FNGs: None
COUNT: 12
WARMUP: The usual: 30 Sparklers, the Junk Sparkler, 10 Sparklers IC, the Sparkler.

Weather was a tossup so we did Sparkler Burpees (deceivingly difficult after two or three rounds) and some rock work until 6, when we left the Pavalon’s friendly confines for a prayer mosey – sounds weird but it was a highlight for me – and just one little backwards trip up Cardiac.

10 Sparklers when we got back to the Pavalon, then a sprint up Eaby everest to finish things off.

Prayed for various friends and situations, including a certain surgery happening today.

THE THANG:

6.6 mile Ruck to acquire a throne piece, map piece, and 2 clues. No confirmed Wolfdeer sightings but they were out there, no doubt. Tropicana was a master navigator and Sawdust was the master photographer of our throne piece/map/clues. Lady Luck was on our side as we acquired the second lightest throne piece and returned to base camp just as the rest of the PAX had finished our 1500 burpee requirement.
