You know that feeling when, during a winter workout, you’ve worked up a good sweat, you stop for a moment a blast of wind hits you and chills you to the core? Well the best way to avoid that is to not stop moving. So, with the temperatures forecast at well below freezing at 0-dark-thirty, YHC wanted a workout that would keep everyone moving constantly. Fortunately, Murph’s Cousin came to town over the Thanksgiving holiday, and stuck around for a few extra days to join us on our workout and keep us moving. He’s also a big music fan so he put together a playlist for the event and brought the Bose.
It was a strong showing at CJ with one of the largest crews we’ve seen – 11 PAX Strong showed up and at the strike of 5:30, YHC cranked up the tunes and we were off.

Main Event
As Hendrix’s Purple Haze kicked in, we moved out, lapping the parking lot and heading for the monkey bars behind the school.
There we met Murph’s Cousin. All PAX would repeat cycles of:
- 5 Pull Ups
- 10 Burpees
- 15 LBC
- Run to end of playground- Tally their progress with chalk on the wall (if you could find chalk in the dark), and return to bars
- Repeat
As the playlist pounded a steady beat and filled the mumblechatter-less void, PAX repeated the cycle until the last PAX had completed 10 full cycles. Vandelay and SD&R must have completed about 15 as the rest of us completed our 10th.
PAX then alternated 25 count BTTW and Squat holds 2x before moseying back to the parking lot for Mary.
