Introduction

Our theme for YHC BDVQ was “Overcome the Abominable’.  For the F3 legion heading up to Lake Geneva for the upcoming Abominable Snow Race – we got a taste.  Not the full cake, just a taste.  Hopefully drew others into the fold to register for Jan 30 (looking at you, FakeID). Fun, festive and competitive.

The Thang

Run Hub + Spoke mimicking the Abominable Race – goals is to complete at LEAST 3+ loops; winners should have 4
Break into Teams of 2 – find a partner that will push you – must finish together!
Spoke Loop: ~3/4 mile off pavement up and down the hills at pushed pace, did first loop together to mark it for everyone
Hub Challenge:
Everyone on the team has to complete the Hub obstacles – in any order
    1. Bear crawl to 50 yd line, then duck walk rest of the 50 yds
    2. 10 Pull Ups on EITHER goal posts – neutral grip recommended for traction or use rings – when you fall, get back up
    3. 10 sledgehammers EACH side down and back – HARD/DRIVE THRU it – aim to move the tire
      1. Burpees while you wait, line forms by the cone
Finisher:
2 coupon carry partner race around LSHS entire building – one partner carries BOTH coupons, other jogs next to them, then switches as exhaustion sets in

Circle of Trust

Goals is a hot topic now.  Reflecting on goal setting for new year, LOTS of worthy goals I hear about from this community…sobriety, vegan diets, endurance, to service and being a better family man. But the goal itself is just a waypoint on the journey….the real magic is in sustainable habits that become part of your life…not just 75 days or even a year.  So – for your consideration, encourage everyone to ‘Trust the Process’ and recognize the daily steps, small steps each of which are making you better.  Focus on the next small step and how this becomes habit – and not just a Cool thing you accomplished during that winter of COVID.
For YHC personally: Cut out multitasking  – I do it all the time, no phones now in kitchen, etc….so I appreciate moments like this of total focus.
A moment to pray for PAX and their families who are going through challenging times.

Naked Man Moleskin

Great job by all 6 partnerships!  This Elite team can surely handle the Abominable Race.  Blues Clues is a beast…he punched ahead and finished the Hub and Spoke impressively alongside celebrity Team FakeBaby (BabyHands + FakeID) in setting the pace.  On the Finisher, House Arrest & Mr Burns turned up the juice to take the championship.  House Arrest was NOT going to be denied.  He’s now in Disney World.
