We started off with a mosey down though the parking lot in front of HT.
COP:
20 SSH
20 IW
15 Merkin
The Thang:
Partner up and run “Catch Me if You Can” all the way down through the parking lot across Ballantyne Commons Pkwy to the front of St Matthews Catholic Church. Partner 1 runs, Partner 2 performs 5 Diamond Merkins. Once we got there, the Speed Hump (SH) Challenge 2.0 began. Run around the church and perform 15 merkins at each SH. We hit 10 SH for 150 merkins then planked it up.
Circle up for some ab work.
20 X Flutter
20 X Crunch
Continue the theme around the church a second time with 10 wide armed merkins per SH. We hit 100 more merkins, then planked again.
More circle work.
20 X Low Slow Squats
20 X Freddy Mercury
Once completed we split into two groups, lined up on opposite sides of the median in front of church. Reverse plank walk with feet on the curb, and hands on the ground, moving towards the front of the church. First idea was to perform 1 merkin every time you completed a full plank walk, but that was quickly audibled and the goal was to just get to the end.
Partner back up and run “Catch Me if You Can” back to the AO. Partner 1 runs, Partner 2 performs 10 Monkey Humpers.
300+ Merkins total
COM
10 x right leg can opener
10 x left leg can opener
40 LBC OYO
10 x side crunch right
10 x side crunch left
Moleskin:
Squid continues to have a laid back attitude, but crushed the Speed Hump Challenge along with Fire Hazard. I think FH was even doing one handed Merkins for awhile. The workout wasn’t too original from my Q last week, but I was determined to get the PAX to 300+ merkins which we did. Great work by all. Next time 350+.
