Humidity and Pain today at #Flatline!

QIC:  Bluto

Date:  8/7/18

Jeff Covington (couldn’t make out nickname – from F3 Charlotte), Mutton, TPS, Rust Bucket, Swipe, Root Canal, Thistle, Cheesesteak, Zima, Bluto

We got rolling at 5:30 am sharp.

The PAX got to #picktheirpoison and do SSH, Running with Scissors and/or Mtn Climbers for their “rest move”.  There was no standing around.

We did something approximating the following:

Run to the Hall of Justice lawn for Warm-o-Rama with such offerings as SSH, Arm Circle Thingies, Squats, Abe Vigodas and probably some other stuff.  We did not pause between.

We took a roundabout approach to reach the amphitheater next to First Pres.  En route we did 5 Burpees at each street corner and some Dips on West 4th.

At the amphitheater, at the bottom level, we did 10 each of Irkins, Derkins and Dips, then Broad Jumped to the top and ran down.  Repeato.  Then we did the same (with repeatos) with Squats, Step Ups and Lunges (climbed up), then WWII Situps, American Hammers and Freddie Mercs (did Hopscotch up).

Ran to the big 1st Pres lot and did some Burpees along the way.

Wall work with People’s Chair, then immediately into a 4 stop suicide.  #crowdpleaser

(Did I mention the PAX were doing either SSH, Running with Scissors and/or Mtn Climbers at all times waiting for the 6?)

Ran down 1st St toward the stadium and did 5 Burpees at each street corner.

Found a pile of rocks!  Did 2 sets of 10 each Curls, OH Press, Rows,  Squats and Skull Crushers.

Ran back UP 1st St to the 1st Pres Lot for some Mary – did some LBCs, Mutton Crunches and Penguin Crunches.

Then Merkins, Plank and 6 inches (the latter for what seemed like an eternity).

Done!

The PAX were strong today.  I gotta give a shout-out to the #Respects.  These dudes, including Rust Bucket (pushing 60!),  Root Canal (Beast!), Thistle (much faster than me and I’m 20 years younger!) and Mutton (perhaps our “meanest” Q) are amazing.  Very inspiring and motivate all the PAX.

MC:

Obligatory quips about Zima and his lack of sleeves.
Swipe said something about going straight to work after posting.  Bad idea.
Somebody passed some major gas.  Anyone want to ‘fess up?
Always impressed with Cheesesteak’s beard game.
TPS brings it.

Announcements:

Obstacle Course Race opportunities – see Zima and/or Van Gogh

As always, was a pleasure.  Thanks for the keys, PITA!
