Introduction
100% chance of rain. 100% chance of pain.
Warm-O-Rama
YHC arrived early to channel his inner Mr. Pink and unload a few toys to play with today. Unfortunately, the covered pavilion is 200 yards from the parking lot. Even more unfortunately, the rain was coming in strong. After a few trips back and forth, YHC was showered, warmed up, and ready to roll. He was happy to see not 1, not 2, but 3 HIMs pulling into the lot. The fart sack will not win the day!
Quick mosey to pavilion. Circle up, disclaimer, warm-o-rama.

Five stations. AMRAP for 1 minute. 15 seconds to rotate stations, repeato.
Station 1: Box Jumps (on an official, hand made F3 West Cobb box)
Station 2: Curls with 30 pound KB
Station 3: American Hammers with 8 pound KB

In between sets, we did a round of mary, with each PAX calling an exercise. Got through 4 sets total and 4 rounds of mary. The last two sets we did in reverse order.
Circle of Trust
YHC reminded the PAX that we are built for opposition. When it comes our way, let’s lean in a little. Let’s see what we can learn. Let’s not immediately try to minimize the uncomfortable or unfortunate. And most important, let’s remember that “Our battle isn’t against flesh and blood…”
Prayers for Ramblin’s aunt, diagnosed with cancer and about to begin treatment. Prayers for Yak’s Texas family. And colleagues in Texas and the West coast.
Praise for 10 years’ sobriety for Kathmandid. Amazing!
Naked Man Moleskin
There’s just something about being in the rainy, cold gloom at 5AM that stirs the soul. Great work this morning! Shout out to the other AO’s struggling well in the gloom.
The Great Hill was unattainable today due to rain. Stairs had to suffice. The day approaches, however. The Great Hill will be taken soon.
