Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey to Kimbrell’s parking lot. The following exercises in candence with burpees in between.

Windmills
Cherry Pickers
Imperial Walkers
Hillbilly Walkers
Seal Jacks
Side Straddle Hops

THE THANG: Mosey to the site formerly known as Footloose

Lesson 1 – Treat the body rigorously so it does not fail the mind.

Partner DORA – 50 burpees, 100 squats, 150 flutter kicks

Mosey to the top of the hill at the parking lot on Monroe White for lesson 2.

Lesson 2 – You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

7’s in the lot – Burpees on one end, NUR to the other lunges on the opposite end. Note – Tesla is fast.

Mosey to Print Shop parking lot for LBC’s in cadence and rosalitas in cadence.

Mosey to the Millstone downtown. Touch the Millstone and do two burpees.

Mosey to the Parking Lot on Massey for Lesson 3

Lesson 3 – You should not give circumstances the power to rouse anger. For they do not care at all.

19 merkins of different types at each light pole.
This idea looked better on paper than in reality and the 559 bell rang while in the midst of attempting completion of these. PAX headed back to COT to make the 0600 deadline.

MARY: Was left at the Print Shop
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many – read your newsletter
COT: always the 5th core principle

Cubbie – thanks for the call. Always a privilege to lead.

The Griff & The CIA 7

Leave a comment

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.

The NOT SO Sweaty Barry

Leave a comment

If I missed your name, feel free to edit it in….

The weather did not agree with us, but I hope everyone had a nice evening at The Barry (aka The Sweaty Barry). I’m really not sure how a person could not have a good time with Milwaukee’s Beast and PBR being served.

Winner (repeat), Harry Carry … new traveling trophy awarded

Ruck winner (repeat), 3D … we’ll rustle up an award for the ruck winner next year

Thanks to the volunteers.

Thanks to the Rock Hill participants.

Thanks to Twister for gracing us with his presence.

Looks like we made it,

Barry Manilow
