COUNT: 11
WARMUP: SSH, Michael Phelps, cherry pickers, down dog, merkins, couple rounds of burpees due to tardiness. THE THANG:
After a lackluster, uninspiring warm up from the Assistant to the Q, the PAX got after it with an A/B partner workout.

While A did the round, B ran around half the track (~200 meters) to where A was finishing up getting across short side of the football field. Swap.

Rd1: 10 burpees/rifle carry
Rd2: 20 Curls/murder bunnies
Rd 3: 30 Merkins/sprint
Rd 4: 35 dips/bear crawl
Rd 5: 40 calf raises/broad jump
Rd 6: 30 rows/sprint
Rd 7: 20 overhead press/carry the coupon
Rd 8: 10 Thrusters/Lunge
Rd 9: 10 burpees/ rifle carry

Transitioned to ultimate where the FNG scored two for the winning team. I don’t believe Peanuts ever touched the disc which may have contributed to A team win.

MARY: Assistant to the Q started well, but faltered so the Q had to step in. dying starfish, LBCs, American Hammers, row boats, toy soldiers ANNOUNCEMENTS: f3 float July 8; dads camp fall Oct 14, AT Georgia late October. COT: stronger together.
