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.
