Mosey along the edge of the reservoir to see if there are stairs to include in an exercise set: nope, not on that side so continue on around to the other side of the reservoir and confirm that the paved walkway is inaccessible due to construction barriers and on down to boat lake.
Starting near the boat house – alternate 10 merkins and 10 WWII’s at each lamp post to the bench at the far side where leaders return to meet the 6. From the meeting point continue around the lake alternating 10 american hammers and 10 lieutenant dan’s at lightposts to the point about a third of the way around. Finish the trip around the lake with incrementing burpees at each lightpost ending with 8.
Continue our tour of the reservoir to see if the stairs can be gotten to – nope. Onward to the corner of Westover Rd and Trafford Rd for 11’s – LBC’s and Merkins between the corner and alley between the houses as you head down Trafford and back.
Return to the flag for LBC’s and stretching and savasana to close things out.
