SOB hammer comes down part 1

SOB hammer comes down part 1

One for the history books.  After a lot of talk last night 11 big hairy SOBs showed up at Stonehenge with little regard for the weather.  What followed was a kick in the teeth.  Then every single one of them accepted the double-down challenge and also posted at Da Vinci for more.

The Thang:

A slow mosey through the ice to the Ballantyne Village parking deck.  Go to the bottom of the deck and proceed with all the old favorites – bad and basic.

20 burpees, sprint length of the deck at the bottom and back (around 100m each way).  10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 merkins, sprint.  Elbow plank for an indeterminate time, then sprint.  Proceed to the depths of the deck and line up for merkins.  20 merkins, then run to the top of the deck.

Hang out at the top for a mary routine – planking, bicycles, etc, then run back down.  Repeato 3 times with some variations.

Time passed quickly then we headed back The Vine for COT.

Moleskin:

Considering that this was just round one, it was fairly challenging.  Tolkien and Bean were really getting after the sprints and runs to the top of the deck.  Nice work.  Didn’t see any merlot but I know YHC was close a couple of times and I think Tolkien may have been too.

There was some grumbling about the numerous plank sessions, but nothing compared to what was coming at Da Vinci.  YHC was lined up for Da Vinci and somehow got talked into a Double-Down Q at the last minute.

Don’t have a count on Merkins.  Had to be at least 200.

T-claps to Market Timer for putting in the time.  He didn’t bring his daughter or his pajamas (like he did at Brazwells last night) but he was on strong form nonetheless.

As we left the parking lot, it looked like Wingman might be a no-show, but he rolled in just as we were leaving and caught all the action.

We were proud to be F3 SOBs this morning.  Everyone who talked it up, showed up.
