Ran a new route. Launching from Blue we ran to 160 down Dobys. Right on 160 up to Kimbrell. Down Kimbrell till it dead ends then left back onto Dobys. Run back to COT. 5 mile route
WARMUP: I showed up 2 minutes late because no one pre-ran with me. Since I was warm the PAX were instructed to stretch or do whatever while I shared about me. Simple things like my name, kids, job, etc. Its amazing how so many forget those after we name someone. During my time of sharing Bandcamp was preforming uncomfortably close SSH.
THE THANG: Crazy 8s at the Forest Creek baseball concession stands. 8 figure 8 loops with a different exercise each time passing through the middle. Viewers choice on the exercise, only rule is cant repeat the same one twice.
Then we did some 50-75-100 running where I once again proved I’m the fastest in the Fort
Closed with a dance off. If you know, you know
MARY: Hail
ANNOUNCEMENTS: We have to many fricken blood drives around here

WARMUP: Some guys preran a few miles
THE THANG:

6 of us for the 101 edition of Q School. Oddly enough, Lighthouse is the only PAX in the entire Fort region that needed Q School 101. 4 veterans also shared the wisdom. It was a bit of a bizzaro world, I get out to a couple 100 workouts a year, but there is only one new guy, and ZERO PAX who feel they need to hone in on their basic Q skills. Well done, nothing to learn hear. Go back to your knitting.
1. basic warm up with imperial walker, hillbilly walker, LBC, hello dolly, low slow squat, OH clap, shoulder taps, merkins
2. 7s with BB sits and jump squats, with bearcrawl 1/2 trans mode.
(Rebel was recognized for his jumping skills)
3. 2 rounds of Assassin suicides, 5-10-15, BB sits, merkins, squats AND gas pumpers, shoulder taps, calf raise
4. Mahktar N’Diayes, Kneetar N’Diayes (or course)
5. circled for some practice cadence calling with Lighthouse
Observations:
-BandCamp is a big fan of backblasts
-Squat Jumps should be re-named, maybe Squat Baby Bunny Little Hops
-Site Qs required to attend Q601 are generally grumpy dudes
-Basso was not in attendance, Rebel and Fogerty missed him
– We have an excellent Q101 doc (see BandCamp)
Q101 wisdom nuggets
-clear disclaimer
-new guy inquiry (a new guy does not know the term FNG)
-be aware of the abilities at your workout
-a longish run can be taken in chunks or destination stated for slow guys
-5 steps in calling a complete exercise
– keep it simple
-keep it moving
-keep it familiar
-clear and easy instructions
-10ct for moderates (and old guys)
-don’t Q it if you can’t do it, or aren’t going to complete it (ie calling 50 burpees and you half-a$$ 12) (really)
-practice cadence
-promote your Q, knowing what I am waking up for and where I am going is half the battle and very motivating
-I like to give no more that 3 exercises verbally per instruction, my small brain can handle 3, more than that? on a board, or chalk it
-don’t chalk MONKEY HUMPERS in a school or church parking lot
-prepare a weinke
-steal a weinke
-review a weinke with a vet
-COT
-count
-name o rama
-record (at least verbally so you have the names for your backblast
-announcements
-prayers
-WRITE A BACKBLAST
-don’t stress on all this, you can do the life and death stuff when you get crunching your excel spreadsheet at 9:04am
Thanks for hosting Fogerty
Thanks to Solid State for being my first instructor
Thanks to Rebel, Bandcamp, Fogerty and Birdcage for adding bits of knowledge
Looks like we made it,
