Eight regular PAX welcomed two FNGs to Kenan on Monday, Mayday and Papa being two luminaries of Franklin Street commerce. One mixes drinks, the latter flips pizza and both came with an open mind, a lot of energy and the mindset to go one step at a time and take a break if needed.

After a warmup that included SSH x 20, prisoner squats x 10, windmills x 10, arm circles x 10 (forward and back) and merkins x 10, we moved into Kenan Stadium, where off-season infrastructure improvements are 95 percent completed.

We spread out on the field with one man for one aisle and did 15 minutes running/walking the steps with 10 squats and 10 merkins at the bottom of each lap.

Then we circled up at ground level for two rounds of 30-second AMRAPs—split squats, LBCs, merkins and Carolina dry docks. Next was the lunge walk across the width of the field, followed by a sprint back and planks.

From there we moved back up to the concourse for three rounds of dips AMRAP for 30 seconds each on the benches outside the Blue Zone. Then three sets of 30-second people’s chairs and then returned to the bench for AMRAP step-ups.

Six Minutes of Mary wrapped it all up with Freddie Mercuries, long-slow flutters, ski abs and plank holds.

A great time was had by all and we look forward to seeing Maytag and Papa again at Kenan and other AOs around Chapel Hill.

Aye!
