It was an honor to be able to lead the workout this morning. This was diffident from most workouts because of the number of times we stopped to talk. However I felt it important to share with the guys what is happening around them. We also were able to congratulate Double D in his hand off of Nantan to Esso. Double D, thank you for you service to the pax. You have always been someone who ask the tough questions that challenge us and I thank you for that and what you did for our Region during your reign as Nantan. Esso, I look forward where you are going to take us and your energy to lead. We have a bright future ahead.

Know your place

WARMUP: rucked over to old Kingsley
THE THANG: continued rucking around old Kingsley loop and back to bigger parking lot on far west side. We then did a small set of exercises: 10 squats, 10 curls, 10 overhead presses.

Next up was a goal of a 15 min, 1 mile time hack. Instructions were: single file line, we’d rotate the man in front to the back every .2 miles, we had to stay together within a 1-2 arm reach, only the man in front and back could talk in terms of instructions on spacing, speed, etc.

We did pretty well keeping together until the end when our spacing separated a bit to much so while we did make the time back, we didn’t complete it all together.

Quick AAR (after action report) in the parking lot on what went well / didn’t go well. Comments were: difficult to stay silent when not in the front / back, the need to ask for help when trying to keep up, need for more talking from the back.

Another set of the 3 exercises noted above. Then back to COT going the short way as we were running low on time.
MARY: not today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: check
COT: check

Monday Morning Constitutional

– 10x Hillbilly Walkers
– 10x Large Arm Circles (5/Fwd & 5/Rev)

THE THANG:
– Find a partner – we had 8 PAX, so 4 groups. First group called an exercise. Partner #1 did reps while Partner #2 ran a lap around the parking lot following the curb around where we were gathered. Reps continued until the 6 was in, then switched. After 2nd partners completed their lap, next group called the next exercise.
– Completed 3 rounds. Audible was called between round 1 & 2 to shorten the loop. Due to time, the lap was shortened even more between rounds 2 & 3. Exercises included Man Makers, Swings, Curls, 2-for-1 combos (such as clean & press), OH Presses, Sgl Leg Deadlifts, 6″ Leg-Raised Holds w/Presses, American Hammers, and more.
