Great cool Fall morning for a beatdown. Had a handful of ruckers at 0600. Came early to get the coffee going and wanted to check out the distance of the trail to see if I should incorporate it into the WOD. The trail itself is .67 mi. Had I chose to use it, it would have been a like a .85 mi warm up lap. There is a decent amount of space on the trail if some chooses to use it and have some stops along the way for some exercises. Anyways, I digress. Here is what we ended up doing for 70 minutes.

The band work took some time, but I knew getting it all in would be a challenge. If there is a next time, I will prehang the bands. I think that wasted about 5 minutes. Glad I told everyone to plan for 75 minutes. Not a super hard work out, but definitely had to use the muscles to stabilize the variable tension. In the end, it was a nice, low-impact workout.
Awesome to see In the Can and Wilson again! Hope to see you both again sooner rather than later.
Gonna keep it short so I can watch the rest of the Cubs game. Good luck to the GBs tomorrow. Heal up quickly Al Gore!
Come out to the Hub for a couple of VQs in the next 10 days.

Great park … we had some eyes, hopefully we can recruit some men that come out early to play pickleball and/or run around the park. I wanted hard movements that you can control along w/some basics to get the heart rate up and of course include the ultimate equalizer of running. I loved the Volleyball game we played; thought for sure Team A (Peyton, Roadshow, O.G. Dr. Freud, & Heisenberg) was going to win (we had the extra player) against Team B (Bert, HHH, Pacrat, and Mongoose) – Team A was up by 6 points I believe and 1 point away from winning BUT after some back forth and having to win by 2 points – Team B came back and took the W! I believe HHH had 5 points in a row to help lead the way to the W. Good work Men! As always, thanks for coming out and getting after it. Thanks to Al Gore for the new coffee maker as we were able to enjoy on-site coffee after the bootcamp.

Wanted to sneak in a trail lap, but time was not on my side. I guess I will incorporate it next time I Q there. I will take a closer look at the playground for some ideas. The soft pad would be nice to do ground work, but it could be awkward if there are kids present.
We had preruckers and a prerunner. I think the weather kept people aways, but hoping we will have some good opportunities to EH. I plan on being to AOQ for this location, which we will call the Sauer Patch based on the talk at coffee. No need for a vote. With that said, I will need someone to take the AOQ for The Hub (Bethel). Let me or Peyton know if you are interested.
Onsite coffeeteria is nice. I think that will always be the plan moving forward. I guess we can always pitch in ang get a box of joe from Dunkin or Steam whistle and pick it up; it’s an option to keep in the back pocket. I do need to find a quicker way to make coffee though. Maybe I’ll buy a percolator and make it before the beatdown. The 2 carafes took about 30 minutes! The coffee tasted a little strong too. Sorry guys. I’ll get it dialed-in for next week. T-claps to Heisenberg for getting us sandwiches and Monkey bread from Great Harvest. I don’t think he will ever be back there after he gets his refund for the 10 sandwiches he didn’t get, but I think it was a blessing as there might have been 10 sandwiches left over due to pax leaving by the time he got back.
Welcome Red Dog and Wilson (think Home Improvement; not Castaway)! Looking forward to seeing you both on a consistent basis. Also, great seeing the Northside guys for a convergence. The extra effort to wake up earlier and drive a longer distance is appreciated.
Keep praying for the PAX and keep reaching out to those we haven’t seen in a while and let them know they are missed.
Don’t forget to donate to GingerBilly’s marathon and to St. Vincent DePaul. There didn’t seem to be a place to write that the donation is in honor of Peyton’s Mother-in-Law, but what counts is that is what she and the family wanted.
See you all on Monday at Patmos for a 10-Yr Manny celebration. Join us at Rate field on Monday if your evening plans open up!!
