If you don’t know by now, The Fort will be conducting the Annual Memorial Day Murph at NAFO high school (The Coop and Varsity AO). This is a great opportunity to work out with The PAX to honor our service men and women. Post to your regular AO, then head over to NAFO for the double-down. In addition to the workout, there will be awards handed out to those who perform at the top of the group.
However, there is one award that perked my ears, the Funhouse Pull Up award. I assumed this award was for the PAX who increased their pull up count exponentially from the last go around (go search the last Fitness Test). This was not the case. ‘Casa de diversion’ (modified pull-up version aka the FUNHOUSE award)….. “Don’t fall short, if you cannot or do not have a vest at least strive to perform your pull-ups without variation or as we stated above – try not to perform a #Funhouse so start working on those pull-ups today – you have time!” So yes, YHC likes to modify. Especially a freaking pull up. So why not “modify” the MURPH with a typical “FunHouse FunRun”? Call it a triple-down.
So if you’re not afraid of modifying (CSPAN I see your “burpees” so I KNOW you love to modify) join me for this THANG:
Memorial Day – Monday, May 30th 0430
Start (Leg #1): 0430 at Trailhead Park in Tega Cay for a run to Flight Plan (Baxter Startbucks) ~ 4.2 miles
Leg #2: Flight Plan 0515 (YHC the Q) – I will find a suitable 4.5 mile loop that will get everyone ready to go do the MURPH- Total so far ~ 8.7 miles
Leg #3: Run to NAFO 0600 – There will be little time for COT at Flight Plan for those on the #FunRun, so I may hand this off to someone staying behind. We must get on our horses and head out to make the 5.5 miles to NAFO in 50 minutes before the MURPH starts. The route is down 160 and take a left on 21 and then a right on 460 to NAFO. – Total so far ~ 14.2 miles
Leg #4: The MURPH – 1 mile run, 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats and a final 1 mile run. Ugh. So final total mileage ~ 16.2 miles
So join YHC to “modify” your typical day.
