had been out till 1:00am with the Panther’s game. Was running a little slow and probably did not say what I was thinking all of the time. #Betternexttime. Kid Rock and Fire Hazard were flying out there. Everyone else worked hard. It was nice having some of the Area 51 guys there who needed an earlier work out. All are welcome.
Thanks for the take out Big Tuna.
Announcements: Several convergences coming up. One on the 13th in Fort Mill and the 14th at Anvil at 5:15am for the five year anniversary of Area 51.
Good luck and prayers for Loogie’s surgery coming up on September 8th.
