The Disclaimer
If you are here, you’re out of your mind. You were warned. It’s supposed to suck, and that’s how I designed it. Do the best you can, modify where necessary.
COP
Before we got started, there were two penalties that would be assessed if caught:
1) Any Pax time a knee drops during the plank routine = 1 burpee penalty
2) In keeping with the, leader / follower relationship in the gloom – communication is not bi-directional; therefore, any hands on hips = 1 burpee penalty

YHC watched the movie Magnificent 7 over the weekend, and a line in the movie stuck out to me: “Fight the battles ahead of you, not the battles behind you”
We’ve all been through them. Battles. As we discussed, the battles in the rear view mirror have happened and cannot be changed. They can only be learnt from. To truly accelerate, you must only face and fight the battles ahead or in front of you with the knowledge gained from those behind you.
The movie quote plays into the blog post in the Q-Source by Dredd about the “King” and Acceleration:
Fitness is best Accelerated by running with faster men…
There’s no best way to accelerate. What works best for one man will be dependent on the man himself and the circumstances of time, place and age that are beyond his control. Each man must find their own best way.
But what is true for men, and all men seeking to Accelerate, is that it works much better as a Group than flying solo. Together, we pool our collective knowledge for the benefit of each individual and spur one another on to places we would never reach alone. This is the power of the Shield Lock, which is the horizontal relationship between men. Together, we sharpen each other—as iron sharpens iron.
If you want to learn how to run faster, just find a faster man. And chase him until you catch him.
