Pre-Convergence Convergence

There were Ruckers and runners.

Barry Manilow led the runners for 5+ miles around The Fort.

The bootcampers were led first by Maximus with a SSH x Merkin combo x2 to warm up.
After a quick warm up, the weinke was
10 merkins, 10 mountain climbers (double count) at each of the 9 swings around the park. When done and waiting on the 6 to fill in, hold an Al Gore. To wrap up, starting at the bottom of the grassy hill from the parking lot, flutter kicks, then burpees at the top of the hill.

Cake Boss took second shift with playtime at the playground.
Partnering up, one partner does squats, while the other runs around the playground. Then flapjack. Next was pull ups/merkins following the same format. To wrap up, keeping the same partner, one bear crawled across the field and run back, while the other did flutters. Flap jack until 3 rounds were done.

Fogerty took us home with some 11’s and hill repeats.
At the bottom of the hill with the statue, started with 10 merkins and bombjacks. Half way up the hill, 5 burpees, then 1 squat and big boy sit-up. No burpee on the way back down the hill. Repeat until 11’s are done cutting out the burpees when you hit 5 & 6.

This was a fun 60 min bootcamp.

Why did the Frog cross 160?

WARMUP: Ruck up!
THE THANG:
We left Kinsgley, heading south across 160, in the darkness of the gloom. Our goal was to check on those PAX loafing at The Coach’s Box. Very little traffic this early in the morning, so no troubles crossing. Lots of chatter about the recent Aaron Rodgers injury… could we match his snap count in miles this morning?
We had a great pace down Munn Rd, crossing to get onto FMHS property. Stopped in the student lot to do some exercises IC: Squats, Merkins, Shoulder Press. Ruck Up and continue.
Witnessed some loafing at the Coach’s Box. I guess that’s what happens when Cyclops is DR.

Stopped at the Gym for a few more exercises OYO: Step Ups and Dips on the benches. Ruck Up!
Good pace back across the parking lots and up the most underrated hill in The Fort by the football stadium.
Sugarbug and Shady began reminiscing of Michigan, it was too dark to tell if any tears were shed. Perhaps YHC will visit one day.
Stopped in the bank parking lot for a few more exercises IC: Squats, Up Right Rows and Shoulder press.
Safely made it back across 160. Made a small lap around the front of Kingsley and back to CoT. All PAX made it 3miles.

YHC was not paying attention to the time and was called out on it so I Omaha what we were doing and headed to COT.

COT & ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Notably we held CSPAN style discussion around the circle on what are we struggling with. It’s important to note that as we went around with each Pax’s voicing their struggles we all related to every one of those aspects. Guys we are not alone and it’s much easier to go this journey through life is undoubtedly more manageable when we stand together rather than facing it in isolation.” I implore you to be more vulnerable in COT. Prayers and Praises.
