Why? Part 2

Why? Part 2

Just a touch of rain on the cars this morning, but ground was pretty dry for the 10 of us that showed up at OPE.  The two site Qs were so far ahead this morning, that we both wrote pre-blasts.  Were it not for Twitter notifications, we’d have had dueling pre-blasts….but as I had the Q yesterday at DMZ and promised this to be part 2, I somehow won out.  That, or Sundancer really didn’t like Bushwood’s parking lot shuffle, which is entirely possible as it included WW2 situps #pukedancer.

Anyway, we decided to forgo the 3-mile Murph (I still think of it sing-song to Gilligan’s Island theme song) and went with the classic Murph.

Run a mile.  100 pull-ups, 200 merkins, 300 squats.  Run another mile.

Classic upper body beat down.  Everyone finished early (Swiper in 36 minutes), so we had multiple minutes of Mary…in fact, we all kind of took turns with her right there on the baby track.  It was something to behold.

Hammer and Sledge went full Elvis after the initial mile and left the building.  I thought it had to be something Sundancer said, as is typically the case, but no…they Elvised.  Not sure which, but I’d guess Sledge because he couldn’t drive himself.  Note – there is a porta-jon on site at concessions.

Runstopper was waiting in the parking lot when we finished the initial mile.  This was a wheelhouse workout for him, too.  Reminded me of Nibs (underrated pull-ups for the big man, despite what Cougar says) and Monkey Feet #Namaste, who both crush this type of workout.

With the tunes out, and a lot of upper body work to do, everyone got into their own little pain caves, which was only broken up by momentary hilarity.  I can’t, and won’t, regurgitate all of it, but it was a good time.  Lot of 2nd F out there today.

I seriously thought Nuke was showing off and doing one handed pull-ups for a minute, which he quickly denied.  Just a really close grip, as in hands almost overlapping.  High Tide was appreciative this was the 2-mile version, and somehow, he managed to continue with pull-ups while laughing.  I could not.  No idea who called for 10 Burpees at the end of Mary #refusenik.  Xs and Os was fun.  A little harder to hold the X today after leg day at DMZ.

Enjoyed it today, gents.  We’ll be back out next week.

Announcements:

Swiper has the Q at Death Valley tomorrow.  He likened it to Armageddon, dogs and cats living together, and “yeah, all that shit”.  So, should be a happy Hump Day!

F3 Dad’s Camp – sign up now or get left out.  Awesome time!
