Warning Lights

WARMUP: a series of exercises with 1 rep (yes, DOAH, ONE rep!) plus some moseys and other movements around the loop to the playground

THE THANG: The main event theme was Blue Ridge Relay training in the form of hill repeats up Stairway to Heaven, followed by exercises at the statue down the right side of the Stairway, then a mosey back to start. The winner of each heat picked the exercise and then started the next heat with a 5 count delay for the others to run ahead. The last couple heats involved some partner exercises. We wrapped up with a collection of Burpees.

MARY: Done throughout the Main Event

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter

COT: yes, as required by the 5th Core Principle (in proper order, DOAH)

This group can sprint! Jekyll, Spike, Ruby, Davinci, Dojo, Minuteman and Super G kicked into the highest gear they've probably seen in a while. Well done! Keep up the sprinting! Fishstix says we need it to stay young.

Along the way, the pax shared experiences and suggestions on ways to monitor our life gauges (ie, overheating mentally, running out of gas physically, etc), including watching each other's dashboards and calling out when a brother may be in a potential red zone. Am I watching my dashboard before the crash? Am I truly listening to feedback from others who care about me?

Thanks to everyone for pushing me through another BRR training session! Thanks to Minuteman for the invite!
