While YHC cannot speak for the rest of the Pax, the whole idea of Flatline is fairly intimidating. YHC remembers many many months ago, when it was launched thinking “no way I am ever going to that AO.” As we all know, things change. Not only posted, but this morning, YHC had the honor of Qing this fine group of men.

Weather was perfect as the group gathered at 1^st Presbyterian parking lot. At that point, the Pax numbered 8. At 5:30, with no FNGs present, time to move!

THE THANG

Mosey down 2^nd Street to Corpening Plaza, stopping at top of stairs.

SSH x 15, IC

(At this point, Huckleberry joins the Pax!)

Mosey down stairs, across plaza and up the stairs on other side.

Whirly has the Clap x 15, IC

Mosey back to the other side of the plaza.

Copperhead Squats x 12, IC

Mosey back to other side of the plaza.

Overhead claps x 12, IC

Mosey down 1^st Street, turning left on Church. Stop at gated, exclusive parking deck. With a wave of the magic wand, YHC opened the gates and the Pax were admitted!

Mosey to NE corner (?) of 1^st level of parking deck and ascend the stairs up to the 5^th level.

At each NE corner of each level, the Pax would perform 10 reps of the exercise. Once reps done, mosey down one level using the parking ramps (not the stairs) and make your way to the NE corner. Perform 10 reps, and continue this pattern all the way down to the 1^st level.

Thus we began with…..Carolina Dry Docks!

Upon reaching and completing the exercises on the 1^st level, it was time to head back up.

This time, the exercise was ….the plank jack!

Once on the 5^th level, the Pax were overjoyed to learn that the next exercise was …..the LBC!

This time, when on the 1^st level, we took the stairs back up to the 5^th level.

Mosey all the way down to the entrance of the parking structure.

Mosey across Church street and in front of the large tower and back down Main street to Corpening Plaza. At the top of the stairs, perform:

WWII situps x 10 OYO

Mosey to other side of Plaza

NMM

Minimum of 2.54 miles this morning!

Wonderful time with the Pax this morning. Cooler temps, although the humidity was still on!!

Pax seemed to enjoy taking advantage of the cooler temps by heading into a parking deck. #youarewelcome

TCLAPS to the guys in front for circling back to pick up those of us at the back. #pickupthesix

After going for a while without seeing Van Gogh, YHC has had the pleasure of posting with him several times recently. TBH, one of them was at his recent Mayhem Q…which was awful. Who pushes rocks across a parking lot??!!?

Great to see Birdhole again! The first time YHC posted at #Flatline, he was the Q. Hope he enjoys posting with us here in the #DashPax as much as we love having him!

Cheesesteak was his usual self…out front and always in a good mood. Last time YHC saw him was also for a Mayhem Q. He had the Pax jumping over rocks….

Roosevelt was still picking gravel out of his hair from the Brunson parking lot from IS last Saturday.

Another Cherry Pie sighting! YHC has now posted with him three times ever (I think), and two of them have been in the past week!! #trending

Despite the fact that Huckleberry is the proud father of a nearly 2 week old, he continues to post. We almost missed him this morning, but glad he found us!!

Tubbs is visiting from Miami, where he works for the “other” bank in town. Strong work, and make sure to post when you are back up here for business.

First time meeting Turnover. Another young guy (#hate) who was up front. Thanks for pulling/pushing the rest of us. And congrats on the upcoming birth of your child!!
