…and many wished it was Sunday. Ohoooooh.
ECs at Devil”s Ridge are a treat. YHC hadn”t attended in a while and it felt great to push the production function to new limits again. Labor = 6 pax. Capital = a few KBs, the cold, hard ground, and a pull up bar. Productivity = 100 merkins, 100 pull ups, and 120 KB swings. Props to Assisi, that Franciscan paragon of venerated poverty – poor only in lazy habits – for setting the pace.
14 PAX found out 2 things upon arrival. 1) It”s Merkin March. 2) Guess what, it”s Merkin Monday. All told, we did 300 merkins in the ME, give or take, and YHC slapped them with 50 merkins before a side shuffle or straddle was even hopped once. After warming up a bit, we hit the hill on Whitford. Here”s how it all went down:

  • Run to the top
  • 25 merkins
  • Run back down
  • 20 burpees
  • Partner carry to top (each partner)
  • 25 merkins (x2 for all)
  • Run back down
  • 20 partner squats (once each)
  • Lunge walk to top (5 lunges and then 5 merkins to the top – total of about 75 merkins to get there)
  • 25 merkins
  • Run back down
  • 25 merkins (or 50 if you could fit them in)
  • Shuttle run 10 times (5 round trips) to the fourth light and back
  • 25 merkins
  • Bunny hop to top
  • 25 merkins

Mary:

  • Bear crawl to top
  • 25 merkins
  • Crawl bear down

Prayers to Driftwood. Hoping he recovers from his injury soon!
The Bull, April 1, 6-10am. Be there!
