Grab ‘em by the ears

WARMUP: ran around big parking lot. Max was right that when you say “he won’t run far, he has boots on”, that’s a bit of a lightning bolt to make you want to run further and faster.

We stopped for round 1 of 11×33 paying tribute to our boy Cha-Ching. 11 burpees, 33 SSH OYO. Kept running back to COT for round 2 of 11×33. Rucks on, sandbags on, 10 squats OYO.
THE THANG: Picked up our kb and headed towards the stop light. Dropped the gear for 20 in / erkins (incline merkins). Grabbed the rucks for 20 shoulder presses.

Headed down the hill with all our gear and stopped half way for 20 tricep extensions (dropped sandbag, kept ruck on). Left kb and put the sandbag on for the bottom of the hill. Bottom of hill with ruck on, AMRAP the sandbag for shoulder presses. Back up the hill to the kb spot.

Drop the sandbag, grab the kb (by the ears I guess) for front shoulder lifts – AMRAP. Reason for the AMRAPs is because we wanted to max out and guys had different weights…and different stopping points.

Gear up and back up the hill to our incline merkin spot at the light. After 20, gear up to the school entrance for the last stop. Drop all the gear, ruck overhead for another 20 shoulder presses. Back to COT to drop the gear, then a lap around the small lot…with round 3 of 11×33. (We did have at least 4 former 1stF Qs present so why not…and then 9 other beasts, all with 1stF leadership qualities and/or current or previous site Q roles.)
MARY: Mixed it up and replaced core work with stretching let in a rotating fashion (core principle #4).
ANNOUNCEMENTS: thanksgiving convergence is on…thanksgiving. Upcoming December CSAUP- be there and get a team.

Do difficult and uncomfortable things! Life is going to throw these at you – why not prepare yourself!
COT: CSPAN style because we all need this.

It wasn’t a basketball court but it will do

WARMUP: just ran around the school and then took a bonus lap around the long loop….. people were questioning whether this was a running AO. Small circle: Windmills, Slow Low Squats, Merkins, Mountain climbers, Merkins, Mountain Climbers, Morracan Night Clubs, Squats, Seal jacks
THE THANG: Ran to end of parking lot and made make shift basketball court for the purposes of line drills (formally known as Suicides). We ran 50% and then did an exercise. We continued to do this until I ran out of things to do and the clock got close to 6. We finished with a “full” parking lot line drill and a circle for some stretches to cool down. Everyone enjoyed the Burpees and the fact we were as slow as our brothers.
MARY: Too good at time management to need this…
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men’s, Dam to Dam, probably something else…
COT: Prayers for children in our schools, marriages
