Respect, Responsibility and Honesty

Five gents came together to share status and guidance on our most important earthly relationship. Great conversation and pointers shared.

Please pass the word to PAX throughout The Fort as this will be a weekly occurrence. Intent is to support each other and reinforce those marital guardrails.

WARMUP:
Mosey to Amor for SSH, windmill, squats and some broga
THE THANG:
Continued to mosey toward the red caboose to find the F3 scarecrow that 3D and Harry Carey put together. Dojo quickly pointed out that he was holding 86lbs of kettle bells. Good work guys of incorporating 43ft into the scarecrow.

5 rounds
3 pull ups
10 squats
5 dips on the parallel bars
10 knees to chest

After wrapping up the WOD we walked a loop of the neighborhood and every 5 mins we would stop and do merkins until failure. We 4 stops, most of us knocked out 100 merkins and found our way back to COT
