5 EC KB swingers #mumblechatted their way through sets of swings, goblet squats and merkins. I”m pretty confident that the tally marks totaled over 1,000 (or…somewhere close). Check TBD parking lot for residual sidewalk chalk proof.

Merkin pyramid (1…10…1) – Yes – merkin pyramids can still count as warm up.
The Thang
Following the quick formation of 2 groups, 1 PAX from each team secured a pair of 30lb sand-enhanced coupons and proceed to followed our fearless lead navigator Sweats into the darkness. We moseyed our way to one of the peaceful neighborhood hills surrounding TBD. To preserve some small amount of grip strength along the way, the PAX passed the coupons and traded in 5 burpees OYO at each swap.
Upon arrival the following instructions were delivered:
1 PAX member per team carries the coupons and begins his run up the hill to the 1st street lamp with his team following alongside. At each streetlamp, all PAX complete the following;
5 burpees/5 WWIIs/5 merkins.
Switch the coupon-carrying PAX to another and continue the run up the hill to the 2nd street lamp for 5 burpees/5 WWIIs/5 merkins. Switch the coupon-carrying PAX again and descend to the 1st streetlamp for (you guessed it) – 5 burpees/5 WWIIs/5 merkins. Switch and return to the start point at the base of the hill for…well…you know. Repeato again…and again…and again…and once again for 5 total cycles. Quick math confirms our daily total included 100 burpees,100 WWIIs & 200 merkins. Be sure to update the #MegaDoc…and tip your waiters.
To our surprise (and/or good fortune) the clock indicated it was time to return home while Floyd ensured that we all knew it was going to rain (and he was right!!) The distant thunder and seemingly nearby lightning encouraged an expedited COT.
COT – Happy pre-BDay to Sweats and Happy birthday to Screech. Congrats on making it to 25 buddy! Continued Tclaps to Sweats for launching such a solid (semi-) new AO for Churham.
Day 2 of 5 for the BDay Q week: Check.
