Preamble:

14 PAX gathered to endure the last week of IPC today.  Luckily it was not another AMRAP but unfortunately it had the same back breaking exercises from last week including Thrusters and Blockees, adding in some Murder Bunnies and Reverse Murder Bunnies just in case that wasn't hard enough on the back.  I can say this was the worst IPC year I've encountered and not in a good way.

Warm-O-Rama:

Yes, we did some warm ups that included: Short mosey around the parking lot SSH, Weedpickers, forward and backward arm circles, and copperhead squats on the field
