Introduction

Warm-O-Rama

Motivators

Seal claps

Tappy taps

Mosey around church parking lot

The Thang

Keep it simple stupid.  Nothing fancy here:

20 reps each exercise first round.  Subtract 2 every round

  • Merkins
  • LBCs
  • Squats
  • Plank jacks
  • Supermans
  • Lap around parking lot (roughly 200 yards)

Rinse, repeat until 5:50.

Caterpillar back to the flag

PAX forms a line, lying down in plank position. Allow 2-3 feet between PAX. Last man box-jumps over the planking PAX to the head of the line, Indian Run style. Continue cycling through over a Q-prescribed distance or until toasted.

Mary:

  • Flutter kicks
  • American hammers
  • Plank ring of fire

Circle of Trust

Lots of prayers today.  I’m forgetting some but here are a few:

  • Rousey’s Mom
  • Nala’s step sister who just had a premature baby (25 weeks)
  • Pi – lost 2 friends recently
  • Another pax who had a friend lose his father
  • Rusty had a few more as well

COT:

I love history and on this day in 1915 – An act of the U.S. Congress created the United States Coast Guard as a branch of the United States Armed Forces.

Couple of facts about the Coast Guard:

  • They seize 1000 lbs of cocaine every day (200 metric tons per year)
  • 40k members
  • Academy is located in New London, CT

Slogan is “Semper Paratus” which means Always Ready.  The Coast Guard trains relentlessly in order to be prepared for anything that happens.

Semper Paratus – prepare relentlessly so you are always ready.  No matter what it is, personal/work/whatever, if you have prepared, you will always be ready.

Naked Man Moleskin

AAR – per Rusty – Get my cadence in order!  Glad Appletini wasn’t there to judge me.
