Hold it now

15 strong at Folsom for some Dora, some core work, and some Merkin holds.  Here’s what I remember:

The Thang:

• 10 x SSH (IC)
• 10 x Imperial Walkers (IC)
• 10 x Goofballs (IC)
• 5 x Burpees (OYO)
• 10 x Dying Cockroaches (IC)
• 10 x Scissor Kicks (IC)
• 10 x Mike Tysons (IC)

Mosey to the first loop, up the road, but far short of the flagpole

Dora 1-2-3

• 100 x Crab Marches
• 200 x Superman Pull-ups
• 300 x Monkey Humpers

Other partner runs a loop that was a little shy of 0.2 miles

Grunting in the pull-ups, grumbling during the Monkey Humpers, YHC figured we were on the right track.  YHC had Wirenut as a partner and didn’t have to do any of the Crab Marches because they were already done upon return from first run.  Good stuff.

• 5 x Burpees (OYO)
• 15 x Oblique Crunches L (IC)
• 15 x Oblique Crunches R (IC)
• 15 x Crunchy Frogs (IC)
• 15 x American Hammers (IC)
• 15 x Flutter Kicks (IC)

And we were off to our next stop.

Mosey to the flagpole for the pledge, then step across the road to that loop for the next dumb idea

New partners, but this time we break the Merkin into 3 positions:

• Low – From plank position, do the first part of the merkin, but just don’t come up.  Stay there, nose inches from the ground and beards touching it.
• Mid – From plank position, drop down to where your elbows are around 90 degrees and hold.  Same depth as unnamed PAX doing merkins.
• High – Standard High Plank

So Partner 1 holds, while Partner 2 runs the loop, which is a little more than 0.1 mile.

• Round 1
  • Partner 1 – Hold Low
  • Partner 2 – Run
  • Switch
• Round 2
  • Partner 1 – Hold Mid
  • Partner 2 – Run
  • Switch
• Round 3
  • Partner 1 – Hold High
  • Partner 2 – Run
  • Switch

Strong push from the PAX on this one.  YHC was paired with Wichita, and he was crushing it.  Shoutout to Bedpan on this one too.  We weren’t done.

• 5 x Burpees (OYO)
• 15 x Oblique Crunches L (IC)
• 15 x Oblique Crunches R (IC)
• 15 x Crunchy Frogs (IC)
• 15 x American Hammers (IC)
• 15 x Flutter Kicks (IC)

Oh look, there’s enough time for 1 more round!  Let’s see which one to pick?

• Round 4
  • Partner 1 – Hold Low
  • Partner 2 – Run
  • Switch

Time to head back to the flag.  Shout out to Wirenut and Beetle Bailey who brought in the Six without stopping all the way back from the flagpole.
