3rd Stop (TC Coffee) 7 LBCs, 15 Flutters

Keep it simple, keep it stupid

WARMUP: Mosey about 3 feet to the left into the parking lot for SSH, Imperial Walker, Low Slow Squat, Moroccan Night Club, Little Baby Arm Circles
THE THANG: Run out of the parking lot and clockwise around the path to where the wood chips go from the top of the hill to the field.
Dora with 100 merkins, 200 squats, 300 LBCs. Partner runs down the hill and back up.
Next was 11s starting with 1 pullup and running to the end of the wood chips for 10 bomb jacks (was going to be BBSU, but a well placed #TWSS knocked that information out of my head)
Mosey clockwise back around the path to the parking lot to grab a soccer ball.
Took turns with a kicker and 3 chasers. Kicker would give the ball a swift kick and start doing SSH. The chasers would run after the ball and the first one to touch it got to bring it back while those who lost did 3 burpees.
MARY: About 90 seconds of stretching
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CSAUPs, rumors of a Christmas party, D2D fundraising is coming
COT: Talked about the Trust in CoT. Asked for the PAX to reveal things that required trust, I’m done with the prayer chain after a workout, I want to work on the men who attended. Tell me something that requires some vulnerability

Dora and Corners

WARMUP:
Short but not quick mosey, SSH, Merkins, Mtn Climbers, and Windmills.
THE THANG:
Mosey to the wall and have a seat. Chairs not provided. Take turns 10 yd bear crawl, 2 burpees or 5 mtn climbers, bear crawl back. Of course Fishstix had to step up with a reverse bear crawl back. I think he learned that from the Alcatraz bear, because his form was on point.
Wrapped and moseyed to the next station for Dora with 100 Dips, 200 Squats , 300 LBCs. The partner mosey was short so the reps stayed short too.
Wrapped and moseyed back to the starting point for a 10 minute 4 Corners exercise.
Mountain Climbers – Mosey
American Hammers – Toy Soldiers
Squats – Mosey
Lunges – Butt Kickers

MARY: Wrapped with 5 minutes of Abs.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Prepare for The Fort’s CSAUP trifecta. Bethel Men’s Shelter meal on 7/4. Fort Mill Care Center lawn on Saturdays. Lots going on. Read the newsletter and use your gifts to support your community.

COT: prayers for safe travels, children at camp and parents missing them, health concerns and recovery from surgery, wisdom and patience as parents for 2.0’s make their own choices. All concerns unsaid. Slapshot wrapped with our prayer.

Thank you. It is always an honor to lead and learn from this community.
