Introduction
It was clear from the get go that this was going to be a big BC. Grove is a unique AO that I frequent but that would suddenly see it’s attendance grow for RDG. I had planned a 5 station, 4 group pearls on a string style beatdown. The original plan called for the stations to be more spread out and for each group to visit them once. Unfortunately, rain forced me to make some changes to make the stations a bit closer together. most groups got through twice.
To control flow and to add a small surprise, teams rolled dice and retained the number for latter.

I have to be honest, I rarely plan this out fully but this one went to plan. I usually do reps to about 8-10.

Circle of Trust
In every performance, game, workout, event…there is often a moment, something that gets you hooked and gets you to come back. During each workout, event, or whatever; look for that moment. Embrace and remember it.
Naked Man Moleskin
I’ll be honest, the idea of doing the COT for 30 men was a bit intimidating. One of the reasons I Q is the COT but I am also very self conscious about not wanting to be a braggart, sound cheesy or preachy. I want it to be meaningful because I see the opportunity the COT provides
