• The new site has a lot to offer. The opening lap was a brief tour of what was there.
• There’s lots of visibility at this location, and that will hopefully lead to growth from sad clowns in the region.
• T-Claps to Heisenberg and Triple Shift for making the trek out to celebrate the new site.
• MABA is looking to hit 1 million burpees, and YHC did his part by handing out 102 to each pax.

The Truly Sweet Beat Down – from Fracsac

Ruck Burpee RunLine up in a column with first pax carrying sweetness. Front Pax rucks forward while column drops for 5 burpees. Last man runs to front to take sweetness. Rinse and repeat.
Midway through, and near the Joy, stopped for Jack Webb’s up to 5 merkins x 10 air presses, then continue back toward flag with ruck burpees and running.COT
NMM
• We stayed on the streets and the bike path, doing an approximate 3 mile loop.
• The Jack Webb’s served as a rest period, hence only going up to 5 merkins.
•. There was hand sanitizer provided to keep all safe with physical distancing as appropriate.
• YHC estimated between 160 and 200 burpees, but didn’t seem that bad when doing only 5 at a time.
• Sweetness is a beautiful 60 lbs sandbag. There’s a Sandy out there somewhere. Rumor has it they’ll be together at the Bawbwa Wawa tomorrow, like a pair of fun bags you won’t be able to ignore. You know you want to look…..SYITG

On to the back of the museum for Sunday Mornings.

Who is the Q? Gotta get those Burpees in – from Hokie
Last night @Stiletto wrote in asking where I was posting. Upon reviewing the calendar I noticed no one was signed up to Q at El Diablo.
On the drive in this AM, I thought “what will we do if there is no Q?”
Upon my arrival in the Gloom I was greeted by 3 Pax (@Stiletto, @Logo, @Bogey). As I planted the flag, I mentioned not seeing anyone signed up to Q and volunteered to show off what I thought of during my drive in 😉
After a typical disclaimer, combined with disclaiming I would desire to get in 100 burpees we started with a quick warm up on the football field with
