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.

A lesson I learned this week: sometimes career opportunities pay more in dollars but cost more in the things that actually matter. Career trajectory and higher compensation aren’t worth the sacrifice of time with your loved ones. No one on their death bed says, “I wish I would have spent more time at work.” There’s a very good chance your job posting will go online before your obituary.
