4 Corners in Ballantyne

4 Corners in Ballantyne

14 SOBs launched at 0600 from the Vine Restaurant at the Ballantyne AO.

Here’s what we did:

The Thang:

We headed towards the back of the corporate park.

COP – SSH X 10, Merkins X 10, IW X 10, Merkins X 10, Lunges X 10, Merkins X 10,

We headed over to the small pond with a bridge for modified 6s. 5 merkins at the top, 1 burpees at the bottom, 1 lap around the pond; 4 merkins at the top, 2 burpees at the bottom, 1 lap around the pond, etc.

We then moseyed over to the stairs, counted off into 4 groups and received instructions for 4 corners. Corner 1 backwards bear crawls up the stairs, Corner 2- Hair burners, Corner 3 – 20 merkins, Corner 4- 10 burpees. PAX ran a total of 3 rounds. As regrouped we did Merkins X 10, 3 times.

Circle up for Mary Jack Webb (heels to heaven and LBCs), Merkins X 10, Flutter X 10, Dollies X 10, Merkins X 10

COT

Moleskin:

I was on a mission for merkins and the PAX could tell right off the bat in the COP. Many of us are doing the merkin challenge and Stonehenge provided the men with an opportunity to complete the days requirement of 323.

I’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to lead the PAX up a set of stairs doing backwards bear crawls. It seems like a good idea, until you actually try it. We did a total of 3 sets and getting up the stairs each time seemed almost impossible. It feels like doing 1 handed merkins, but all of your body weight is on each arm.

It was a pleasure leading the men in the Gloom.
