Introduction
A trip to the dam is in order. Oh, and bring the Korona Bells.
Warm-O-Rama
Disclaimer, grab a KB, and mosey over to the base of One Tree Hill for:
Weed Pickers 10X IC
LBAC’s fwd/back 10X each IC
Overhead Claps 10X IC
Seal Claps 10X IC
Abe Vigodas 10X IC
Mountain Man Poopers 10X IC
SSH 10X IC
The Thang
Mosey up and over OTH to The Dam. Elevens with BBSU and squats. Run across The Dam in between reps. Take the KB with you for 5 rounds. Goblet squats when you have the KB.
YHC did the 1st four rounds with the KB, then switched it out with Pebble’s KB for the 5th round. YHC also tried to pace DakoToes, which was not easy. QT is a beast.
Around round 7, YHC instructed PAX to stay on the Hill side of The Dam and finish the reps there. We needed to wrap up the elevens to get to the next Thang. Once reps were completed, back up and over OTH (ouch!) down to the street. COVID-19 has a new meaning this morning:
19 reps each of:
Curb hops with KB
Overhead press with KB
V-Ups
Inverted Rows (not really….we did bent over rows, but YHC needed it to start with an I)
Derkins on the hill
Gentleman had the wisdom of a great sage and “thought someone grabbed his KB”. He “reluctantly” went to grab it whilst the rest of us completed our COVID Test.
Mosey back to flag for 6MOM. LBC’s, Freddie Mercury’s, OnePly’s, Pickle Pounders, Scissors, Flutters, Box Cutters, and a Big Finish with Dane’s Big Finish. Kudos to some of our first time counters!
0615. Well done!
Circle of Trust
Count-o-rama. Name-o-rama. YHC read a quote from C.S. Lewis:
“The moment you wake up each morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists of shoving it all back, in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in.”
May we be men who learn how to listen to that stronger, quieter voice. May we find rest in the midst of chaos. May we find peace in the midst of war.
Bremen convergence tomorrow! Q School on Monday! The Grove launches on September 7th! The Grind launches September 12th!

Shout out to Slalom and Pebble for showing up this week….it was a particularly hard week to be introduced to F3!
Shout out to Snowflake for continuing to beat the fart sack despite being on the IL. And to OnePly for his willingness to help Snowflake. That’s true leadership.
Way to work this morning!
