2ndF @ The Mothership

WARM-O-RAMA:
- @ STARTEX
  - Goofball 10x IC
  - Crab Cakes 10x IC
  - Imperial Squat Walkers 10x IC
  - Surrenders 10x IC
  - Bodybuilders 10x IC 🙁
  - Explained Thang 1
    - Counted PAX off into 4 groups
    - There are slips of paper with random exercises, 2ndF questions, and movements at these 5 locations (STARTEX, The Wall, The Stairs, The Benches, and The Valley).
      - Most of the questions came from here. I threw everything into an Excel spreadsheet and used Word’s mail merge to generate the slips.
    - Everything will be done as a group: exercises, questions, and movements.
    - Each group will pull and keep one slip and perform the prescribed number of single-count (that is, not in cadence) reps. 2=1 reps noted where applicable.
    - Everyone in the group will continue doing reps until the 6 in the group completed all of his prescribed reps.
    - Modify as necessary, but don’t sandbag or cheat.
  - Caricoa’d to The Wall
- @ The Wall
  - Demoed Wall Bridge, Wall Walk, and Wall Side Kick
  - Moseyed to The Steps, The Benches, and The Valley
- @ The Valley
  - Suckerpunch: Each group will also have a team weight that must travel with them, but does not have to be included in the exercises.
  - PAX sprinted up the hill to STARTEX to grab a team weight (ruck) to begin.

THA-THANGZ:
- Thang 1: PAX worked through random exercises, discussion topics, and movements as dictated by the slips of paper drawn at each location until 7:45-ish.
- Thang 2: The group who completed most slips of paper (9) was paired with the group who completed the least slips of paper (7) and were granted a 3 foot starting point advantage in the suicide relay race that has become a Mothership staple. Ironically, group 1 had an extra PAX so the advantage was a wash.

MARY:
- Duck, Duck, Goose: PAX held crab or high/low/side plank on Q’s command while whoever was “it” ducked & goosed (?). Whenever the duck was caught by the goose (?) the duck would have to complete 5 burpees, while PAX continued to hold the position and the goose could enjoy a brief stargaze for his efforts.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
- 5 Questions for Emotional Resilience from Barking up the Wrong Tree blog:
  - “Is it useful?”: Most worrying isn’t. Make a decision to do something or to let it go.
  - “Does the world owe me this?”: No. Don’t be entitled. Have realistic expectations and you won’t get angry.
  - “Must I have this to live a happy life?”: Probably not. It takes little to make a happy life and there are many ways to get those things.
  - “Is this who I want to be?”: Act the way you do when you’re at your best.
  - “Have I ever felt that way?”: Respond to others’ problems with compassion and you’ll both have fewer problems.
