Weather- 73 degrees with clear skies
Five core principles and appropriate disclaimers were given promptly at 0700. We then set out on a .40 mile mosey which included buttkickers, high knees, toys soldiers, and carioca. Pax were then instructed to grab their beverage of choice and circle up in the hockey rink which, for today, was known as the Colosseum.

Pax were instructed to pair up for the Colossum Challenge. The challenge consisted of 16 stations set around the perimeter of the hockey rink, each station had two separate exercises. Every pair selected a station to start at. Each member of the pair would do one of the exercises for 45 seconds at maximum intensity followed by 15 second transition break at which time they would switch exercises. After the second exercise was completed the next 15 second transition was used to move clockwise to the next station. YHC used a Tabata timer to monitor the intervals and keep things legit. Stations were as follows:
Battleropes and plank jacks, burpee‘s and bear crawl, plank and bicycles, balls to the wall and wall sit, jump lunges and little baby crunches, Merkens and jump rope, wall ball and roll out wheel, jump squats and jump rope, step ups and bench dips, dumbbell curls and overhead press, around the world and flutter kicks, American hammers and mountain climbers, slam ball and Superman‘s, TRX shoulder Y’s and walk out planks, balls of fire and overhead ball claps.
Thru a sheer act of benevolence and compassion YHC offered two one minute drink breaks during the challenge.
Once the challenge was completed, we set out on another mosey which was a little over half miles in distance. At the halfway point we stopped and had a set of lunges before making our way back to the Colosseum/hockey rink promptly at 0800 for COT.
COT
Circled up in the center of the hockey rink and account was taken followed by the Name-O-Rama. Omaha’s FNG was introduced to the Pax and the naming ceremony commenced. Brent Thomas was mercifully named Spinal Tap narrowly avoiding the handle “Episiotomy”.
