The 2 bug questions

WARMUP: mosey to the band stand after disclaiming- all exercises I/C – SSH, MNC, windmills, imperial and hillbilly walkers, merkins and planks.

THE THANG: two important questions – pax started by answering question 1 with the two words you want to be said in describing you in 2024.  After answering with the chalk, pax moseyed to the bus loop for 7’s. The exercises changed with each lap.

Mosey to the side lot for question 2 – “what will you do to make your answer to question 1 clear?”  Then pax took the hill and changed the mode of transportation every few light poles until the top was crested.

5 merkins at very light pole on the way back to COT.  Note: there were a lot of light poles.

MARY:  No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yes
COT: 5th core principle

Pre-Convergence Convergence

There were Ruckers and runners.

Barry Manilow led the runners for 5+ miles around The Fort.

The bootcampers were led first by Maximus with a SSH x Merkin combo x2 to warm up.
After a quick warm up, the weinke was
10 merkins, 10 mountain climbers (double count) at each of the 9 swings around the park. When done and waiting on the 6 to fill in, hold an Al Gore. To wrap up, starting at the bottom of the grassy hill from the parking lot, flutter kicks, then burpees at the top of the hill.

Cake Boss took second shift with playtime at the playground.
Partnering up, one partner does squats, while the other runs around the playground. Then flapjack. Next was pull ups/merkins following the same format. To wrap up, keeping the same partner, one bear crawled across the field and run back, while the other did flutters. Flap jack until 3 rounds were done.

Fogerty took us home with some 11’s and hill repeats.
At the bottom of the hill with the statue, started with 10 merkins and bombjacks. Half way up the hill, 5 burpees, then 1 squat and big boy sit-up. No burpee on the way back down the hill. Repeat until 11’s are done cutting out the burpees when you hit 5 & 6.

This was a fun 60 min bootcamp.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Clave Boss & convergence in 12/23. Happy Birthday Walker. Tallawah is officially closed for good.

THE THANG: Run a 4 mile loop: https://f3thefort.com/2022/02/25/stl-just-keep-going/ (if you wanna see the route. side note: it wasn’t my first rodeo on this route)

Stop along the way for deconstructed burpees:

Repeat the full 5 steps each subsequent stop

PAX were advised to just jump in where the most guys were when they got to the exercises, or to skip the exercises entirely and just keep running.

When we stretch to a route that necessitates covering 4 miles, YHC gets worried about leaving PAX. We managed to stay together and Fishstix + Badlands picked up the 6 today making sure we all arrived back at COT resting on 4 miles. Bravo gentlemen!

NMM:
Sometimes we have to choose the hard thing ourselves. Sometimes we have to choose to do the hard thing that life is handing us. If we skirt away from doing the what’s difficult when needed, what worse thing will be waiting for us in the future?
