After my last Q at the mountain, someone who shall not be named (cough Saban cough) commented that we didn’t run the mountain enough. I pondered this comment and Saban’s brave decision to challenge me in preparation for this workout.
Four strapping Pax started the workout with a light warmup before moseying to the mountain. Things started off light with 2×30 rounds of LBCs, penguins, and American Hammer.
Next came the fun. We did a modified suicide style workout going up the mountain. We ran to the first light post, did 10 of a workout, then ran back down to do 3 burpees. We then ran to the second and third light post in the same manner adding 10 reps to the exercise at hand. The exercises consisted of merkins, squats, dips, and BBSU. Some say Catfish even smiled at the realization of how many burpees would be done.
After that, we moseyed back to the jogging path for some catch me if you can. Everyone partnered up. While one partner did 5 merkins and 5 diamond merkins, the other ran backwards. After the merkins were completed, the partner chased down his backwards running colleague, and they switched roles. After a few rounds of that, the group moseyed back to the flag and planked until 6:15. Those who were absent were noted, and they will get to experience this heaven in the near future.
