Mosey 100m back to homebase
Most of the exercises were performed at 20 reps each and in cadence where appropriate. About half way through the beatdown, a heckler (aka WallE) shows up on a bike. He watches and joins the mumble chatter, but doesn’t partake in the beatdown.
Count-o-rama, Name-o-rama.
COT: Grateful to the NJ Gov for increasing the # people gathering in the park. Grateful for the sacrifices of the fallen military members, veterans, and active duty service members. Grateful for the fellowship of the PAX for showing up in person after 65 days in isolation. A moment of silence was observed.
