Today is YHC’s 19th wedding anniversary, so I wanted to start my day right with a good beatdown. My M had bought me a 12 sided die with an exercise listed on each face & I thought today would be a good day to break it out.

A number of the pax are also doing the F3 Cherokee 5,000 merkins in May. Einstein & Spike were able to arrange an invite to their Google sheet, so I made sure that there were plenty of merkins on the menu.

The warmup was mostly stretches and loosening up while we waited for the DJ to find the right Pearl Jam station. ElToro is obsessed with “Black” right now and we all agree that there are worse vices to have.

The thang was simple and effective.

Round 1: 10 merkins, roll the die for the exercise, run up the hill

Round 2: 10 merkins, roll the die, 10 merkins, roll the die, run up the hill

Round 3: 10 merkins, roll the die, 10 merkins, roll the die, 10 merkins, roll the die, run up the hill

The best part was when 30 merkins came up on the die, so we have to bust out 50 total.

After about 7 rounds of that, we moseyed the loop & recovered with a wall sit.

Next came 5 incline merkins followed by 5 dips, 4 times. Then 5 diamond merkins followed by 10 Freddie Mercuries, 4 times.

After that was one more loop followed by 30 merkins to take our beatdown total to 250.

CoT for Humboldt’s baby girl, Einstein’s sister, Spike’s son graduated college & daughter had prom the same weekend & to remember the good times.

Peace, Love, Recycle
