WARMUP: SSH, Hillbillies, imperial walkers, merkins, WMH, cherry pickers, merkins, downward dog, merkins
THE THANG:
PART 1: Bobby Ricky (There may be a real name for this, but YHC couldn’t find it in the Exicon. Nor did he look very hard.)
PAX run single file with the leader holding a 20lb slamball. After 1 minute, leader hands to the PAX behind him, and peels off to be the 6. Repeat until everyone spends a minute on point.
Originally intended to just be around the track, this part was useful for getting to the other side of the stadium when YHC found that the locks had been changed at the AO.
PART 2: Dogeball
In partners (with a group of 3), lineup on the goal line, with each group having their own Dogeball (dodgeball). Each group does 100 yards of an exercise together, then hold Al Gore at the other goal line until everyone finishes. Along the way, the group can attempt to shorten their distance by having one partner throw their Dogeball to the other partner. If he catches, the group jogs to that point and resumes the exercise from there.
But, just like its namesake, Dogecoin, there are no guarantees in Dogeball. If the PAX dropped the Dogeball, the group got a 5 burpee penalty, AND had to return to the spot of the throw to complete their exercise.
The PAX jogged the return trip as a group, passing all of the Dogeballs between everyone. There was no winning here – only a 2 burpee penalty for everyone if any ball hit the ground. Or 4 burpees thanks to Trolley managing to knock another Dogeball out of the air with his Dogeball. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
The exercises we got through were:
* Lt Dan
* Inchworm (alternate partners working, so ~50 yards each)
* Bunny hop
* Bear Crawl (with bonus 3rd throw carrying 10 burpee penalty)
* Lunge walk (with bonus 3rd throw carrying 10 burpee penalty)

COT: This quote from actor Mads Mikkelsen reminds us that being too focused on the end result of our careers will most likely lead to disappointment. That doesn’t mean to wander aimlessly – act purposefully, but make what you are doing "now" the most important thing.
“My approach to what I do in my job — and it might even be the approach to my life — is that everything I do is the most important thing I do. Whether it’s a play or the next film. It is the most important thing. I know it’s not going to be the most important thing, and it might not be close to being the best, but I have to make it the most important thing. That means I will be ambitious with my job and not with my career. That’s a very big difference, because if I’m ambitious with my career, everything I do now is just stepping-stones leading to something — a goal I might never reach, and so everything will be disappointing. But if I make everything important, then eventually it will become a career. Big or small, we don’t know. But at least everything was important.”
