Moleskin
- Great work out there men. That was non-stop pace and everyone kept up. We all finished at least one round in first place and earned some points.
- Changes for next time:
- Reduce burpee penalty/point increase to three each round to keep it competitive, but still give the six a chance to earn some points.
- If there are a lot of pax, burpee penalties/points could be awarded to top three of each round.
- Every round will be like Round 4, with four exercises and four sprints. Exercises change each round.
- Maybe throw in some bear crawls, lunge walks, or crab walks instead of sprints.
Peace,
Deuce
