Tackle Berry with a Black Berry

Tackle Berry with a Black Berry

We started off with a mosey down to the front of Harris Teeter.

COP:

20 SSH

20 IW

20 MC

The Thang:

We lined up in front of Harris Teeter, and began the speed hump (SH) merkin challenge.  Run in front of HT then behind Walmart to avoid getting hit by an early morning shopper, and perform 15 merkins at each SH.  We hit 9 SH for 135 merkins then planked it up.

Circle up for some ab work.

20 x Flutter

20 X Crunch

Continue the theme around the next section of retail shops, but cut merkins back to 5 per SH.  We hit 55 more, then planked again.

More ab work.

20xDollies

Same theme with 5 Diamond merkins for the last leg across the front of the theater then back to the AO.  We hit another 50 DM for the last stretch.

Partner up.  Partner 1 runs around the ABC store, Partner 2 performs squats.  Total goal of 300.

Plank up when finished, then head over to the grass hill by Hwy 51.  Partner 1 backwards bear crawl up hill, then 10 merkins, Partner 2 wide side lunges.  (Keep feet wide and lean left then right)  Flapjack.  Repeato 2 times for each Partner.

260 Merkins total

10 x right leg can opener

10 x left leg can opener

10 x Alternating toe taps

10 x side crunch right

10 x side crunch left

We had an FNG that just moved down from Liberty University up in VA.  He hails from Hillsville.  His nickname is Bengals, due to the college nickname of the Flames.  Next time he will have to perform the plank for the whole “Enternal Flame” song.

The teasing continues as I take out the blackberry for name-o-rama.  Tiger Rag was kind enough to nickname me “Tackle Berry with the Black Berry”.  I think he is jealous as is the rest of the PAX since I have a collector’s item.  Great work by all.  Bulldog took the workout a step further and performed merkins at the cross walks, stop signs, and I think every parking space.  He must have done 1,324 total.  I wasn’t sure what the total merkin count the PAX could handle, but looks like the next hurdle to hit will be 350, then up from there.
