THE THANG: The PAX broke into 4 groups. At each stop, each group did an exercise. One was a timer, and we rotated until all groups did all of the four exercises.

We moseyed to the Hill for Stop 1, doing a few burpees along the way. Exercises were: merkins, BWS, big boy sit ups, timer was bernie to the top of the hill and run back down.

Stop 2 at the Arena. Exercises were balls to the wall, step ups, and dips. Timer was broad jump and run a half lap around the arena x2.

Stop 3 at the b’ball court. Exercises were WWIs, crab-taps, penguin crunches, timer was bear crawl the length of the court x2.

Stop 4 at the field. Exercises were shoulder taps, monkey humpers, mountain climbers, and the timer was duck walk to the 30 and mosey back.

COT: A repeat. The Q repeated a quote from a book about meditation that he’s never read. Not being lost is about more than getting back to where you started. It’s about not being lost wherever you are. It’s about being in the woods and telling yourself, I’m not lost, I’m right here. For the Q, this didn’t ring true for just anyone. If you aren’t prepared, you’ll get lost and you’ll feel lost. You have to train physically and mentally. This is why we do hard things. We post in the gloom and we do CSAUPs. It keeps you physically strong, and mentally and emotionally strong, and it builds your social net to lean on when you need help. In other words, it prepares you for adversity. So when you’re lost in the woods, you can say, “I’m not lost. I’m right here.”
