The Thang
Each lap consists of running south to the top of the levee, crossing canal (bear crawling the neutral ground), running south to the bottom of the levee, cross canal and run north to the top of the levee, cross canal (bear crawling the neutral ground), running north down the levee and back across canal to the starting point. At the starting point you do a descending burp and merk pyramid starting at 8 (bupee with 8 merkins, burpee with 7 merkins, …..burpee with 1 merkin)
At the end of the 2nd lap the burp and merk pyramid starts at 7, etc.
The goal is to complete 8 laps in 40 minutes. According to MapMyRun, each loop is approximately 0.4 miles. Therefore, to conquer the H8! you will have to do the following in 40 minutes:
- Run over 3 Miles of Hills
- 550 Yards of Bear Crawls
- 36 Burpees
- 120 Merkins
We did AMRAP and then moseyed back to the flag.

- 5 of the 12 participants #ConqueredH8! That’s a pretty good percentage.
- Welcome to Cowbell and Nip/Tuck, the two newest members of H8! club.
- Nip/Tuck is the first Uptowner to #ConquerH8!
- SOGO showed up 6 minutes late, or he would have conquered. #DontBeL8.
- Now that Cowbell has done it, I fully expect to see him standing across Lakeshore Dr. in flip flops with a Pina Colada in his hand observing the next one.
Shorty suggested that #ConquerH8! become the new social motto for the world. There’s a lot of hate in the world today and this has been are rough few months. So let’s keep growing this thing. There were thousands of men this morning that committed to making themselves better, and that’s some good news for the world. Keep at it. #ConquerH8!
7 laps for me. That’s up a 1/2 lap from last time and 1-1/2 laps from the first time. Looking forward to knocking out 8 next go round.
Only was able to get 6 1/2 laps but it’s up from 5 laps. Progress, not perfection!
