THE THANG: Pax enjoyed board games and games of chance to exercise their competitive spirits.
Game 1, with a board set up with cones on the goal lines and 25 and 50 yard lines, teams rolled two dice–one to pick the location and the other to pick the multiplier of the exercises. For each cone completed, teams collected disk for one point. Oh yeah, and if two teams landed on the same cone, then the first team to finish got to steal the other’s points.
Cone 1: 5 Burpees X roll, Cone 2: 5 Merkins X roll, Cone 3. Monkey Humpers 5X roll in cadence, Cone 4. Calf Raises 5X roll in cadence, Cone 5. 5 Star Jumps X roll Cone 6. 5 Imperial Squat Walkers X roll
In game two, contestants raced around cones based on the movements described by moving forward the spaces rolled on the die with the movement described on the cone. Collect a point for each cone landed on: Cone 1: Bear Crawl, Cone 2: Crab Walk, Cone 3: Broad Jumps Cone 4: Crawl Bear, Cone 5: Gorilla Walk, and Cone 6: Gorilla Walk
Finally, we turned to games of chance with a modified craps. Contestants took turns with their chance to roll the dice and choose the reward or punishment:
7 & 11 on first roll is 7 or 11 LBCs
2, 3 or 12 loses and Pax do 10 man makers
After that, have to roll the same number again before rolling a 7. 4 Squat Thrusters
5 Tricep Extensions
6 Bent Over Rows
8 Sumo Squats
9 Atlas Shrugs
10 Curls
Exercises accumulate for each roll.

COT: “The test is not a complex one: when the alarm goes off, do you get up out of bed, or do you lie there in comfort and fall back to sleep? If you have the discipline to get out of bed, you win—you pass the test. If you are mentally weak for that moment and you let that weakness keep you in bed, you fail. Though it seems small, that weakness translates to more significant decisions. But if you exercise discipline, that too translates to more substantial elements of your life.” ― Jocko Willink, Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win
Those who got out of bed today and competed had their first step to victory. Now apply that discipline to your spiritual life by doing things like reading your Bible and praying, leading and disciplining your family, and by apply discipline and structure at work.
