Modified Murph

All All MECA Backblasts

April 24th, 2017 By Gamma

Without a commitment to get stronger and to hold yourself and your F3 brothers accountable, it’s hard to get up at 0-dark-thirty to work out. It’s even harder knowing it’s going to be 50 degrees and raining. Five men showed their commitment this morning…..or just didn’t check the forecast.

YHC did a little recon before the workout to check conditions on our normal Murph route. The off-road portion was washed out, flooded and/or unstable. Even portions of the track were flooded and slick. Add the fact that most of it is unlit, we opted to keep the ankles safe and modify the route. These men had already shown they weren’t afraid of the rain, so their reward was a new route (albeit slightly longer and more elevation) and the shelter for the exercises.

~1.25 mile run up Stallings, over the bridge to 49 and back.
100 WWII Sit-ups (since no pull-up bars), or 100 Burpees if you’re Clueless
200 Mericans
300 Air Squats
~1.25 mile run

1. Strong work this morning. Like I said, not easy getting out there under those conditions.

2. Always the beast, Clueless crushed it with the Burpees.

3. Tclaps to Terrible Towel for not only committing to this early, but talking Spauldini into his first Murph. Great work by both Dawgs.

4. Thanks to Solo Cup for taking us out. Keep the prayers going for Escalade’s mom, Solo’s preacher’s daughter and Turbine’s niece.

Cheers!

    Thanks for not making me work out alone!

    The real men did 200 WWIIs and 25 Burpees

      My fault – didn’t realize that, probably because you knocked out the burpees before I even got back!

    Great morning to put some work in!

    #TClaps on the pre-ruck @Gamma! As I was trying to catch you on the 2nd run, I was thinking… man, he’s got a rucket booster in that jet pack. #Strong

    Got to admit… I was #surprised when @SoloCup rolled up just before launch… you know, because of the melting and all. But the #MeanStride he had walking to the shelter continued on for a solid self-motivated push w/ extra credit.

    #NoQuit in @TerribleTowel! Pushing through hernia surgery recovery and coming back strong. Maybe working off some of the 2.0 steam from yesterday??

    @Spauldini, yes of the now known self-named Spauldini clan, left it all out there too. Way to work!
