Ferkins and Clerkins?

Ferkins and Clerkins?

The Thang: Eight men came together for what they thought would be a running beat down.  They were surprised by the swollfest that they indued.  It was all about reaching the total for the merkin challenge and celebrating my 40th birthday.

Warm up a mosey lap around the track.  That is all.  There was no time to delay the pain.

Starfish: Five sections.  Partner up.  Partner one does the called exercise at the station while partner two gets as many merkins as they can before their partner gets back.  Station one 40 jump ups: Station two 40 LBCs: Station three 40 curls with a man size rock: Station four suppine pull ups x 40: and lastly 40 jump squats.

Rinse and repeat but this time different exercises. Station one split squat x 40: Station two Russian twist x 40: Station three tricep curls x 40: station four hold plank for one minute.

There was not enough time to get to station five.  Good work out of everyone.  Almost everyone got to merkin goal and those that did not Splinter helped get them there.

Moleskin:

Apparently Frasier and YHC have a reputation for running, so everyone assumed lots of running today.  Instead the Pax were treated to 300+ Merkin Fest.  The BRR runners need to get their Pecs ripped up before the race to market their F3 bodies to all the tomatoes they pass on the hills of WNC.

Good work by all.  Sonar probably put in the best work.  I think he even chased YHC and Stagecoach down on one of the 100 m runs.

Good to see Prohibition out there recovering from a lingering calf injury.  Tclaps to Whiplash and Dry Needling.

Amidst the Starfish Merkins, boredom set in and the Pax were seeking creative ways to do Merkins. Hence the Ferkins (Finger Merkins) and the Clerkins (Clap Merkins).  Although disclaimer, be careful when doing on pavement.  YHC almost took it to the chin.
