Thang 1: Bataan Death March
Kicked off a Bataan Death March with a 5 burpee buy-in to start. Pax start their mosey from the Mill Creek bridge behind the HS football field, the last man completes 5 burpees before sprinting to the front of the line. Rinse. Repeat. Threw in a few speed bumps along the way: bump #1 – 10 merkins, bump #2 – 10 Iron Mikes (each side is a half). We death marched all the way to the middle school soccer fields.
Thang 2: Doracides
Dora + Suicides = Doracides. Yes, it’s as terrible as it sounds. A slightly modified version though, partners shared the following: 100 merkins, 200 LBCs, 300 squats. Mode of transportation was suicides, with a burpee at each cone x3. Immediately following the Doracides, we got in one more Bataan Death March lap around the entire soccer field. Ensuring everyone got their fair share of the suck.
Plank and wait for the six. Closed out the march with 5 more burpees for the entire group. Next up, 3rdDegree beat down.
Thang 3: Bearcrawl Suicides
More partner work. This time bearcrawl suicides. Partner 1 hangs back to stretch out whatever they want. Qs orders – insert mumble. Partner 2 begins with bearcrawl to the first cone, then crawlbear back. Repeat 3 times to complete suicides. Flapjack. This one sucked.
Thang 4: The Royal Burpee
- Single Shot Jack – 5
- Double Shot Jack – 5
- Clap Burpee – 5
- Mountain Climber Burpee – 5
- 180 Burpee – 5
- Insert Fog Of War – memory (and body) fading quickly, was there more?
To end the thangs, we performed some Banana Supermans.
CoT/Numbers/Names/FNG Naming
What we learned: Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Stepping outside of your comfort zone is key. It’s how we experience new things in life. It’s how we confront our fears. It’s how we become stronger leaders. After a few good words by 3rdDegree, we tightened up our CoT for prayer.
Bullhorn: (memory still foggy)… this Wed 6/12 – 2ndF opportunity for lunch in Nashville. Open to all, hoping to get the Nolensville PAX that work downtown together for some grub around noon. Watch for more details on slack.
Post Party: 3rdDegree led Numbtucks, Staples, CheezWhiz, Stats, & TV Guide to perform a 20 burpee ante for each FNG. 6 rounds of 10 burpees on the minute, totaling 60 burpees. Aye!
Beereteeria: Altidore came through with a special drop off delivery of some Good People IPA. Cerveza Salute in full effect to celebrate TV Guide’s first Q. Also big thanks to Numbtucks and CheezWhiz for providing the traditional Coffeeteria. A good day indeed.
– TV Guide, out.
