CONDITIONS: Sky’s out thighs out

WARMUP: 1 lap truffle shuffle. Sunshine was looking good on the run.

THE THANG: Dilbert Country Parkour Country Parkour showed a tad late because of fatherly duties, but they definitely got the work in thanks to burpees.

Yes, burpees.

10 burpees. Go.

10 burpees. Go.

Feeling tired yet?

Chunks got out of the mental funk and started carrying the boats.

10 burpees. Go.

After 12 sets, Q decided he was no longer tired and decided to move the crew on.

The pax moved onto another lap around the park with a stop for low and slow merkins in cadence.

Pax finally moved to the hill to truffle shuffle up and do more merkins. Yeah, we did that a few times. Pep looked okay, but I promise he was feeling great.

Pax headed back towards the start and did some flutter kicks to round out the abs.

MOLESKINE: pax were sulking after the third set of burpees. How many more will we do? How much more of this can we take? Mind has a lot of power over the body.

All pax moved out of their funk and got hard after set 9. By set 11, everyone was getting stronger.
