Even though YHC never played football nor was in the service, my family members went through their college careers at the Naval Academy. So YHC has had a special connection to todays game and the importance of our military and how they learn to be leaders and be accountable. Unlike other schools, their rivalry is not about hating the other, it’s about pride and duty. Isn’t that what we are called to be as leaders, fathers, and mentors? It’s not about being better than the guy next to you, it’s about helping and “I am Third”.

So in honor of this great tradition, YHC and Gears lead the PAX on a Navy PT theme. 12 PAX decided to challenge themselves after our F3 Christmas party the night before with lots of cold suds.

The Thang:
Mossy in formation through the streets of Tega Cay.
COP x15 each:
SSH
IW
Merkins (for those doing the December Merkin Challenge)
Russian Squats
Windmills

Mossy to playground and pick up a paver on the way; break into 3 groups
Group 1 = 10 pullups
Group 2 = 5 Mountain Burpees
Group 3 = 15 Squats with Pavers
Rinse and repeat

Mossy to baseball field and line up at one end:
Army crawl to other side and do
10 merkins, 20 LBC, 10 wide arm merkins, 20 Russian twists, 10 diamond merkins, 20 scissor kicks
Army crawl back and repeat cycle.

Navy seal sit ups
Flutter kicks
Rinse and Repeat

Handoff to Gears

Line up in parking lot and complete slurpies
Sprint to first cone and back, 10 Sgt Dan rotations
Sprint to second cone and back, 1 burpee
repeat until you hit 5 each

Run to Tega Cay Golf Course trail and pickup a nice rock
Jack curls: 1 merkin with one hand on rock, 4 bicep curls. Increase to 10/40 and alternating hands on rock
Run back to COT

As always an honor to lead a great group of PAX and grow as a leader and be accountable. We continue to ask for prayers to those PAX injured and for the sad clowns. To our service members, prayers to all who serve this country and have to be away from family during the holiday season. GO NAVY!
