Another Trick for Faceplant’s Pony

Six PAX posted to WDog, and the dude in the dreadlock cap holding the pink dogwood down so it wouldn’t fly away (pictured above, on the left) claims he saw something like this:

The THANG: COP with SSHs, IWs, DQs, APDs, American Hammers, Merkins IC.

41.67% of a Robbie Miller WOD workout (minus the rucking, too):

Coupons were arranged at the end of the field. PAX performed 6 Burpees, each time jumping over the coupon. Then 6 4-count Mountain Climbers. Then 6 Coupon Get Ups. Mosey to the rusty cage for 6 Pull Ups. End of Round 1.

PAX completed 5 rounds bro-code style, so all PAX have a Robbie Miller WOD number of 5. The goal is to work up to 12.

NMS: YHC was inspired by Faceplant’s excitement for monthly challenges, and so thought this one would be good to introduce. This version included Pull Ups which were welcome practice for the Murph. There are several variants of the workout on the web, but YHC remembers the Get Ups and Burpees with the jump most vividly. The PAX did a version of this workout at the end of the Grow Ruck back in 2019. The Cadre didn’t know about the Rusty Cage and we weren’t about to tell him, so we did Rucksack Squat and Press instead (YHC thinks). Most versions of the Robbie Miller WOD start and end with a 3 mile ruck. During the Grow Ruck, we started with a 15 hour ruck.

YHC saw the dude in the dreadlock cap watching the PAX toward the end of the beatdown. He took a break from the tree to watch YHC load the extra coupons in the car, then got back to anchoring the tree, and YHC got the pic on the way out. Need to EH next time.

PAX put in a solid effort today. YHC enjoyed the mumble chatter in between the rusty cage and the field. Hitchhiker recommends Yewon for Korean food.

Announcements: Convergence Saturday at Dogpile at 7. Additional announcements on Slack.
