27 of us showed up on a cool September morning to see how quickly we could complete 100 burpees.
The Thang:
Mosey to back of Middle School for warmup
10 SSH
10 Merkins
10 Cotton Pickers
Mosey to baseball field
Welcome to the burpee challenge. 100 Burpees for time. 12 minute max
Mosey to RF – 1 minute Air Force Situps
Mosey to LF – 1 minute Merkins
Circle up for Progressions. 10 to 1. SSH, Squats, LBC and Merkins
Mosey back for Mary. Iron Cross challenge.
Moleskin:
I have been curious how long it would take me to do 100 Burpees. I do not like Burpees but figured at some point I needed to know the answer. Today was the day to find out.
After the burpees everything hurt. Hip Flexors went during the situps. Merkins for a minute was rough and squats during progressions were difficult.
Good job on the Iron Cross. Group lasted longer that I expected.
Little colder this morning. Saw a few long sleeve shirts, Conchito shows up in long sleeve shirts, pants and a hat. Can’t wait to see what he wears when it is 20 degrees outside.
We had some people show up late. Sorry if I did not get all of the names on this backblast. Please sound off in comments.
@ Pax – Who was the first to complete the burpee challenge today and do we know how quickly they completed it? Took me 10:30 to complete. Too slow. Will have to do it again at some point.
Felt like I was prepping for the Spartan race already!
I saw one of the other MECA locations talking about a HEC (Healthy Eating Challenge)… does Highlands do any of these?
You’re welcome to join in on ours. It’s not exclusive to tradition. We are starting another one on Momday. Send an email to F3tradition@gmail.com and I’ll include you in the info email
I think I finished up first… Followed closely by @Chopper. I think I was right around 6:30.
@Charmin – I can definitely add 100 burpees to my “things I hate list”!
One hundred burpees in 6:30?! That’s insane!!
Remember a year ago when Bootstrap tried to have the pax do 100 burpees straight up and there was a mutinity!!
