The Gauntlet was thrown well in advance with a Pre Blast promising a WOP (World of Pain). Jekyll has the Q for all 4 June Laces In.  YHC laid out the challenge of a weekly workout that will challenge the body, the spirit, and the will.  The Pax was asked to step up and push past their own “limits”.  4 weekly installments of an all out punishment that opens with 100 burpees.  WHAT?  that’s right- 100 burpees.  The challenge will be to do better than your mark from the previous week.  Would the PAX respond?  Damn right, they did!

In the vein of doing better next week than your where you finished in this week’s beatdown- I challenge each of you to be better than you were the day before.  Were you more kind or thoughtful today than yesterday?  Did you stay on task and focused at work better today than yesterday?  Did you look your wife in the eyes while she was talking to you and were “present” better today than yesterday?  Men of The Fort: Be better today than you were yesterday.

For those of you reading this that did not post, and want to test your mettle, come take the challenge.  We’ll be here.

    I am still trying to understand 100 burpees right out of the gate. Felt about like hitting a “smooooooth” 54 on the back 9. And I hate golf too.

    Nice Q… thanks for the beatdown.

  2. Jekyll says:

    That made me laugh so hard! The shock factor alone of opening with 100 burpees is gold! you did great my man. See you next week if not before.

  4. Tatanka says:

    Oh dear Lord I just noticed this lunacy actually ends with 100 burpees. WTF Q?

    Apparently they feed us hardwork and too much pain with some “not too bright” drizzled all over the top.

    I am old – but I am slow. #burpeesrule #cantwaitforthenippler

    Impressive beat down! I am almost sorry I missed it! Ha ha!
    Very impressed with the challenges to be better men outside the AO.
    Time to stress that a little more….better husbands makes everyone happy!
    Peace!

    Tatanka- If you are already looking to the end- I like where your head’s at! gonna have to go fast. I bet it could be completed in an hour- but 45 minutes?? We shall see!!

    So here’s the thang – the LOML is in Seattle next week. Stuck with the 2.0 – or as I referred to this morning in COT – the “dream killer” (I joke – love my peanut). So no go next Thurs.

    Then the 3rd Thurs of the month I will be in Sonoma for work – Sprint Cup racin’ in wine country. #classy

    So I will see you on the last Thurs… unfortunately the nippler may be out of reach.

    Now everyone is up to speed on my June schedule for Thursday. Welcome.

    Morning Gents,
    Have I mentioned “old men-which I am still not one” need a little foreplay and a warmup?
    Jekyll- that was great fun today. You had me at the signboard and lantern light…
    I need a nap,
    CSPAN out
    1/4 completed poorly, I am in for 4/4 with worse results

    Forgot about the signboard. Package would have had that thing on his finest corrugated materials and fully pimped on the printing from Kinko’s.

    The LLBean camp latern was a nice touch. Very sensitive.
