Highland Road Park. Hot & Humid
Looking at the F3 Nation list of exercises Friday night, Bear Mountain Merkins and Burpee Mile looked like good ideas. The next morning, in the heat and humidity, with the steep hills and many stickers of the Knoll, the degree of difficulty exceeded expectations and “good” may not apply.

Bad Idea #1: Bear Mountain Merkins – Partnered up, one man runs down the hill, performs 5 merkins and Bear Crawls back up whilst partner does Mountain Climber Merkins (or squats if merkin quota has been exceeded) 10 reps seemed like a good idea but 5 reps turned out to be a better idea.
Bad Idea #2: Burpee Mile – With total disregard for Pax’s aversion to running any significant distance, on 1/4 mile flat open course either side of creek, start with 5 burpees, run the 1/4, do 5 burpees, cross creek for 5 more burpees and run back to start for 5 more burpees. Rinse and Repeat once more for one mile and 35 burpees

With YHC recovering from bad idea #2, SideFX took over for side planks – done for an eternity on left arm , then right. Excessive reps of heel touches crunched up on six and, finally Freddie Mercury’s until we cried.
