Good Morning fellas!

A PAX of 8 challenged the cold start at a mere 15 degrees this morning to get the racetrack kicked off right for 2018. Dr. Smart, Black Widow, Too Tall, Harvey Updike, Veggie Mite, Umbrella, Olan Mills, & Offshore (Q) started off the new year with the Murph challenge.

The PAX made a quick mozy down Maryland Way to get the blood pumping for the first 1.0 piece of the Murph. Some of the PAX may have thought the cold got to the Q and confused the racetrack for smokeboots. The PAX then gathered on the racetrack to continue the defrosting process. SSHx10, BACx10 then reverse, Willie Mays Hays x 10, Michael Phelps x 10, & squats x10 all in cadence.

At this point the real work began, the PAX partnered off to attack the Murph of 100 pull ups, 200 merkins, & 300 squats in sets of 10, 20, 30. At this point the Q still frozen from Monday’s convergence had to remove the additional layers that were not needed after Monday’s frost bitten experience. The PAX completed 7 to 8 sets of the Murph before continuing the Mozy back down Maryland way for the remaining 1.0. The PAX then cooled down with flutter kicks x 30, American Hammers x 10, and Maria Carries x 10. Umbrella graced the group with a wonderful and much appreciated coffeeteria to round out the morning.
