Thicker Park A.O.
PAX: PacRat, Optimus, Beyonce, Mad Maxx, 2005
5 PAX made a valiant attempt to conquer Sharknado. Well, at least 4 did. I was in survival mode

You know the Sharknado drill:
- 15 burpees
- Lap (0.19 miles)
- 20 Merkins
- Lap
- 20 LBCs
- Lap
- 20 Diamond Merkins
- Lap
- 20 Dry Docs (Scorpion or Carolina
- Lap
- Repeato 5 sets. PAX have 60 minutes to complete all 5 rounds
If one includes the merkins buried in the Burpee and counts the Dry Docs as a merkin variation, PAX performed up to 375 merkins. For any PAX that completed the Shark’, Thicker Park puts your mileage at 4.75 miles. Any single one of these things (4 3/4 mile run, 300 merkins, or 75 burpees) is in its’ own right a complete workout. Add them all together, and you have the trappings for the most grueling workout in the world. Probably.

At COT/Name-o-Rama, I encouraged the brothers that modified as necessary on their efforts. When needed, permit yourself to modify as necessary, and not any more than is necessary. Modifying to exercise that lessens intensity is not accelerating. Modifying to accommodate an injury or current strength limitation is a tool that leads to improvement. Sharknado is miserable because it’s supposed to be. And boy does it work. The one workout that is 100% undefeated.
Beyonce mentioned a special workout that SouthSide is hosting the 2nd week of August. Be on the lookout and let’s get a contingent of PAX to support our brothers and suffer like men. The only way we know how to.
