Variations on the Merkin

Event Date

Mar 10, 2017


9 pax decided that a thunderstorm was not going to get in the way of improving their fitness and starting Friday off with a workout and coffee.  Merkins were on the menu, and merkin sub-totals are shown in parentheses.

Welcome FNG JR Pelletier and great job!  He showed lots of courage starting F3 on a morning like this.

Moleskin

  • Thanks to Landline for the opportunity to lead at The General.  We covered a few quick facts on General Westmoreland during circle of trust.  YHC was out of breath and could not present this information during the workout.
  • The Pax thought JR showed with beer in hand donning Bermuda shorts.  The beer was coconut water.  Bermuda shorts were bermuda shorts. There could be a nickname brewing.
  • Moses was accused of selecting a small rock from the rock pile, but YHC had the chance to use said rock.  It was on fleek.  Moses just made the rock appear small.
  • Deepdish does not like to go all the way down during full curls. Who knew?
  • Mountain Climber Merkins have a decent suck factor.
  • Where were the Birkdale Clown Car brothers?  Maybe they were at Auto’s birthday Q.  Happy Birthday Auto!
