THE DEAL:
Day four of the 2018 Gauntlet featured 31 PAX. Having just passed the halfway to the halfway point after conquering the Viper, the Kamikaze and the Tomcat, everybody seemed re-energized and ready for the Slammer. Shawshanks’s AOQ, Cheers, explained the details, and we were off. Here’s what went down…

* 21 Squats (AKA “leg dips”)
* Run to next set of steps
* 21 calf raises

Rinse and Repeat for 45 minutes, increasing reps by 1 each lap.

Fewer rucks and weighted vests were spotted this morning, but there was plenty of iron sharpening going on. Only one more day to go until we reach the halfway point of the 2018 Gauntlet!
