Introduction
There’s alot going on and rather than try to do everything yourself, try to get a little help from your friends.
Warm-O-Rama
Mosey’d down to the second parking lot.
4-count SSH x 13
4-count Windmills x13
4-count Weed Pickers x 13
4-count baby arm circles (forward & reverse) x13
4-count Seal claps x13
The Thang
This is when we started to let our friends help us out.
Started with a little Best Ball action. The entire crew will perform the exercise, until one of the PAX reaches the designated max count.
Burpees X 50 – Samurai Monkey got there first right as the rest of us got to somewhere around 25-30
Merkins X 75 – RapidFire got to 75 First and we were all extremely thankful
Moseyed back to the flag (where it should have been anyway).
BBSU X 100 – YHC (DakoToes) got there first and was proud he finally got best ball (in the gloom or actual golf)
SSH x 150 – this was fun to watch Tri-Doc and Sloppy Joe go after this one. It was a battle right from the start and Sloppy got there first.
We then transitioned to a Board of Pain, once again, rely on your friends for some help.
Every PAX was responsible for 3 sets of each of the following exercises:
4-count shoulder taps x 20
Broad Jump x15
LBC x 50
AAK (Bruce Lees) x 20
4-count Mtn Climbers
Jump Squats x 20
Take a Lap (to the dumpster and back)
Curb Dips x 20
Some of us picked up exercises we were good at in exchange for those we werent.
17 sets were not completed by the 0615 deadline. 9 Mtn Climbers, 5 LBCs, and 3 Jump Squats.
Circle of Trust
YHCs aunt Renee was sent home from the hospital after a succesful bout with cancer.
YHCs memory isnt the best anymore. trying to get these BB done asap as to not forget what was brought up, but YHC is certain he’s missing something. Asking for Grace and a notepad going forward.
Naked Man Moleskin
There’s a lot going on, lean on Christ, and lean on your friends. We’ll get through this; it’ll be ok in the end, if its not ok, then its not the end.
Gucci said it as succinctly and as accurate as possible; dont lament the darkness, light a candle.
That is our mission. We need to be the change in the communities we lead. Easier said than done, but so is getting out the COT at 0500 for a 0530 beatdown.
see you all soon
