The Thang
Mosey on over to our favorite inclined dirt mound, aka one tree hill, only YHC was looking for something a little different today. Something nice and wide, well lit, and maybe even with a little plateau on top. Who knows? Maybe we’ll get lucky! ….spoiler alert—we did!
This routine was called “burp back mountain” in which the Pax partner up and together set out to complete 100 burpees. The catch, One man doing burpees and another man running backwards up the hill, then back down the hill facing forward and then switch. Honestly this took our intense and grizzly Pax much less time than anticipated. No matter, there’s always more.
On to next routine which was a version of the spartan called the “broke back merkin”. Partners run up the hill together at a sprint, then immediately drop into a partner merkin with one mans heavy legs on the other mans back as he struggles through 5 merkins, then switch for the other man’s 5. Walk back down the hill, rinse and repeat 10 times. Agassi and Delta deuce burned through this one so quick I wondered if they had some prior experience with this one.
Yet again the Pax was hungry for more as demonstrated by the quick completion of said task. Again, there’s ALWAYS more.
2 minutes of quick feet on the curb, followed by 25 jump squats onto curb, rinse and repeat, then 25 derkins with feet in curb, rinse and repeat.
Mosey back to our flag for a full 9 rounds of Mary.
Circle of Trust
10 Pax today and it felt good!
We talked about how important it is to be real with our wives and not shy away from the hard conversation but to face it head on and lead like a man, whatever the topic of conversation might be.

YHC noticed pretty minimal mumble chatter during the burp back mountain aside from complaints about the difficulty of running backwards uphill. Mumble chatter escalated during broke back merkin however, so I know next time the hill will be bigger and the reps will be higher. Oh and no walking next time! I guess it was just too easy for our Pax!! Y’all I’m tired. Been a long day!!
