HALF MERKIN MILE (Q’d by Gus)
The plan was to complete a Merkin Mile—mosey one mile, performing 25 standard American push-ups at each quarter mile interval. Sometimes plans change, and we only did half.

* mosey to soccer field *

ELEVENS (Q’d by OJ)
On the soccer (#notasport) field, the PAX lined up at one goal and faced the opposite goal.
On that end, do burpees; on the opposite end, do mountain climbers. Reps always add up to 11.
10 burpees + sprint to other side + 1 set of mountain climbers
9 burpees + sprint to other side + 2 sets of mountain climbers
. . . .
2 burpees + sprint to other side + 9 sets of mountain climbers
1 burpee + sprint to other side + 10 sets of mountain climbers

* mosey to picnic tables at Blossom Way Trailhead *

12 dips / 12 squats

Block Pass with CMU
– PAX lined up shoulder-to-shoulder, facing alternating directions, on their respective Sixes
– Pass the CMU down and back twice
Tunnel of Love
– PAX hold a high plank, flexing their backs as necessary
– One Man crawls through the tunnel, taking care not to kick his fellow PAX in the face and keeping the Gloom Horn at bay.

Ratchet Shoulder Blaster to ENDEX

Count-o-Rama (18)

Name-o-Rama

COT / BOM: The Authentic Man (1) rejects passivity, (2) accepts responsibility, (3) leads courageously, and (4) expects a greater reward.

MOLESKIN: This was the best reason to make a 700-mile roundtrip in less than 24 hours that I could possibly think of. These Men gave great effort. Mumblechatter was slow but gained steam as the Beatdown progressed. T-claps to OJ for shouldering the Q duties with me.

Coffeeteria at CFA was solid.

FNG Naming Logic
Koresh
: He graduated from aTm and is now part of F3. He obviously likes cults.
Penguin: Some inside joke about his job that the PAX seemed to really like. I think it’s a tech thing.
Pooh Bear: He would not give me anything interesting, so he got the first name in my Wheel o’ FNG Names.
Yote: His Hospital Name sounds something like “Wile E.”—like the coyote.
Shredder: He mentioned playing the guitar, and it seemed ironic given his general appearance and demeanor.
