It’s Been Almost a Year

For lots of different reasons, I had not Q’d a bootcamp since just before Christmas 2021.  I have led Q Source and Coconut Horse several times but not a bootcamp.  Several weeks ago, Flintstone asked me to finish off his Redwood tour today.  I reluctantly agreed not knowing what shape I would be in.  As it goes in F3 though, put it on the calendar and let’s go.

I was humbled to see so many show up to an AO that typically has 3 – 5 pax each week.

No FNG’s so let’s go.

Short warm-up with 10 SSH’s and 10 Imperial Walkers in cadence.

We then headed to Martha Rivers for an old school.

Field #4 for some Four Corners (appropriate as JJ was making excuses for the recent Tarheel basketball performances):

Round 1:  10 Merkins – 20 Squats – 30 SSH’s – 40 LBC’s

Round 2:  10 CCD’s – 20 Squats – 30 SSH’s – 40 Flutter Kicks

Mosey back over near the main picnic shelter for some 11’s across the parking lot:

Round 1:  Merkins & Squats

Round 2:  CCD’s ascending 1 – 10 on one side with 10 flutter kicks each time on the other side

This took us up to a few minutes before 0615 and we headed back to the start.

Short Sale led some Mary while also giving me a hard time for modifying.

COT – Prayer requests and announcements.

Thanks to all for coming out for my Kotter Q.

It was an honor to lead it this morning.

Until the next one.  Aye!

Stroganoff

The Sword 12/5/22

It was great to have the opportunity to Q this morning.

The Bible verse was Jeremiah 29:11

Prayer Request:

SA’s Daughter, Wire Nuts Daughter and future Grand Baby, plus his parents.

Huck and turtle Man.

The Bed Pan is Full!

 

Giving Back at Folsom

14 PAX on a mild December morning for a JV workout led by YHC. Gonna keep it pretty simple today, so let’s get started. Disclaimer, pledge, quick warmup and let’s go.

 

Mosey to the block pile and partner up. One partner rifle carries the block while the other does 3 burpees then runs to catch up and switch. Continue in this manner all the way to the upper parking lot at the Ag Building. Enough block work for now.

Double Dirty Merkin Ladder

20 merkins on one side of the parking lot, run across to the far side stopping for a burpee at each of the islands and then 19 merkins. Back and forth across the lot dropping the merkins by 1 each time and continuing with the burpees each time you cross the island. This took quite a bit longer than YHC had allotted, so the weinke will need to be modified. Not the first Q fail and won’t be the last.

Back to the blocks. Partner up again for some Dora 1-2-3. One runs a lap around the lot while the other works.

100 Alpo’s

200 Goblet squats

300 Chest press

Take the blocks back to the pile the same way you got them here.

 

Time is running short, but we still have work to do. Head to the tennis courts for some Walkercides. Run one court for 5 IW squats then back to start for 5 Big Boys, run to second court for 10 IW squats then back to start for 5 Big Boys. Keep it up until you’ve made it all the way across. We may have been a minute or two late getting back to the flag, but no complaints. Not any that I listened to anyway.

 

NMM/COT

About halfway through the workout I asked the PAX to consider how they would answer two questions.

  1. What has F3 given me?
  2. What have I given back as a result of what I’ve been given?

We had a good discussion on these questions and the importance of giving back. Giving back entails sacrifice and you have to give up something to be able to do it. Make the sacrifice and make a difference in the lives of others.

 

“I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.”

Maya Angelou

 

Be praying for:

Huck, Turtleman, Super Dave’s mom, MW’s friend from church, Purple Haze’s mom, Bedpan’s mother in law, military and others away from family during the holidays and all the sickness going around.

 

YHC took us out.
