Failure Is Inevitable

Leave a comment

Arrived 30 min early set up and awaited Grinder to arrive with the rest of the sandbags.

WARMUP: Imperial Walkers, Wind mills

THE THANG: I was very ambitious as I was not sure how many people would show up and how long it would take to get through each station. Partner up, Partner 1 Does exercise till failure while Partner 2 does the second exercise. Then once failure occurs Partner 1 hops down off the stage and runs to the corner of 160 & Ardrey St preform 2 burpees and runs back to relive Partner 2 so they can start the exercise till failure. One both have completed that station move to the left to the next station. After 45 min we Omahaed it took sandbags to the hill where I proceeded to connect 2 groups of sandbags to a rope. The task was to work in two groups to get the 200 plus pound sandbags up to the top of the hill. This was to simulate carrying dead weight such as a person if injured in a crisis.

Partner 1: Sandbag Curls till Failure

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.
