Some mumblechatter going on … yes this is just the warm-up

The Thang:

Run-n-Railroads

Cones-n-Biscuits

  • Bear-muda Triangle (combines YHC’s 2 least favorite things: bear crawls & burpees) – 3 cones about 15 yards apart. Bear crawl to cone #1, then 1 burpee. Bear Crawl to cone #2, then 2 burpees. Go all the way up to 10 cones and 10 burpees.
  • Earn Yo Biscuit (YHC named this one) – 4 cones set up in the shape of a big biscuit (about 40 yards by 15 yards). Mosey on the short sides and Sprint on the longer sides, after lap #1, do 5 hand release merkins, Continue for 4 rounds, while adding 5 more merkins (i.e., 5, 10, 15, 20).

Super proud of you guys for pushing it and working hard the entire time

Ring-o-Fire

  • Howling Monkeys – we started with 2 Pax at opposite ends, 10 monkey humpers, then the next person goes. 4 times around. *Penalty of 20 burpees if one side caught up to the other. Luckily for the Pax that it didn’t happen.
  • Wave of Merkins – get into plank, then 1st person merkin, then the next person and so on. Gets back to the start and add another merkin. We went up to 5 rounds.
