We made a executive decision not to use grass or any fields as we did not want to pull a Damascus and get us thrown out of this site. For whatever reason the parks and recs department decided 6:10am is a good time to mow grass, so too many eyes would be looking at us tearing up their property- Moved to a gravel lot.

Today was a tough as we nailed 3.50 miles, 50 burpees, crushed our shoulders/arms and then completed a terrible Webb. But even with all the terribleness it was a blast thanks to all the conversation, banter, jokes, farting (some wet ones) and snot rockets.
