Clemson in the parking lot?
WARMUP: Bandcamp took the warmup as YHC wrote in chalk in parking spaces. Shieldlocks do this for each other.
THE THANG: 5 min buy in. Carry a weight (ruck, kb, ruck plate) from the parking lot and up the hill over your head. Get to the top, 10 burpees, back down the hill with your toy over your head.
One we returned to parking lot, parking spaces were marked with 2 exercises and had weight in each space at varying sizes. Instructions were, do one exercise in the space and run to the top of the hill where you’d do another exercise written down starting at the top. Finish that 1 exercise and go back to the bottom spaces and grab a new space and perform exercise, then back up the hill for the 2nd exercise on the paper…and down and up, down and up.

There’s an old Italian saying, “after the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.” When our days are done, it doesn’t matter how much money we made or how fine our possessions were. We should use our time to get right, live right, and lead right so we can leave right. Stay humble, be kind, and love always. That’s the legacy that lasts beyond when we close the box on the game.
Aye!
