A balmy 40 degree morning was perfect for 16 PAX to travel a more compact area of the familiar Pullen terrain. Brain cramps were not limited to QIC (occasional odd counts, jumping the gun in COT), but certain PAX had their moments as well. T-claps to White Shoe for the tip on the “shorter distance, more exercises, keep everyone together” approach. Don’t tell him I gave him credit.
Side-straddle-hops anyone?

Steroid: Wilson! Choose a Mary for us!
Wilson: I don’t know…something we haven’t done…hammers.
Steroid: We just did those five minutes ago…OK.
OK, so maybe it doesn’t translate in print…but it was funny in person. Lunge walk over the long bridge, plank on the other side with Putin, Sarkozy and then a ten count plank hold.
