THE THANG:
Lining up on the goal line, the PAX made their way to the sideline, up 5 yards, then back to the other sideline, using various means of locomotion and stopping to do 1 burpee plus exercises as follows every 5 yard line marker:

Goal line – bear crawl
5 – hand-release merkins / crawl bear
10 – reverse lunges / jog
15 – merkins / shuffle right

35 – Overhead claps / karaoke left
40 – Mountain climbers / karaoke right
45 – Calf raises / Frankenstein walk
50 – LBCs

They then reversed the order and descended the ladder, ending at the far goal line. YHC tried to eliminate the final Crawl bear, but the PAX weren’t having it.

For those tracking the monthly challenge: 40 merkins, 60 lunges, 50 squats, 50 LBCs, 15 BBS + 21 burpees

ANNOUNCEMENTS: If we can get 550 more people to give any amount to the F3 Give2Give campaign, that will trigger a $5,500 match. Turkey Trot at 8a next Thursday at #olympus. Chad 1000 tomorrow at #olympus.

COT: Don’t pass up on opportunities that come your way – even the ones you might not think you’re ready for. Coming back after a 2 month injury break, YHC checked the signup sheet yesterday afternoon and the Q was open. YHC of course immediately closed the signup sheet, but then thought better of it and grabbed the Q. Although he didn’t initially feel ready to lead on his first day back, taking the Q meant he was able to fully participate by leading a beatdown that avoided the injury. And it was great to be back out in the gloom!
