Crazy 21s

WARMUP: it’s minnow pond. So, no

THE THANG:
Fast pace 3.75ish miles stopping to do Super 21s.

That’s 1 merkin, 1 squat, 2 merkins, 2 squats, etc. up to 21 merkins, 21 squats. 231 total reps: n(n-1)/2 is the formula if you want it.

Did this back in 2019 https://f3thefort.com/2019/12/19/super-21s-at-minnow-pond/ it sucked then too.

MARY: a little with the 45 seconds remaining when we returned to COT

NMM: listen, every man that posted today is already trying. Sometimes it’s not enough just to try. We have to find ways to be better. Maybe that’s working with more intensity, maybe that’s eating better, maybe that’s resting smarter, maybe that’s speaking kindly to your children… but whatever it is, if you’re already trying and you need better, find a way.

It’s 2025, MEN of The Fort it is time to thrive

Bearded Wonder Takes On The Pond

NASA asked me to Q Minnow Pond about a month ago and I accepted forgetting that I had Lake Haigler 12 hour 2 days afterwards. The plan was to take the Minnows to the trails and get some miles there but that will have to wait for another time to do that. It had rained the night before and there were a lot of leaves on the trails. Didn’t want someone to do a Superman like Dark Helmet did last time I Q’d here.

Took the fellas to Harris Street Park and as Strava describes it Harris Street Hell Hills. It’s almost a mile to the park from Veterans Park so keep that in mind for future Q’s.

We did hill repeats each way with 10 hand release merkins at the middle, 10 monkey Humpers at top of one side Harris Street and 10 Sumo Squats at Harris/21 Hill. Most got close to 4 miles total.

Had a group of guys carrying around fancy book bags filled with styrofoam peanuts and a few had actual weights in them. Maximus,Rebound,Dark Helmet,Farmers Only,Spider-Man, Crystal Lake, Wooden Leg and Anchorman all rucked I’ll let you decide who had peanuts and who had weight.
