Mosey past Sand Volleyball Courts where YHC shuddered remembering Sandman & his EH’s near death experience several years back. The rope defining SVC tripped the FNG (Sandman) & he laid there for what must have been 20 minutes as YHC shook my head ashamed of that EH. I digress.

Ex: clap merkins, high five burpees… after everyone progressed through all exercises twice we each did 20 box jumps on the way to Mary.
