Cardio: 10 minutes of Burpees was called, but after round 5 the St. Patrick’s Day Quiz was “While St. Patrick tried to convert the Irish to Christianity, what did he call the three leaves of the shamrock?” If anybody got it correct, we’d stop the 10 minutes of Burpees and end on 5 rounds. Congrats to Seymour who knew that it was “Faith, Hope, and Love”…and saved the day. (4th leaf is Luck if anybody wanted to know).
