Know your place

WARMUP: rucked over to old Kingsley
THE THANG: continued rucking around old Kingsley loop and back to bigger parking lot on far west side. We then did a small set of exercises: 10 squats, 10 curls, 10 overhead presses.

Next up was a goal of a 15 min, 1 mile time hack. Instructions were: single file line, we’d rotate the man in front to the back every .2 miles, we had to stay together within a 1-2 arm reach, only the man in front and back could talk in terms of instructions on spacing, speed, etc.

We did pretty well keeping together until the end when our spacing separated a bit to much so while we did make the time back, we didn’t complete it all together.

Quick AAR (after action report) in the parking lot on what went well / didn’t go well. Comments were: difficult to stay silent when not in the front / back, the need to ask for help when trying to keep up, need for more talking from the back.

Another set of the 3 exercises noted above. Then back to COT going the short way as we were running low on time.
MARY: not today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: check
COT: check

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.

KABOOM at Colosseum

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Disclaimer only
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!
