11 pax posted to WIB for a promised “fun” workout.  Fun was had…..I think.

Warm o rama – SSH x 15IC, IW x 15IC.  Whirly and Abe OYO.  Merkin x 10IC.  arm swirly things F/R.

Thang:  Mosey to the track.  First lap together with instructions – at the one end of the track perform 1 min of LBC’s followed by 1 min of plank.  Run the track to the other end and perform AMRAP pull ups followed by merkins, then back to AMRAP pull ups and then merkins.  Run back to the other side.

the Twist………for each lap…..you must drag a cinderblock 200 meters and then sprint the other 200 meters coming back.  ropes were used to pull the cinderblocks.

perform util time.

The pax pretty much stayed together.  The cinderblock pull was terrible.

TIME.

Announcements – multiple OCRs out there.  check them out.  lots of pax involved.

Prayers – those fighting addiction.

YHC took us out thanking HIM for our abilities and asking HIM to help us find those fighting addiction and find better ways to get them to HIM.

 

MC – Cinderblock pull was a nice twist.  there was an open debate wether it was worse to pull the block and then do merkins or do merkins then pull the block. If you haven’t attempted as many reps as possible on pull-ups immediately followed by merkins and then repeat….you should.  its humbling.  Not too much MC out there – or at least they shielded it from YHC.

unbelievable how strong this group was this morning.  it was a pleasure just to be out there with them.  thank you for the keys Thistle, since you weren’t there, i left them in Palins truck.

    This looks awful. For real, awful.
    And don’t forget, we can’t celebrate the strong pax unless you put it in the main section of the backblast. All those other sections are just three to distract/confuse, they don’t work.

      I added it for him… the site developers never fixed the fields from appearing before they abandoned us! One day they’ll appear again…

    Great job Huckleberry – appreciate your leadership. I could try to explain my absence but after this killer workout, it would undoubtedly fall on deaf ears. Very impressive!

    This was a great, difficult Q! YHC was gassed after each block pull, especially if the block flipped with the open face side down. I appreciate the 2 minutes of Mary break, without it, it very well could have turned into a Van Gogh drag up to the parking lot. Definitely good OCR training, pull-ups are vital, sled drag for leg strength, and speed in the open run. #TClaps!

    Wow. I just flashed back to Mayhem yesterday and shivered. This looks worse.
