We warmed up with a few stretches here and there and moseyed to the back lot where we met up with light poles. Broke into three groups to tackle the course and

Each pole had a letter composed of the site THEYARD, but the letters were scrambled to ensure misery and extended running between poles. Most of us got two rounds under each pole.

Moleskine
Week 0 of Iron Pax delivered a gut check. The Tellier WOD is no joke — if your legs weren’t on fire, you’re probably not human.

The grind of burpees, merkins, lunges, sit-ups, and squats under shuttle-run fatigue was a brutal reminder of what sacrifice feels like in the smallest of ways.

When you’re tempted to quit or wish you had music blasting to push you through, remember — those this WOD honors didn’t get the choice to quit. They leaned into the hard. We honor them by finishing the reps, staying the course, and giving all we’ve got.

Shoutouts
– :clap: <@U5CVD8D7V> & <@U0603USPHAS> – came out on top today with strong finishes.
– :fire: The Machine (<@U19FA0Q8Z>) – strictest form in the lot, ensuring every rep was to standard. No shortcuts, no compromise.
– :raised_hands: <@U01JUGK82TY> – thanks for the opportunity to lead and set the tone.

COT / Takeaway
Steadfastness doesn’t come easy. It’s built under strain, in the moments when you want to stop but don’t. Today’s work was a small reminder of the cost others paid for our freedom — and the standard we’re called to uphold in return.

Prayers
:pray: For loved ones gone too soon.
:pray: For marriages — to be strengthened and rooted in faith.
:pray: For children as they grow into adulthood.
:pray: For the grace, gratitude, and discernment to ride the highs and endure the storms.

Do the hard things. Honor the sacrifice. Be the man your community needs.

Mark “Pitbull” McDowell WOD

Leave a comment

We had 4 PAX at Honey Badger for a hero WOD in honor of my friend and classmate Capt. Mark “Pitbull” McDowell. Here’s what we did:

The Thang

– Run 1 Mile
– 5 Minute Plank to honor the 5 service branches of the US Armed Forces
– 200 Calf Raises
– 300 LBCs
– Run 1 Mile
– 100 Muscle-ups on the wall at the school
– 200 Merkins
– 300 Squats
Return to COT

NMM

Monday we honored my friend Mark. Mark was a 4.25 GPA student, captain of the soccer team, and an all-around great young man. He was the guy you wanted to hate because he was good at everything. But once you got to know him, you learned that he was the type of guy you strived to be. When he graduated high school, he attended the Air Force Academy. Upon graduation in 2005, he completed Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, and Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals at Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi. Captain McDowell completed the Basic Qualification Course – F-15E in May of 2008 and was assigned to the 336th Fighter Squadron at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina.

Mark’s plane went down in Afghanistan. He left behind a wife, loving family, and many friends. As his grandfather said at his service, “He was born to fly and he died doing what he loved.”

If Mark were here today, he would have been the guy crushing the workout from the front with a smile on his face. He would have been the guy to encourage the whole time. Remember, we GET TO do this. Some others aren’t as blessed.

Aye!

Switcheroo at Block Party

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Quick lap of the parking lot then windmills, squats, light stretching
THE THANG: As the newly appointed (and very temporary Site Q) we did a mozy out of the parking lot and hung multiple rights to get to the parking lot behind Hobos for some four corners.
Pax to complete all exercises at each corner then do a full lap around the parking lot before getting to the next corner. Corners broken out as:
– Upper body (20 reps each) Merkins, CDDs, Dips, Shoulder taps
– Lower body (20 reps) Calf raises, Bomb jacks, Squats, Monkey humpers
– Abs (20 reps) Big boy sit-ups, American hammers, Flutter circles, Box cutters
– Full body (20 reps) Burpees, SSH, Mike Tyson’s, Single-leg merkins

Mozy to the parking lot across from what used to be the Hardee’s. (Kimbrell’s) Pax planked up for 4 plank-jacks, Mountain climbers, Shoulder taps, Superman’s. Rinse and repeat for reps at 4, 8, 16, 32.

Since we were in downtown Fort Mill, we did a quick history lesson on why the town has its name. (We are located half way between a British fort built to protect the Catawba Indians and Webb’s Mill). In honor of the town’s founding in 1873, we did 18 Merkins then ran down to the bottom of Main Street for 73 SSH.

We had about 5 minutes left at that point, so we did a mozy back to COT.
MARY: About 2 minutes worth
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel, Grow Ruck, H.I.M. Camp
COT: Family, Health, Marriages
