After a slight Q mix-up, Soft Pretzel and Haggis decided to split the workout and leave the Pax wanting more. The result was a Fast Twitch-esque running / bootcamp beat down, at slightly higher intensity of course.
The Thang:

Jog to lake wall for 15 durkins, 15 dips. Jog around lake to next wall for 15 squats, 15 step ups.
Continue around lake to next wall for 15 durkins, 15 dips. Jog around lake to next wall for 15 squats, 15 step ups.
Plank up in the grass then hit it with Jack Webbs up the ladder to 5 and back down again.
Run around the lake and plank up.

Mosey back to parking lot.
Moleskin:
– We covered 2.7 miles, and a total of 225 merkins. Not too shabby!
– Some of the plank times were lengthy, increased on one occasion by some yap from Honey Bee.
– Excellent work from all and great to see some new faces out there.
– Thanks for the chance to lead. Frehleys Comet brings the pain next week – be ready!

Hey, I just wanted to confirm that I understood the exercise before we continued (the 8th round of merkins confused me for a second). I should have asked for a demonstration of 100 or so reps to even the playing field with us mere mortals.
As always, great beatdown by the Pretzel and the Haggis.
