The Q tempted Sparrow out with the possibility of frivolity. What he didn’t mention was that we were starting with a Bataan Death March around the Crunch Mile! Single file mosey, last PAX drops and does 3 burpees then sprints to the front. Everyone got at least two sets of burpees.
We reconvened at the flag, picked up sleds, and headed to the base of Hoffa.
The PAX were separated into groups of 3. Each group had to complete 150 merkins, 300 BBSU, and 450 squats. Two PAX performed reps while the third ran up Hoffa and slid (sledded?) back down. Some did more reps than others, some spent more time sledding.
Once all the reps were complete, the Q called a Manrise (Sledrise?) PAX carried sleds to the top with the anticipation of sliding down. However, the Q decided we needed some more burn first. PAX formed a ring in plank position and performed the Merkin ring of fire (PAX hold plank, Q starts with 1 merkin, each subsequent PAX performs N+1 merkins until all have merkined. Round two was Q starting at 10 merkins, PAX perform N-1 merkins until back to start). Then all headed down on sleds or penguin slide. As we were near our time, we repeated the Sledrise minus the ring of fire before returning to the flag. Q then called 1 min Al Gore to wrap things up.
Moleskin: Almost one year ago the PAX of F3 Knoxville lost one of their men, Cardinal, during his VQ. Life is precious, don’t take it for granted.
