It was during this that we picked up a War Eagle
Over to a flat area
Bears eat Crabs
One person bear crawls and tries to eat the crabs. But before he does that he has to work up an appetite by doing 3 burpees. Meanwhile crabs crabwalk away. Once he tags a crab they can bear crawl and they both do 3 burpees and then go after remaining crabs. Last crab becomes bear for next round.
This seemed to go over well however some changes would be recommended:
Start with 2 bears (or more if more PAX than today)
Have a smaller defined area.
Mary at end for time and then off to the Flag. Ended up getting our numbers to 13 with the addition of Hawgcycle.
Ended with COT.
Final Message: A couple of weeks ago I got the song The Middle by Jimmy Eat World stuck in my head. Thinking of ways to use this for good, I decided to craft a workout around this. Reflecting more on this theme however, I felt called to share with the PAX that we are all in the middle of something, or will be. And we must remember that it is just that, The Middle. And if we ever feel like our Middle is too much for us to handle, we should feel no qualm about reaching out to another one of our brothers to help us carry our middle.
