The Jacobsen

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Not really

THE THANG: The Jacobsen – For William W. Jacobsen Jr., 31. Captain William Jacobsen, 31, commanded A Company 1-24 Infantry in the 25th Infantry Division (Stryker Brigade). He was the highest-ranking officer killed on December 21, 2004 when a suicide bomber attacked a mess hall, killing him and 21 others in Mosul, Iraq.

CPT Jacobsen attended Brigham Young University where he graduated in 1998 with a degree in Business. He was also enrolled in the R.O.T.C. program.

Prior to his deployment he taught a children’s Sunday School class. Before he left he expressed his commitment to providing the Iraqi people with the opportunity to live in a democratic and free country.
CPT Jacobsen lived life to the fullest. For instance, he ran two marathons, went rappelling, and took surfing lessons in Hawaii. He was an Eagle Scout and served a two-year mission for the Church to Dallas, Texas.
Jacobsen was an example to his soldiers and leaders alike. “His battalion commander said that if he knew all Mormons fought like Bill, he would convert the whole battalion.”

He was survived by his father, Bill; his mother, Vicki, his wife, Riikka, and his four children – sons Billy III, Sedric, Yonah and daughter, Avalon. The day Bill was killed was his 9th wedding anniversary.

10 deadlifts
10 hang cleans
10 squats
10 OH press

10 sandbag burpee complexes

P1 double ruck carry
P2 Superman hold

P2 100yd run

Moleskin: YHC busts another filler bag, easily shedding 10 points of sand in the final 15 minutes of the workout. Maximus represented the “still wearing shorts in February” club before flying off to warmer weather today. PETA was recovering from the death flu and still put in the work. Sprocket was alone in his thoughts on the field but is always chatty when humping weight. And, last but not least, Spider-Man served up a web of mumble chatter and groaning when it came to sandbag complexes and bear crawl drags – I kinda like it.
Always a pleasure – Solo

Welcome to my TED Talk

Disclaimer disclaimed
Valentine’s Day Eve – Accelerating the M requires both Skill and Love. Just like our fitness, relationships are either Accelerating or Decelerating, Aye?
If you think you are “Maintaining” your relationship, you are actually Decelerating.

Mosey to WEP Stage
The Culture is a Jester
• Our culture likes to present marriage as easy, but a HIM knows virtue takes work, and thus marriage will take work.
Warm Up
20 SSH IC
10 Windmills IC
10 LSS IC
Al Gore w/ 10 MNC IC
11 Hill Billy Walkers IC
Yoga?

There is NO 50 Yard Line
• Halfway is not good enough when it comes to the M. An Accelerating HIM will go the length of the field for his M.

The Thang – Pearls on a String became chase Maximus (and Clickbait and Poppins, with Band Camp on form patrol) around the WEP loop, at each swing, do the following:
10 Merkins
10 Squats
10 Flying Squirrels

Your Wife is NOT Your Best Friend
• She is made for a much higher purpose, put her on the pedestal alone.

Mosey to Pike Entrance
7s of Derkins and Bomb Jax
7s of Step Ups and Dips
Mosey to Pike Wall
Wall Sits and Burpee Waterfall

Joy Trumps Happiness
• Happiness is a transitory positive feeling
• Joy is a permanent state of hopeful satisfaction
• A healthy and vital M is a lifetime pursuit

Mary – Flutters until 0600

Marriage requires Proximity and Purpose. It transforms a man from a selfish Happiness-junkie into a selfless Joy-seeker. The HIM knows if he fails at his M, nothing else he does will matter.

Announcements: Q-Source after this. D2D celebration on 3/2
COT: stays in COT
