Conditions: 69 F & 73% RH
Scratchy throat. Not the best night of sleep. Promised some H8! practice. Let’s go.
5:28am and concerned my warning of what was to come would scare the PAX off. Out of the gloom comes the creHater (creater of the H8!) himself, @Hawgcycle. He quickly warned YHC that my advertisement of H8! practice may not have been the best pitch. Yea yea, I know that now. In the next minute three more brave PAX arrived. I quickly discovered that none of those three were aware of the preblast provided, including @Hand Grenada who claims the government doesn’t allow him to have the Slack app.
Short mosey to the field. Normal warmup consisted of AV, GG, PPP, MC, TF, FT, SSH.
Since only @Mr. Rogers was present for the first Metry H8! practice last month, directions were provided. Shortly after, we were off to the races…
6 laps was the goal
We started on the south side of the bleachers.
Each lap consists of running north snaking the bleachers to the far side, bear crawling to the steps of the gym, run a lap around the gym, bear crawling back to the north side of the bleachers, snaking the bleachers back to the starting point on the south side. At the start, descending burp and merk pyramid starting at 6 (burpee and 6 hand release merkins, burpee and 5 hand release merkins… burpee and 1 hand release merkin).
Rinse and repeat, going down the ladder.
• Run over 2 miles of bleachers/stairs
• 420 yards of bear crawls
• 21 burpees
• 56 merkins
Mumblechatter was kept to a minimum as everyone was pushing hard till the finish. We were reminded that most workouts are as much about mental toughness as they are about physical ability. Push yourself but don’t hurt yourself.
Some love it.
Some H8! it.
It was hard, but we showed up and gave it our all.
10/17 H8! practice at #Okwata (not entire time)
10/24 H8! is back at #Okwata thanks to @Pinewood
