THE THANG
Partner up for the MerkinFest:
Partner 1 does 20 merkins while Partner 2 does squats, flapjack.
Partner 1 does 19 merkins while Partner 2 does squats, flapjack.
So on and so forth all the way down to 1 merkin.

Now that we’re feeling all “chesty”, mosey over to the concessions area, keeping with your partner.
Partner 1 runs around the outside of the baseball field while partner 2 does AMRAP of called exercise, then flapjack.
Round 1: step-ups

Mosey to the football field a line up abreast on the goal line.

Moleskine:
Great group out there today. Not too much mumble chatter except for some groans when the merkinfest was called. Everyone worked hard and pushed through to the end. If you made it all the way through you did 210 merkins (on top of the 20 during warmup). Strong! Iron Horse wanted to go back up the ladder but was quickly shut down. He may be war daddy, but he’s a beast. Thanks for allowing me to lead today, always an honor. Sound off with anything else I missed. Thanks to Iron Horse for taking us out.

Announcements:
10/4 Day of “stuff” at the Whitewater center. Bushwacker race, etc. Watch for preblast and check website.
