Introduction
Lincoln Games Day 6 (The Final Day) is upon us! Join YHC at Two Wolves tomorrow, 5:15am.
Bring your coupons as I will make sure they get some use! Haven’t finished the plan quite yet but we are going to do something we don’t do very often … focus on a little more stretching before and after the beatdown. Looking to get your 6th post? Looking to get a post in to start your Saturday double tap!? This will be the place to be. SYITG
Pulled in around 5:00. Already a good amount of cars at the AO. I went and set out a few cones for some of the planned stations and started getting myself ready to go. PAX continued rolling in, even through the start of WoR. It was going to be a great morning.

I reminded PAX of the importance of listening to their bodies. Most of us, definitely myself included, ignored any type of signs our bodies were giving us this week. Lets make sure to recover but also stay active. Stay safe as the rest of the day goes on and you try to get those last minute points for your team and yourself. Let’s remember to keep the newer PAX or guys that came out for Lincoln Games engaged. No reason why we can’t keep getting them out throughout the summer!
Last, think about your families and your M’s. Most of them probably missed out on a lot of time with you this week. Don’t take that for granted. Spend the quality time with them tomorrow (Sunday) and give them the recognition they deserve after this crazy/intense week.

What a crazy week and what an awesome turn out for the last day or Lincoln Games. I am constantly humbled by these men. I was just the ‘lucky guy’ who got to grab this Saturday Q spot, but I still felt honored and appreciated the support for such a large group to show up. As the thread started getting crazy pretty early on Friday morning, I knew I had to kind of shift into ‘convergence’ planning mode. Luckily I had some experience with this as I was part of the group that planned the 4 year F3N convergence back in October which actually took place here at Two Wolves anyways!
Thank you to my SiteQ Shirley Temple as well as Calvin Klein and Columbus for agreeing to lead a team through their four different stations. It made the explanation of each station and movement around the AO a LOT smoother.
Congrats to every single PAX that pushed themselves outside of their comfort zone during the Lincoln Games. I ‘look forward’ to next year!
