Humid. That is the word of the day. Another word: Breezeless. Add in soupy, swampy, steamy and you may start to get a feel for the level of gloom that these 17 glorious warrior PAX endured at the Big Dance. We were definitely dancing today, in sweat and tears.
EC: Floyd, Elf, and SweaterVest made a ruck pilgrimage through the lovely neighborhoods that make up Forest Hills. The neighborhood was very nice. There was only one sketchy dark gravel alley that we wandered through.

Stretch out what your momma gave ya
Mosey to our favorite hill (the one with the silver trailer for sale)
This is a pretty standard thing to do at The Big Dance, and YHC didn’t feel like leaving it out.
Backwards run up the hill to the top, 10 burpees, forward run down the hill to the bottom, 10 Merkins. Repeat and Repeat. Be sure to pick up the six. Time to move on.
Mosey to the tennis courts for Floyd’s Circular Tennis Court Suicides.
The basic premise here is to do a lap around one court, do an exercise, then go around the second court, etc until all 4 courts have been done
Set 1: 20 Low slow flutters, then lunge walk the verticals, Bear Walk to the left, Lunge walk the verticals, Crawl bear back to the start. Wait for everyone and do some random exercise that Floyd made up until everyone is back and on their 6 (this is the reason for the title of the workout. The jackrabbits who finished first definitely got smoked with extra reps. No good deed goes unpunished). Then do 20 more flutters.
Total flutters = 100.
Set 2: 20 air squats, then run around each tennis court, 1 court, 2 courts, 3 courts and 4 courts. In between reps, 20 squats OYO. Then pick up the 6. Total air squats 100-120.
