7 HIM men posted for the PT test at Folsom.  YHC marked off the 1/4 loop which went around the kids play area and the soccer field.  Trying to avoid incline as much as possible.  Westside was already there getting 3 miles in for EC.  Ponyboy showed up shortly thereafter wearing his mid December clothes.  (At least he left the beanie and scarf at home)  After a brief warmup of the exercises to be completed as well as a 1/4 mosey around the course, Oompa began the test.

For those who have never done this, it consists of a 1/4 mile lap and then 4 exercises Merkins, Squats, LBCs and SSH.    Start with a 1/4 run then 100 of each exercise followed by a lap, then  75 of each then another lap, 50 of each exercise, another lap and 25 of each and then 1 mile run for time.  This gives a total of 250 reps of each and 2 miles of running. According to Oompa results are as follows:

Sarlac 47:04

Westside 40:32

Defib 33:00

Volt 45:54

Ponyboy 43:00

Balljoint 52:12 (who I believe did one arm Merkins!)

No one in this group slacked on any of it – lots of gassed pax at the end

Prayers for the Guffey family, Westsides father-in-law, Pockets tying the knot 2 weeks, PB’s patient, Turtleman’s family

Thanks to Ponyboy to allow me to Q even though I do not own a truck or have a beard!

Until next time
