Warm Up: Pax took a moment of silence for Warchild, followed by Pledge of Allegiance. Mosey around Symphony Lake to open area by tents. SSH x50, Good Mornings x10, Sir FAC x20
The Workout: 5K pace around Symphony Lake with periodic stopping points called out by YHC for 10 Burpees x3.  We then exited the lake and went over to Peregrine Pl. for Simple 7’s. Simple 7’s were done in remembrance of our brother Warchild. Warchild came down to Southwake and led a workout with Simple 7’s on a halfpipe.   7 rounds of hill repeats with 7 Star Jumps at the top and 7 Burpees at the bottom.  Pax then headed back around backside of lake at 5K pace to parking lot for 2 Burpees OYO. This put us at 81 Burpees total, to remind PAX doing BRR we have 81 days until the showdown.    3.7 Miles covered and 300′ of elevation gain!
