WoR: 15 SSH, ic; 15 tin soliders, ic; 21 mountain climbers, ic; 10 Bat Wings

Thang 0: The sorting.

Each PAX completes 10 merkins, 20 lbcs, 30 squats and one lap around the parking lot. Hold low plank for the 6, in the order that we finished. Snake count to 8 from the front of the line to the end of the line and pair up by numbers.

Thang 1: Flat tire races.

With your partner, complete flat tires across one set of tennis court, switching partners at the half, or when one partner needs a break. Assign points by finish order (1 for first place, 2 for second, etc.)

Move to the curb, complete 20 calf raises, ic and 20 Mike Tysons, ic.

Thang 2: 3-legged PAX race.

Grab weight and mosey to the bottom of Hoffa. Pair up with a PAX of similar height. Put on an ankle band, like any grade school 3-legged race. Each pair of PAX are responsible to carry ~60# (either 2 handled coupons or one sand bag.) Remember finish order, and assign points as discussed above. Each PAX keeps those points. Race around the base of Hoffa and up to the top.

150 burpee spittoon at the top of Hoffa.

Thang 3: Spoon-bag race

Return to your previous teams. Each team is responsible to carry two eggs on spoons and one sand bag (or two handled coupons) across the bridge and on to the island. If an egg falls off your spoon, go back to the beginning and start over. If you drop an egg over the bridge and into the water, you simply make my children sad. 😥 Hold Al Gore for the 6. Remember order of finish and award points.

Forgot to do Green Sally Up. Oops.

Thang 4: Sack Races

Grab a burlap sack. Go CCW around the two cone set up at a distance across the field. Return to the start line/finish line. Record your order of finish.

Thang 5: Prizes!

Bring all the things to the flag.

Each PAX recalled the total points he was awarded. Those were the number of burpee prizes that he was able to gift to a single PAX. Togther, wel all pointed at the PAX we are going to give our burpees to, and went around and awarded these burpees. PAX then completed burpees and when finished, held low plank.

Moleskin: When you have a concern or issue with someone, do them the respect of bringing it to them right away. Allow them to deal with the criticism/concern as a full human being who may need to own their mistakes or may have a different perspective. Don’t let it fester, that doesn’t work.

COT: @Pool Boy, his 2.0 and his M. Thankfulness that we can gather for days like this. The 2 major wars.
