Amen reminded me that you cant come to wilderness and not experience J Lo. I told everyone to head to softer ground to save their elbows, the pax got exercise in chastising me for it…but deep down I think they appreciated it. We did some
shoulder touch merkins and then had TC lead us in the American Hammer. We finished with 5 burpees.
Moleskin:
Oh how the PAX is ficle, so positive and supportive while doing pigeon but 60 seconds later I lost a lot of friends calling burpees and running. Toxic made it clear that much of what we did was so stupid. By the end it seemed like all got a good workout based on the deluge of sweat seen in the social distanced COT. Lego, nice work bringing out the stud who did his first two posts back to back and will now be known as Estwing! Nice work everyone and I appreciate all the support along the way Auto! Prayers up for Olive and his family.
