4 corners were set up surrounding the school. Travel distance from station 1 to 4 was about a 1/4 mile.
Two rounds were planned. One round involved heavy coupon work while moving with your coupon from one station to the next. The other round involved more running and did not involve coupons.
All teams chose to start with the run heavy round. This included:
Corner 1: 40 gas pumpers, run all the way around school to corner 2
Corner 2: 40 bonnie blair, 30 gas pumpers, run all the way around school to corner 3
Corner 3: 40 grady corns, 30 bonnie blairs, 20 gas pumpers, runa ll the way around school to corner 4
Corner 4: 40 merkins, 30 grady corns, 20 bonnie blairs, 10 gas pumpers, run all the way around school back to corner 1. Complete.
We then moved on to the second round which included:
Corner 1: 40 curls, rifle carry to corner 2

Circle of Trust
I referenced a situation with my wife in which 30 minutes before I was heading out to the gloom today, she broke down crying due to a family dynamic involving her siblings and mother. I chose to simply listen and hug her for which she was very appreciateive. At the COT, I then talked about the importance of listening and not trying to solve people’s problems.
