The Workout:  PAX grabbed a medium-sized rock and circled up in main parking lot.  Q led the PAX in the following continuous exercises with their rock:  10 curls, 10 rut-ros, 10 over head presses, 10 triceps curls, and 10 goblet squats; dropped rocks and commenced executing 10 burpees.  Mosey to the hill.  It was frosty with the temps hovering at 30 F degrees.  PAX bear crawled up the hill; stopped at frozen guardrail and cranked out 5 irkins, 5 derkins and 5 dips.  With the frozen tundra, Q audibled and had the PAX not climb down the hill.  Recovered and climbed over the guardrail and proceeded single file in a jog down hill on sidewalk around the tennis courts back to the rocks.  Plank hold until the 6th  came in.  RINSE AND REPEAT 3X (four total).  Q threw in 25 LBCs for fun on last set.  Returned rocks and circled up in the tennis courts for Mary.
