Whose Birthday Is It?

Northeast Tennessee Arrowhead (Indian Trail) Johnson City

QIC-Baby

It was a tropical 72 degrees outside when 18 Pax stormed the track and hill at Arrowhead.

DISCLAIMER–Enthusiastic
PRAYER–Short and Sweet
COP
The question was asked to the Pax. “Who’s Birthday is it?”  Hearing no responses, the QIC advised “it’s Donald Trump’s birthday, but that’s not who we’ll focus on.  Today, gentlemen, is the 243rd birthday of the United States Army.”  Objective today is to take the hill above the track.  So let’s get to work.

–First Exercise:  21’s.  It’s the first exercise listed in the Exicon.  And nobody knew it.  Today we’re a Unit.  We do it together and 21’s help achieve that focus.  If you’re not familiar, it’s 21 SSH in cadence out loud to 5.  Counts 6-21 are silent and together.  Object is to end TOGETHER. If the Pax do not, there is a penalty.  We failed this morning.

Penalty from failed 21’s:  Slaughter Starter (20 burpees oyo)

Run a lap.

Reconvene at one end of the football field.

LBAC x 10 IC EW done Gutterball style on one leg switching legs for the forward and reverse.  Great enhancement! It actually feels like an exercise now.
