Serving Some Cold Merkins

Serving Some Cold Merkins

Checked earlier in the week and the forecast was 60F, checked this morning and it was 26F.

Probably my coldest Q so far, so tried to start with some laps to get warmed up, didn’t really help.

The Thang

Warmup: Disclaimer with some interruptions from Gummy about how they did disclaimers before the war. Quick lap around the track, some karaoke on the way. Circle up for some SSH, Merkins (the start of good things to come), IW, mountain climbers, squats.

Still freezing, so we fit some squares in an oval shape, doing a couple of rounds:

1. 5, 10, 15, 20 Merkins
2. 5, 10, 15, 20 Jumpsquats
3. 5, 10, 15, 20 Wide Arms
4. 5, 10, 15, 20 LBCs
5. 5, 10, 15, 20 Diamonds

Run up to playground for some people’s chair, arm raises and a couple of rounds of crowd pleasing hip slappers. Any reason to slap some heat into this legs.

Back down to the grandstand for some partner rounds, group waiting on runners were doing some:

Dips, derkins, lbcs, incline merkins, squats.

Finally on the field for some 50 yard sprints, lunge walks, more merkins and maybe some lbcs.

Return to cars for 2 min of cool down with some more merkins for the fun of it, and finish it off with some Russian twists.

The Moleskin:

Gummy was on form patrol, definitely going for quality over quantity and making sure there is daylight on our jumpsquats. The PAX seemed to enjoy some of the metro exercises, specially the hip slappers, definitely need to add more of those. Good job guys!

Distance of 2.3 miles, got in our 200 merkins for the merkin challenge!

My first non-weekend Q, next time it will hopefully be a bit warmer.

Thanks for the Q guys!
