Introduction
Wet morning after a ton of rain the night before. Super super humid today as well which made the Beatdown extra difficult
Warm-O-Rama
Active dynamic warm up was performed while I stated core principles, disclaimer, and mission statement
The Thang
We grabbed it sandbags and headed out with a goal of 2.5-3 miles with a few stops. We did squats, pull throughs, merkins, and a ton of running. When we got back near the AO I had cones set up approximately 20 yards apart. I named this last thang death by shoulders – with sandbag perform 25 OHP at cone one and then rifle carry to cone 2 where we performed 20 OHP. Continue that pattern all the way to zero where pax did max reps prior to getting back to the flags. We ended with two sprints on the times path and 3 minutes of a plank hold.
Circle of Trust
COT focused on happiness. In the book comfort crisis he talks about meeting with a guy from a foreign country about why Americans are generally not as happy as other places with far less fortune than we have. He basically relates it to us having a non stop checklist of things that we need to do or things that we have (materialistic things). The checklist just multiplies and we are always adding more to it and wanting more things instead of being happy with what we have. Interesting perspective and great reminder to slow down and be appreciative of what we have and not always look to get the next thing.

Ended in prayer. That was hard and super dodo with the humidity. Kudos to everyone for pushing themselves to get it done
