Polar Bear Crawls and Burpees at sub-freezing Turning Point

17 pax eased into the frozen tundra of Turning Point this morning.  Who would have thunk that the number of pax would ever exceed the temperature at Turning Point?  Either it’s way too cold or Turning Point is catching on.  I prefer to go with the latter.  YHC figured what better way to beat the sub-freezing …
