Got us a benchmark

Got us a benchmark

QIC:  Thistle

Date:  January, 2 2019

THE PAX:    Greenspan, Burns, Splash, Van Gogh, Zima, Mongoose, Dr. Toot Canal, Red Eye, Spamalot, Burlap, Thistle.

Eleven (11) PAX gathered on a cool January morning in the parking lot of Meadowlark Elementary School.  The goal of this morning was to establish a baseline for our fitness to start 2019.  So why not try to complete a Murph and see how you stand. 

WARMARAMA:   None of the usual exercises.  Just start running the first mile.  Only concern was the short distance on Meadowlark – it was not busy and we had reflective vests – so as safe as possible. 

THE THANG:  The baseline beatdown was a Murph.  So a mile run, 100 pull ups, 200 merkins and 300 squats.  This was my first Murph – I did sets of 5 pull ups, 10 merkins and 15 squats, since pull ups are tough for me. 

The PAX all completed at least 6 laps by the time 0615 arrived, resulting in a coverage of approximately 3.0 miles in distance and 91 reps of each exercise.

YHC’s main goal (and I wasn’t alone) was to not allow Cherry Pie to lap me.  Thankfully, 0615 arrived before he was able to do so.

NMM:

My apologies for the very late BB Zima.  But this was a great group and got after it to start 2019.  Thanks for the push to be a better man in many facets of my life.  I have a lot of areas to improve.  Zima, keys are on the side of Meadowlark Road – be careful.
