11 hearty PAX gathered to welcome back Frack from the Rona and also cheer Manti on as he completed his Ocho.

Warmup: Yog around the block and do some exercises in multiples of eight.

The Thang: Crazy Eights ladder. Gather in the warm neon glow of the Virginia Varsity. The PAX numbered off. Even though Pipeline was number 11, as Q he went first and chose eight burpees. The PAX then run around half the soccer field and back to the starting position. PAX #1, Rick James, picked an exercise to add to the eight burpees. Pipeline chose the reps. Another run. The next PAX chooses an exercise to add; Pipeline chose the reps. Run. Rinse and repeat.
