A Chile Morning for Nickels

A Chile Morning for Nickels

10 pax made all the fartsackers look FIA-ready by posting this cold-ass morning. We needed to warm up, so we got right after it.

The Thang:

Mosey to the lot in front of Smoke (who doesn’t like the smell of smoked meat in the morning?) for COP. I could say this was an homage to Brisket and Pulled Pork, but I’d be lying.

Merkins x 15 IC
SSH x 15 IC
IW x 15 IC
LSS x 15 IC
Merkins x 10 IC

Mosey to the bottom of our favorite hill #murderhorn for the first triple nickel to the first street on the left: 5 werkins at the top, 5 diamond merkins at the bottom, 5x.

Once that fun was over, mosey to the rockpile, grab a rock, and continue moseying to the pool parking lot for the second triple nickel: 5 curls with rock at the bottom, bear crawl halfway up the lot, sprint the other half to the top, 5 merkins. Run back down, rinse and repeat 5x. Active recovery with some Freddy Mercury x15 IC.

Next triple nickel: 5 pull-ups (6 for those needing to get 30 in for the pull-up/merkin challenge) at the playground, run to the covered pool area for 5 step-ups each leg, 5x.

Next: 5 merkins at the top of the parking lot, run down to your rock for 5 overhead presses, run back up to the top, 5x. Time running low, so we headed back to the base of the ‘Horn for an AYG to the top, followed by active recovery with LBCs. Once we collected the six, moseyed back to launch for 10 merkins IC, 15 Dolly, and another 10 merkins IC. Done.

Skinny:

How the hell did Dear Abbey and the Centurion crowd get 5 triple-nickels in recently? I read that BB and thought it was a great concept for Stonecrest with all there is to do. We might have been able to get 5 if we stayed on campus, but I wanted to give the Challenge pax a chance to get in their pull-ups. Totals were 25-30 pull-ups and 190 merkins.

Doc was freaking beasting all morning long. His home country (Chile) would have been proud. I was 2nd place on the first triple nickel on the MH and almost got lapped. I think he did an extra round on every Nickel. Great work. We love having you out to Rebel Yell every Thursday to make the rest of us look really slow. He does, however, need to work on his bear crawls. It’s very awkward and “hoppy” looking. I’m sure I could call it cheating but then I would just sound jealous.

Morning After and Fredo were with YHC most of the morning behind Doc, pushing hard. MA just quietly gets after it every post, and Fredo is getting strong in a very short period of time. I still don’t believe the dude is a #respect.

Everyone worked hard today. Because of the cold, YHC wanted to keep everyone moving. Thank you all for showing up and pushing through. You’re better for it and we’re all better for having done it beside you. #ISI

Thank you to HB and Strawberry for letting me lead.
