Crazy Little Thing Called Merkins



Crazy Little Thing Called Merkins

**Posted on behalf of Queen**

21 Pax gathered on a lovely, but humid morning to tackle the beast known as Hydra. I promised several that we would have no burpees, but a ton of merkins. Here’s how it went:

COP

Brief disclaimer and off to the bus lot.

SSH X 25

Imperial Walkers X 20

Low Slow Squats X 15

Slow Merkins X 12

The Workout:

Mosey over to Knightswood. Run to the stop sign doing 12 merkins at each light post (7 light posts).

Mosey down to the bottom of the hill on Bedfordshire. Partner up for ½ pipe. Partner 1 goes to the top of one hill and does 12 air squats, partner two the other way and does 8 Dry Docks. Meet down at the bottom for 10 merkins. Repeat for 4 sets (2 each hill).

Mosey over to Queensbury. Run down Queensbury until it dead ends into Lancer, doing either 10 merkins or 16 air squats at each light post (about 12 light posts).

Mosey over to Dulverton. Run up Dulverton, once we got to the driveway with the American flag, lung walk to the next driveway and then continue running (or walking) to the top of the hill.

Head up Bedfordshire, then down the Foxworth hill. Then do triple nickel (5 air squats at bottom, 5 merkins the top), 5 sets.

Cut up through the woods and back to the launch. No time left for Mary.

 

Moleskin: 

I do apologize for getting everybody back to launch at about 7:01. I’ve ragged on many a Q for running late so I am feeling a little hypocritical.

Great work from Proehl and Amber who were upfront. Geraldo, and Sling Shot also kept up well. Actually, this was a brutal workout, hats off to everybody, even if you had to walk part of it. The humidity didn’t make it any easier.

My favorite part was when Proehl was doing extra credit on the half pipe and was about 30 yards behind us when I called out to head over to Queensbury. Someone said that we needed to wait up for Proehl. Um, yeah, right. Ah, he’s going to be quite capable of catching up to us.

The lunge walks were in front of my neighbor’s house. He’s never done a F3 workout, but we’ve been trying to get him out for years. He’s a beast. Part of his workout routine is doing lunge walks up and down the street with a weighed vest. I had to take a pic of the group during that part to let him know that we lunge walked in his honor.

Thanks to Gummy and Sprockets for the opportunity to lead this morning.
