Introduction
The theme was “don’t be a bitch” and we tested those limits. This wasn’t your grand daddy’s out and back. We covered all hellish parts of running including ramps, indian runs, sprints, hills, you name it.
Warm-O-Rama

The Thang
- Indian run up and down the parking garage
- Continue Indian run to the turf field, took the long way and believe we registered about 1.25 miles of Indian runs before we reached the turf field
- 4 rounds of this loop – sprint the long vertical part of the field, recovery run the width, sprint the other vertical side, recovery run the width
- Suicides every 5 yards all the way to the other goal line
- Indian run back to the tower
- Out and back to the playground OYO (probably about 1/2 mile)
- Hill runs
Circle of Trust
We need to get comfortable with discomfort. Lately I have been to uncomfortable with boredom and constantly need a podcast or some other stimulation playing, also looking at the phone too much. What are you uncomfortable with? Get comfortable with the discomfort.

Although it looked like some people died out there and their souls rose from their bodies, there we certainly no bitches. This was a gasser and everyone pushed themselves to their limits.
When you are the Q it’s easier because you know what’s coming and you have the adrenaline. I didn’t sleep well because I get anxious leading black diamonds. I need to be on my A game because I have to lead alphas. So I give all the credit to those that didn’t have that advantage and powered through one hellish run after another.
