COUNT: 7
CONDITIONS: Not cold enough for gloves

WARMUP: A little bit of mosey, a little bit of merkins, a little bit of squats.

THE THANG: Head to the tennis courts–bear crawls, lunges, backwards running, side shuffle, more bear crawls

Run to playground and do a pull up

Get sandbags out of car, line up behind Q, and do pulls at 80lbs and 60lbs.

MOLESKINE:

1. Strutter rejected the tombstone. Good metaphor.
2. Brown Slip being back after being sick was fantastic. He might be the next bear crawl champion.
3. Mr. Pancake tricked his friend Brad into coming all the way up from Lebanon (not the country).
4. Space Baby was not much challenged by the running, but the sandbags were hard (ok I made that up–those weren’t hard for him either).
5. Steely missed the pre-run, but we had a great conversation about diesel engines at coffee.

WARMUP:
25 IC Side Straddle Hops

THE THANG:
Mosey to the High School Football Field(0.40mile)
Partner up and grab a coupon for each team. All PAX lined the sideline in their teams.
While one team member conducted the exercise the other ran sideline to sideline and the entire PAX waited in the squat or plank position until everyone returned.
First exercise curls, second exercise squats, third exercise overhead press; all with coupon. Then the coupon was carried by the runner, first front rack carry, second shoulder carry switching shoulders at the other side and third overhead carry; all while the partner did Merikans, WWIs and Burpees.
Next we conducted a sprinted race to the other sideline and back. The PAX was tricked with saying the last person had to do ten burpees but we all did the burpees together. 40 flutter kicks and a Lap around the track. Started over the exercise with the first three exercises.
Mosied back to the park, finished with some hangs and dips.

MOLESKINE: Burpees suck after a sprint!

2. Teams have 20 minutes to hide the 80lb sandbag in their territory (200 burpee penalty for all team members if all any team members are late getting back).
