COUNT: 16
WARMUP: 16, not 15, HIMS showed up. We conducted a traditional warm up.

THE THANG:
Round 1: 2 teams. Bear crawl your coupon up the hill. Once to the top, perform 6 man-makers. Rifle carry to the opposite point, then crawl bear your coupon back. Ashe couldn’t figure this out and just threw his coupon down the hill. This was done for 3 full rounds. When down at the bottom of the hill – PAX performed curls, KB Swings, or OH Press

Round 2: Man-maker block pass race.
PAX lined up in their 2 original teams. Each PAX had a coupon in front of them. PAX completes a man-maker and then passes the coupon to the next person – runs to front of the line. Goal was to get all PAX and all coupons across the finish line

Round 3: Pass the block. PAX circled up.
(1) Sit up with block, pass the block to the left – all around the circle (2) PAX plank and pass the block to the left – all around the circle (3) Sit up with block, pass the block to the right – all around the circle (4) PAX plank and pass the block to the right – all around the circle

MARY: Sit ups with the block

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Dad’s Camp, June 17th Farewell

COT: The Q shared thoughts on D-Day, what it means, what feelings it evokes, why it evokes those feelings, and then encouraged the PAX to work on themselves, work with each other, do better, and be better.
