Introduction
When we arrived at the AO the sky was ominous as there was lightning in the distance that threatened the planned beatdowns. It was raining but we watched the radar and proceeded with caution.
Warm-O-Rama
Bunny Hill led a short warm-o-Rama before we all headed to the hill as both of our Qs involved the hill.
The Thang
I went first for the matchup. Cones were placed in the shape of the hill. We started in the center cone at the bottom with 20 Grady corns and 20 Carolina dry docks. then duck walked to the cone on the right where we did 25 Catalina wine mixers. We then bear crawled up hill to center cone, competed 50 mountain climbers and bear crawled to top of hill where we performed 25 Smurf jacks and 25 air squats. We then crawl beared down the hill to middle cone and did 25 derkins. Continued crawl bear down hill to cone on left and did 50 LBCs. Then lunge walked back to center cone. Rinse and repeat until Gopher was up.
Gopher started us on the hill with coupons doing cusack carry to first cone where we did 10 front pulls. Carry down to bottom and then cusack to second cone and perform ten front pulls. We did this pattern through 5 cones and then held plank until 6. Once finished we did farmer carry with coupon on right to first cone where we did 10 lawn mower pulls on right. Carried back down the hill and came back up to second cone farmer carrying with left and did 10 lawnmower pulls on left. Did this pattern until we got to the top through all five cones. It was time to head back to the main lot for Mary after this. Sparkler led us during Mary with captain thors.
Circle of Trust
Gopher left us with an important message to work on dating our families. He spent some one on one time with his 16 year old daughter this past weekend with several activities that brought them closer together. Great reminder and message that our families are so important and we need to put in the time with them.
For my COT, I was in northern Wisconsin this past week with family and my brother in law seemed somewhat depressed. We rucked a couple days and eventually he got a few things off of his chest. Message was to check on people as you don’t know what they may be thinking or are going through unless you ask. Maybe it helped him and maybe it didn’t but he got to talk about it either way. Ended in prayer by Bunny Hill.
Naked Man Moleskin
It was a fun matchup this morning between gopher and myself that surely pushed all the PAX to get better and that’s what it is all about.
