The Derivative of Pain

Preamble:

1. The typical F3 preamble, then we circled up immediately for our Warm-o-rama. The PAX that this meant we were having a 0.0 BD today. Little did they know. I hinted at a themed BD for today, and let the PAX try to guess.

Warm-O-Rama:

1. SSH
2. Week Pickers
3. Windmills
4. Imperial Walkers
5. Moracin Night Clubs

The Thang:

1. Thang 1: “Limit Approaching Infinity”
   1. Complete the following as a descending ladder, mimicking approaching a limit.
      1. 50 Merkins
      2. 40 Squats
      3. 30 Mountain Climbers (each leg)
      4. 20 LBCs
      5. 10 Burpees
      6. 1 – 30 Second Plank
      7. → then back up the ladder
2. Derivatives in Motion
   1. Partner up — DORA-style
   2. Goal: You’re taking the derivative of effort over time
      • 100 Derkins
      • 200 Big Boys
      • 300 Calf Raises
   3. Partner 2 runs partner runs the length of “a curve” around he pond, to the picnic table and back, while the other works.
3. Curve Sketching (a.k.a. Suicides with a Twist)
   1. This was supposed to be suicide style, but we were running short on time. So, we stopped and did these in place.
      1. 5 Burpees (local min)
      2. 10 Merkins (inflection pt)
      3. 15 Air Squats (local max)
      4. 20 Flutter Kicks (Alpha). Or as Irene calls them, Floater kicks, Or, as Fanny Pack calls them, Toddlers playing tickle me games. You choose.

COT:

1. Gladiator Site Q transfer is on Tuesday (6/17), plus a bonus announcement of a new 2nd F Q.
2. Irene’s daughter’s surgery was successful. Continued prayers as her hearing implant gets turned on this Tuesday.
3. Prayers for my family, me, and all the families traveling to Destin next week, for Lighthouse Family Retreat.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Always a joy to lead this group of guys, and the shenanigans you all bring on the daily. Keeping it fun, guys.

And apparently ChatGPT does not know the correct definition of the derivative. So close, ChatGPT, so close!
