Mini Convergence with The Rock: Runstopper Q

The newly combined forces of Day Zero and the Rock circled up to take on an especially angry Jack Webb.

1 Merkin + 4 arm presses, 2 merkins + 8 arm presses,…all the way to 15 merkins + 50 arm presses

The convergence now finished, Purple Haze picked up the shovel flag and started the half mile back to McAlpine.  Upon returning to McAlpine the pax began the…

Plank up in a circle around YHC’s yellow corona shirt for the Merkin Mexican Hat Dance

The pax rotate counterclockwise around the circle, doing a merkin every 3 paces.  Once a full revolution has been made, turn it around and go clockwise around the circle until a second revolution has been made.

Complete another lap around the track with the same Turkish getups, Russian twists, Hindu Merkins, and Sumo Squats

Plank up and wait for the rest of the pax at the end of the lap.

Mac Tar Gai X 10.

Wheel Barrow Merkin Race.

Pax partner up for a 30 yard wheel barrow race.  The only catch is, YHC yelling stop and instructing the participants to do wheel barrow merkins.  About 15-20 merkins were completed over the 30 yards.  Flapjack.

Moleskin: 

At the start of DayZero Baracus had just completed the jog over from the preRock Kettlebell work.  He was less than pleased when he learned we would be returning from whence he came.

Purple Haze’s COP was burpelicious.  YHC doesn’t recall ever being so happy to see Runstopper showup.

YHC’s thoughts during the Jack Webb

“10-  He always stops at 10.  Nice mini convergence.  Great idea Purple Haze!

11-  He’s just trying to be funny.  We’ll just do one more Jack Webb round and be done with it.

12-  Twelve is a nice even number.  This has to be where we stop.

13-  Ok, I get it.  We’re unlucky.  C’mon!

14-  Am I going to be able to Q the second half of this workout?

15-  We’re done?!?  I don’t think I’ve ever been happier to see Runstopper leave…”

Great work by the 2.0’s on pushing everyone else during the World Tour laps.

Spackler inspired the Merkin Mexican Hat Dance with his Corona infused tweets night.

YHC tried to give the pax an opportunity to help decided on the next exercise after Mac Tar Gai.  Instead, they learned the perils of an inefficient democracy and began the wheel barrow merkin race.
