Chugging $1 beers downtown

WARMUP: mossy to parking lot across from Little Caesars. 10 windmills, 15 SSH, 15 LSS, 10 merkins. Since Bobber missed half of the warm up, we rinsed and repeated for him.

THE THANG: mossy to the first bar – Pint Shop – for some bar chugging pain. 5 rounds to complete a 1/4 of the Murph (5 pull-ups 10 merkins 15 squats). Run to Emmits, 1 round of 3 exercises (these 3 were repeated at all stops but with different number of rounds – 10 merkins, 15 squats, 20 LBCs). Missy to Armor artis for 2 rounds, mossy to Illumination for 1 round (3 rounds were called but due to high volume of mumble chatter reduced to 1 to avoid cops), mossy to Flower Bar for 2 rounds, lunge walk to FM eatery for 1 round, lunge walk to Hobos for 1 round. Run to intersection with 160 and do 5 burpees then run back to Emmits for 5 burpees. Rinse and repeat one more time then mossy to COT

We all enjoyed the beer chugging pain at each of the drinking holes in downtown. We even discussed opening up a college bar servig $1 beers in plastic cups as this would be a real $$$$ maker.
