Mosey to start of the bullring for a “ring of fire. There are 20 entrances to the ring, the ring itself is 800m +/- at each entrance 10 merkins, complete circuit =200 merkins.

Round 2: Partner up for another “ring of fire” 10 handslap merkins at each entrance, complete circuit=200 merkins. PAX instructed to modify as needed.

While waiting for the 6 a little Mary, Flutter in Cadence x20, Dolly in Cadence x20

Partner up for sprints: Partner 1 sprints a loop while partner 2 performs LBC’s until partner 1 returns. Rinse and repeat 3 times.

PAX together to head home pick up pace at each drive entrance, hold plank for the 6. Quick stop at Rocky River Grill for a merkin ladder. 6 sets of 5 merkins in cadence with short sprints, cadence count by Linus, Tuna, Crabcake, FNG (Ponzi) and YHC.

Jail break by most back to the AO. Great work men, Mermaid crushed the ring along with Fire Hazard and Mighty. Strong work by both FNG’S, I partnered up with Ponzi he pushed himself hard for the first time out. Thanks to Big Tuna, Loogie and Fire Hazard for keeping the 6 in check and bringing them home. Nice to see my Swift brothers strolling around the Bullring, good to see so many of us in the gloom. Thank you for the opportunity if you haven’t lead step up and take the challenge there is no better feeling.

Bean.

Moleskin:

Solid effort this morning with the PAX staying very close to each other. Mic Check and Escargot were pushing for the lead along with a few others. Also appreciate the clarification/demonstration by Market Timer and Frehleys on a true form Monkey Humpers, although there is still some confusion on inside or outside hold on the ankles.

Thanks for the lead gentleman.
