    8 stallions ready to tackle this Hot Potato Q. Who’s bringing their A game?

    Warmarama:
    Handshake takes the lead: Mosey over to the toll booth parking lot, SSH, DQ, FuddsM, Merkins, Pencil Rolls, LBC’s.

    The Thang:
    Handshake: Indigenous People Run across the bridge. Mosey back across the bridge, 10 Hand Release Merkins + 20 LBCs every light pole (and any missing light poles).

    YHC thought a wink from Handskake was a passing of the Q. YHC was wrong as the Q went to Upchuck.

    Upchuck: Mosey down to Love Hill, but first Pencil Rolls across the street.

    YHC once again was incorrect and thought Upchuck passed the Q after Pencil Rolls, most of the PAX was in agreement but Upchuck had 1 more Q in him…

    UpChuck: Group of 1 add 1, Group of 4 split into 2, 2 groups of 4, Grab a Partner, Circle Up but Mosey in a Straightline. 1st group run 150 yards and back. other groups; Merkins, WWII, Squats. Audible
    Partner 1&2: Bear Crawl up Love Hill while Partner 3&4 do 3 Burpees than go catch Partner 1&2 and Switch. Bear crawl to Lunges and then Broad Jump Burpees audible stop at the community garden. Grab a log. Partner 1&2 carry log to the road and back. Partner 3&4 Carry the log 20 feet and drop log. All other partners supervise. Return dropped log back to start. Mosey to 8 perfectly placed benches. Complete a series of Dips, Merkins, Step-ups. Mosey to Amphitheater
    Bottom of the Amphitheater; 18 monkey humpers increase by 1 all the way up to the top. Audible somewhere near the top. Mosey to the street, V ups. Mosey BTTF.
