Introduction
Day 1 of the The 2021 Lincoln Games! No Coupons, no isolation or too much of a SmokeFest of a body part to
try and keep the guys fresh. Full body Pearls on a String on tap.
Warm-O-Rama
FNG Day! Gotta make sure the Q is on point. Welcome and Disclaimer shared properly, along with F3’s 5 Core Principles. Quick Count-O-Rama at 25 and we took off in the direction of the high school. Circled up in the freshman building lot: Bat Wings IC (Arm Circles Fwd x 15, Arm Circles Reverse x 15, Seal Claps x 15, Overhead Claps x 15), Tappy Taps IC x 15, Mountain Climbres IC x 15, Motivators from 5.
The Thang
Stopped at a few curbs between WOR and the tennis courts for some BOMBS (5 Burpees, 10 Overhead Claps, 15 Minnesota Mike Tyson’s, 20 Big Boy Sit-ups, and 25 Smurf Jax). Circled up in the lot outside the Tennis Courts – explained that the next Thang was on the courts. Pax would bear crawl across the first tennis court and high skip across the 2nd and continue alternating around all 12 half courts. To break up the starting on the courts, all PAX must first complete 15 Burpees OYO. That seemed to spread it out reasonably. YHC led LBC’s in cadence as all PAX finished their tennis court work. We rinsed/repeated and went with Beast Toe Touches for the 6.
Moved back towards the Flags. Stopped at the narrow road between the parking lots and the high school soccer fields. One more round of BOMBS just for kicks and then into some 11’s – Hand Release Merkins and 4-ct Mountain Climbers with short mosey’s in between. Remembered the FNG so wanted to get in some Mary. Back to the Flags for Vertical Toe Touches IC x 15, American Hammers IC x 15, Vertical Toe Touches IC x 10, American Hammers IC x 10, Vertical Toe Touches IC x 5, American Hammers IC x 5.
0559 and 21 seconds. Gave the PAX 39 seconds of Have a Nice Day or StarGazers in honor of all the work they’ll be putting in this week for Lincoln Games.
Circle of Trust
Read the quote:” When you feel like wasting time or acting on negative impulses, you must remember that the pain of discipline is much less than the pain of regret, these decisions cannot be undone and the time can not be taken back.”
There was a 48 hour GoRuck event (Team Assessment) late last week and I followed along here and there with their live streams. For some reason I can’t turn away from watching these events of pure pain and suffering and misery that the competitors sign up for. Each time I watch I put myself in their shoes so who knows maybe one day we take this challenge head on. Anyway, when the participants tap out they almost always quickly make the determination that they could have kept going physically. They were at the breaking point but once the pressure is off and their mind has given in to the Quit, they realize their bodies had more than they ever thought. What a regret! Goes to show how much of a challenge, and obstacle, our mental game can be to us. Whether it’s at an endurance event or trying to eat healthy during the week and not grabbing that handful of pizza flavor-blasted goldfish leftover from your 2.0’s snack when you’re trying to eat clean – these acts of mental discipline pop up anywhere and everywhere. Stay strong in your dedication to the journey you are on!
