THE THANG:

Thing 1: Running Grapevine Burpee Apocalypse
A combination of @grape ‘s caboose is loose run while carrying the speaker, and @bluemule ‘s traveling burpee apocalypse. Pax ran exactly 1 mile and performed 55 burpees.

Thing 2: Classic Hilly Titan 11’s Now with 4 Bonus Bearcrawls

Pax took advantage of the fantastic hill with 11’s consisting of LT Dans at the Base and WW1s at the top. With one caveat, Pax had to bearcrawl up the hill 4 of the 10 times of their choosing.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: F3 Hendersonville is Rising! YHC was given a funny cowboy hat. Leanpax sugar/alcohol detox is in full effect!

This mornings playlist was a group effort of alternative rock starting with @chunk ‘s request for higher by Creed. I shamelessly added in a Green River Ordinance radio hit at the end.

Thank you all for the opportunity to lead!
