The QIC had a lot of problems with a select few PAX, and now they were going to hear about it! The QIC barked the ways in which they had disappointed him over the past year. After each name was read, and an appropriate insult hurled, a burpee was performed collectively by the group. 10 rounds. As Festivus rolled on, we came to the Feats of Strength:
• Softball field – pair up, 1 PAX carries the Festivus pole to the tree line and back while the other PAX does a high knee skip. Switch exercises at the tree line. • Remaining PAX performs the following until each team returns: o Mountain Climbers
