Three veterans and one FNG decided that being two hours from Dogpile wasn’t a good enough reason to fartsack on a Saturday morning, and planted the proverbial flag at F3’s latest temporary AO: Crossroads Camp & Conference Center in lovely Lowesville, VA. So at 6am sharp, PAX headed to the hilly field for a beat down: THANG COP: SSH, DQ, IW, Freddie, flutterkicks, merkins It’s surely in the exicon somewhere, but YHC had no cell service to find the proper name, so “scatterbear” it was: 1 man does 5 burpees while PAX bear crawls away, man 1 chases and tags…

Full circle of the track and then hold up at the bleachers for COP. COP SSHs x 100 (4 count) Calf stretches, torso stretches IW’s x…
