Lots of people showed up, unfortunately they got me on Q. Original plan was to run with merkins to Riverview elementary school, but with so many pax I decided to stay local. Plan was to run around town with Jack Webb. We began with five merkins and twenty overhead claps. Twelve stops around town increasing the rep counts by one and four respectively. Added some additional exercises (Squats, lunges, calf raises) while we waited for the six to arrive.
Total count: 126 merkins, 504 overhead claps.
we had time for a pairing sprint up the Massey hill.

3 started out “bad idea” Saturday with a pre-run at 530. Rolloff shot for the stars (collusseum) and landed on the moon (IR). Fishstix decided a pre- ruck would be in his best interest (expected the Q to bring a moderate).
Rain started picking up right at 630
WARMUP: disclaimer and yog up near pullup bars. Settle in under the cedar tree like a bunch of wild animals trying to stay out of the rain. IC exercises including 16 reps of SSH, WM, IW, MNC, Shoulder taps, Mtn Climbers
THE THANG: Run to windjammer park and back with stops every 1/4 mile for squats and merkins – pyramid style. Al Gore until 6 gets in then begin exercises reps- 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5
Added 10 burpees at windjammer park for good measure
MARY: more burpees, MNC, IWs etc
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter
COT: yup
