we didn’t shoot our eye out but we did break it

WARMUP: disclaimer was disclaimed on the move bc it’s 16F. Mosey along the trail until we hit a giant tree in the way that’s been since we started but we never had enough guys to move it until now. For the record Flounder said we couldn’t move it. Oh ye of little faith😇. Every workout should start with a team log movement.
THE THANG: at “The Office” work was done.
5 weighted pull-ups, 10 weighted merkins, 20 squats. Then
10 ruck burpees minus the number of bb’s that a PAX was able to successfully shoot within a target on the target block ( styrofoam packing surrounding my solo stove that I got for Christmas yesterday). @Sprocket found the mark 7 / 10 so everyone did 3 ruck burpees. Mosey for quarter mile. Then dips, derkins, and step ups and 7 ruck burpees bc buttterFat discovered that the 19$ toy pistol wasn’t cold tested. Hopefully Black Bart never learns of my weakness. Mosey another quarter mile & more exercises and burpees until we went on a trail building log lining party on a fresh patch of trail for a few minutes. Oh and at some point we crossed a creek via an ice covered log.

First time to Q at Clydesdales or any running AO. Not my forte, but we made it work. Not too many actually made the route I drew up work, but everyone was generous about not letting me know.
