At least some made to 60 Mountain Climbers.
Playground – “Murder By Numbers” & “Money for Nothing” M.U.R.D.E.R By Numbers Partner up – P1 takes lap around MCC while P2 does exercise. Flapjack, working up to 75 cumulative reps for each exercise.

Sunny and Swampy
WARMUP: Usual stuff led by CubCadet
Got a wave from a guy walking by with his M “you guys F3?” Put him in the prospect pipeline.
Joined by Chipper and FNG (his coworker) at 5:35. No penalty burpees as they were just following the map pin to the 4th hole fairway.
THE THANG:
Mosey up hill. Topps led sets of Squats, Merkins, Leg Lifts.
Sets of 40, 30, 20, 10 each with a run across the parking lot after each set.
Then he busted out the hockey sticks. Two teams of 5. Paired up with an opponent to shoot the puck. Both shooters have same result (both make or both miss), and each team does 5 burpees. If one shooter makes and one misses, losing team does all 10 burpees, winning team does 10 squats. The Preds’ scout just drove away after he saw Vector. One team did 45 burpees. Huh.
MARY: 5 minutes dealers’ choice.
MOLESKINE:
Gratitude to be able to Q with my 21 year old son before goes back to school. Thank you to my fellow respects for not so politely telling me to STFU and let the kid lead.
Words of gratitude around the circle.
Enjoyed getting to know Chipper and naming RockaLulu. They live north side, so getting them plugged in asap. (Chipped tried to EH a guy 10 minutes after he got there. Pep was in awe).
