THE THANG:
1. Pillars of Pain
Starting at the main entrance of the school, there are several masonry pillars holding up the cover along the car rider drop-off zone. Approx 20 pillars at approx 60-70 yards distance. Fun fact: these are what inspired the Pantheon name for the AO. First round of exercise is to the furthest pillar, then a different exercise to the next pillar working your way closer to the start with each pillar in the line, so each round of exercise to a pillar gets you closer to the start.
Burpee broad jump from the start to the furthest pillar, run back
Lt Dan from the start to the next pillar, then run back
Alternate burpee broad jump and Lt Dan until done.
A LOT of burpee broad jumps! We had approx 10 minutes left, so the next thing.....
2. Ab 11's
Start at flag pole with 1 box cutters, then run to end of pillars for 11 (4ct) flutters), then run back to flag pole for 2 box cutters, then back to end of pillars for 10 (4ct) flutters. Repeat until 11 box cutters and 1 (4ct) flutter. We timed out but got past halfway.
Back to COT for a quick discussion on how you say something is just as, if not more, important than what you say. Tone, volume, body language, facial expressions can all send a different message than intended, and also spur unintended reaction as well. This applies for whether you are acting - sending the initial message - or reacting to someone. You may not be able to control anyone else's actions or reactions, but you have control over yours.
