For anyone living under a rock, last night was the #Natty… YHC had a good feeling whatever PAX did post this morning would be dragging. As I was scheming up a good Q yesterday I thought to myself, take it easy on the guys or go hard and help the men knock off the cobwebs. In true #Hammer fashion I chose the latter. 7 PAX endured the beat down!
Now, I’ve been seeing post on twitter about legion doing a monthly Murph. I’ve never done a Murph. I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be great to do a Murph? Well, of course it would, but we don’t really have a good track or 1 mile route at Hammer. So why not add a little spice to the running portion. Then I thought some more, while I’m improvising, I really don’t want to do legs today. I fartsacked last Thursday and my upper body/abs were starving for attention. So again… & in NO WAY at all to take away anything from a Warrior like Michael Murphy, I did a little more improvising. Here’s how it went down:
Conditions: 28ish degrees & clear
The Thing:
Circle up for 20 SSH OYO while YHC disclosed the careful Q I had planned
Leave COT at run to the bottom of the first dumpster hill
turn around and head back up to the top which is all the way to the road
complete 4 hill repeats from top to bottom which equals 1.07 miles (per RA’s Garmin)
Run back to COT after your 4th time up the hill & plank while waiting on the 6
Next – Mosey over to the play ground for:::
100 Pull Ups
200 BB Sit-ups (instead of Merkins)
300 Merkins (instead of Squats)
Lots of mumble chatter as the PAX worked towards completion. With aprx 10 minutes remaining I called time and we started our 1 mile run back to dumpster hill for 4 more repeats ending at COT.
Moleskin: It was really cold and most of the guys that showed up this morning were up late. T-Claps to everyone for staying positive and giving it all they had!
Announcements:
