The Vern

All All MECA Backblasts

December 10th, 2015 By Dingo

18 men from Tradition and The Precinct came out for physical and mental challenge…..The Vern!

Much to @Dutch’s disgust we bypassed the typical warmup and got straight to the business end of this bad boy!

3/4 mile run

  1. 10 x Burpees (No Pull up bars for a while)
  2. Run 200yards
  3. 20 x Dips
  4. Run 200yards
  5. 25 x Merkins
  6. Run 200yards
  7. 30 x LBC
  8. Run 200yards
  9. REPEAT X 5

Run 3/4 mile

Thats all we had time for.

The Vernian Moleskin;

  1. Great to see our Precinct brothers at our monthly convergence!
  2. Jumanji was the obvious standout this morning!  This running workout definitely played to his strengths and he thrived!
  3. There are mornings when I look around and am just impressed with the effort being put forth!  There was no stopping you guys!  Great work!
  4. Old Glory has been retired!  We will bring it out a couple times a year.  Moving forward, we are looking for a new WIB(Workout in a bag) or You Vs You workout to do each month.  Got an idea for a workout?  Send it to F3Tradition@gmail.com

    That was rough! But you guys were impressive!

    That was a tough workout but I enjoyed the challenge. It was great to see everyone pushing themselves. There was a noticeable lack of mumblechatter in exchange for a lot of huffing and puffing…..myself included.

    @Dingo- thanks for setting it up, good lead as always

    @Blindate- nice push to complete this thing. I thought I might have stuck with you but then you literally ran away…across the street & that was the end of that.

    I didn’t do the end lap……that part was frustrating but now that I’ve got a “mark” to hit it would be cool to see where I land next time. Regretting all the time moseying at the end of each cycle instead of pushing just a little more…

    Inspired by all but that’s every day, with our Pax. Everyone worked hard today.

    Enjoyed it. Enjoyed just being out there and able to run with the Pax. @dingo – is it a mystery or what does “VERN” stand for? Perhaps I missed that. Also, perhaps we should brand this new challenge as the “Running of the Vern” with our goal being to encourage Pax who did not participate today or future Pax to get them out of bed and participating regardless of their physical shape for this fun monthly event. Kind of like the Running of the bulls in Spain! Celebrate participation.

    That sucked… When’s the next one!?
    My lungs hips and knees didn’t seem to want to cooperate today.
    At least I could enjoy the other pax tearing it up. #respectthewarmup

      As we all know @dutch is an F3Addict! That said he has read the F3 Bible, which states “Pax should arrive to the workout already warmed up, so you can get the most out of your 45min workout”.

    Book? Read? What? I thought this stuff was all written on a white napkin over a couple of beers one night… No warm up? Jillian always warms up in her beatdowns.
