THE THANG:
BERT…Flo and I did this at the Bridge’s second blackops Beatdown. Found it and thought we could modify it and do it at Sandlot. We modified rep count and partnered up.
– 50 Burpees
– 400 meter Run
– 75 Merkins
– 400 meter Run
– 100 Walking Lunges
– 400 meter Run

– 100 Walking Lunges

Mosey’d to library zen garden. YHC had originally thought today’s Beatdown would include doing the Buford Highway Shuffle and see what Cemetery Field looks like in the gloom but changed plans as it’s questionable during the daylight. BERT became the game plan.
Either way, at the zen garden, we did 10, 15, 20 escalator dips and step ups.
Mosey’d back to the north staircase and back to the baseball diamond fountain for 5 minutes of Mary.
