Good Things Come in Six

Good Things Come in Six

Squid and I pulled up a couple minutes before launch and greeted some of the fellows.  Squid was my chauffeur for the day.  It has been many months since I have posted at The Maul, so it was great to be out there and see so many new faces.  Disclaimer given and we were off.

Mosey around front of movie theater and circle up.

10 x SSH

10 x IW

10 x Merkins

The Thang:

Head down the Murderhorn to the rock pile at the bottom past the stop sign. Grab a lifting rock and head up to the parking lot.  I had the Pax already count off 1 and 2 so there wasn’t a log jam.  The 1s run down to the stop sign at the bottom of the Murderhorn and perform 20 merkins, while the 2s stayed and did 20 curls.  Once done with your exercise, run to the other station and perform said exercise.  Perform the loop 3 times. Flutters and plank until the Pax was done.

Since everyone knows good things come in six, not threes, we did a second round.  This time, 20 tricep extensions with the rock and 20 monkey humpers at the stop sign.  Mary and plank until the six is done.

Take the rock back to the pile and wait at the stop sign.  Heading back up the murderhorn, run at 80% to each street light, take a 10 count, and continue on up to the top.  By the time we got back to the AO time was up.  We got a total of 3.5 miles in so great work guys.

Moleskin:

Thanks Cheddar and Commish for letting me lead, but I don’t remember seeing Commish.  He must have been scared.  Strawberry even threatened me the day before, and the slacker didn’t make it either. It was great to get back out to the AO.  This was one of the first places I started and I missed it.  And props to Farley.  He hadn’t been out since February, and he came back out yesterday and pushed himself hard.  This is why F3 was created.  Marlin was pushing it hard as well so I guess he will be doing the BRR next year with Picasso.  And I think Cold Cuts should sign up to so he can get some more hill work. He was crawling back up the hill to the parking lot.  I am not sure of all the names, but I saw a lot of guys really working hard out there.  It is great to see the men push themselves, and the rest of the Pax help push them along as well.  And apparently Ickey does not think we should run 3 miles, let alone 3.5 at a boot camp.  I guess he still has PTSD from the BRR.  I don’t know if he will ever go back to a boot camp again.  Only 75 lb kettle bells for that guy.  And not sure why, but Escobar was wearing mittens out there.  He must have his seasons confused from where he comes from.  He looked nice and toasty though.
