In lieu of The Bear (sorry Cuddy), 8 pax decided to complete the Bridge Run and take back something that had been taken from us. Using proper social distancing, we began the run from the Dipper residence and ran to Front St and back for a 5k!
We were joined by Mr. Roboto, Bitcoin, and Plan B to cheer on the runners as they ALL completed the race. Well done to all!
7 men posted on this beautiful spring morning to start their day. While maintaining an adequate distance from each other and with no FNG’s we jumped right in with…

We moseyed to the track and all safely crossed the higher than normal water at the bottom of the creek. We ran two laps with 25 Merkins before each. We then made our way to the end zone where we split into teams for a Dora .25-.50-1-2-3 comprised of 25 Burpups, 50 Lunges (each leg), 100 Merkins, 200 LBCs, & 300 Squats with a 100 yard run (50 down and 50 back) before switching. We then made our way back to the track where we completed our Merkin Mile (Wide Merkins this time) with a timed race for the last ¼ mile. 2 Fingers and Unicorn were well ahead of the pack with 2 Fingers clocking in with a Bear record time of 1 minute and 8 seconds (give or take a second or two). We then made our way to the covered area on the other side of the school. There we did 75 Calf Raises, 20 Dips, 20 WWII, 20 Bulgarian Split Squats, 20 Dips, 75 Calf Raises, & 20 Step ups. Since Winthorpe started cleaning his shoes YHC thought it only appropriate for take the longer road back to the front parking lot to keep any grass from getting on his shoes. After a few groans, we made it back just in time for a brief…

4 men posted on a beautiful Leap Day morning. While warming up YHC relayed a few fun facts. First, is that the Gregorian calendar specifies that there will be a leap year every year that is divisible by 4, UNLESS it is also divisible by 100, but not by 400, in which case it is not a leap year. The UNLESS is necessary to align calendar years with solar years because there are 365 days 5 hours and 48 minutes in a solar year which is slightly less than an even 365 days and 6 hours. Second fun fact. There is an Irish tradition dating from the 5th century that on leap day women are allowed to initiate dances and propose marriage. If the proposal is refused then the man was/is expected to buy a silk gown. After some mumble chatter we continued with…

We Moseyed to the track where we found 4 cones placed 50 yards apart in the shape of a diamond which was perfect for a 7 of Diamonds. We did the same exercise at each cone with the number of reps growing by 7 each round. We did 7 Burpees, 14 Merkins, 21 WWIIs, and 28 Squats. This gave us a total of 280 exercises with only 85 left. Merkins were selected with a ¼ run before each set of 20 with the first set having 5 extra to get to 365. We then found the goal post for 5 pull ups, before making our way to the covered area for 48 Calf Raises to complete the “year”. At the covered area we also did 20 Dips, 20 Step Ups, 15 Irkins, & 10 Derkins before Lunging to the back for a few Raccoon Crawls before moseying to the front for….
