QIC: Greenspan
Date: 12/13/19
PAX: Post Hole, Lamb Chop, Cheesesteak, Chisel, $5 Footlong
Five pax answered the bell to find a nice warm, parking deck to shield them from the school-disrupting elements.
Warmarama, all IC:
After a short mosey to the 5th Street parking deck, Normal Greenspan mix getting all the limbs loose. We then explored the deck to establish the boundaries for team Merry Murphmas with two groups of three pax!
The Thang:
Partner A does pull ups & squats under train tracks;
Partner B runs up a level of parking deck
Partner C does merkins and squats on level 2 of deck
Each pax keeps count of their reps as they build to a cumulative 100 pull ups, 200 merkins, 300 squats.
Mary:
Alphabet
Low Dolly
Plank & merkin combo
Finished.

NMM:
- YHC pulled into the first parking place at 0522 with $5 Footlong in close pursuit. $5’s 4-Runner blocked from view the arrival of the anticipated Cheesesteak and the unanticipated trio of Chisel, Post Hole, and Lamb Chop. T-claps to all for getting up in miserable weather and chasing the king.
- Two trains passed during the ~40 minutes we were in the deck. YHC is a coward and refused to continue pull ups under the trestle while the train was passing; it didn’t faze others.
- Not sure why, but YHC was taken aback by the short-sleeves that adorned Chisel. Dude is truly stainless-steel metal, and a Murph was barely a warm up for him.
- Post Hole arrived in a shiny new truck, which is a replacement for his shiny new truck. He powered through the workout in 4-wheel drive.
- Lamb Chop came decked out in rain gear and expressed his sincere appreciation for locating the proceedings in a relatively-dry deck. He and Post Hole decided that running up the parking deck was insufficient, so they put it in reverse gear. Thanks, guys.
- $5 was the constant encourager and decided to disregard the separation of merkins & squats in favor or all-out burpees. No one else jumped on that train.
- Cheesesteak, as usual, decided the called exercises weren’t sufficient, so spent his pull up time climbing cables with his full body weight. He was kind enough to point out a dry overhang for Mary.
- YHC kept waiting for HOG, but fortunately he also had some HIMs join him for OGs/Tractors. Despite the weather, it was a good morning to be out together.
- Thanks for the keys, Cheesesteak. They are hanging on the trestle.
