THE THANG: The pax participated in a fellowship lap and on our second trip around stopped at 6 stations for merkins, squats, shoulder taps, jungle boy squats, calf raises and burpees. After completing, the Pax divided into two teams and played a game of F3 soccer with a burpee performed every time the ball went out of bounds and a round of exercises performed after each goal. The goal scoring was done primarily by the 2.0s, who demonstrated superior soccer skills and Uppercut qualifying for full ringer status. A good time was had by all. MARY: Incorporated with the post-goal exercise sets.
