No More Merkins!
Workout Date:
02/22/2019
QIC:
Texas Ranger
PAX:
Boxcar, Buffett, and Brown Bag
The Thang:
AO: The Village
Conditions: 50s and foggy (felt perfect)
YHC showed up a little earlier to the AO to check out the conditions. Field was a little damp, but overall everything looked pretty good. Checking out the forecast earlier in the week, I modified my workout to avoid the rain so we could stay under the awning, but it looks like we might get lucky and stay dry the whole time. To be honest, I was starting to think that my fellow PAX might change my name to Texas RAINger if I was 2 for 2 for rain on days that I Q’ed.
About 5 min out, Boxcar showed up (surprise since he told me on Tuesday that he wasn’t going to make it). Couple minutes later, Buffett rolled in followed by Brownbag. Looking like numbers were going to be little light today.
I had originally planned a tough block workout, but Quaker’s coupon beatdown the day before left me pretty sore this morning so I had to table that weinke for later. I think the other PAX agreed that was probably the right strategy. But of course, you don’t always need a coupon to offer a tough beatdown. #MerkinChallenge

DORA 1,2,3:
Originally planned on a Lazy Dora with no running, but since the weather was holding up I decided to change on the fly so we (mainly me) could get some running in:
100 Merkins: I kept the lazy part of this one so we could all work towards the goal of the Merkin Challenge
Partner 1: 10 Walkout Merkins (“walk out” on your hands to plank, merkin, walk back towards your feet = 1 rep)
Partner 2: Holds plank (5 rounds each = 50 merkins/man)
These were arm/shoulder killers
(Total Merkins = 150)
200 LBCs:
P1 – LBC
P2 – Runs to far soccer goal by the fence (Approx. 100 yards) and back
300 Squats:
P1 – Squats
P2 – Runs to far soccer goal by the fence and back
Bonus Time: Since I was keeping count of the merkins… the PAX were so happy to hear that we still had 50 more to go
100 Merkins: since we were all pretty gassed, Buffett suggested some “reverse air merkins” where we just lie on our 6 and air press. Tempting, but no. Modified to Carolina dry docks instead.
Partner 1: 10 Carolina Dry Docks
Partner 2: Holds plank (5 rounds each)
(Total Merkin Count =200!)
5 Min. of Mary:
All took turns keeping count as I named the exercise
Brownbag – 25 In and Outs
Boxcar – 25 Seated bicycles with arms up
Buffett – 25 Crunchy Frogs
Texas Ranger – Took up Buffett’s earlier suggestion and we all held legs 6” and knocked out 25 air presses. Probably should call these “Buffetts” from now on
Finished with some Supermans to throw in a Vitamin D favorite
Time!

Announcements: Still looking for some paddlers for the Dragon Boat. YHC just committed, so look forward to me trying to recruit the rest of you. P200 needs some volunteers to drive.
Prayer requests: Lot of PAX travelling this weekend.
BOM by YHC
Moleskin: Great push and effort by all! Only had 4, but the mumble chatter and encouragement was fantastic. Thank you brothers!
Aye!
