Introduction
Love the 25 minute drive to THE WOOD…. Windows down… Cranking some Slayer and Anthrax, getting my mind right for what was to be a bad ass beatdown. (Looking back, I am confident that was achieved)… Cold morning… Dark AF… Heavy Metal music… Can not beat it…. Arrived around 4:45 am to get set up and do a quick jog around the AO….

PAX 2 sprints from cone to cone while PAX 1 does burpees… GOAL WAS 100 total
1/2 way through I switched it up to do blockies… We killed it for about 10 total minutes.
After that we John Cusacked to the HILL of FILTH…. This sucked 🙂
Started with 25 overhead presses OYO
Followed by 25 lunges uphill
Followed by decline merkins (feet towards top of hill)
Followed by slow lunges down the hill
We did this a few times
Followed by numerous hill sprints… Numerous hill burpees…. Numerous merkins… BONNIE BLAIRS…. SPRINTS….. Burpees…. Bear crawls…. Today was a great burn (I hit 780 calories burnt on the tracker)
