Stonehenge: The Downfall of Democracy

Stonehenge: The Downfall of Democracy

Well democracy is one of the things that makes this country great. Democracy consists of four key elements: (a) A political system for choosing and replacing the government through free and fair elections (b) The active participation of the people, as citizens, in politics and civic life; (c) Protection of the human rights of all citizens, and (d) A rule of law, in which the laws and procedures apply equally to all citizens. More to come on how this may be appropriate for a country, but not a group of ruthless, sweaty brutes.

Thanks to Nard Dog for organizing the pre-run, who in turn opted out of the pre-run. Tiger Rag set a blazing 7min pace for a muggy 2.5. We returned back to the launch point to 12 glum faces…make that 14 as Frehley’s and Cul-de-sac rolled in with the beautiful park job parking on the center of the line #compactspace(s). YHC gave a quick disclaimer as Cheddar ran up and 17 took to the asphalt up towards the Bull Ring.

Warm-Up

• 25 SSH
• 25 Mountain Climbers, aggressive count as described by Mr. Bean and Frehley’s
• 10 Merkins
• 10 Old Man, Slow Count, Gipper Windmills

The Thang-a-lang

Mosey up to the bull-ring

• Full lap around the bull ring stopping for called exercises at every opening, decreasing count at each:
  • Lap 1 – Regular Merkins, Diamond Merkins, Wide-Arm Merkins (10reps, 8reps, 6reps,4reps, 2reps)
  • Lap 2 – Burpees (10reps, 8reps, 6reps, 4reps, 2reps)
  • Lap 3 – Dips (20reps, 16reps, 12reps, 8reps, 4reps)
    • YHC felt the wind from the freight train of Tagalong, Shirtless Haggis and Tiger Rag blowing by on every lap. Strong work fellas

Mosey back down towards the fitness trail stopping on the way for:

• Pistol Crunch (Left Leg x10, Right Leg x10)
• Freddie Mercury (x20)

At the fitness trail break into partners and into 2 different groups:

Group 1:

• P1 (5 negatives – pull-ups), P2 help P1 if they need it (flapjack x2)

Group 2:

• P1 (5 negatives – dips), P2 help P1 if they need it (flapjack x2)
• Groups 1 & 2 flapjack

Back up the hill towards the parking lot outside of Loch Ness for:

• Flutters x10, aka gassers as the rancid farts began seeping out of the PAX. there was one that I could taste…ketchup and onions….
• Box Cutters x10

Mosey over to Stone Mountain Grill….and this is where democracy failed

• 17 PAX lined up along the wall and were given the autonomy as we went down the line to pick an exercise of their choosing. All I can say is that I am glad we only had 15 for this as Haggis and Tiger Rag modified for extra miles. A very interesting assortment of exercises, everything from the traditional wall sit to thundering donkey kicks that probably knocked down all of the shelving in Stone Mountain and crowd pleasing Crab Walks.
• Whatdoyou know, there goes the time…JAILBREAK back to COT
• OUTBACK with the takeout and Frasier with the Coffeeteria appearance

Moleskin

Solid group this morning, YHC was glad to have a Saturday free from baby duty to hit Stonehenge and the best coffeeteria around. Thanks for the invite Nard Dog and Wild Turkey and for watching the six (ND). 3.3 miles covered this morning in a fairly tight group, great work pushing yourselves to chase the man in front of you. Camaraderie is one of the underrated things about F3 and it was strong this morning. Dwayne Wade may have looked like a Haitain drug lord at the NBA game last night in his getup but definitely takes a back seat to the side boob tattered beater that Fireman Ed was sporting at COT. Enjoyed it fellas!
