Nine PAX, including the latest FNG from the DTH Practice pipeline, posted to the Forge for something challenging – they were presented with the NEW GLORY, a more than sufficient challenge for all comers. This periodic routine, similar to the Old Glory enjoyed by NoTollers earlier this week, provides a measure of physical fitness. The goal would be to outdo prior scores/times. Since almost all of our PAX today completed this for the first time – they have established a baseline. Here follows what these SOJ heroes accomplished this morning:
The THANG:
WARMERAMA:
- Brief running tour around the NG circuit highlighting each of the 14 COP’s
- Circle up for Disclaimer and a few Warmerama reps IC
- Stretch awaiting the 05:40 kickoff time
NEW GLORY
- Complete as many rounds as possible within the 30 minute timeframe, ideally maintaining good form
- Starting point at the Shovel Flag
- #1: Complete x10 Burpees at the flag
- #2-5: Run down S.Coleman Rd to the Handicap Ramp, stopping at each light pole (x4 poles total on the right side) to complete x5 Hand-release Merkins
- #6: Bear Crawl halfway up the Ramp
- #7: Lunge walk to the end gate
- #8: Complete x20 Jerkins on the Rails
- Run up Mount Chaplain, stopping at each new paved landing to complete assigned exercise…
- #9 (Level 1): x5 Burpees
- #10 (Level 2): x10 Ball Dippers (2-ct)
- #11 (Level 3): x15 Heels-2-Heaven
- #12 (Level 4): x20 Squats

NMS: A big welcome to Alex, renamed SABLE today after his home-country of Zimbabwe’s Rugby Team – he joined us yesterday for the H.Flatwater ruck, and also did very well with the NG course today. Also GREAT work from many others who tackled the New Glory for the first time today. YHC will look to Q this again in the Summer so you all can make an attempt to improve your time, though that may be challenging for NTB and State Farm who absolutely crushed three full rounds today! 🙌💪 Keep posting fellas! YHC, DTH
