The Original Thang
The ER is a timed AMRAP that is run with weights, unless you choose to run “naked,” meaning without weights. The course starts at the corner of 3rd Av and Center St, just below Frye Hospital. The pax runs up the hill on Center St to the stop light at 5th Av. There the pax does 20 merkins and 20 crunches. Then it’s down the hill and into the first stairwell in the parking garage. Run up the stairs to the top deck and do 20 merkins, run back down the stairs and do 20 crunches at the bottom. Hop up and run through the parking garage to the other stair well. Run to the top for 20 merkins and back down for 20 crunches. Run back to the corner of 3rd Av and Center St where it all began. That’s one lap. On each subsequent lap take off one merkin and one crunch. The object is to see how many laps can be completed, with weights, in 45 minutes.

For 0.5 seconds I actually thought I was going to pass Herniator when you dropped the flag. Then I realized he was fiddling with his #dicktracywatch and then he was off like a midget shot out of a cannon. It was awesome! I am proud of all you guys for doing so well. For the record – yet again I win the #reallyoldman category. I will gladly accept a mega bottle of Ibuprofen #vitaminI as my reward. Thanks CE for mustering 25 souls for this trip to Hell and back.
I had a gear time and remembered why I hated the ER. Thanks for arranging it and pushing to get us out there. It was also nice visiting with everyone as they flew past me! Best medal ever!
It’s nearly noon and I’ve come down with the ER flu. Body aches all over. There was a very good reason we changed the concrete beast. It’s a killer.
Cuz, why wasn’t there a prize for the overall winner??? I think you owe me a steak!
Abe – because you would have given it to Taz or Markup. We all know that you shun all awards and prizes b/c that’s simply not the Reynolds Way. Now if I would have said that the overall winner gets to do 100 Burpees for the prize, you would be on it like flies on a pile of poop. Seriously, what would Betsy say if you brought home some rinky dink metal?????
Great job men – you all deserve a participation trophy. Naw. Just post tomorrow.
Next Year’s Overall Winner prize should be #RingersLactate – they will need it! #hookmeupbuttercup
I know you said these were official results Cuz, but YHC has filed a grievance with the WBF. Still waiting on the results of the appeal.
