III Pillars – 04.02.19 – “Mean Hills”

Fearless Site Q, En Fuego, called out YHC on Slack. YHC responded as 4 PAX endured a hill-acious workout at III Pillars this morning.

QIC: Princess Aurora

PAX: Boone’s Farm, En Fuego, Silver Medal

THE THANG:

A quick disclaimer including confirmation of today’s intended destination was followed by a mosey to said destination and a COP at the base of that destination consisting of the following:

  • SSH x 15
  • WMH x 16
  • Imperial Walkers x 15
  • SnL Squats x 15
  • LBAC x 15
  • Seal Claps x 15

With that fluff out of the way, YHC took the PAX to the base of Mount Covenant to explain the oh-so-simple workout. PAX were instructed to run up the hill 15 times individually 30 times as a group.  Should PAX require a running break, they could perform Merkins, Flutter Kicks, or SSH as rest.

A few if not all took at least one Merk break to give the legs a chance to remove some lactic acid, but the hill never ceased to do its share of the work. As PAX finished up their 7th trip, all waited to do one last trip together (2 rep bonus!) with the added fun of a ~50-yard Bernie Sanders about two-thirds of the way up.

Mosey back to SPCA for 60 rep Ring of Fire with both Merkins and Squats followed by Mary:

  • Shoulder Taps x 20
  • Jane Fondas R/L x 20
  • Alabama Prom Dates x 20
  • Plank x 30″

COT/BOM

MOLESKINE:

It is certainly appreciated that any PAX would show up after the obvious forecast of a trip to Mount Covenant. Apparently the one set of hill suicides from the last Q have become the stuff of legend. YHC won’t always spill the beans on future Qs, but rest assured it will be revisited. Strong work out there by all.

BULLHORN:

  • April 13 – Warpath
  • May 4 – The Gauntlet
  • August 23-24 – GrowRuck Atlanta
  • En Fuego’s your 12th Man of the month, so be on the lookout for some communication from him around leadership.

Always a pleasure, gentlemen, and remember: there’s something in these hills.

PA out.
