WARMUP: A lap around the parking lot with SSH, windmills, tappy taps, MNC, and LBAC
THE THANG: Started with 7s in front of the Indian restaurant. We used the dry patch under the trees by the pet groomer with one BBSU and 6 burpees in the cloud of curry and garam masala. Mostly running but bear crawls were mandatory for 1/2 of the way back to the trees.
We then hoofed it to the fountain for 11s. On the bottom we started with 1 CDD. We ran up the hill to the second driveway of the fire station for 10 dips. Everyone finished!
Time was running short so after a walking 10-count or two “All Out” was called to the traffic circle on the other end of the apartment complex. Plank until the 6 and 10-count when everyone was in position. Mosey back to CoT and DONE!
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Things are happening all over the Fort. Do them.
COT: When we got back to the flag the rain was pouring harder than during the workout. Senator Tressel had to skedaddle as is often the case and we bid him adieu. For the rest of us, YHC expounded on the 2nd core principle, that we are open to all men, and ended in a prayer that the men we had there would go out and make the world a better place without agenda.

This is another workout I pulled from the archives (GC, June 30, 2015). Back then we had 11 at the workout and it looks like only about 4 are still active in F3 – too bad. Today’s group included some of the core Golden Corralers who I see week after week so I expect to see them in the next 9 years. We had a dedicated group who worked hard this morning and it’s always a pleasure to lead them. Thanks for the invite Half Shell!

Mosey around HT parking lot. Circle up for
– 20 SSH IC
– 10 Windmills IC
– 10 LSS IC
– 10 MNCs IC
– 10 Hillbilly Walkers IC
– Yoga

THE THANG:
A little Buy in first. 7’s with Burpees and Bomb Jacks. Sjouldve been Box Jumps but YHC forgot the boxes.

Mosey to grace Church parking lot for the real Thang. Board of Pain had 7 exercises. Do all exercises and run a lap. 1st round had 20 reps, then 30 reps, then 40 reps, and finished with 10 reps.
– Merkins
– Squats
– LBCs
– CDDs
– Monkey Humpers
– American Hammers
– Flying Squirrels

Senator Tressel’s alarm went off at 5:49am, he said “good bye” and began to leave. YHC thought this was odd, but knew he had already completed the workout so no harm no foul.

Timing was a bit off, so we did one last round of 10 reps of each exercise, then moseyed back to CoT for some Mary.
MARY: Flutters, Box Cutters and Hello Dolly

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Burpee Fest this Saturday, Bethel Mens Shelter, Jaeger coming up!

communication is key

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Intro, mosey, warmup on the hill next to the church then mosey to church.
THE THANG: Thang 1: Deliberately gave confusing ab instructions with a run but ended with 300 reps for Leg lifts, American Hammers and LBC. Talked about the message of communication being vital. Especially with our kids, M’s, jobs and as leaders.
Thang2: Mosey to Walgreens to the side road between buildings. Picked Pax to give 20 reps of an ab exercise and sprint to the other side. Rinse and repeat 4 times. Again, clear communication needed.
Thang 3: Mosey to HT and to the wall near the Auto shop. Split Pax up on opposite walls and bear crawled towards each other having to communicate so heads did not get hit.
MARY: Mosey to COT, and BW lead is brogo for cool down.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: AMRAMP for Autism, Q School, Ass Kicking April and Rock Hill 10 year.
COT: Prayers for health, communication with kids and patience.
