THE THANG:
Lap around the park
No man left behind – on Friday rucks, we do a lap first so that if someone arrives late, they can catch up.

Touch a tree, do a burpee. We made it to 20 on the lap around the park.

Discover that there are two F3 pavers! I thought there was only one! Its usually dark though.

COT:
Besides fulfilling the mission of plant, grow, serve, my personal goals for The Quacken were:
To make it a consistent AO
To partner with Big Ball and Brickyard
