Where is the shorter loop?

The Thang:
Run to the darkest, coldest, wettest corner of the AO just to get the PAX thinking and to do a little recon on the conditions on this side of the AO.
Some butt kickers, high knees, shuffle and backward run right back to the cars
COP (IC):
SSHx20
IWx20
Squatsx20
Mtn Climberx20

Find teams of 4 (or 5) for some dueling loop Mud Run training
TM1: Run “small” loop around soccer fields
TM2: Merkins
TM3: Run “long” loop around school
TM4: Lunges
TM 1,2,4 were supposed to bear crawl when they reconvened waiting for TM3, but more on that later
Rotate until everyone takes each station 2x

Mosey to the wall (near playground)
Peoples’ Chair with 50 arm raises – 3x through

Some butt kickers, high knees, shuffle and backward run in the front lot then AYG right back to the cars

NM:
1) Unknown before the workout we celebrated 2 trips around the sun today (Salt Lick and YHC) with our double loop duel. Same birthday and year. In a group of 13 the odds of 2 people having the same birthday are about 22% (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem). I’ll leave it to someone better at math than I to say what the odds of sharing birthday and year look like.
2) You can workout in an AO for years and still learn something. I always assumed that the park loop was shorter than the school loop at MRES – today we proved 8x that they are basically the same length. The benefit to the PAX was that we avoided the bear crawls in the wet, nearly frosted over grass
3) Always an honor to lead
