THA-THANG:
The workout was simple, but due to the Ghostflag, we had two well represented groups from Juco & F3 Smokies vying to take it home.  We chose to host a competition, and the first group with 3 to finish the workout below took home the flag.
The workout was as follows:
The Impossible Mile
400 M Run
100 Merkins
400 M Run
100 Squats
400 M Run
100 BURPEES
400 M Run

Following that sweat fest, we moved over to the Jesus statue and found a battle buddy.  One partner held a wall squat while the other partner did 50 dips.  After both partners completed the exercises, we switched one partner held a balls to the wall while the other partner did 50 step ups.  Once both partners completed both exercises, we moseyed back to the flag for a Mary.
