COT: prayers for marriages, those that are traveling, and patience with our kids. Make today intentional with how you want to leave your legacy.
WARMUP:
Hoist three 50# sandbags on your shoulders and mosey to the office.
THE THANG:
On this adventure, we exchanged the sandbags every 75 yards ( est. ) and rotated them from shoulders, to left shoulder, right shoulder, front shoulders, waist carry and bear hug carry.
1st stop: The office – all rotated twice through a 30 dead hang on chinup bar, dip hold, plank hold, and low squat hold with rucks on and/or holding the sandbags on our shoulders.
2nd Stop – we advanced into the middle earth of the mtn bike trail in front of Gold Hill Middle and stopped and dropped the bags at some benches and cycled through rounds of a 1/2 dip hold with right leg hold crunch, then decline 1/2 merkin hold, then 1/2 dip hold with left leg hold crunch and then another decline 1/2 merkin hold.
3rd stop – we practiced teamwork in moving the sandbags across the Gold Hill nile river system and scaled the Denali like and gravel based hill to the electrical substation. We each chose a very attractive tree for 20 low slow squat row tree humpers.
Olaf drew our eyes to his exquisite trail markers along the way salvaged from historical snow plow extractions from the road.

I was late. It’s a long story. Happy to tell you any other time
WARMUP: Olaf took the PAX that were on time to the FW parking lot for some stuff that YHC missed
THE THANG: Hustle down the hill and hit the very dark trails. YHCs light is in the other car so it was fun navigating the gloom. No matter. We got to the hill by the GHMS lot and up we went.
At the top bear crawl both ways across the street and 20 4 count flutters with press.
Down the hill and 20 4 count ruck curls and overhead presses. Repeat up and down with same reps.
Bottom of the hill we head back and stop at each bridge.
1. 10x LSS
2. 15x Overhead press
3. 10x Ruck Curl
4. 10x LSS
Then it was time to airport power-walk back to CoT. With the last 300 meters a ruck run to meet up with the STL crew
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT:
WARMUP: The Q warmed up with a few laps in the LPL parking lot. Olaf warmed up out and about.
THE THANG: The pax were given the route out to the Footloose AO and back. (as the site Q, never miss an opportunity to put the AO on the Pax’s mind). Modifiable from 3+ miles – add or subtract as necessary. 11 men launched and passed in front of my M on her way to work at the red light at the Peach Stand.
11 men arrived back safely!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: read newsletter
COT: Olaf took half the PAZ to uncharted territory at end and so hopefully nobody got lost or bit by coyote 👍🏻👏🏻🐆
WARMUP: mosey around the parking lot loop
THE THANG: we took a few minutes to learn how to transition a sandbag between men since it was frustrating to see so many guys struggle during GTE32.
We then took some cones and threw them out and bearcrawled to pick one cone each and bring it back to a parking spot. There we each did what was on our cone while using the bearcrawls exercise station as the timer. Then we rotated to the next spot and performed that exercise. It was a great time. We did all kinds of ruck swings, ruck rows, big boy burpees, around the dome, squat thrusters, bear crawling finished with a 3 minute sandbag shuffle.
