Where ever they met on the run back they switched until as a team they made it across the parking lot. All that lost had a 2 burpee punishment.

Moseyed back to WEP stage and did wall sits while raising arms and going up on toes and down. Then a balls to the wall contest. You held balls to the wall as long as you could if you dropped you did burpees until the last man dropped.

Our finisher was a set of 7. In front of the stage you did squats the climbed up wall and ran to back wall of stage for a mike Tyson.

After that we moseyed to flag for core work (arts and crafts for 15min) until 7:30.
