Introduction
Hot and Humid 75 at 5 AM at Black Rock. Dragon clan week year 3. Lots of coupons and buckets of bricks were brought. Pax helped unload prior to EC Running that was got at 4:30AM.
Warm-O-Rama
WOR was not in the plan for this epic adventure. Come warm come ready.
The Thang
Start off by getting a head count. Break into 2 Indian run crews. Fast crew and less fast crew. Pax ran the 2 mile route around the path. Chum made certain nobody was lost. Group 1 ran ahead at a 7 min pace and stopped at the 1.65 mile marker just around the lake and held plank for 2 min until the other group came around the corner.
Once both crews arrived at the AO we met up with Doozie and 2 other pax that came for the regular scheduled bootcamp at Black Rock. We combined workouts at 5:18 and Foreclosure finished WOR with Abe vigotas, learn to flys and Thai fighters.
then we broke into a 2 person Dora. 1 pax did thrusters while the other pax went down and back farmer carry in the grass. Gnats were had for breakfast.
After 12 min we lined up to parter run to the bridge. About 0.35 miles. Millville took over for this part and beyond.
once to the bridge we did a millennium dragon bear crawl of the bridge. I believe duck hunt got the trophy here. Millville led us in American hammers and Freddie mercury’s for 3 rounds before running as a group back to the flags.
we circled up and did one arm shrugs and tempo rows for a few rounds. We held squat after that until 6:00.
Circle of Trust
“Life is suffering — that’s the baseline. The question is: what are you going to do about it?”
Today’s beatdown wasn’t about fitness — it was a metaphor.
You ran, you carried, you crawled. And maybe you noticed: it wasn’t comfort that gave you strength — it was discipline. Discipline is doing what’s necessary, not what’s easy. It’s choosing structure over chaos, choosing to carry the weight — sometimes literally — because that’s where purpose lives.
The truth is, when things fall apart, it’s discipline that keeps you moving. It’s the decision to keep going — whether you’re in the front, falling behind, or dragging yourself on all fours — that shapes the man you become.
So ask yourself: Are you carrying your load? And are you doing it voluntarily?
Because when you take on responsibility willingly, you transform suffering into meaning — and that’s the path forward.
Stay disciplined. Stay on mission. That’s how you build the kind of man others can count on.
Naked Man Moleskin
While on the bridge a biker was rolling through. We all got up from abs work and had a tunnel that he rode through as we all cheered for him and he high fived us all as he flew by. We were loud and excited for the guy and it felt like the finish line of a tough race that he just conquered. Was a really cool moment. Hope that made his day.
