Cirque-de-Merk

4 Pax showed their fortitude in the icy cold gloom of #Anchor this morning. Thankfully, the wind was at a minimum — unfortunately, the pain was not. 5 circuits, with 4 sets per circuit, each set ending with 5 solid Merkins (solid Merkin = all the way down, and all the way back up — straight back, 90+° elbows at the bottom, locked elbows at the top.) Only 5 each set so do them slow and make them count.

Conditions: clear, calm, 28°
