At least 4 PAX took on ‘The Pine’ on a warm (43 F) January morning. There was also promises of an EC ruck but apparently that didn’t materialize as planned and sites of Champ running up THWM for his pre workout warm up was impressive. As YHC rolled into the OEC 20 PAX were in the parking lot for the second edition of Durham guest Q January. It was also nice to have 5 visiting PAX, 3 from Raleigh courtesy of PH, 2 from the greater Charlotte area.

Time to get to work, arms up and run up the hill to the church.

Warm up:

SSH x 30
IW x 15
BWS x 30
Merkin x 30
Flutter Kicks x 40

YHC thought it was appropriate to introduce our visitors to THWM so we headed back to the crest of THWM for a hands release merkin period up to 10 and back down. Once we worked thru this exercise which did seem harder than it should have, I will agree with some of the mumble chatter we headed to the bottom for the ‘triple nickel’.

The ‘Triple Nickel’ consisted of 5 jump squats, sprint THWM to the gate, 5 merkins at the gate, sprint to the top of the parking lot for 5 burpees, run back to the bottom and recover in low hold squat until all PAX return. Shout out to Prancing Horse who recognized that 1 PAX veered off on the return trip down for a little personal time. The PAX completed 5 ascents of THWM substituting the 3 Rd sprint up with walking lunges to try and catch our breath. The 6 ascent was a bear crawl to Mary.

Mary consisted of 30 Heels to Heaven and 30 WWII’s
