THE THANG:

Each HIM drew a team and a seed. Divided up into 4 pods and headed to sub regional
Each HIM could reduce the burpees of each pod by naming either the nickname, Coach or player from his school
Spoiler: NCAA trivia is NOT the Pax’ bailiwick

Seeds 13-16. Denver
Scale the Rocky Mountain (baby Everest) and run down Route 66 to the next pod to bump the next group

Seeds 9-12. Providence. Like the Cloud, Providence is cold, smelly, weird. And can’t grow real grass
AMRAP of big bois, step ups, and flutters until bumped to

Seeds 5-8. Milwaukee..after running arm in arm like Laverne and Shirley to the PAV…the Pax picked a wheel of cheese (coupon) for an AMRAP of curls, table rows and derkins before being bumped to

Seeds 1-4. Lexington. The nicest region. Just like highly trained thoroughbreds we worked on legs with lunges and squats

MARY: Final Four. Trivia contest. First semi the low seed upset the top Seeds

Second semi- the 9-12 Seeds also pulled the upset

Final game- the winning trivia answer was blurted out by Sawdust….so our national champion is….the Texas Longhorns??? What in the name of Matthew McConnaughy is that??
