Thirty Four pax showed up in the Petra gloom for a slow-burn with the Sapper! Although four pax went for a 4-6 mile mosey, the remaining pax commenced with the program.  We were fortunate to have one FNG a.k.a “F3Gracie” to join in the suffrage! After a quick disclaimer and demonstration of skills needed to accomplish the workout it began. The theme of the day was to honor the core values and physical abilities of SGT David Franks based on his actions in Ghazni, Afghanistan.
The Warm-up: We conducted the overhead arm-pull stretch, the windmill, Moroccan Night Clubs, SSH’s and some Merkins.

The Thang:  We started with a short mosey around the Petra AO that led us to the Wall of Pain for the workout to begin. Upon negotiation of the obstacle, we broke into three-man teams and performed a two-man battle carries for a distance of about 100m. We then conducted an additional round of Merkins while waiting for the six to arrive. We then continued to mosey down to additional (and higher) Walls of Pain. Upon negotiating those, we continued to mosey back to the AO where we conducted additional rounds of Merkins, Wide-arm Merkins, Staggered Merkins, Carolina Dry Docks Monkey Humpers and finally, the Wave of Merkins. We ended with a slow-burn of LBCs while we waited for the runners to return
