Moderate Murph

Moderate Murph

Posted on the behalf of Goonie

29 pax shunned the fartsack for the first Base Camp workout of 2016. Pain was delivered as follows:

(A normal Murph is one mile, followed by 10 sets of 10 pull-ups, 20 merkins, and 30 squats, and concluded with another mile. Moderate is how we roll at Base Camp, so I modified it to keep the pax together #ISI.)

One set of 10 merkins, 20 squats, and 30 LBCs in the parking lot. Mosey to the track.

8 laps around the track, stopping at 3 different points each lap to do 10 merkins in one spot, 20 squats at the next, and 30 LBCs at the last spot.

Mosey back up to the parking lot for the last set of 10-20-30.

We had a little time left so our old friend Jack Webb made an appearance. Having the pax do this on the rough parking lot pavement was just mean.

Moleskin:

Loveshack from Race City told me about the Murph, and they do one every last Monday of the month. I figured I could modify it for Base Camp, and thought it would work pretty well. I heard a few “this sucks” during the workout, so it definitely worked pretty well. I tried to keep everyone together with the format, but am welcome to comments on us we could modify it to do better (NOT doing it is not an option).

It was good to see some faces at BC I had never seen. Awesome job by Uncle Si, Marge, and new dad Daisy leading the way the entire time. Daisy – how do you have any energy? The Hammer and Sledge (2.0) were also killing it. Great to see Simba and Big Tuna off the disabled list and back in the gloom. Thanks also to Paper Jam who skipped his normal post to support YHC.

Thanks to Simba for the perfect takeout. An honor to lead, as always. You guys make me a better man, husband, and father.
