The thang:
On this day in history (editors note: it was actually May 10th) the transcontinental railroad was completed. The tracks started on the east coast and west coast and met in the middle. The final golden spike was driven into the railroad tracks at Promotory Summit, Utah. In honor of this engineering achievement we partnered up and laid our tracks, when the partners came together (roughly in the middle of the loop) each team drove in their gold spike by doing a GOLDEN BURPEE (patent pending). A golden burpee consists of 1 merkin + 5 plank jacks + 1 merkin + 5 Mnt Climbers + 1 merkin + 5 shoulder taps + 1 merkin + 5 donkey kicks + 1 merkin + jump up. The PAX followed this recipe for about 15 minutes. We then gathered at the lower parking lot and continued to meet in the middle with our partners and execute golden burpees. Modes of travel to the middle included bunny hop, bear crawl, skipping, gorilla walks. Since we were in the construction mood we also build a pyramid of merkins and squats and other exercises to keep our heart rates up.
Mary:
14x LBC followed by a Golder Burpee on steroids (3x a golden burpee).
