Then RUN THE RING OF FIRE.

At this point, some chaos ensued- many apologies from YHC. Most PAX made it around the loop. The hope there was that running all the way around would post a goal in sight that would push PAX to run as hard as possible instead of ladders or wind sprints when you never know if this is the last one or you have 6 more to go. As a note: Everyone that completed the circuit arrived at the dam within 1 min of the full 45 for the whole workout, also for your times: When we began the ring there were roughly 18:30 remaining which works out to two 9:15 miles- after the previous nearly half hour of roughness- T-Claps to all.

Moleskin: Sing up for the Mud Run! Donations for Dufresne’s family being collected by Au Pair, Maize and Epoxy. New Workout this Thursday 545am- THE JUDGE- Art museum.  Come out to the Arena on Saturdays and Metamorposis Wednesdays for great 3rd F service.
