STL Teams

Chilly morning so mosey over to medical offices behind bank at top of Dave Gibson to warm-up. Break out into teams of 4 or 5.
Laps are up Dave Gibson, down 160 to Arby’s, right into Earthfare lot, right on road that returns to start.
Hills are down Dave Gibson up to GHES and then back to start.
As a team complete the following as efficiently as possible:
6 Laps, 6 Hills, 50 Burpees, 100 HR Merkins, 150 Bomb-Jacks, 200 Mtn Climbers.
Every PAX had to run one loop and one hill. From there it was up to the team to figure out how to divide and conquer.
The goal was to get through this the first time and then challenge the teams to figure out how to improve their plan in order to reduce their overall time. Probably due to poor communication on YHC part, we ran short on time to complete the second round. Teams completed as much as time allowed on second round and then returned to COT. This was Wipeout’s second work-out so we went over the 5 core principals and then a quick summary of the 3Fs.

Lots of 2nd F events in the newsletter. Get out and participate!
Thanks Badlands for the Q opportunity!

Based how hard some slammed the ball they had pretty easy lives so far or they where just hurting from all the kettlebell swings.
