    WARMARAMA – Moseyed to the end of the soccer field where YHC had done a little recon work a few days before. Turns out that there’s a path through the woods that feeds right into WES and the hill that the PAX likes to run on sometimes. Gave the mission, stretched out and got into it.

    • Bus lanes were labeled “A, B, C, D, E” so each PAX member took a land and performed exercises based on the letter assigned. Rotated a few time.
