The BackBlast:
Q: Bunsen
PAX: Legs, Flo, Scarecrow, Wiener Dog, Disco, Topless, Bunsen
FNGs: None
COUNT: 7
The abduction stage was set with an extra gloomy scene: all night a nasty little mist that was starting to let up as we finished our EC ruck. YHC was not very confident how the timing would work out, given the movement and squats had so many variations for PAX to push themselves. Only one way to find out!!!
WARMUP:
SSH x 15 IC
Merkins x 10 IC
String Rippers x 10 IC
Sun Gods x 10 IC forward; x 10 IC backward
PAX gathered rucks and sandbags and moseyed over to the “track” where we would do our runs/rucks.
THE THANG:
The MANION WOD framework is as follows:
– 7 rounds
– 400 m run/ruck
– 29 squats
The run could be run slick or PAX could put weight on and ruck the distance. The prescribed weight in the challenge is 135 lbs. PAX are encouraged to squat a weight that is challenging yet safe. FWIW, there were wide ranging weights done. And roughly 50/50 on slick running vs. rucking.
MARY:
Moseyed back to the shovel flag for some Mary.
American Hammers x 15 IC
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
Blessings and encouragement to lean on one another to be lifted up.
