6 MANthers descended upon Cougar Town and “put their names on a beat down” that will certainly reappear at a #convergence in the near future. It went something like this…

After a mosey that toured the AO, we circled up for:

Warm-a-rama

SSH x 25 IC

Sun Gods x 15 IC

Chinooks x 15 IC

Moroccan Night Club x 15 IC

Sun Gods (reverse) x 15IC

Monkey Humpers x 15 IC

Imperial Walkers x 25 IC

200 yard mosey down the hill and we stumbled across 6 perfectly stacked paver stones (#coupons). What luck! Each member of the PAX grabbed a coupon and moseyed up the hill to the Shot Put Circle to deposit the coupon and mosey around the track as follows:

50M – Butt Kickers

50M – High Knees

100M – Mosey

50M – Butt Kickers

50M – High Knees

Once we all arrived, we dove into:

The Thang (part I)

Divide the PAX in half. Start on opposite sides of the gridiron and flapjack after completing each set:

“Countdown Beatdown” (all single count & individual):

100 Squats

90 LBCs

80 – Mtn. Climbers

70 – Lunges

60 – Freddie Mercurys

rinse & repeat

Omaha called for time. Mosey the coupons back to where we found them. #ResponsibleCitizens

Mosey back around the AO to:

The Thang (part II):

Your first battle of the day is against the #fartsack. After that, a #HIM doesn’t have a great day, he MAKES it a great day; he puts his name on it. With that understanding, we put our F3 names on the day by completing a series of exercises that corresponded to each letter of our F3-given name. YHC (Tommy Boy) was not thinking when assigning 10xBurpees to the letter “M”.

While Team 1 was “putting their name on it”, Team 2 played with the #BigAssTire:

3 Tire Flips ea.

10 Box Jumps (on the B.A.T.)

3 Tire Flips ea.

10 Dips (on the B.A.T.)

3 Tire Flips ea.

10 Derkins (on the B.A.T.)

3 Tire Flips

Grab the rope on the B.A.T and, 1 at a time, drag the B.A.T. 20 feet.

Once all PAX were properly smoked, we moseyed back to the Shovel Flag for:

6MOM

(cue The Who’s “Baba O’Riley”, now known as “Teenage Waistline” by the PAX

1 minute – Plank

1 minute – Elbow Plank

30 seconds – right arm up

30 seconds – left arm up

1 minute – Elbow Plank

1 minute – Plank

Finish STRONG with American Hammers x 25 IC

YHC took us out with prayers that this week is not representative of “the new normal” for our country, that we can find a place to come together, to be accountable to each other for our actions and to have a face-to-face conversation to better understand one another. “Love” is a tough word for many of us big boys to say out loud, so let’s get over that and lead with it.

Announcements

Prayers for safe travels:

Norwood’s family is currently visiting his M’s family in France

Thurmanator’s M & 2.0 as they serve on a Mission in Malawi
