Do Mary or Rest?

A baker’s dozen (that’s 13 for those who have never been to a bakery) came out on a beautiful spring morning for some running, merkins, squats, & Mary.

The Thang

Mosey to the track for COP and the mandatory SSH and IW

Butt kicks and high knees for 100 yds
Karaoke 100 yds
100 yd run w/30 REAL squats then run 100
Repeat with 20 squats
Repeat with 10.

Partner up with someone you dont know (if possible).
Partner 1: 100 yd sprint with 27 hand release Merkins then sprint back
Partner 2 then does the above while P1 can rest or do Mary
Repeat with 24 hand release Merkins, then 21, then 18 and so on. This was a #TimeSuck and a real burner

Some Mary
Prayer Fire Mary – each Partner 30 reps
30 situps with your partner holding your ankles.

Moleskine:

So there was some discussion as the beginning of our Merkin Ladder as to whether the partner who is not running should do Mary while they wait. YHC left this up to the discretion of each of the pax. I’ve done this ladder before and knew that if I truly sprinted, I was going to need the rest. But we have some young studs in F3 now – not just the 40 and 50 somethings who first made up the Nation a few years ago. So they have a little bit more energy, stamina, and strength. Although some of the older guys were banging out those squat sets which was impressive, and yes, they were doing actual squats.

Later during the Ladder, someone said they overheard Stone Cold confessing about an injury recently incurred at home in the bedroom. However, SC wouldn’t fess up to it when YHC inquired in front of the group. Maybe it was just #WishfulThinking on his part.

Anyway, hopefully it was a good workout for those who came. Yeti, thanks for letting me lead.
