First partner starts with 1 burpee, sprints a triple, 5 HRMs, bear crawls to home plate and holds plank until the other partner returns. Next partner increase the burpee by one and does the same set of exercises while the other runs to/around the track and back. Continue the sets up to 9 burpees.

NMS

YHC played baseball through high school and has heard, “Baseball is boring!” many times in his life. YHC has come to understand that those who say this oftentimes have never played the sport. This is like someone who has never been on a soccer team and has no idea what is going on during a soccer match (things like trying to tie with a 0-0 score and keeping the ball from the opponent).

YHC decided to provide a “fun” baseball experience. The HRMs on the dusty field led to some dirty shirts and shorts! It added to the fun. YHC attempted to match 9 “innings” with the 9 rotations at the baseball field.

Mumble chatter was high. Yardsale is a talking machine. Emoji’s energy is unmatched. Bulkhead always has something witty and funny to say. We all missed seeing Mudface.

It is an honor to lead and YHC will look to lead as many times as possible before departing for Jersey at the end of June.

SYITG!
