Are you not entertained?

WARMUP: right to business, broke out into two teams

THE THANG: 4 levels of action:
Round 1) work you way through exercises by flipping over papers, you either advance, go back, or go back to start and have to redo the exercises.
– squats
– American hammers
– Lbc
– Burpees
– Merkins
– ANd more

Round 2) cinder block relay/dora. Teams had to go end to end with the blocks and a KB and use the KB as the baton for the next guy.

Round 3) card sharks, every card had a work out associated, you needed to guess if the next card is higher or lower and do the workout, if you guess wrong you do the exercise and guess again.

Round 4) sandbag relay with man maker stops.

Hats off to Barkey, Brawny, and Conundrum for taking the crown!

MARY: LBC, Box Cutter, flutters, heels to heaven and others

WARMUP: helping one another pull our rain coats over our rucksacks.

THE THANG: Headed out towards the coaches box, logged around 3 miles total.
