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!

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.
