WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Windmill
THE THANG:
It’s been said that a real man can do 100 burpees in 10 minutes so we put it to the test.
Thang 1
100 Burbees in 10 minutes .
A timer was set for 1 minute intervals with no rest in between. The goal was to do 10 burpees each minute. Rest period is if you finish 10 burpees in less than a minute. (Pro tip: if you a get 11 per minute you basically have a minute rest at the end).
We moseyed around to the basket ball courts.
Thang 2
We lined up at the base line for 100 LBCs. Then we ran to the far base line of the next court for the next exercise of 100 Squats. Run back to the 1st base line and plank up for the six. Next round: 100 flutter kicks (R + L =1), run to the far base line for 100 lunges (50 each leg). Run back to the 1st base line.
Thang 3
Starting at the base line, bear crawl forward 4 steps, then do 1 merkin, 1 plank jack, and 1 shoulder tap (R +L = 1). Repeat, adding 1 rep to each exercise each time—bear crawl forward 4 steps, then do 2 merkins, 2 plank jacks, and 2 shoulder taps. Continue until you reach 10 reps of each exercise or reach the opposite base line, whichever comes last.
We moseyed back to the flag

The Fort is where it all started…need I say more. For many of the Pax of the Fort, this was their first post and it set the tone their journey since that time. While the Fort has multiplied many times over since it inception in 2012, this AO stands as the cornerstone for the culture, fellowship and brotherhood for our region.
YHC was excited to be asked to Q and while I had to navigate some calendar issues, it was an opportunity not to be missed.
In preparation for the Q, it was an easy decision to reach out to my Shieldlock brother, DD, to co-Q with me. He and I had been traveling this week and a beat down with some fellowship was just what the doctor ordered to remedy that jet lag.
