He has cancer and is about to start chemo. He has to take a break from working out while he fights cancer. F3 Lowcountry is doing 25 burpees a day in his honor and while they may suck just remember he wishes he was doing them with you right now.

THE THANG:
The PAX split into pairs, then ran around a series of cones marking the outline of an AMERICAN flag on the Patriot field. PAX performed 10x (IC) exercises at each cone, including: CB Squat Thrusters; CB Atlas Shrugs; CB Swings; Magellans (with CB); BWS; Alternating Shoulder Taps; Mountain Climbers; Merkins; and Carolina Dry Docks. Repeat for 30 minutes.

While performing these exercises, the PAX listened to a fantastic playlist of patriotic songs. They performed a “Happy-Birthday-AMERICA” burpee each time one of the following words was sung: “AMERICA;” “AMERICAN;” “USA;” “GOD;” “COUNTRY;” “FREEDOM;” or “FREE.” Playlist included: “God Bless the USA (I’m proud to be an American);” “R.O.C.K. in the USA;” “Born in the USA;” “America the Beautiful;” “Living in America;” “Made in America;” and “Ain’t that America.”

After returning their CBs, the PAX sang our national anthem. While performing a balls-to-the-wall handstand.

MARY:
17 Flutter Kicks; 76 LBCs

COT:
In preparing for this Q, YHC listened to a lot of music about AMERICA. Much of it focused on familiar themes — family; particular places/towns; and the burdens borne by our military. But another theme emerged — the ideals of fairness, freedom, and openness to which our country aspires. As you enjoy this Fourth of July Weekend with friends and family, consider how you can work to bring these aspirations to reality in our community. Happy Birthday, America.

WARMUP: With a light drizzle starting, the PAX moseyed around the track performing some walking lunges, high knees, and side lunges. PAX ended their warmup with a round of Eskimo Merkins
THE THANG: At Maj Pain’s request, today we set out to answer the question of “how many burpees is too many burpees?” At least that’s how YHC interpreted his quest for burpees. Bottom line, quick answer is 150. As the rain increased, PAX performed 50 Burpees and 50 Sit-ups & jogged 400 meters, 40 Burpees and 40 Sit-ups & jogged 400 meters, 30 Burpees and 30 Sit-ups & jogged 400 meters. YHC’s time management got away and PAX ended the beatdown with 30 Burpees… so 150 to kick start the morning! ANNOUNCEMENTS: get out to old town and support the upcoming launch!
COT: We’ve all heard “as iron sharpens iron, so does one man sharpen another”… take a deeper look at what it’s really saying. Yes, we make ourselves better together… but the process for sharpening one another is hard and can be uncomfortable, just like iron striking iron. It creates friction, sparks fly. Do the uncomfortable thing; EH someone, reach out to a brother and let them know you’re here for them.
