A bunch of entitled, selfish Gen Zer’s felt like it was more important to celebrate their supposed “accomplishments” than for us to use the field today. (Kidding. Graduation. Congrats to Digger and Comeback!) So the Q took us to a few other notable landmarks. A highlight was a manhole cover. If you want to know more about the manhole, talk to @bone.

WARMUP: mobile warmup, did some SSH, imperial walkers, LBACs, cherry pickers, willie Mayes Hayes, as we moseyed around the block and found ourselves at the bottom of 27th Rd hill.
THE THANG: PAX paired up for Dora. Timer was running to the top of the hill. Partners completed 100 Glee-Merkins (@Jag claims this is the name though the QIC cannot confirm in the exicon, this is a 6-count merkin starting in high plank, to low plank, back to high plank, then complete a standard Merkin for 1 rep.), 200 Freddie Mercuries IC, and 300 BWS. The PAX killed it. And also some of the grass.
We then moseyed to the Arena and might have done some burpees along the way. One PAX held balls to the wall while their partner bunny hopped up the stairs, bear crawled around the circle and down the stairs, then flap jack.
We then moseyed back to the stadium. We might have done some burpees along the way.

MARY: flutter kicks, WWIs

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Convergence

COT: while at an AO in the Seattle area a few weeks ago we we’re running a hill next to some woods and there was a young woman there who had most likely slept there and didn’t look like she was at a very good place in her life. During the COT the QIC mentioned her and prayed for her. Afterwards while most PAX went to coffee, a few headed back to the woods to see if there was anything they could do to help her. That stuck with me. We talk a lot about being there for people and helping those that need help. But doing is better than talking. Is there someone who needs your help today? If there is, go do it.
