A 6-Pax posted this morning in what were excellent conditions for a morning beat down.  Breezy, clear and comfortable temps.  The crescent moon rising over the Neuse River Bridge was outstanding.  Flanksteak-approved protocol was maintained with 6 ft. distancing all around.  Assistant Q not needed today (sort of hoping Schrute would have posted – “Assistant to the Q”).  Warm Up with a slow mosey around the block.  Gather for

THE THANG 

• From starting line, all Pax sprint approximately 60 yards
• Perform 1 set of either Wide Merkins, Regular Merkins, or Diamond Merkins, 10x, Rotate variety each time down
• Walk back to starting line
• Rinse & Repeat 30x  (2 stealth 20 counts disguised as Cotton Pickers, IC, 10x worked in periodically)

• LSF, IC, 20x

Long-distance Count-O-Rama, Name-O-Rama & Prayer

Stats/Info: 

• Around the block mosey = approx. 0.2 miles
• 30 sprints of 60 yards = 1800 yards = 5400 ft = 1.023 miles covered at full gallop
• 30 walk-backs of same distance = 1.023 miles covered at walking pace
• Total distance traversed:  approx. 2.246 miles
• 300 total merkins (100 each of Wide, Regular & Diamond)
• Fresh Air consumed & processed: A whole freakin’ lot of  cubic feet

Thanks to the men who posted.  We prayed for the rest of you (no snark, it was sincere).

Aye!

 

P.S.  Still looking for the Backblast from last week’s Point …

14 men put in the work this morning at The Point.  Near freezing temps so no stretching, right into a mosey in front of the convention center for a raccoon crawl.  Partner up for a 3-Burpee Catch Me If You Can in a figure 8 around Craven/Middle/Pollock/S Front.  City blocks are smaller on paper and in my head.  Mosey to the riverfront near the circle for some back work:

• 15 Overhand Inverted Rows x 2
• 20 Box Squats x 2
• 20 LBCs
• 15 Underhanded Inverted Rows x 2
• 20 Box Jumps x 2
• 20 LBCs
• 15 Face Pulls x 2
• 20 Bulgarian Split Squats x 2

To the field for Spiderman Lunges and Lunges with Torso Rotation.  Mosey toward gazebo for 20 Calf Raises IC and Mary, 20 of each:

• Mountain Climbers
• Freddie
• LBC
• LSF
• Imperial Walkers
• Hillbillies

 

Cold, WINDY, and no snow at Point so we headed to the covered area behind the Convention Center to do the Alphabet Workout (American Hammers, BerpMerk…). II Fingers showed up on letter H after running around Downtown looking for us.

• WHAT: The Point
• WHERE: Union Point
• WHEN: 2/21 5:30
• WHO: Any man or FNG
• WEATHER: Snow
• WHY: Because we rarely get to work out in the snow.
• PREVIEW: But seriously, we will likely stay under the Gazebo for most of the workout!

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13 (KJV) While no one laid down his life for another (well, perhaps Unicorn’s back counts a little) we each chose to spend the early morning hours on Valentine’s Day challenging each other and pushing ourselves.
