Great fellowship as we hoped to see the SpaceX launch that was scheduled for 0536. Turns out it was delayed (but we didn’t know during the workout). There was lively discussion about which direction we should be looking, with references like Charlotte, Fort Mill, the airport, airplane approaches, and even the moon, all called into question.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead, Bass-o!

NMM:
The Tabata is a challenging workout and keeping track of the exercises and sets as the Q takes some concentration. I lost track of a few counts today, but the Pax kept me honest and put out a great effort. It was a perfect, cool, dry morning, and a pleasure to lead the group as always. Having Toto with us was icing on the cake. Well done, gentlemen!
WARMUP: Probably
THE THANG: We did some ill-advised stuff on a lot of hills.
MARY: No chicks.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter.
COT: The 5th Core Principle.
WARMUP: Moseyed the COT parking lot for approx. 5 minutes picking up late arriving PAX and mixing in BKs, HKs, Karaoke, Mike Tysons, and bear crawling. At 5 min in we stopped and completed 25 SSHinCadence. Warm up complete.
THE THANG: Dora 2.0 – Took the PAX to the hill by the pullup bars and asked them to partner up. Partner #1 runs down the hill to the stop sign, completes 5 Burpees, and then runs back to the top of the hill to meet up with Partner #2 who was performing the selected exercise. Both guys walk over to the pullup bars where Cindys were available. Partner #1 completes 10 pullups and then hangs on the bar until Partner #2 completes 15 KB swings with Cindy. SWITCH! Once the team completes 1 set of pullups and KB swings each they return to the street to continue the Dora.
3 Exercises for the DORA:
100 – Diamond Merkins
150 – Alt. Lunges
200- American Hammers
If my memory serves me correctly we made 9 trips to the bars during the DORA.
MARY: Planking and Praising – Made it back to COT with a few minutes left so asked the PAX to move into a straight arm plank position. Asked the PAX to tell us something they are thankful for while holding the plank position. This took about 1 1/2 minutes. Then asked the PAX to lift their right hand off the ground while holding the plank position. Did this for each arm and leg for 15 seconds each. Then asked PAX to lift right hand and left leg off the ground while holding the plank position. Did this for both sides and held it for 10 seconds. Held normal plank for a little longer to reach 3 minutes. DONE!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Warning -more SawDust foot pics coming soon, Saturday Convergence/Invergence, Daffodil hike
COT: From my experience the men of The Fort are good at praying for others and asking for prayer for others. Very seldom do I hear something vulnerable/transparent about what’s going on internally, personal struggles with the PAX. So, asked each PAX to be vulnerable and share something that they are struggling with currently. Lifted me up to hear men share their hearts/struggles and hear other men immediately offer words of wisdom, encouragement, and comfort. Thanks for sharing fellas!
