WARMUP:
THE THANG:
Ruck Shuffled 1 min on and 1 minute off the full workout.
We made our way to Mr. Putty’s for a windmill and stretched. From there, we shuffled to the back road to GHMS, and at each light pole, we did 3 merkins and 3 squats in a back-and-forth sequence of out 2 poles and back 1 pole, working our way down to the bottom of the hill. Ruck on the whole time.
At the bottom of the hill, each pax selected a large rock, we did one overhead press and pass the rock to the right for a full minute, then rinsed and repeated to the left for a full minute.
We then shuffled to the benches at the school and did 3 sets of ARAP dips for 30 each, with ruck on.
We then shuffled to the light poles in front of the school and did 5 flutter press and 5 OHP while suitcase carrying the ruck from pole to pole. The sequence was out two poles and back one pole until we made our way to the end of all the light poles.
We then shuffled to the bottom of the hill at the school entrance. Did 10 slick burpees and ruck shuffles back to COT.
MARY: No time

The quickest way to lose credibility as a leader is to pass the blame to someone else. We are better than that. Great leaders pass the praise and take the blame. It builds trust, earns respect, and shows true character. Ego divides. Ownership unites.

Aye!

When in doubt, blame Schwartz…

Leave a comment

With no announcement as to the Q for the day as of the afternoon of the night before, which is unusual for <@U02679GQ1AT>, but becoming very usual for The Fort overall, I mentioned casually that I would just take it. So, Barkley dared me to. No, I don’t know exactly why, but here we are. It made me think of this as a Reverse Flick. In what may be the most famous scene from the movie A Christmas Story, Schwartz dares Flick to stick his tongue to the frozen flagpole on the playground. He throws all convention out the door and skips the Triple Dare and does right for the Triple Dog Dare. Which, as we all know, must be completed for fear of ever tarnishing a man’s reputation. In the case of the Colosseum, well, the roles were reversed and the metaphorical Flick (Barkley) dared Schwartz. Look, no one reads these except <@UGU3XR5RP> anyway, and it’s a weird place up in my head… so I’m just documenting all this for evidence when my wife finally has me committed. She’ll need a preponderance of evidence that I am, in fact, not quite right. This will help.

I decided to “play all the hits” of the Colosseum for our workout, explained in slightly more detail below. But again, as we all know that these are written primarily for the stats, I won’t bother with large amounts of detail.

WARMUP:
I’m sure I did some really slow windmills and stuff

THE THANG:
– Light poles to the end (before the right turn to go up the hill)
– Stop at each pole for 5 merkins
– Head up the hill
– Stop at intersections for 15 (double count) flutters
– Down hill
– Stop at intersections again for 15 LBCs
– Run to back to the wall
– Far side of lot – bear crawl to the wall, over the wall 5 burpees, over the wall, crawl bear back
– Bottom of the hill, grab a rock
– Overhead presses and curls
– Up the hill
– Stopping at light posts for 10 jump squats
– Down hill
– Stopping at light posts for 5 lunges each leg
– Grab a rock
– Chest presses, and something else I can’t remember

MARY:
No chicks.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Read your newsletter.

COT:
The 5th Core Principle.
