601 Finals Week!!!

Leave a comment

Nice cool morning for the 4th and final edition of siteQ school. As with the other days the theme was Stewardship. In short, how are we as SiteQ’s acting as stewards of F3’s mission, our fellow PAX, and our actual Sites.

We moseyed to the elementary school where we ciricled up and asked the assembled Site Q’s what is F3’s mission. Slow Jams impressed by quickly noting it. I then challenged them all on what our credo is and what are our 5 core principles.
I think repeating what our mission, the credo and the principles is fundamental in reminding us of why we do what we do.
After a brief discussion on what it means to be a steward of our respective sites : leave no trace, be mindful of risks, plant the flag etc… We got to work. (since it is a workout afterall)
Stewardship of Site
30 second Tabata with 10 second rest 4 rounds. ( 2 shoulder 2 leg) The series is to do one rep of a “base” exercise then follow it with a single rep of another exercise and then increase reps as the time goes on. So 1 merkin to 1 tap increases to 2 merkins to 2 taps…3 to 3…4…to 4… and so on until time expires.
Shoulder Series by 1
1 Merkin to :
Shoulder Taps
Peter Parker
Mountain Climber
Hr Merkin
Leg Series by 1
1 Squat to:
Lunges
Calf Raises
Jump Squats
Step ups (if available

After I smoked everyone’s shoulders We talked about the importance of siteQ’s role in making sure both tenured PAX and especially newer PAX or FNG’s are taken care of at their sites. Meaning, picking up the 6, explaining terminology, introducing yourself to newer ppl, and ensuring we are creating a welcoming and positive atmosphere. We then got to more work. This series was focused on core so we did 1 to 4 ratio. 3 rounds.
Stewardship of Pax
Ab Series by 4
1 BBS to :
Flutters
Feet to Ground LBCS
Freddy Mercury
Hammers

After the Core series and looking at the clock I moved us quickly back towards COT but we did partner up and did a quick catch me if you can with merkins and bear crawls..up a hill. Because why not.
At COT I had us do a quick 5 burpees OYO and then got into the final piece which is the stewardship of the mission. How we as SiteQ’s can help influence the mission by how we run each of our sites.

I encouraged pax to read the detailed SITEQ guide that Fishtix put together and then closed us all out with announcements and COT.
In Lieu of a prayer I closed it out in a moment of silence and a final thought…that for all of us to remember that somebody…somewhere…is looking at YOU not only as an example…but as THE example for something. Don’t’ let that somebody down.
Thanks for coming and the opportunity!

GORUCK 101

Leave a comment

After a SL pre-ruck, YHC was 1 minute late to start… No worries – this isn’t a GORUCK event, so no punishment, right? The plan today was to teach a few lessons about GORUCK events… and how to properly train.

We got the sandbags out of the truck and proceeded to the shovel flag location. Drop the sandbags, disclaim to the PAX, move.

Coupon Ruck 1 – all PAX who have not participated in a GORUCK event grab a sandbag and file in columns of two. Need to work on that two columns thing… the Cadre wouldn’t have what we were doing… halfway to destination have PAX swap coupons.

Iteration 1: 10 minute EMOM
20 Reps EMOM, repeat twice.
Ruck Squats
Ruck Merkins
Ruck Lunges
Ruck Sit-Ups
Ruck Bent Over Rows

Quick hit about events – it’s not the smoke sessions you need to worry about… it’s the time under weight and the miles. That’s where the bulk of your training should be. Also – sandbags are “comfortable.”

Coupon Ruck 2 – Head back to start point in same fashion as before, swapping coupons halfway

Iteration 2: 10 (really 9…) Minute AMRAP
10 Reps Each, in Order, Repeating As Many Rounds As Possible
Ruck Cleans
Ruck OH Press
Ruck Back Squat
Ruck Good Morning

Finished up just before 0600. Low squats to talk NMM.

NMM:
YHC is in the midst of infant #5. And I thought I’d have learned it all by now… wrong. What I have learned is that everything is just a phase… don’t miss it. Seriously. Don’t miss it. Because you will. Whatever season you’re in – cherish it. As the great philosopher Darius Rucker once said: “It won’t be like this for long.”

Thanks Tinsel for the opportunity.

Endless streams of Omaha at BlockParty

Leave a comment

The freshness of downtown Fort Mills morning dew and mumble chatter was in the air.

An immediate Omaha was necessary, best way to do that is by running aimlessly while thinking of your next move.

Ran up the hill to the parking lot, quick fake out then continued moseying to WEP parking lot.

(WARMUP)

promised we will warm up muscle groups that we would not be using.

– MMNCs
– Peter Parker and Parker Peters
– @bandcamp like broga moves

Mosey aimlessly back up through the brick ledges where many Irkins, Derkins, Step ups, and dips have occurred in the past.

Made it to parking lot with large wall in front of pharmacy. Being stubborn or optimistic, decided to stick with the Weinke on this one but quickly modified then aborted.

THE THANG(S)

Believe this one is exicon worthy, a muscle up/toe tap Webb like exercise. The idea, 1 muscle up followed by 4 alternating toes on the wall motions increased accordingly.

Decided to break up group in half. One half start on end of parking lot and burpee broad jump to those doing the Webb. Rinse and repeat.

The mumble-chatter was growing, rightfully so, quickly abandoned mission after two rounds.

Off to the roads thinking up the next round with general direction from the weinke in tow.

Next stop, the iron cross

– start at Loom parking lot
– 25 Mike Tyson’s
– Run to 4 way stop, run up hill on Williamson st to lit parking lot
– 25 Appolo Onos (d/c in case wondering)
– Run to Fort Mill Church of God freshly paved parking lot, vandalized with chalk ( let the record show YHC did go and wash off with h2o following)
– 25 jump squats (you’re welcome battle bot)
– Run to FM town hall building (formerly comporium) on Monroe white st
– 25 merkins

Rinse and repeat

Little bit of Mary for the overachievers and COT.

MOLESKIN

The rep count was intended to enable PAX to focus on form but you can only lead a horse to water. The spring chickens gotta run, so let em run.Most got 2 rounds or almost 2 rounds with 3+ miles total.

The many leadership opportunities of Qing are invaluable, along with the ability to share a message. Discussed missionality and finding your HIZ along with helping your kids or others do the same.

It’s always a privilege to Q at The Forts premiere AO, where I have a deep gratitude for what F3 has done for YHC as my 1st AO. Thx @kermit for the nod.
