The Ultimate, Ultimate Frisbee Tournament

Well, everyone showed up by 7:02 for the 7:00 players meeting. We did things a little backwards in case people had to leave.

Count off-Vinny Cherry…….I said count! 1 Nantan, say 1!

Namerama-1. I respect the sarcasm Vinny.

Switzer. Good job on how this works. Most people get confused. I shared a word about gratitude and how it is the outward showing of thanks. It is thanks in action. Don’t just say what you are thankful for, show it. We then covered how to play and how to play like a big boy. There were some big boy plays and reactions today so good job.

There were some good games and some not so close but none really mattered because they weren’t the championship game. Blart’s team went undefeated meeting Pillager’s team in the championship game. Wojo’s team may have been there if SA wouldn’t have gone down with a pulled meow. I thought a cracked out Gearwrench would make up for it but it didn’t happen.

The championship game ended in a tie so we headed into OT. An error set up Blart’s team within 5 yds of the end zone. A throw was made and Blart with his reach got up after it colliding in the air with J2C. Blart got 2 feet just in and held on as he slammed to the ground. The captain gave it all!

It was a fun time and we got some work in. Even Mayor who reffed with an iron fist and sharpened silver tongue. Thank you all for all you do to make F3 Gastonia successful. I am thankful for each and every one of you and I hope I can show you with more gratitude in the future.

Thanksgiving at the Pub

4 guys rucked and 7 ran on a rain-free Thanksgiving morning. Defib was able to join us and stay for the whole run, though he was on call; Nutria got a little “turned around” on the “Backwards Sargento (minus Sargento) route” ..Q fail. Thanks Haze for picking him up. Great to have Wiki at the Pub!

Last week, at Spiderman’s Redwood Q, Spiderman had to split after 30ish minutes, so he gave YHC the last 15 minutes.  Well it turns out, YHC was in the same boat this week, so rather than not Q or show at all, YHC just returned the favor.

If you want to know what happened the last 10 minutes, you’ll have to ask Spiderman.

Good to get back out to Bulldog, even if it was only for 35 minutes.  It’s a great place for a low impact beatdown.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

Owning Opportunity

5 of us got out and put in work on a great morning to get after it.  Come to think of it, every morning is a great morning to get after it.  Maybelline & Whoopee did 1000 step-ups to prep for the Chad.

At QSource, we discussed opportunity.  This is the time in the LDP where you get to own the results.  It’s also the time where other good leaders evaluate you based on the leadership you show, not your field knowledge or personality.

One golden nugget in this chapter was 8 specific character traits inherent to Leadership.  Those are:

  1. Dedication
  2. Responsibility
  3. Loyalty
  4. Discipline
  5. Integrity
  6. Moral Courage
  7. Selflessness
  8. Moral Standards

If you want to see how you stack up as a leader, have someone evaluate you or evaluate yourself honestly on these 8 character traits.  If you find yourself lacking, you know what to work on.

Another great morning in The Gloom.  Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

Members Only – QSource “Failure”

Running and rucking took place.

At QSource on 11/13, we discussed “Failure”.    The topic impressed the importance of failure on YHC so strongly, that YHC failed to post the Backblast for a week and a half.

History

Good crowd for a Monday at what I’m calling Martha’s Sandlot. I rarely make here due to my early morning work schedule so thanks to Flintstone for reaching out multiple times to get it worked in. It’s getting cold so I asked everyone to do their part to help global warming.

Warmup:

You know….some stuff made up on the spot and a few burpees

The Thang:

Only two get the blood flowing fast when it’s cold. Running and burpees so let’s mosey to the park.

In the parking lot partner up for 11’s around the islands. Partner mtn climbers and booyah merkins. Balljoint noticed several pickle pounders out there. Hate to see it.

I told the PAX about my first F3 post on 6/13/15. 21 PAX were there and out of those about 5 are still regulars. As we ran off for the next thing we discussed the birth of Midoriyama and how it existed for about 7 months before it was made official.

Mosey over to the center of the ball fields. Back in the day there were lights on out here. It’s tequila sunrise dark now. At each walkway opening do squats 10, then 20, 30, 40 and bear crawl in between.

Mosey around the ball field stopping to do exercises at each corner. 10 flying squirrels, 20 Freddy Mercury’s, 30 Seal jacks. Thats the most exercise a baseball field will ever see.

Back to the parking lot for some dirty triple nickel. Tiger squats and derkins with a burpee each time you pass the middle line.

Heading  up the road out of the park we did a burpee. Here I told the PAX about my first official Q(7 months of Midoriyama not counted) at Gashouse on 2/6/16. 18 PAX were there. 8 of which are still regulars. This would be my 216th official Q. To my knowledge I have never failed to do a BB.  We talked about how I was looking for excitement or adventure in my life when I found F3. Life just seemed to be dull and uneventful. The workouts and CSAUPS supplement that need for me. I’m currently HC’d for my 16th,17th, 18th, and 19th relay races next year(not including any we have done around here). That is all thanks to Whoopee who brought up doing the first one, the BRR.

Back at the start we knocked out 1.5 minutes worth of ab work.
