Cinder blocks procured from the pain locker, one for each person.

Bicep static curls, each person holds a cinder block in a curl position, facing outward. Each person runs around the outside of the circle, one at a time pushing on each block. The exercise concludes when the entire Pax has gone around the circle once.

Stacking Relay Race, 4 teams of 4, plus an extra. This was a straight-up 30 – 40 yard dash with a cinder block, each team member adding a block to the end-to-end stack, and returning to tag a team-mate. Teams ran a 5th leg to make sure everyone had a chance. Team Bogie, DQ, Swiftie and Backstreet won by a slight margin.
