Who’s Gonna Carry the Boats?
I have gained a bit of a reputation over the years of not being hard to talk into things, so when there was a challenge of doing fritter (post at Possum Trot, Disney, and Crazy Ivan with at least 2 mile EC runs before each workout) with 4 mile EC runs I was pretty quick to jump onboard. Unfortunately, I did so without knowing that a tropical storm was going to be dumping rain on us for those 3 days. The feeling was well summed up by a text from Skidmark at 0431 stating “Worst idea ever” as we began our commute to Disney under absolutely pelting rain. As Goggins says – “suffering is the true test of life.”
The rain kept up throughout the 4 mile EC, at one point just fully peltering us around mile 3 (right when most men would’ve decided to stay in the fart sack instead of coming out to the boot camp) tapering off to a slight drizzle by the end. We navitaged the confusing neighborhood EC run thanks to the course on our watches and came upon Nemo running EC on our way back to the AO.
Sadly no other cars showed up. 0530 hit and we were off – I knew we needed the full 45 minutes if we were going to go the distance.

An homage to a classic that Deadbolt introduced me to years ago – 10 rounds with Tyson. However, we stayed in the meetup parking lot and worked the 4 corners there in the hopes that we would finally make all 10 rounds. Exercises at each corner were:
Round 1 – Standard Merkins
Round 2 – Jump Squats
Round 3 – Pickle Pounders
Round 4 – Turkish Getups
Round 5 – Burpees
Round 6 – Diamond Merkins
Round 7 – Star Jumps
Round 8 – Prisoner Squats
Round 9 – Peeping Lipstick (Turkish Getup on the down, Star Jump on the up)
Round 10 – Double Merkin Burpees
We stayed together and finished with time for 3 minutes of mary.
