Gavel broke in his new rucksack by taking it for a spin with BOS, Whoopee and YHC. JJ, Sargento, DDC, Stroganoff, and Roscoe ran the loop.
QSource wrapped up Freed to Lead, talking about Purpose and the Third 500. D2X describes “what” men are led to do, and the Purpose helps define the “why”. We got into a discussion about “who” (but left off the “where” and “how”). JJ made a great point that we don’t always know who we are having an impact on, but sometimes you do get to see it. He told a story of a girl at Christmas that they brought gifts to, and she immediately took and put everything on. The youth that JJ was with got an understanding of how much their efforts meant and where they made their impact. Those times we get to see it further motivate us to continue doing what we do.
A lesson from Freed to Lead that I’ve always taken to heart is that of the Third 500. No scientific study here, but the 3rd quarter is often when the game is won or lost. The beginning is a distant memory and the end is still a ways away. It’s during this time that focus and attention is required to deliver an optimal performance. In our lives, the 3rd quarter coincides with that “mid-life crisis” time. As men with a purpose and a vehicle to continue to grow, it’s our duty to push on and make a positive impact on our Concentrica. One of the things discussed is there comes a time in a man’s life when he looks around for the authority that’s always been there, and realizes it’s best found in the mirror. It becomes time to step up and do what’s needed for the betterment of the group. Having F3 gives us the opportunity to know that while we are the leaders in our community, we’re not leading alone, and we have other men we can grow as leaders with and can learn from.
Discussions on Freed to Lead were great. Next up is Q’s choice at the Coconut Horse QSource.
As always, a privilege to lead.

12 strong at The Goat for a lot of bear crawls and a beatdown that went by so quickly, time expired with YHC still on Goat Island. Here’s what I remember.
The Thang:
As always when YHC has the Q at The Goat, Sizzle Suicides is up next.
Starting from Floyd & Blackies, up the hill on 8th:
We moseyed back to the bridge to Goat Island and crossed it by doing:
Then moseyed to a pole about halfway between the two bridges for the Main Event.
Piggybacking a little off what YHC has Q’d and seen this week and following in the steps of EZ Rider’s Booyah Merkins on Monday, we partnered up and did the following:
Well that’s what the Weinke said, but this went by extremely fast. Or maybe I just had to take a really long time explaining it. Regardless, we had finished Round 2 when time was running out. YHC announced that the next half round would be the last, but only Clavin and Sister Act managed to finish the half round. Time was ticking, so YHC called recover and went to get the Six. By the time we got back, it was 6:17.
As the Q who brought the PAX in late, and as a repeat offender, YHC knew it was right to enforce a penalty on himself and after apologizing for trying to push things late, announced a 20 burpee penalty for the Q (10 burpees for each minute late) to be paid immediately after the COT. That penalty was paid in full, accompanied by some forgiving and supportive PAX who didn’t have to, but weren’t going to let YHC have all the fun alone.

The Goat is one of my favorite places to Q, but I just seem to get so caught up in all the fun that I can’t get my timing right. I’ve got another chance next month, so chance to make amends.
That’s the thing about The Gloom – there’s always another workout tomorrow. If today’s didn’t go the way you want it – if you came out flat or it didn’t feel right or your head wasn’t in it – there’s another chance tomorrow to get it right.
Lookin forward to the next one.

Today was the lightest turnout that I have seen in a very long time. Maybe it’s due to spring fever and everyone wants to sleep in?
