olympus Begin 2025 with the end in mind

Date: 2025-01-02
AO: olympus
Q: Obadiah
PAX: Atlas, NOAA, Blue Steel, YNAB, Sunny, Nano, Hightower, Peanuts FNGs: None
COUNT: 9

WARMUP: SSH, squat jumps, star jumps, down dog, WGS, mtn climbers, WMHs, arm circles THE THANG:
On Monday we started a 11s involving merkins on one end, decent flight of stairs at Acropolis, and then Burpees on other.

We didn’t finish on Monday, so picked up at 5/6 and finished the rounds using LBHS home bleachers with 4 up/down trips between the rounds.

MARY: didn’t happen
ANNOUNCEMENTS: wreath pickup, ARC and upcoming 3rd event TBA
COT: while new years is a time of new beginnings, Q thinks we need to begin at the end. If what you do in 2025 isn’t about what you care about at the end of your life, why are you doing it?

Said differently, if it’s important at the end, it’s important now.
