12 HIM posted this am at the Goat for Tres Dora en la Cabra or Three Dora at the Goat.

Warm Up:

SSH / Imp Walker / Gravel Picker x 15 IC

Stretch Left over Right / Right over Left / Stretch to your toes.

DORA Uno – Mosey to community center and partner up.  Even with a count the Q was challenged by the one that got away.  Start with 12, one is rucking.  Count 11 but really there is 10.  Finkle joined Bubba for a dog walk and YHC was off to a bad start because we did have even teams.

100 Merkin / 200 Squats / 300 LBCs  Partner runs across the parking lot and back

DORA dos – Mosey to playground on island.  High knees across the bridge then partner up.

100 Derkin / 200 Dips / 300 American Hammers  Partner runs around paved track.

DORA tres – mosey back across bridge with butt kickers and partner up in the upper parking lot. Due to time we had to modify.  With 10 pax we split DORA tres evenly. 10 Jump Squats / Run across the lot and back / 20 Imperial Walkers / Run / 300 SSH and run across the parking lot and back to the flag for a speed round of PAX Mary.

Thanks for playing along.

BOS

This is what happens when my 2.0 Musicbox, aka Mac and I hit the road together and share plenty of windshield time.  We think of fun ways to punish our F3 pax.  Today, eleven HIM posted at The Yank for a 5K they never planned to run.  It went something like this.

Warm Up – SSH / Imp. Walker / Gravel Pickers x 15 IC.

Enough of that, time to break up into teams of three leaving out two of us who planned to walk instead of run.

Green Team = Buckshot, Pizza Man and Orangeman.

Black Team = Sargento, Tesla and Gavel

Red Team = Anchorman, CPAP and EhYall

Team Walk/ Referee = Norwood and BOS

Each team is handed a list of five points of interest around town, each stop includes 25 reps for each pax and instruction to pick something up and return with it in one piece before time expires at 0750.

First Baptist Church = 25 Dips.  Team colored raw eggs hidden on front steps.

First Presbyterian Church = 25 LBCs.  Eggs hidden in driveway island.

Park Street United Methodist Church = 25 Merkins. Eggs hidden in near benches and trees near entrance.

Lutheran Church of the Holy Comforter = 25 Burpees.  Eggs hidden behind sign.

The Point at Central & Main = 25 Monkey Humpers Eggs hidden near benches in flowerbed.

Q Note:  Since most of the stops were churches, “the point” caused a little confusion even though the streets listed were in the instructions.  In fairness there is a POINT church on Wilkinson.  I’ll accept the Q fail…

With eggs in hand the teams raced to the finish while Norwood and YHC walked part of the course.

Penalties were waiting at the finish for broken, missing and late eggs.  Here is how it ended.

Green Team 1st at 0733

Black Team 2nd at 0740

Red Team 3rd at 0742

Since we had time we completed the penalties.  25 American Hammers for a missing egg.  25 Flutters for a broken egg and 25 Merkins for a late egg.

With a few minutes left we completed a quick round of Jack Webb before heading back to the statue.

Disclaimer:
Tube let me know he had his eye on me today, curious why I was moseying into these parts of town.   Spiderman assured him he had given me his blessing and Tube slowly calmed down.  But, he kept watching close.   Somehow, I had to figure out a way to mix no bootcamp today or I’m in big trouble.

Rinse and repeat most of it.

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.
