Bald is beautiful

WARMUP: Did a little stretching and then a mosey that almost killed me. Yeah I was Qin.
THE THANG: moseyed from COT to the wall down on 160. Did a few things like wall sits as we watched someone do an exercise. Got bored with that so we ran up that freakin hill to the Parkin lot. Did a few rounds of 4 corners. Abs, arms, legs, and shoulders. Time flew by so Fogerty took over. He kept walking around with this cardboard thing folded up. That’s when it all really started. He had five exercises on the list SSH, squats, lunges, merkins, and LBCs. Then we ran down the freakin hill again. We did this until we almost died. Headed back to COT for abs

Did have a little story time about the story of Daniel and king Darius. Spoiler alert the lions didn’t eat Daniel. The satraps weren’t so lucky.

All done.

Bushpit Dual Q (or Q Duel?)

Rock, Scissors, Paper for who took the warmup: Birdcage won

WARMUP:
– Indian run

THE THANG:
OldBay Part 1:
Run to first of 4 cones set up to cover a large area for “Catch me if you can”. Pax partner up, size doesn’t matter. Partner 1 does stationary exercise while partner 2 does moving exercise (working their way around all 4 cones). Once P1 finishes stationary exercise, they run to catch P2 then flapjack. Continue until they’ve made it around all 4 cones.

Exercises:
10 merkins and butt kickers
3 burpees and high knees
10 mountain climbers and karaoke

Birdcage Part 1
All pax grab some curb for merkin and shimmy: one merkin, then use arms and legs to sideways step to the right. Repeat until complaints were high enough.

Shake it out and then flip to other side of curb for dip and shimmy.

Pax then had to get in 5 lines for sprints back and forth in front of the stadium entrance.

OldBay Part 2
Pax line up on curb facing open side of parking lot for broad jumps and merkins. Pax instructed to take 2 broad jumps and then do 2 merkins. Repeat until the other side of the parking lot was reached, keeping count of how many broad jumps it took them.
14 jumps was the fewest, so all pax had to do 14 burpees.

Pax then lined up arms-distance apart, then dropped to a plan for railroad tracks. The pax at the end of the plank line had to make their way to the from the line by jumping over each planked pax. They then planked at the front of the line. Done after 2 complete cycles. We had a few minutes left, so we did 5 6-count burpees to satisfy the brass at the workout.

Birdcage part 2
Worked our way back to the front of the stadium where we did suicides, stopping at every tree for 5 bombjacks…until we run out of time (or tree, in the case of a few pax)

MARY:
Just a few moments for a few exercises. Bandcamp managed to get 2 6-count burpees in, because only dozens before wasn’t enough.

Great work by all. Thanks for the opportunity to co-lead, Birdcage.

Three lessons of leadership shared from Kirby Smart:

You will have to make hard decision that negatively impact people you care about

You will be disliked despite your attempts to do the best for the most

You will be misunderstood and not always have a chance to defend yourself

ANNOUNCEMENTS: read that newsletter – lots of ways to get involved

NMM – Closing thought – Upholding standards requires sometimes being unpopular. As leaders – we must be diligent in our assessment of how we carry and live up to those for our homes, families and communities we serve. Tell someone about what standards you are trying to uphold. Our effectiveness in doing so is only as good as our accountability measures in place.

COT: 5th core principle. #YHTBT

Thanks for the call Rosie. :eye:
