Today was selected as The Chatham Takeover Day. A Chatham man Q’d each of the Friday AO’s in Churham. It’s a great way to get out and about, see some old friends, make some new ones, and just mix a little bit of variety across our great region. Have Shovel Flag; Will Travel.

SDR and Groupie knocked out some EC, and at 0530 we had six men ready to go.

Warm Up

• Double-Time SSH
• Imperial Walkers
• Slow Merkins
• Pax Choice

Main Event

We moseyed down to the track, and I explained today’s concept: Track & Stack. We’d start with one round of one exercise, then run a half lap. Then, we’d repeat the previous round and then stack another exercise. Rinse and repeat, continuing to stack additional exercises as well as rep counts, with running half laps between each round.

As we were completing the first round, Food Lion emerged from the woods so we added a few extra burpees. The Track & Stack went something like this:

1. 5 (SC) Burpees
2. 5 (SC) Burpees; 10 (IC) Merkins
3. 5 (SC) Burpees; 10 (IC) Merkins; 15 (IC) Dollies
4. 5 (SC) Burpees; 10 (IC) Merkins; 15 (IC) Dollies; 20 (IC) SSH
5. 5 (SC) Burpees; 10 (IC) Merkins; 15 (IC) Dollies; 20 (IC) SSH; 25 (SC) Squats
6. 5 (SC) Burpees; 10 (IC) Merkins; 15 (IC) Dollies; 20 (IC) SSH; 25 (SC) Squats; 30 (SC) Gas Pumps

Mosey up to the school for the special Chatham Takeover Challenge: BTTW! The men’s form was great (i.e., Balls were To. The. Wall). Red October put up a respectable 1:51 with impeccable form, but Stop Drop & Roll emerged victorious with a time of 2:21!
