The Tour de Fort Mill: Where Burpees Meet Churches and Açaí Dreams

I rolled up this morning and was surprised to see so many pax already there with five minutes to spare. Hopped out of the vehicle to find we had an FNG in attendance. At 6:30am, I gave the disclaimer and we started the workout:

Warm-up:
– 10 Chain breakers
– 10 Italian night clubs
– 5 Side Straddle Hops

7. Run to Maui Açai Food Truck
– Wait for the six, then 15 monkey humpers in cadence

8. Run to the bottom of Massey St
– Nured up the hill to the entrance to the parking lot

Once at the entrance, we lunge-walked across the parking lot, headed for the transmission line, but I called an audible due to the time and we ran to COT.

Overall, we achieved 3 miles.

Announcements:

– Hog & Coyote on 6/15

Prayers and Praises:
– Loss of Dark Helmet’s father, Frank
– Kids graduating
– A friend going through a nasty divorce

Great job to everyone who participated today! Let’s keep pushing and supporting each other. Aye!

Ladders, sandbags and Merkins

WARMUP: Moroccan night clubs, windmills, hillbilly walk
THE THANG: divided the pax into two 4 men teams, two ladders, plenty of sandbags… loaded up the two ladders with 2×60# sandbags each, picked them up, sat the ladders on shoulders and started walking; a timer will go off every two minutes to remind us to do 10 merkins with rucks on. Pick up and the ladders and go around the soccer field, big loop, every time the buzzer went off (2 minutes) we did 10 merkins, completed one big loop and dropped the sandbags and transformed the ladders on A frames, 1 pax will carry the ladder overhead or on shoulders and go around the small loop while the other 3 pax will toss the 60# sandbag until the ladder comes back around, switch ladder to next pax, each pax had the opportunity to go around twice. The buzzer reminded us of the 10 merkins every 2 minutes.
Opened up the ladders again and this time we loaded them up with 160# each, farmers carry around the small loop, buzzer every two minutes for 10 merkins each time.
