So I had an idea in mind for the Q today, and then Moore announced that it’s once again challenge month here in Churham, and unlike last month which was centered around the my beloved pull up, May will be based upon the loathsome Burpee… So I gave it a moment’s thought and decided to switch it up to a workout that I have actually never successfully completed on my own. I’ve gone out to the garage with good intentions, but I get through that first round and talk myself RIGHT out of doing more. I go to kettlebells, more pull-ups or something else that I’d prefer doing and makes me feel less like vomiting (more on that later). But that’s one of the best things about F3 – the accountability! With all of the other PAX out there once you commit to something – the motivation to see it through is much higher. So all of that being said – today we took on an ass-whooping ME that I learned from Chum – the Dee WOD.

Warmup:

20SSH IC (While we waited for Beaujolais to take off his bike helmet, set the combination lock and whatever the hell else he was doing over there under the tree…)

10 Burpees OYO

1o WMH IC

Arm circles forward/backwards etc.

Harvesters

Nobody cares what warmups we did anyway.

ME:

Simple – 4 rounds of the following:

40 Squats

30 Hand Release Merkins

20 Burpees

400M mosey.

We would complete all of these reps together and pick up the six on the moseys – no PAX left behind. I split up the hand release merkins and the burpees into multiple sets because I was ruined after the first round as usual. After round 3 I legit almost spilled merlot. I was doubled over and really thought it was gonna happen. Fun Splashback Fact – I have never spilled Merlot at a workout but today is the closest I’ve come. Kept that one to myself – but now ya know…. After round 4 of the reps we only did a 200m mosey and all PAX did 10 additional Burpees for an even 100 on the morning. PAX then had the option to run the final 200m or get an early start on Mary. Because I wanted to start Mary – I was done with this shit.

Announcements:

I forget.

COT:

Thanks to all for coming out – appreciate the fellowship and accountability – no way I punish myself like that without everyone else out there. Love you guys.

Moleskine:

F3 2.0s are beast. Top 3 finishers at the recent race over at Chatham Grove were all children of our PAX. and oh yeah – Banana Skin can rock 1 arm push ups during the Merkin ring of the fire shaming us all….
