Buckets (again)

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We warmed up

Went to the now famous buckets workout.

Three buckets were placed around Kingsley. Upon arrival the packs found various exercises on paper slips that were pulled from the buckets at random. The goal was to spread the buckets around so that we got at least a mile if not a mile and a half of running for the workout.

Included in bucket 1:
Box cutters and burpees
Mtn climbers and grave diggers
Donkey kicks and merkins
LBCs and dying cockroaches

Bucket 2:
Donkey kicks and squats
Calf raises and Weezy Jeffersons
Butt kickers and Peter pointers

Bucket 3:
Burpees of various counts
Shoulder taps
Lbc’s

All thoroughly enjoyed. Good news…I believe they will all continue to post at the Fort.

Many thanks to the President and CEO of gloomschedule, <@U08G28Z7E> for the opportunity.

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

10 Merkins
10 Squats
10 Monkey

Notice this will be a recurring theme and henceforth be known as the Accumulator portion.

Mosey SBJ as mentioned

3 sets of Accumulator with trips up/down the stairs in between

Brief interlude on the 5 Cs of Leadership Virtues with a focus on Courage

Partner Dora
100 Big Boys

Mosey back to WEP

Add another Accumulator
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
