The chilly pre-dawn gloom at the Shipyard gave way to 22 of the faithful who made their way into the cold morning to #GetBetter and remind themselves that they are there for the man next to them. Since YHC believes strongly in the #IAmThird way of living, it was YHC’s pleasure to use a workout to reinforce that fact.

Team of 4 is your squad. Also pair up inside your team. This is your swim buddy. You may never be more than an arm’s length from your swim buddy. You must always be with your team. If you are away from your swim buddy or your team you will watch while all other PAX perform 100 burpees. Your actions affect the team.

- 5 minutes of hell
- Each team performs thrusters for 5 minutes. One man works at a time and gives MAX EFFORT then hands off to next man. Keep your count. It pays to be a winner.
- The (alleged) winning team didn’t keep an accurate count of their reps, so, in this case, it doesn’t pay to be a winner!
- All teams perform 10 burpees!

- The PAX were asleep for the first little bit this morning, but YHC woke them up!
- As usual, there was little mumblechatter until YHC had to get his phone to keep track of time and was chastised for his distance from his team!
- Proud of how hard the PAX worked, keeping their focus on the reason they are on this planet. #IAmThird
- YHC noted that there are only TWO ways to defeat a man at anything: he quits or he dies. It’s easy to quit when you are by yourself. But when others are depending on you, it becomes easier to fight through adversity and not only perform, but excel. This is the result of mental toughness. Make everything you do today about the man – or woman or kid or neighbor – next to you. Forge the mental toughness today that you will most certainly need when life’s sifter starts shaking!
AYE!
