It was an honor to be able to lead the workout this morning. This was diffident from most workouts because of the number of times we stopped to talk. However I felt it important to share with the guys what is happening around them. We also were able to congratulate Double D in his hand off of Nantan to Esso. Double D, thank you for you service to the pax. You have always been someone who ask the tough questions that challenge us and I thank you for that and what you did for our Region during your reign as Nantan. Esso, I look forward where you are going to take us and your energy to lead. We have a bright future ahead.

It was an honor to spend this morning with so many leaders in our community. 16 was the count for 4.65 miles. The route was as follows: R on 160 towards downtown, L on Main, Cross over Clebourne to Springs, R on Summersby where Springs ends, R on Unity, R on Tom Hall, Cross over Main to Clebourne, R on 160, L into parking lot.

Today’s COT was a reminder of the value in posting each morning. We have the opportunity to live life with High Impact Men that make us better. We discussed fatherhood, health challenges, stress, and being the leaders our community needs. Keep a lookout for upcoming challenges from The Fort’s SLT. We are needed now more than ever.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead, Anchorman. And thanks to the PAX for helping me start my day off on the right foot!

Aye!

Posted In: the yard

Mosey to road behind school for 10 burpees at each of 5 light poles with various forms of lunge walks between each pole

mosey to picnic tables for some step ups, dips, derkins

rinse and repeat above with flutters in place of Al Gores

pick a partner and line up like WR vs DB. DB runs defensive route to keep pace with WR for about 10-20 yds. flapjack. rinse and repeat full length of field

100 yd bear crawl back to starting end zone

mosey back to parking lot for 10 burpees, then sprint home

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 8/4 convergence, 1st F Q transition, trash pickup

COT: It was great to be back with the pax after much travel over past 2+ months.

the past 3 days involved lifting heavy stuff (Cindy at the Bubble and sandbags at Stockade) so today was “no lift day”

besides the heavy weight in the Gloom for two days, I’ve been carrying heavy stuff on the workforce for 2 months. I’ve been missing the pax during this period and all the mental reminders and affirmation just isn’t enough to keep me in a clear headspace without the benefit of a push from the pax in the Gloom.

thanks to Bitcoin for the invite and thanks to the pax for posting and always filling my tank!

Warm-up began with short mosey to church parking lot. Some pax were lucky enough to carry a sandbag. Teams of three were formed, luckily we had just enough to form six teams. Seven rounds of exercises, team members rotated to each exercise. The first exercise (motion) acted as the clock. Once complete, rotate to next exercise.

Round Motion Exercise 1 Exercise 2
1 Run to church Squat with SB SSHs
2 Sandbag carry H/R Merkin LBCs
3 Inch Worm merkins Flutter/press Calf Raise
4 Sandbag toss Shoulder Taps Jump Squats
5 Burpee Broad Jump Diamond Merkin S. Press
6 Lunge walk w/bag Carolina Dry Dock Hello Dollies
7 Bear Crawl Man Maker American H

Most got through round 6, need to adjust cone distance or save the workout for 1hr.
Great job everyone!

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!
