Due to all the recent changes that have taken place as a result of Covid-19, I figured what’s one more change, right? F3 has proven, if nothing else, to be very flexible with modifications to AOs and exercises. So instead of meeting at our newly baptized Monday AO in front of the Children’s Museum, I opted to meet at the House of Pain steps away from our usual Okwata AO. Tool (and some others) had previously installed 3 pull up bars so I figured with all the playgrounds still roped off this would be a good place to perform our Murph.

6 PAX met at the HoP, instructions were given for The Murph, timer was started, and off we went. For our 1 mile loop we simply ran along the lakefront/sidewalk towards Canal, U-turned to head back towards the pumping station, and then U-turned back towards the HoP. 100 pull-ups, 200 Merkins, and 300 squats were done. Then run another mile. In the midst of our exercises Gideon decided to join us for a few rounds during his morning run. And there was even a drive-by appearance by Hawgcycle and Rev Sox during their morning run.

Final times:

  • Saban 41:00
  • Sogo 41:20
  • Walleye 44:45
  • Catfish 45:30
  • Belloq 48:52
  • High Rise 50:00

After resting for a few minutes and drinking some water to hydrate (thanks Sogo), COT was done where we took time to remember those lost in the line of duty. Never forget!
