Introduction
Pre-Blast 7/5 0515 at Two Wolves!
Join YHC as we focus on some muscles by the Ninja course. Perhaps a preview into what round 2 will look like? Who knows! Many of us (myself included) took today off BUT we can make up for tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your day with some family and friends and be ready to get back at it in the morning. It’s a new day! HC below! (bring your coupons!)
Got to the AO around 5:05. It was noticeably damp outside. HUMID! Our FNG was one of the first guys there. I welcomed him and introduced him to One Eye Willy, the siteQ for today.
Five Core Principles, Disclaimer, Credo, and Mission Statement recited. Let’s get warm.

CoT –
We had a friend visit this weekend with her two daughters. This friend is in the process of getting a divorce. She told us that her daughter came home one day and stated she had heard the reason mom and dad are no longer together is because they fought too much. She corrected her daughter and told her ‘No … the reason is because we didn’t fight enough!”
This really stuck with me. I asked her to elaborate a bit. Bottom line was that her husband did not communicate when things were bothering him. He didn’t want to talk about it. He didn’t want to ‘fight’ about it. We as men tend to do this all the time. We bottle things up. We want to avoid the fight so we just ‘live with it’. This is clearly not the best approach because as many of us know, this eventually will blow up and cause an even bigger issue. This seems to be case and point with our friends marriage. So I remind all those reading and those at the Q … express yourself. Keep your communication open with your M. It is ok to ‘have feelings’ about things. Don’t bottle it up and try to hold it in forever, because while it may be a seemingly good short term solution, it will not work in the long run.
Naked Man Moleskin
FNG Formerly known as Joe – now “Choppah” must say his name in his best Arnold voice every time. We better hold him to that! He is former military and used to work on helicopters. Welcome!
The purpose of today’s Q was to expose guys to some of the obstacles and give them some practice running through the course. This was Bronco’s idea and I love it. Some guys may be intimidated by the course and the nature of the CSAUP competition. Don’t be. You can clearly do most, if not all, of the obstacles that we ran through today. Give it a shot for your best time on Thursday 7/7 0500!
Great getting out with the men this morning! Always an honor to lead – BC
