Why Don’t You Be OCD About Being on Time

No track work today. I guess guys love track work because only 3 bros showed up. Maybe guys are tired which doesn’t bode well for a potential solid BRR performance.

A challenge was placed to see if this would be harder than Paradise City on Monday. No one showed up for Tiger Blood, we’ll assume they were scared so Tiger Blood wins be default.

FNGs: None
Warm Up: 187 and I had to wait on Lipstick so we did a couple laps in the parking lot. SSH, merkins, and squats. Finally Lipstick was present so off we went.
The Workout:
Mosey over to Crossway climb with stops along the way for merkins and squats.
At the bottom of Crossway Climb – 5 merkins. Indian Run. At the first stop sign  5 merkins. At the top 1 burpee (just like the nipple)
Jail break down to the second street – Chrismill
At Chrismill 5 squats. Indian Run to the next street. 5 squats. Indian Run to top of Crossway Climb 1 burpee.
Jail break to the bottom of Crossway Climb.
Rinse and repeat 4x

Mosey back to the flag with stops for  5 merkins or 5 squats

At the parking lot we did loops. Start with 1 merkin, 1 squat, and 1 burpee. Run a loop. Stack all the way to 5, 5, 5 and then unstack.
