10 intrepid adventurers set out across the frozen Tuckahoe tundra to attempt their best impression of Shackleton’s ill-fated voyage. Two simple goals: stay dry and don’t fall down. 40 SSHs, 20 Don Quixotes, 20 Imperial Squat Walkers, 10 Helicopters, arm circles in both directions and some other warmup stuff lost to brain freeze. Careful mosey to the covered walkway where our ship was frozen in ice and locked for the duration. While dry, the walkway formed a natural wind tunnel but luckily these men are extremely aerodynamic and almost never complain. Some merkins followed by a centipede railing crawl counter-clockwise…

A Great Eight inexplicably gathered on a sunny and 70 degree morning, which felt more like 35 and icy rain. After jumping out of the cars at 5:29, the pax quickly checked in and moseyed up Lindsay, left on Forest, down to the office building next to the Mobil station. We managed to find sheltered space under the covered lot, and after some COP, YHC whipped out a makeshift whiteboard for some ground and pound. 100 SSHs90 Squats80 LBCs** 15 Burpees **70 Mtn Climbers 2×60 Merkins50 American Hammers 2x** 15 Burpees **40 WW2s30 Ball Dippers 2×20 Burpees10 Diamond Merkins When…
