The Thang

Today, the Lions Den completed the monthly BURPH Challenge, and last night a very dear friend, our former Nantan and current Mustard Seed Leader of F3 Portland, Angus reached out. He somehow found the Backblast from his FNG post, as well as, his post for his first ever ROT (River of Tears) in Augusta. YHC felt this to be a sign for Q inspiration at Shot House. The Wildcat Crawl emerged…


Wildcat Crawl


Run a mile for time.

After the timed mile is complete: Complete the following

Round 1: 10 Burpees — Ascend Bleachers — 9 Squats — Descend Bleachers — Rinse/Repeat Until 1 Squat — Run an AYG Lap

Round 2: 8 Burpees — Ascend Bleachers — 7 Squats — Descend Bleachers — Rinse/Repeat Until 1 Squat — Run AYG Lap

Round 3: 6 Burpees — Ascend Bleachers — 5 Squats — Descend Bleachers — Rinse/Repeat Until 1 Squat — Run AYG Lap

ALL Rounds AFTER 3 are REPEATS of Round 3

Much like the ROT a point system will be applied from this point forward to help Pax track progress.

COT

[Insert any wisdom you’d like to share]
[The “COT” aka the “CIRCLE OF TRUST” is the terminating stage of each Workout, wherein the PAX form a circle and conduct Counterama, Namerama, Announcearama and the Ball Of Man.
BALL OF MAN: Congregation of two or more men in physical contact, usually (but not exclusively) in the prayer that terminates the COT. Abbr: BOM]

Moleskin

[The “Moleskin” aka the “NAKED-MAN MOLESKIN” is the portion of the Backblast in which the Q describes interesting things about the Workout that are at least partially true.]

Time

COT

Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them.

Moleskin

We were all just glad the count survived. Proof that his activity that morning were not healthy. ha!

    Congratulations! Today you’ve completed most of the personal fitness requirements to earned your Eagle award.  

    Just as I am in the Scouts, I challenge each of you to find an organization which is important to growing our next generation and then help.  These organizations should always be ran by volunteers who show true passion in it’s mission. Scouting is noble of being supported because in the 109 year history, the 12 points of the Scout Law (how to live your life) have NEVER changed. These character traits are timeless.

    I stand in front of 100 different families every August at my Cub Scout Pack and challenge parents to set aside 1 hour a week to spend with their child in a character development program. There is NOTHING I enjoy more in life than seeing that light in my kids’ eyes when they learn something new or they find new love in having fun with their friends. Don’t just drop your kids off.  Go and be there with them.  Build the relationship. This is the next generation which will impact others and our community.
