The Eagle Has Landed

Maybe not exactly an eagle, but in the gloom who can tell.   It was none other than Stinky Bird jumping in to take the reins as Site Q at Neverland.   A joyous occasion with 12 HIMS there as witnesses as YHC handed off.   Neverland has been pretty consistent over the past 13 months.   A great group to begin the week.   If you haven’t had a chance to head over near the park, check it out.  There are a lot of options.   As usual, a shot gun start at 5:30 sharp.

Standard disclosures

The Pledge

Warm up – Various exercises of cadences to 13, 26, 39 and 52

Mosey down Riverwood Parkway towards Clavin’s Hill, stopping at the lights for Monkey Humpers (13 first light, 26 next light, etc, etc) At some point the Pax, began asking questions about the mulitple of 13.  What was the significance?  Only time would tell.

Stopped by the doctors office.  Broad jump to the first light, mosey back and complete 26 big boys sit ups.  Rinse and repeat x3

Mosey towards the back entrance to the park from the Riverwood neighborhood.

Stop for 13 burpees

Lunge walk into the darkness up the trail in the woods.  At some point, YHC omaha’d to a mosey.   Mosey around the back of the park, stopping at the fork in the trails for 13 more burpees.

Mosey up to the play ground

Modified Cindy – 5 sets of 10 pull ups, 20 merkins and 30 squats

Meander to the parking lot

At that point, the significance of 13 was shared.  13 months since YHC had taken over as site lead and that it was time for a new beginning.   Happy to announce Stinky Bird as the next site Q and he took us through the remained of the workout.   Believe it mostly consisted of running and some exercises at the concession stand.

Mosey back to Pelicans.  TIME

It’s exciting when there is a change with Site Q’s.   An opportunity for new ideas, energy and opportunities for others.  There is no doubt that Stinky Bird will do great things with Neverland.  He is eager and excited to contribute.

The biggest learning for YHC over the past 13 months is to witness first hand the leadership that many play to make this F3 thing work.  It can’t just be a few and this site Q experience has been a good opportunity to see the passion and commitment that many contribute to make it work.  You get out of it what you put into it.  If you are looking for a HIM experience, take the keys and run with it.

Convergence at The Yank – PRE-BLAST

Men of F3 Gastonia,

Time for our 3rd Quarter Convergence, in October!!  Yeah I know, just a little late.  Man our region has a busy schedule.  This is a good thing though, because it means our guys are out pushing the rock getting some work done.  All other AO locations will be closed.  Make plans to be there!!

Immediately following the workout, there will be a short 3rd F session from our man Broke.  True HIM in our region, and you’ll want to hear what he has to say.

No new announcements were made, just the upcoming runs. There are many opportunities, so signup for something.

YHC took us out.

There was a good bit of mumble chatter this morn, most aimed at YHC.

Yes, UNC gave Clemson a close game, but who got the W?
