The 3 costs of leadership

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey to springs building lot for various exercises with 2 burpees in between each. Mosey to the pike energy lot for act 1

THE THANG: Cost #1 – You will have to make hard decisions that negatively affect people you care about.
Partner up for Dora
100 – Boxcutters
200 – Squats
300’- Flutters

Mosey to Act 2 at Subway
Cost #2 – You will be disliked despite your attempts to do the best for the most
Dora – Same partner, new count
50 – Burpees
100 – Merkins
150 – Squats

Mosey to bank lot for a plank and act 3:
Cost #3 – You will be misunderstood and will not always have the opportunity to defend yourself.
Mosey to the WEP running path – with 12 minutes to go YHC called 5 burpees, 10 squats and 15 SSH’s at each swing. It was a bit aggressive. Modified to 5 hand release merkins from the 4th swing on.

JWOW found his landholdings at WEP to be in good working order, so we proceeded and
all finished in time for COT at 0730.

YHC is also pleased to report that the perceived minimum burpee requirement of Slapahot’s was also reached – all of them.

MARY: No time – had work to finish
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Go pick up trash afterward. So many PAX did.
COT: 5th core principle

Thanks to Grinder for the call. Always a privilege to lead where it all started.
