As most Gaston Pax know YHC likes to name landmarks at AOs to encourage and build the legendary status of the AO and the region. Mt. Hollywood has the famous hill YHC and pax have named K2 because like it’s namesake in the Himalayan Mountains it is high and it is steep, the real K2 being second only to Everest and from what I am told a tougher climb. So with that in mind as the pax gathered today in the gloom it was pre planned that K2 would figure into the mix heavily today. Went like this:

*COP:

Arm and upper body stretching

SSH X 20

IW X 20

Plank, Hand to palm stretches

Nolan Ryans X 10 each side

Mountain climbers X 20

Mosey to the bottom of K2. Not absolute bottom but close to it for triple nickel. Run to the first street that comes into the path which is the steepest part and the longest climb.

Bottom: 5 plank jacks

Top: 5 jump squats

Pretty tough triple nickle – Varsity Version! And a time suck.

Mosey to the BB&T, make one stop:

10 merkins

10 squats

10 big boy situps.

Mosey to the back of the bank.

11s as follows:

American Hammers

Mike Tysons

After that is done a People’s Chair:

20 airpresses

Rugby sprints

Set 1 ; do sprints, 10 SSH

Set 2, do sprints, back in People’s Chair, 20 Muhammed Alis

Mosey back to COT and AO site.

NMM:

Pretty tough pull today, pax did great work. K2 triple nickel set the tone!

First day of fall, great clear and dry morning for the most part. Mindful of other pax today per Tiger’s prayer list, Tiger’s dad and others. Keep them in your prayers if you would.

Great to lead today, Hope everyone got what they wanted. K2 sucked. That was the intent. Mission accomplished and we are all better men for it.
