Toughest Mile Challenge

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

15 PAX showed to test their strength around the track 4 times. This was brutal but we all pushed ourselves and got stronger.

We started at 0515 with a few warm up exercises. Then it was on like Donkey Kong.

Lap 1 – broad jump burpee
Lap 2 – lunge walk
Lap 3 – bear crawl
Lap 4 – run

Most guys finished up right around the hour mark. We had 3 ruckers join for COT. Maybe we can do this again to see how guys improve. Or not!

COT then prayer.

Awesome job guys. Thanks for joining me in another stupid idea.

Q School – Session 1 2024

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

12 PAX for a mixer of Kenny’s Grave and Q school. Here’s a review.

Why Q school? This is to help with F3 formality (uniform) across all regions so if you attend an AO in New York or Texas it’ll still be close to the same structure.

3 main topics to cover – How to Q? Why to Q? (new exciting things) Are you ready to Q?

Sample structure for warm up with some discussion:
Disclaimer, warmup, workout (the thang), Mary, CoT – 45 mins total time, get a watch. Assign a sweeper if you have a large group of FNG’s.
Bring a Flag if you plan to Q. If you don’t have one, ask site Q to bring one.

Conduct WU and have guys take turns with exercises. SSH, Good Mornings, etc.

Be ready for CoT with announcements and prayer requests/praises

Review during workout:
Cadence Count
Form and rep count
Know your PAX limitations if possible
Site Q duties
Q sheet, pre-blast, backblast
Exicon, backblast from other regions, winky, Co-Q

Thang 1: Dora with bear crawl timer. 50 diamond merkins, 100 monkey humpers, 150 groiners,
Thang 2: Basketball court 7’s – burpees and absolutions

Thanks for attending men!

New Pavement!

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , ,

This would be more exciting if it were at Possum Trot but the track around the Kenny’s Grave baseball fields has a new coat of blacktop that makes it very easy to run on. It was so new you could still smell it. We started our lap with 4 but upon return found a bike in the parking lot that wasn’t there when we started.  Warbucks caught up not long after and, thanks to me not being able to do them, penalty burpees were not assigned.  

FNGs: None

Warm Up:

Frankensteins x10 IC

Imperial Walkers x10 IC

Hillbilies x10 IC

Willie Mays Hays x10 IC

Trunk Twists x10 IC

The Workout:

We moseyed down to one of the empty lanes of parking spaces and partnered up for dora.  Since we had an odd number I joined one of the groups and just mirrored one of those guys.  

100 jump squats

200 Imperial Walkers

300 LBC

The timer was the other partner duck walking all the way to the other side of the lot and then jogging back.  The group of two finished up first because Warbucks is a jump squat machine so they helped finish up the group of 3’s LBCs at the end.

After that it was off to the hill by the big baseball field for 11s.  Sumo squats at the top and in cadence calf raises on the fence at the bottom.  It was OYO but everyone got done at the same time anyway.

Time was running short so I modified the rest of the plan.  We started down the greenway path and stopped at the first set of bleachers.  We faced up the hill and went up doing Walk Like an Egyptian.  Line up like an Indian run and take a step in to a lunge and hold it while the PAX at the back lunge walks to the front.  Once he’s there, step in to a lunge with your other leg and continue.  We made it to the top of the hill and then moved on due to time (which there wasn’t much of).

Mary:

Heel taps x16 IC

Reverse LBC x16 IC

Announcements:

F3 Family picnic on 6/24.  Check 2nd F channel in Slack for details and to sign up to bring stuff

Prayer:

Praise for Finkle’s M for her final day at her, now former, job.

 

What a beautiful morning it was to come workout out and share the morning with you all.  It’s an honor that you come and allow me to lead you through this, truly.
