Since we were in downtown Fort Mill, we did a quick history lesson on why the town has its name. (We are located half way between a British fort built to protect the Catawba Indians and Webb’s Mill). In honor of the town’s founding in 1873, we did 18 Merkins then ran down to the bottom of Main Street for 73 SSH.

We had about 5 minutes left at that point, so we did a mozy back to COT.

The Griff & The CIA 7

Well, the Site Q was under the weather so we :hand_with_index_and_middle_fingers_crossed: that someone would show up who had a key to the NaFo track. Thankfully, since it’s the first day of school, the football coaches had it open as the team had a morning practice. We debated for a few minutes whether we would risk going in or not, but after he drove away and left it open, we decided to risk it, especially since we had some nur-ing to do.
WARMUP: Windmills, Cherry Pickers, SSH, mosey to the track
THE THANG: The Griff:
Run 800 meters
Run 400 meters backwards
Run 800 meters
Run 400 meters backwards

In honor of U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Travis L. Griffin, 28, who was killed on April 3, 2008, in the Rasheed District of Baghdad, by an improvised explosive device strike to his vehicle.
Griffin is survived by his son, Elijah.

After that, we headed over to the bars and blocks for:

The Seven
7 rounds for time of:
7 handstand push-ups
7 thrusters
7 knees-to-elbows
7 deadlifts
7 burpees
7 kettlebell swings
7 pull-ups

A suicide bomber http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/05/world/asia/05cia.htmland one Jordanian officer at a remote base in southeastern Afghanistan on Dec. 30, 2009, after posing as a potential informant reporting on Al Qaeda. Seven new stars will be etched into the memorial wall at the CIA, forever in their names. Killed in the attack were CIA officers Jennifer Lynne Matthews, 45; Scott Michael Roberson, 39; Harold E. Brown Jr., 37; Darren LaBonte, 35; Elizabeth Hanson, 30; and security contractors Jeremy Jason Wise, 35, and Dane Clark Paresi, 46.

I thought that this was either going to go super fast or take us the rest of the time. It took us the rest of the time. It’s surprisingly a smoke-fest for your shoulders and arms. We walked to get our heart rates down back to COT.

MARY: LBC’s, Flutters, LBC’s again, Hello Dolly’s.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel, New Gloom Scheduler, read your newsletter.
COT: Prayers for the first day of school for kids. Watch out for all of the kiddos on your drive to work. Prayers for marriages and kids traveling.
