Thang: Mosey down Girod to the trailhead and back, stopping along the way for a round of “the escalator”, aka “Chewy’s Soduku. The concept: 10 exercises, 10 rounds. Rep count goes from 10 to 1. Next round: 10 rep count moves to 9, 9 moves to 8, rinse and repeat. At the end of 10 rounds, each of the 10 exercises will have been performed 55 times. Math!

The exercises:
Merkins
Partner Merkins
8 count body builders
Donkey kicks
Leg raises
Gas pumps
Jump squats
Imperial squat walkers
Star jumps
Murder Bunnies

Somewhere in the middle, to break up monotony and provide a little halftime entertainment, YHC challenged Bird to a “donkey kick-off”…select your winner and get it right, and you’re exempt from that round. The rules were not clear, nor was the starting gun, so despite YHC winning round 1, there was a round 2, won by Bird. Choosing to hedge the bet, we called it at a tie until further notice.

Back at the flag, we wrapped up with the COT, Name-o-Rama, and prayer, welcoming FNG Cankles!

Thank you all for participating in the now yearly tradition of forgoing at least one week of IronPax.
