YHC was scrambling to make it a short 2 miles from Uptown to Punch Bowl (Suffolk Punch) for the 5:45PM Q. I was planning a Superman like appearance. Park my whip, hide behind the trunk, drop the suit and put on my workout gear.
I made it with 30 seconds to spare. The I ran right into the AO to launch the pax in a +3 mile jaunt. I wasn’t taking it easy.
BRR is less than 2 weeks. It’s on. Down the light rail, turning right onto remount which turns into Iverson Way. Down Iverson to the bottom of the hill.
Suicides back up to South BLvD. stopping at each cross street for 5 merkins. Back down to the bottom for 5 more merkins. Up to the next cross road. Rinse and repeat until you hit South, ending at the bottom.
That sucked both physically and the time.
I found out that Simon had to be back at 6:15 PM. Damn. Ok. Here’s the deal. We’ll make it but we’re taking a short cut.
Charlotte Water Works has the whole area torn up (for the last 2 years). Let’s cut through their rugged trail and see what we find. We found mounds of dirt that we climbed over, crossed a bridge that was lost forever until CWW dug it up, ran through 5 feet tall grass, crushed LBCs in hay (weird). And ran back to South.
I was letting the pax know that this route was for Simon. He found it important enough to workout with us as long as he could be back at 6:15, that’s what we were going to do.
We had a minute to get Simon to his car. AYG behind Simon. Because if Simon was dragging ass, then why rush. We’ll Simon put on the burners and made it back. Solid.
We spent the next 15 minutes on the light rail. I led the px proudly in a round of dips and derkins from 12 & 10 down to zero. We had to let the civilians know we were there.
After that burn we made it back to the AO for COT and prayers.
The after action report: workout sucked but damn WhatDid can Q (my words).
IF YOU HAVENT BEEN TO PUNCH BOWL - GET THERE. Strong group of men.
YHC - WhatDid
