YHC was remembering the fun of Merkin March and thought it would be a worthy time to revive the days of 200 merkins before breakfast and shoulder pain all day!

warmup: SSH x 25, WMH x 10, IW x 10, Arm circles x 10, mountain climber x 20, single count merkins x 25, dive bomber merkins x 10, spiderman merkins x 10, double merkin burpees x 10.

The Thang:

Merkin Mile: stop every 1/4 mile for 25 merkins with straight run, lateral shuffle, and backwards run in between

1/4 mile bear crawl plus hand release merkins.  This was a partner event with partner1 bear crawling while partner2 does 15 hand release merkins then run to catch partner1 and switch.

20 cadence count dips

15 more hand release merkins

crawl bear to top of hill

20 more cadence count dips

mosey back with shuffle and backwards run

Total Numbers: 200ish merkins, 60 cadence count dips, 2 miles of various forms of travel.  Only complaints were from Shakeit and Fife who both wanted more bear crawl distance and some burpees.  Sorry guys… next time.

Mary: all cadence count — heels to heaven x 20, peach pickers x 10, bushwood flutter x 50

COT: Prayers for Knope’s friend Jeff

It’s always an honor and a privilege to lead this group.  Thank you men!
