Passing off the Q …. to a set of dice?

Inspired by the Weinkes of some other esteemed pax (MT, Wild Turkey), YHC decided to switch it up a bit and see what would happen. This was either going to be a fun, thorough beatdown or an unmitigated disaster. Let’s be honest, though, the pax of F3 enjoy both (there’s a reason CSAUP is a thing).

YHC arrived around 5:00 to get everything set up: 11 signs posted throughout the AO with different exercises on each. Pax broke up into 4 teams (speed mattered – partner with pax who will go at a similar pace as you). Each team was given two dice and a list of locations around the AO. Simple instructions: roll the dice, find the number on the map, mosey to that place, find the sign, complete the exercise. Tried to make it as idiot-proof as possible. Exercises were:

Hair burners
Double-merkin burpees (15)
Hand release burpees (10)
Down Murderhorn and AYG back up (more on this later)
Up and down Stone Mountain hill 3x
25 Derkins and 25 incline merkins
Run speed bump alley, 10 merkins at each speed bump
Jack Webb: start with 1/4 and go up to 5/20
50 LBCs
10 prairie-fire Mary
25 pistol crunch, each leg

Get to as many as you can, meet back at launch at 6:15. Done.

The goal was to switch it up and keep pax moving at a comfortable pace. YHC’s team had an unfortunate habit of rolling the Murderhorn, so we had the “pleasure” of hitting that three times. After that, the burpees were a breeze. We got in over 4 miles, another team had 2.75.

Milton (re-named FNG) is a beast. Watch out for him at your next workout. He was killing the MH and taking no prisoners. Sound off below on observations from your different teams.

Hope you guys enjoyed the change of pace. It was an honor to lead you fine men.

Thanks to Tiny Dancer for the takeout.

Traversing the AO and never rolling a 5 (Murderhorn)? Lucky or unlucky? We did get back to back burbpees and the hill twice. And a good chunk of the daily Merkin challenge reps …good hump day beat down.
