“We have a strong instinct to belong to small groups defined by clear purpose and understanding–tribes. This tribal connection has been largely lost in modern society, but regaining it may be the key to our psychological survival.” – Sebastian Junger
Four PAX including YHC showed up for The Skinny 4th of July Celebration. T-claps to Out for Justice (aka Under Siege 2) for his 1st post in Audubon.
Mosey to the Tomato field: SSH x20, MC x20, IW x20, Peter Parker x20
Mosey to levee for Elevens – alternate Half-Burpees & Merkins. Nip/Tuck recommended jumping but it was all ground work at this point.
Mosey to soccer field by the hill. Found a nice orange cone to use after this COP:
Lunge Climbers x20 (right name?), V-ups x20, Slow Merkins x10, Squat-to-Squat Jumps x16
Mosey over the hill and plank for a battlefield exercise: sprint over the hill to field then drop and Boo Boo Bear Crawl-Left Leg to the orange cone. Due to the distance YHC modified to switch legs (and back if needed) halfway to the cone.
COP by the cone: Plank position MC x20, Plank Walk x10, Plank position Peter Parkers x20
Mosey down the levee to the road.
COP: Plank, elbow plank, One arm elbow planks: British Aggressors then Patriotic Gentlemen
Mosey to the labyrinth: 10 burpees OYO, LBCx20, Dying Cockroach x20 and Flutter Kicks x15
Back to the flag for count off, name-o-rama and prayer.
Thoughts and prayers for Nip/Tucks’ father-in-law and my father-in-law both battling cancer. Also for all of our troops abroad and struggles they face returning home – referenced Sebastian Junger’s new book: Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging
