Pull up to the AO and many eager 13 PAX waiting on the plan of the day. A few wondering if there would be slosh tubes or sand pipes…not today. The plan was simple (sort of) and based on a workout that Thin Mint Q’d months ago. It killed me then, so with a few modifications, lets move.
The Thang
Head to the start line which is the backside of the 1st building. The first round we will stick together and then release the Dogs (Fraiser / Thin Mint) and the rest will try to keep up.
Stop at each of the outdoor pavilions 4 total and short runs in-between
Dips x25
Incline/ Decline merkins (alternate at each stop) x10
Jump ups / Step ups as the wall got taller x15
Run to the Deck – 10 burpees prior to entering
Run to the bottom floor
LBC’s x25
Run the stairs to the top deck
LBC’s x25
Backward’s run to the end
Bear crawl to the end
Backwards to the end
LBC’s x25 before you go down the stairs
LBC’s 25 at the bottom
Run out of the deck to the access road
At the access road, there are 4 pedestrian walkways and 2 speed bumps
Alternating merkins at each (standard, wide and diamond) x10
***REPTO*** until 06:15 back at launch
Thank you Fire Hazard for taking us out
Ye Old Mole Skinny
- Thank you Mario for asking me to pick up the Q. I had to bargain with the M as she comes off IR, but always a solid crew
- For many of you regulars at this site, this is a Backblast , it often follows a workout. This is a rare sighting for the regulars (avg 1 per month)
- Thank you all for interpreting my demonstrations of each exercise vs what I was calling them….I am not awake mentally at this hour. I prefer to follow the Q and talk smack.
- As I said, hat tip to Thin Mint for this one. Not a complete rip off, but similar route. It was REALLY hard then and still was REALLY hard
- Each loop had 100 merkins / 100 dips / 100 LBC’s /60 jump or step ups and covered 1 mile
- I think Fraiser was actually getting close to finishing round 3- Great Job
- Lots of smack talk early on- Fire Hazard/ MT/ Fraleys/ Teddy and others- Do we need gloves; How are we going to remember this; the workout is almost over; that is one long loop; we can’t go in the deck; should we come in/go out a different level? At the end of the day, all questions were answered with huffing and puffing. Once we let the dogs go, I am not sure what other comments were said
- I promptly took up the 6 on Friday. I choose this workout because it challenged me so bad last time. All of the up and down (blood flow) really messed with me and is exhausting. I realized I needed more of this after I completed the Savage Race. After all, this is (or was) supposed to be an OCR training workout
- I was truly SMOKED after this on and rumor has it a few others were too (War Eagle- your M told mine at Fia). I hope you all felt it.
