The Norway Row and Stuff

There was a storm brewing over at Cockpit and you could cut the anticipation with a knife as The Pax eagerly awaited The Polish Mating Dance!

We headed down over to the locked up pull-up bars for apparently no pull-ups. We pivoted with a double Dora.

Headed over to Cindy for some Striking Viking Norway 🇳🇴 rows in honor of the World Cup.

Back to COT for prayers and praises.

Chutes and Ladders 🪜- Round 2

Backblast! 1 Jarvis + 1 Bobber = Acceleration
DATE: 2026-06-09
AO: The Ballroom
It was a steamy morning at Slow Burn and the PAX were chomping at the bit to accelerate.

Quick warmup with the stretching and we were off.

Over to the hill for some Chutes and Ladders. 🪜 There were two cones at each station and the PAX had to choose one of them. If they chose a C we had to Chute (run) up to the top of the hill. If it was an L we would run up to the next rung on the ladder. Each rung had two cones and some exercises. I think the PAX had drone footage of me setting up the cone this morning as they found almost all of the Ladders this morning.

Back to COT for prayers and praises.

MARY: No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter
COT: Remains the 5th core principle
NMM:
The Q is responsible for the outcome of any exercise. YHC had not led a kettlebell workout in some time, and it may have showed.

The final 3 exercises of round 2 were unable to be done by 0600 due to YHC's lack of planning. Thankfully the PAX were gracious and willing to reduce their final intervals to 30 seconds in order to make it to COT in time for 0600.

I suppose it could alternatively be argued that the weinke was enough to take us just past 0600 and, in that moment, learned the application of modify as necessary.

Either way, thanks Bam Bam for the opportunity to lead.

Gratefully.

1 Jarvis + 1 Bobber = Acceleration

It was a beautiful morning at The Ballroom and the PAX were chomping at the bit to accelerateOr was that Jarvis chomping on a T-Bone?🥩

Quick warmup with the Polish Mating Dance and we were off.

Over to the benches for some dips, step ups and irkins.

Over to the hill for some Chutes and Ladders. 🪜 There were two cones at each station and the PAX had to choose one of them. If they chose a C we had to Chute (run) up to the top of the hill. If it was an L we would run up to the next rung on the ladder. Each rung had two cones and some exercises. Let’s just say there was a lot of Chuting this morning.

Back to COT for prayers and praises.
