Month: July 2023 (Page 8 of 13)

Had a good Q today with the guys! Everyone pushed and got 1% better.

Warm Up: SSH, Gravel Picker, R/L, L/R, Hurdle stretch with twist. Mosey to blocks, 5 MT and 5 big boys per utility pole.

WOD: Triple nickel: 5 blockies, 5 swings, run to pole and back. 5x

Rifle carry to tennis courts

Partner Chipper: 100 thrusters, 200 squats, 300 Am Ham, 400 flutters. One partner working, other partner runs down and back.

Return blocks

Return to flag for Iron Holt or Hulk,????? Idk, that 1:4 thing.

Ended with COT. Prayer and praise reports. Pray for those spoken and unspoken.

Since 2017 the Fighting Yank has honored the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Marking the 247th anniversary YHC wanted to emphasize the radical notion of free men having Natural Rights which are rights that come from “God and Nature’s God” (the Creator) as opposed to men and government (the creation). That’s a big deal if you look at history and where we are now in the arc of history. So with that in mind we got with things on a hot July 4th morning.

Done, move to the Yank for the reading and message.

After party: We had Dr. Richard Boyce give the message today. Dr. Boyce is one of my faith mentors and was one of Dr. Dan Rhoads stars at Davidson College, a place I really admire. They usually do it right there. Dr. Boyce was the mayor of Belmont for quite some time and has a long history of delivering this type of message.

With that he delivered a message of “Broad Spaces” and free discourse. This came from a perspective of having been a 100 miles from the Czech – Ukraine border a week before, a place where freedom is endangered. Very endangered. We need to appreciate what we have and build on the common ground we can all agree on which is that our freedom is precious, rare, and worth preserving.  Let us be about this work.

The Thang:
Using Oompa Loompa’s path inspiration we worked on a not so world renowned famous modified Classic PT Challenge using the signage as 1/4 mile markers.  As Short Sale correctly pointed out, the starting point could have been at the beginning of the path given we ran a 1/4 mile to get there, just to start.  While on a mosey to the 2nd sign we stopped for some ab focused Dora.  Linus could use some help on counting.  3/4 mile out started mosey back with about 8 minutes to go, back to the start, all safe.
