THE DEAL:
Day five of the 2018 Gauntlet featured 52 PAX. With the Viper, the Kamikaze, the Tomcat and the Slammer behind us and only 45 minutes of torture left until we end the first of two grueling weeks, there was almost a hint of excitement in the air. That was until, the Reaper’s AOQ, Shake & Bake, explained the details of the new “Blood and Guts” edition. At that point, most of the faces looked like they were dreading what was about to go down. Here are all the GORY details…
THE REAPER (BLOOD & GUTS EDITION):
* RUN up to first cone and back – 3 BURPEES at bottom
* RUN up to second cone and back – 3 BURPEES at bottom
* RUN up to third cone and back – 3 BURPEES at bottom
* RUN up to top of hill and back – 21 MERKINS at top and 3 BURPEES at bottom
Rinse and Repeat for 45 minutes, increasing Merkin reps by 1 each lap.
The rucks were back in high numbers this morning, and there was plenty of iron sharpening going on. Now that we’ve reached the halfway point of the 2018 Gauntlet, we earned two days to rest and recover. We’ll be back at it for week two before you know it!
