Passing on Possum Trot’s torch

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

With life comes constant change and this day was no different in that it was one in which YHC knew his time had came to pass on the torch on his last day as Possum Trot’s site Q. What an incredible journey and privilege it’s been over the last year. Always excited on my arrival to see a handful of HIM standing around in a circle of mumble chatter. Planted the shovel flag, fist bumped, and before we knew it we were off on the mosey!

Warm Up: Ran out of the park across the road to the front lit side of the storage facility for a round of Good Mornings, Cotton Pickers, squatted Moroccan Night Clubs, squatted T-claps, IW, Hillbillies, and Merkins. IC x 10 each

The Workout: Mosey over to the guard rails and split pax with 6 on one side and 7 on the other for 3 descending rounds of Irkins, Derkins, & Reverse Dips x 15, 10, 5 with each side bear crawling / crab walking over to opposite guard rail for next set of the above. 5 Burpees OYO then mosey out of parking lot toward Old Varina. Stopped off at one of the short brick retaining walls for who knows how many step ups and downs until YHC was tired of the same! Mosey across the street for a BTW hold for each Pax to bear crawl under the line. Mosey over to the old Stevens Hardware entrance for a few rounds of partnered up Typewriters while partner completed squatted star jumps, merkins, LBC’s. Back out to parking lot for 11’s with bear crawls across lot of Burpees / Merkins. This quickly turned into 7’s, then 3’s due to time constraints and the time Dauber would need to make a presentation. YHC suggested since it was my last day leading as site Q that we all bear crawl back to Action Park!

Mary: Circled up for quick count off and YHC called for Pax numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 to lead us in a 10 count standing exercise for Mary. The Natural led us in Goofballs, followed by LED w/Prisoner squats, Modify w/SSH, Messi w/standing WWII’s, Fedex w/Windmills. YHC then shared that he did this for a specific reason to show future Q’s that Mary doesn’t have to be on your six or even ab exercise if he so chooses. Mix it up and lead as you are led to.

COT: YHC called out Doc to share about what F3 means to him, how he got involved, etc. and then turned over the reigns to the next site Q Dauber to make his presentation. What an incredible idea he presented to pay it forward with a gift to all upcoming RESPECT pax when they turn 50 yrs. old. Gump was presented with a gift from Dauber of a Road ID bracelet along with how much Gump means to all of us as he’s such an encouragement. His 50th will be on Monday 9-30-18 and we all sang Happy Birthday to him. Name-a-rama.

Announcements: Upcoming CSAUP event 10-20 The Odyssey at CarPex. Hurricane Florence fund raising pig pickin plates being sold at the Mill this evening. Reach out to the Pax we haven’t seen post in a while to check on them. 2nd F following today at Stickboys.

Prayer: Crablegs health, H1N1’s father coming in for the weekend from FL. Vespa’s father-in-law just passed away. YHC took us out in prayer.

Mutiny – True Grit

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , ,

Warm Up:  Nine men showed their True Grit this morning at Mutiny.  Pax included Farva, LED, FedEx, Modify, Gump, R-22, Noah’s Ark, Natty Ice, and your Q, Dauber.  Got things started before the rains came with a steady jog around the soccer field.  Circled up for SSH, GM, CP, FAC, HB and IW.
The Workout:  PAX partnered up (Q-solo) and performed a DORA consisting of 100 merkins, 200 LBCs, and 300 squats.  One partner performed the exercise while the other partner ran hill repeats to the light pole near the parking lot; most PAX kept running an extra 15 yards to the end of the parking lot.   PAX helped the six finish squats or held plank.  PAX followed Q up/down the curb to the end of the parking lot.  PAX grabbed the curb and cranked out 10 erkins and 10  Derkins.  PAX bear-crawled up the parking lot, performed 10 American hammers, bear-crawled back down the parking lot, rinse and repeat with merkins and derkins.  Frankensteins and lunges back up the parking lot, Al Gores until all PAX came in.  Ten burpees OYO.  Moseyed to the wall for B2W.  PAX crawled under each member on the wall.  PAX cranked out more LBCs on the wall and concluded with a 30 second count of B2W.
Mary:  Headed over to the shelter for core work.  Each PAX called out their favorite exercise for a 10 count.  Exercises included: pickle pounders, American hammers, Box-cutters, low-slow flutters, 6-inch counts, diamond merkins, Freddie Mercury, reverse LBCs, …  finished with stretching.
Announcements:  Recognized some great runs put in by our F3 brothers at the DD 5K on Saturday.  Loved hearing “go F3” by many folks throughout the run; really excited helping bring in Dumbo with our flags – wicked cool moment.  5Yr Anniversary reminder.  Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Natty Ice celebrating 10 years of marriage.
Prayer:  Lots of kids heading back to school; prayers for Dauber and his kid heading back to college today; prayers for Reconciliation; prayers for health recovery for our injured brothers; Message focused on raising successful kids.  Dauber shared a podcast he listened to learning that many successful kids share a bunch of things:  discipline, goal-setting, perseverance, failure – yes failure (they learn from it) and GRIT.  Grit is hard to define.  I saw 9 PAX show true Grit today, showing up with storms brewing in the distance, giving 100%, over-coming both physical and mental challenges.  As parents, our kids are always watching us.  Set the example, set some goals, give 100%; when you fail, learn from it and move on.  Grit is good.
