Thang 1: Stations
Six stations:
Drag sled with 200# sandbag ~50 yds on a track around a light and up a small hill.
Bonnie Blairs (1 is 1)
Mountain Climbers (2 is 1)
Battle ropes
Step-ups
Dips
After completing the sled drag, replace the person below you. Keep this patter until everyone has switched. Complete 600 reps of Bonnie Blairs, mountain climbers, step-ups, and dips as a group.
Thang 2: Suffering on the Ridge
Mosey to Hacksaw ridge with :sled:s. 10 minutes of hill sprints. Sprint up the hill. Get back to the bottom in any manner :sled: you see fit.
Thang 3: Snowball fight
Partner up. As a pair, make the largest snowball that you can. Largest snowball after 4 minutes wins. @Framed and @Banks won.
Moleskin: About age 40 my father went through an internal crisis of sorts. He had a life-changing moment at a silent retreat. Many changes followed, but one of them was a commitment from him to learn something new every month. Two months after this retreat is when we took family snowboard lessons. I realize now that the cost of learning to snow board that is paid by your knees and your butt is greater for a 40ish yr old man than for an 11 yr. old, yet he did it and it was life giving. I find learning new things to be life-giving for myself as well.
Learn new things. Learn things that have a cost and put you in the embarrassing position of being incompetent at first.
COT: @Tortuga back in school. @Tortuga’s 2.0 on the way back to college. @Manhole and this long-lasting virus.
