With the Murph around the corner and the Spartan in less than 2 months, I thought it would be good to focus on both with plenty of merkins and burpees and moseying. 4 of us posted at 5am for 2.4 mile EBS. Then on to the beatdown.
Conditions: humid, 72, slightly overcast, breeze out of the west at 4mph.
Kicked off at 5:30 sharp. Disclaimers agreed to so we hit it.
Warm Ups: the usual parade of stretched from the top down, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillys, then on the ground for Mtn Climbers, Peter Parkers. On to 3 THANGS!
Mosey around the park through the trees…
Thang 1
3 Minute Dead Hang from Hell: 3 minute timer starts the dead hang for at least one minute, then as long as you can. If (when) you drop, then do 6 burpees and back up for more deadhanging… rinse/repeat

The Burpee Mound: Line up at the 100′ mound in the west field of the park. Do 1 Burpee then scramble over to the other side of the mound and do another burpee. Go back and forth until you’ve completed 20. Seems harmless enough – until you get to 12 or 13 burpees at which point the mound becomes a hill. Turns the screws on your endurance level. We all battled and finished. Great team work, great to see the encouragement and support in our group.
Mosey through the trees to the basketball court…

11’s: 10 merkins to 1 WWII’s, then mosey to the other side for 9 merkins to 2 WWII’s…

All good. Tired. A little sore. Great way to start the day! It was a privilege to lead.
