1 Shovelflag, 2 Qs, Triple-check, and Lots of Rocks

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Jekyll started out. Standard fare for warm up before starting a mosey.

THE THANG:
Mosey down to lowest point in Kingsley area. Pax instructed to “chose wisely” from the pile of quarry rocks.

Together, pax did 3 rounds of 3-sets of exercises:
– Curls
– Overhead presses
– Tricep extension

Q stick handed over to OldBay where we moseyed up to shopping center stairs (near the hotel) to find instructions for “Triple Check”

Pax form groups of 3. From each group, 1 pax does a wall sit, one an exercise (listed below), and one runs around the shopping center building (including up the stairs). Once all pax in the group had done all positions, moved on to the next exercise. The exercises were as follows:

1. Merkins
2. Heels to heaven
3. Seal jacks
4. Box Cutters

Times up! Head back to COT.

COT:
Shovel flag hand-off from Jekyll (co-founder of Dawn Patrol) to YHC. Big shoes to fill, and honored to have the opportunity to lead at this amazing AO.

Courage is alive at Dawn Patrol

Leave a comment

Let me start by saying the weather is fantastic right now. Honestly, it perfect F3 weather. Warm enough to build up a sweat but lightly chilly enough to not sweat too much.

Nonetheless, YHC was honored to Q the DP. It was the second day of Q duties for me so there was a rinse and repeat option but I decided to leverage the area around WEP and do something a little different than yesterday.

WARMUP:
Cherry Pickers x 10
SSH x 30
Merkins x 10
Stretch
Windmills x 10

Mosey up the hill towards Sweet Baby Jesus stopping at the first stop light

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Read the newsletter; Be involved

COT:

All Pax shared examples of their courage. Interestingly enough, many included opportunities given in F3 which I found interesting and exciting. We are a leadership group, exhorting men to grow as leaders. That requires courage to dismiss fear and other worldly things. Let us not forget this.

Prayers for:
– KJ
– Davis new job opportunity
– Untangling our identity from work
– Grace to demonstrate courage when everyone else is fearful
