Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH. Cherry Pickers, Merks, Rebel Merks, Diamond Merks, Imperial Walkers, Nightclubs, Squats, Honey Mooner, Downward Doggie, Windmills, Mosey…
THE THANG: Keep it simple: Mini – Ladder – start at 5 reps w each rung in ladder adding one rep ( 6, 7, 8, and 9) 5 Bomb Jax, 6 Diamond Merks, 7 Big Boys, 8 Donkey Kicks, 9 Seal Jax!
Next up – some 11s ( that Bass couldn’t wait to get started )
We started top of the hill with Bobby Hurleys then moseying down around the bend and up the Hill to a spot so close to the starting point ( other side of road) and knocked out Plank Jax to keep the math working…
Called an audible half way thru to assist with the hill climbs and descents- finished out the 11s on a flatter area of the entrance. Almost infringed on the Minnow Pond parameters ( but who was measuring the total ground covered??)

MARY: 4 mins of Mary completed with a solid use of Heels to Heaven by Gemini who challenged the Pax up to a 15 count ….when the mumblechatter began after passing the standard 10 count! Nice work by all!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Yes!!
COT: Prayers for Geraldine who was being comforted at Hospice ( prayers for Slash and family), Family ( teenagers for ChickHawk), health and fellowship as we head into Summer.

Today we discussed our roles as leaders. We are to step up when others step back. It may be leading a group at work, leading a workout in F3, or volunteering to take the kids to practice. Leaders do what is needed, when it’s needed. TClaps to Battlebot for leading the Armory site for over a year. As counterculture as it is, he stepped out of his leadership role to allow for a new man to step up. TClaps to Naked and Afraid for being that HIM.
It is incumbent upon us to help with that transition – to support our new site Q by volunteering to lead a few workouts and to show up each week. In F3, we lead on a rotating fashion. We are a group of leaders, not a group with a leader. We lead where we can and find a man to replace us when he can do it 80% as well as we can. That’s what leaders do.
Well done, men. It was a pleasure to share the Gloom with you men.

Aye!
