QIC: Acorn
PAX: Charlatan, Frack, Acorn, LegZ, HC3, Toll Booth, Pinky, Thumper, Herschel
I had been plotting this workout for days, and it’s a good thing because I didn’t get home from work until 9:30 last night. After loading most of the coupons into my car last night (in the rain), I went to bed. This would be the appropriate time to point out that some of the softer members of the PAX suggested we relocate the workout to a dry venue (Pinky). After some sideline chatter this rebellion was squashed (#resistance).
At 0420 the youngest of my 2.0’s was up and I so was I… I gathered the remaining objects and hit the road. At 0600 I arrived in plenty of time to set up. Thanks be to Herschel for showing up right after me to help with the tractor tire.
Warmup
At 0630 we began with:
- 25 arm circles IC while the PAX finished assembling.
- Next a modified indian sprint around the track. Last member of the PAX drops and does 5 merkins and then sprints to the front, yells out “Up” whereupon the six drops and does 5 merkins, etc. We completed one cycle in exactly one lap.
- 15 WMH IC
- 5 Merkins IC
The Thang
We took a quick mosey to explore the 8 stations that would be the morning’s workout.
- 40 Merkins
- Run 1 lap
- 20 overhead anvil presses
- Tire flip (25 yards)
- 80 lbs x 2 Farmer’s Carry (50 yards)
- Fireman’s carry (50 yards) form of a railroad tie
- Chain drag/carry (100 yards)
- Sandbag heave x 4
Recover, Recover
- Incredible workout today. The encouragement from the time keepers and onlookers was truly commendable.
- T-claps to Thumper for not splitting his chest open. #Beast.
- As expected, Pinky took home all of the hardware with an incredible 6 minute display of manly prowess
