WARMUP: 10x ssh, windmills, imp walks
THE THANG: there were 2 stations set up at opposite ends of the school, each with 6 assignments to complete, for example assignment 1 = 25 squats and 20 mike tysons, assignment 2 = 60 lbcs, etc.

Pax picked one station to complete assignment 1 and ran back to the middle to take a free throw. If they made it, they ran a lap around the track and proceeded to the other station to complete assignment 1 there, but if they missed, they did 10 derkens before doing their lap and going to the next station.

Pax alternated stations doing the next assignment each time with the free throw/lap/maybe derkens (probably derkens) after each assignment

Fun was had by all
MARY: nope
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yup
COT: prayers for career discernment and safety at our schools

THE THANG: 1776 reps of pain plus some running
COT: On this birthday of our country we added FNG Tang to our pax, EH’d by Mark Twain. Welcome brother! We sweat like crazy in the Gloom and let the familiar soreness settle in as the fireworks lit up the sky to honor our forefathers and our fellow Americans. Grateful to have been born in the USA and to share this life with my F3 brothers. May we stay United and foster Unity with those we meet each time we leave COT and enter the world around us. God Bless America!
