Quick Rosey around the Roundabout starting with 5 Merkins then lunge to each line (5 Merkins per line).

Recover, slosey to the gate, and then mosey back to the courts where YHC had 4 minutes left
Final Battle
Tabata Burpees
YHC gave quick instructions and asked if anyone had questions before starting to which PAX replied, Why?
YHC didn’t have a good answer at the time but probably should have replied “This is F3”
The Tabata clock was started and we were off.
8 sets of AMRAP Burpees for 20 seconds with 10 seconds rest
This took us right to the end of the beatdown.
Great job by all PAX powering through this spartan workout.
COT
Thankful again for this great group of men and for everyone pushing and encouraging each other.
Prayers for Haka’s back to heal quickly
Prayers for Murphy and his M
Prayers for all those PAX that may be going through tough times and all those that couldn’t make it today.
