WARMUP: Following the standard warm-up, we jumped right into the first Thang.
THE THANG: This workout was a repeat from a workout in the F3 Lake Effect region.
Thang 1 – Jammed out to Tubthumping by Chumbawamba and did burpees whenever the phrase, "I get knocked down".
Thang 2 – We split into three groups and carried three 60# sandbags to the open field in front of the serpentine stairs. Lines of three PAX moved their respective sandbags across the field by doing a sandbag toss and then running back to the cone where one burpee was completed. Once across the field, we repeated.
Thang 3 – We did a workout to Thunder Struck by AC/DC and did a merkin everytime the word Thunder was uttered.
Thang 4 – We did a workout to Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler with Boat Canoe and Superman repeated whenever the phrase, Turn Around, was sung. YHC also just learned that Bonnie Tyler passed away on July 8 at the age of 75.
Thang 5 – We returned to the sandbags and repeated the above workout except with a side toss and a Bernie Sanders as the travel back to the cone. Two burpees were completed at the cone.
MARY: We attempted the 007 but only had 1 min.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: F3 Lunch @ Mission BBQ on Friday and convergence/anniversary on Aug 1 at Wake Tech East (Outbreak).
COT: Prayers for Ascot's person who fell from bunkbed, Floppy's MIL, and Thing's mention of kid having brain surgery. Continued prayers for job situations.

Thank you for allowing me to lead today.
