Honoring the 4,414

WARMUP: none
THE THANG:
Tomorrow is the 81st anniversary of D-Day. 81 years ago isn’t that long ago. Tens of thousands of troops from 15 Allied nations had the unified goal to stop a madman from taking over the world. Many knew they were not coming back, yet they had no reservations about stepping up to perform the daunting tasks ahead of them. 4,414 Allied troops were killed in action, approx 2,500 of them from the USA alone. About 2/3 of them were KIA at the 5 assault points, beaches at Normandy- Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. The remainder were KIA as paratroopers behind enemy lines. Today we honored them.

A 1,944 meter loop (1.2 miles for us Americans), with 5 pain stations for each of the landing zones.
Utah – 5 burpees
Omaha- 10 merkins
Gold – 15 big boy sit-ups
Juno – 20 CDDs
Sprint up the hill, then
Sword – 25 LSS
Repeat 3x

MARY: a little, about a minute worth
ANNOUNCEMENTS: read your newsletter
COT: this is the place to open up and share. I have trouble with this, but getting better at it. We spent a good 5-10 minutes sharing. Don’t take the COTs for granted. It may be the only place you can share your burdens with guys who literally have your back and support you. Most of the time after workouts we rush the COTs, eager to get home and get on with our days. Do not be afraid to be the one to tap the brakes, slow things down, and open up….or allow others to do so as well. We had some great conversations this morning. Warning Track put it well….vulnerability is not weakness, rather a sign of strength and leadership. I needed that COT today. Thanks fellas. Love you guys.

2025 PGA Championship – Quail Hollow

WARMUP: Pledge of Allegiance
THE THANG:
Inspired by the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow this will be a loop with 18 stops. The distance between the stops are based on the length of the holes (slightly modified down to get us 3 miles instead of the actual length of 4.3). The stops were marked with cones.
•Red = Par 4 = 4 Burpees
•Yellow = Par 3 = 20 Big Boys
•Green = Par 5 = 20 American Hammers
•Green Mile = Written on cardboard signs

We stuck together for the first 8 holes (1.25 miles) and then I turned the fast guys loose to run the remainder of the course (1.75 miles).

I didn’t hear it all, but I did hear some great mumble chatter:
– “Where’s the cart girl?” – Cyclopes
– “What’s the distance from the senior tees?” – Barry Manilow
– “There’s no such thing as a par 6, right?” – Dark Helmet

Thank you Nasa for the call.

COT:
Thank you Slapshot for your dedication and efforts as the 1st F Q!

Congratulations Bonsai and Time Machine on taking on the 1st F Q roles and to Cyclopes on assuming the LDP role. Really looking forward to seeing what you bring!
