10 gathered in the afternoon haze for Defib’s inaugural Q at Midoriyama.
No FNGs so standard disclaimer given with emphasis on Q’s ignorance. Prior to start there were at least 3 trains that rumbled past the AO with Slaw complaining about not getting Burpees in so the warmup began with 3 Burpees OYO followed by the pledge. Warmup continued with:
19 SSH
16 Don Quixote
13 LBC
The Thang: YHC explained that F3 workouts were founded on the basis of a bootcamp style workout which includes a mixture of running and strength based exercises. Again disclaimer was given that I have no military experience but I did watch Full Metal Jacket again last night for inspiration.
FYI Bootcamp is spelled:
B urpee
O verhead Press
O utlaw
T empo Merkin
C DD
A merican Hammer
M erkin
P eter Parker
The pax started at the flag and ran to 8 various corners of the parking lot to perform each of these as a group in cadence. Bootcamp is notorious for continually getting harder and pushing men to their breaking point. In that vein the workout commenced with the first “week” of bootcamp 5 reps each, second 10, third “week” 15 each and final “week” 20. Mumble Chatter ensued and was persistent but tampered off when Pax hit 20 burpees. Finished with 3 minutes of Mary with 10 WW I Situps, 10 LBC, 10 dying cockroaches, and to many flutter kicks from Tool Time and finally 22 for the vets.
Time
Announcements: This weekend CSPAN will quest Q our convergence at the Yank – No Gashouse AO Saturday. Also there will be ruck at 5:30 for extra credit.
Prayer Requests – Freight shared a story of an F3 brother in Tennessee whose son (age 5) has terminal brain cancer. Pray for understanding and strength as this family has accepted God’s will. This is a reminder that we are not in control and as leaders in our community sometimes its hard to not force our will on things and accept what God has planned for us. Remember the best leaders are good listeners.
As always it was an honor to lead today. Until next time Defib OUT
