26 pax stare down the Reaper, the Reaper blinked first

26 pax woke up and cleared the crusty stuff from their eyes to find the Reaper staring them down again.  Some staring down the Reaper for the first time, while others have done battle with the beast many times before.  So the staring contest began to see who would blink first…

Weather: 32°

The Thang:

Start at the bottom of hill, run up to top, 21 Merkins, run to bottom of hill, 21 LBC’s.  Rinse and repeat for 45 minutes adding one rep each round up and down.  Each week we will score the Pax on rounds completed and weight carried. Our first place finisher will have the distinct honor of being our #TheUndertaker for the week.  Points system is as follows: 20 points per round completed (half round when completing Merkins at the top of the hill).  1 point for every 2 pounds carried.

All pax results are posted here

Results:

1st Place (#TheUndertaker): Fracture (375)

2nd Place: No Help (315.25)

Most Weight: No Help (57lbs)

Most Reps: Forest, Nightmare, Spackle, and Voltron (11 reps each)

COT

Excellent work today, glad to see more and more new faces taking on the Reaper. YHC’s mind and body both said no this morning, but for some reason he crawled out of the fartsack, sucked it up, and had some good 2nd F with Clipboard.  Continue to push yourself to #getbetter and #bebetter, you can’t see progress if you don’t go out and try.

Also to note, the pax won the staring contest…
