INTRODUCTION
As Count Chocula so eloquently put it in his BB today (1/30/19 GRIDLOCK BB), it was bloody freezing today on the hill. White Wall and YHC fought valiantly against the Antarctic-like winds to find a suitable spot to do pull-ups, and settled in to the shelter next to the main lot. There was little protection from the wind here, but we pressed on.
WARM-O-RAMA
Just keep moving…
SSH – 20 IC
Copperhead Squats – 10 IC
At this point, YHC realized it was futile to try to get warm before just doing Tha Thang, so we just got right into it…
THa THANG
AMRAP
5 Pull-ups
10 Merkins
15 BBS
20 Squats
One round in and White Wall’s beard was iced through. I feared another stiff wind might snap it off. So, we grabbed a couple picnic tables, released them from their icy hold with the ground and flipped them up on their side. Bingo! The pull-ups were still unprotected from the wind, but the groundwork was bearable and blood started flowing back to the extremities.
We completed 7 rounds at a nice steady pace, before tapping out. Getting up and down on the picnic tables for the pull-ups was dicey, so once we couldn’t feel our feet anymore, we called it quits.
