After witnessing another chapter (the closing one?) in the Bellicheck/Brady Patriots dynasty in SB XLIX, 6 pax ignored #Cantore and posted for the official launch of #OldTown in Downtown Rock Hill.  Rain did not dissuade the pax or the RH Police Department in a balmy February gloom.  A new legacy begins!

The Thang

Brief warm up COP — SSHx20, Mtn climber x20, IWx12, Windmill x12

Short karaoke up to stop sign and back

Run across Dave Lyle to Cotton Factory, out 1 block down 2 blocks to Black Street, then left back to to hill along train tracks.

Line up in soggy field below track

Run to tracks at top of hill (more like bear crawl at when you reach the “alpine” section), then run down for 4 burpees at the bottom. Rinse and repeat 3x w/ 6, 8 and 10 burps at bottom.  (RHPD patrolling under train tressel as pax finish work)

Run back to town over to City Hall plaza

Three rounds of bunny hops up the stops with run back down and 10 monkey humpers at the bottom each time (RHPD spot lights scanning pax)

Run to parking garage with stops at every intersection for 10 merkins — 50 total along the way (RHPD swapping stories in middle of Main St as pax crank out merkins)

Time to get comfy in the garage…gonna be here a while

Pax take stairs to top, bear crawl across top deck, run down parking ramps, Freddie Ms x20 at bottom
Then run up ramps, bear crawl across top deck, run down stairs, Peter Parker x20 at bottom
Continue cycle until YHC calls a stop — ended up with 5 trips up/down I think
(RHPD out of his car, spooked by pax running down stairs in garage)

Run back home

Naked man moleskin

Thanks to those who posted today…endless reasons to bail on this one…those who posted are true diehards and can understand the enthusiasm for this new AO.  Love this place!  No telling how many more mystery spots remain in the area…we’ve seen many in three trips.  POSH will keep scouting in daylight and surprising us in the gloom.

Pax did a great job keeping the pace throughout.  Not much chance to catch a breath as we stayed on the move, dodging puddles and cops.

YHC failed to post w/the Garmin so no idea how many miles we put in – probably 2.5 – 3.0.

Great words from Jekyll – shift the “I have to” to the “I get to” and let the gratitude flow.
