Columbus displayed his early sailing acumen when he choose to go to Canary Islands as opposed to the Azores to catch the trade winds.

We then moseyed to far end of summit and did a AMRAP balls to the wall to simulate the long journey to land. We then bounced amongst the Caribbean Islands (picnic tables) for some ladder merkins, step ups, and dips.
We then talked about how Columbus day began as a holiday partly as a response to the 1891 mass lynching of 11 Italian immigrants in New Orleans and to address the political tensions between the U.S. and Italy, President Benjamin Harrison established a one-time national observance in 1892 to honor Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer.
We did an 11 count low plank hold ring of fire to honor the 11 murdered italians.
We then did a backwards indian run (Elizabeth Warren) back to startex
We then did an alternating merkin/squat escalator up to 10 and back down.
