Tha Thang
Earning 50 Stars
Pax moseyed to the bottom of the scoreboard hill.

Oshag was the flag bearer, so he was tasked with running up the hill and planting the flag at the far end of the football field. Then, he did three burpees at the base of the flag (some pax did four).

Meanwhile, the other pax did AMRAP LBC’s, waiting for their brother-in-arms to return.

Once the brother-in-arms returns, he clapped the Liberty Clapper and declared the next AMRAP exercise. The next brother-in-arms was then dispatched to run up the hill, run to the flag, and do their burpees at the base of the flag. They came back, clapped the Liberty Clapper, and declared the next AMRAP exercise. And so forth.
The result was 50 burpees at the base of the flag.

Earning 13 Stripes
Once the 50 stars were earned, then it was time to mosey to the coupons to earn 13 stripes.

There are 13 stripes on Old Glory for the 13 original colonies, not 11, so we did 13’s. Started off doing the heavy load (12) on one sideline, running to the other sideline to do one. 11,2. 10,3. And so forth.
• Shoulder Presses & Squats
• Curls & Big Boy Sit-ups (interrupted due to time)

Moseyed back to base camp for COT and coffeeteria.

Great to have Buzz Kill and Wicket join us!

End in COT
