    The “Thang”:

    This route will further be known as “The Horseshoe”. Starting at the end of the sidewalk that leads to The Pump Station stairs, run down the stairs, across to the hill, up the hill, around the circle, and repeat until time. The route makes a giant “U” or horseshoe shape.

    Spreadsheets from the Gloom: This should have been titled “You vs U”, “You vs The U” or “You vs The ‘Shoe”. I’ll make sure to mend this error on future runs of this, which there will surely be. This one is SBD, simple, but deadly. A brutal combination of hills and stairs with just enough middle ground to maintain a steady push throughout the duration. It may become a mainstay in my Sunday run rotation, possibly adding a ruck/vest in for even more fun.

    1. Line: 10 Big Boy Sit-Ups
    2. Block: 10 Burpees

    o Every time the game tumbles, we will perform motivators from 10 to 1 and then start over.

    o Results: PAX made it to the final block remaining and Dutch (happy 7-year F3 manniversary today) made the blocks tumble and resulted in Motivators.
    o We began the next round but didn’t have time to complete it.
