Tha Thang:
YHC brought this Hero workout to the gloom this morning. No splashing of Merlot. Just a lot of PAX suffering through this grinder.
40 Burpees – 400 meter Run
80 Merks – 400 meter Run
120 Walking Lunges – 400 meter Run
160 Air Squats – 400 meter Run
120 Walking Lunges – 400 meter Run
80 Merks – 400 meter Run
40 Burpees – 400 meter Run
But wait, there’s more. For the PAX that was in first place after the run had to do 25 weighted step ups (50#) on a 20” step. Note: Last year’s bleachers were only 17 inches. Gilligan is a beast and did the step ups twice during the entire evolution.

Chad1000X challenge on Nov 11. Today’s workout had an element of step ups to remind everyone to do some training in the next few weeks.
