COT:
Keep Going by Edgar Guest
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must—but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up, though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.

Soggy morning. But the Q decided to try to keep us dry until Mary. Then to use the PAX to absorb as much water out of the turf as possible. Pretty effective it turns out.

WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walkers, hillbillies, cherry pickers, copperhead squats, Michael Phelps, with a few burpees mixed in for good measure

The PAX split into four groups and moseyed to the 30th St hill. Group 1 (timer): Bernie Sanders to top of hill and jog back. Groups 2, 3, and 4: Merkins, BWS, and big boy sit ups, respectively. Rotate until all have completed the exercises.
Mosey to the Arena.

Group 2 (timer): 3 trips up the stairs, hopping up 1, 2, and 3 steps at a time for the three trips. Groups 3, 4, and 1: dips, toe taps, and balls to the wall, respectively. Rotate until all exercises complete.
Mosey to the bball court.

Group 3 (timer): bear crawl length of court and crawl bear back Groups 4, 1, and 2, respectively: lunges, SSH, and wall sit
Rotate until all exercises complete
Mosey to the field

COT: “As the man once said, the harder you work, the luckier you get.” — Ted Lasso

Luck matters. Where you were born, your gender, race, the wealth of your family, or just being at the right place at the right time all impact outcomes. But so does your effort, and that’s what you can control. Make yourself better, physically, intellectually, emotionally, and luck will find you more often than not.

THE THANG: The pax picked up 7 coupons and proceeded to retrieve two recently felled logs from the nearby woods. After (some difficulty in) breaking into groups of 4, two Pax carried a log up and down the nearby hill, switching with their partners upon returning. Meanwhile, the non-carrying pax performed Freddy Mercuries, Mercans and mule kicks. Groups with an odd number carried a standard coupon instead of a log. We completed 2 cycles. The pax returned to the field returning the coupons and stashing the logs for future use. MARY: LBCs, Flutter kicks
ANNOUNCEMENTS: None
COT: Don’t be afraid to try something new, like incorporate some logs into your workout.
