COT: 2025 was tough with losing both of my grandmothers this year. It was also tough watching my parents be there for both of them over the past few years. Gave me an incredible model of what it truly means to take care of those that you love. I’m grateful for my parents and everything they give to our family. I hope to take these lessons into 2026 and care for and provide for my family, friends, community and myself with the same love and passion they have shown.

Tussle Takeover

Q: G-string , SalPal
PAX: Shakira, FLO, Siri, Motorola, Derby, Cheeks, Half Lyfe
FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
CONDITIONS: Cold and wet

WARMUP:
SalPal started off on Q. We moseyed a few laps around the park, indigenous style. The six performed an exercise (Lt. Dan’s for first time through the PAX then Burpees) before running to the front of the line.

THE THANG: THE FLAG CAME OUT!
Unbeknownst to SalPal, I had the tussle flag in my truck ready to flex its magical powers of Q-Jacking. The flag came out, was planted, and we were off.
– Five rounds
– 5 pull-ups
– 10 reverse lunges with coupon or sandbag (2-is-1)
– 15 thrusters with weight
– mosey around the playground
– Four rounds
– 10 Rows with weight
– 15 HR Merkins
– 20 Squats with weight
– Broad jump to fence and bearcrawl back
– Little Drummer Boy
– High Plank with a merkin for each “Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum”

MOLESKINE:
“Is is hardly possible for (each man) to think too often or too deeply about.. his neighbor. The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbour’s glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, it at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations.” The Weight of Glory C.S. Lewis

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– Grow School on 12/6
– Christmas party next Saturday

COT:
– Prayers were offered up.
