Trip to the golf course

Leave a comment

Cars in the parking lot when I arrived. Some of the Pax had launched early to record some miles. Bootcampers began with some dynamic stretching before we strolled down the path to the golf club. Several stops with exercises before we arrived at the hilly path to the club. We each picked a boulder and did a series of exercises (curls, presses, and upright rows) while one in the group ran up to the bend in the path and back down the hill.
We moseyed to the top of the path and back down to a hilly path near the 18th green. We started running backwards when Falcon Crest accidentally ran over Backdraft. After a couple screams, he was able to shake it off. We ran around the parking lot and eventually made it back to COT.

A VQ and Lessons in Teamwork

Leave a comment

Eagle Claw's VQ!!!
WARMUP:
Eagle Claw led. Start right at COT, no mosey, circle up for:

  • 20 SSH
  • 10 WM
  • 10 IW
  • 10 MNC
  • 10 cherry pickers

Everything 4 count as usual. Then mosey over to the nearby Grace Presbyterian Church for the following:

THE THANG:
Part 1 – Ring of Fire:
Designed by Eagle Claw, led by both him and NASA
In the half of the parking lot closest to the church, we had 8 cones set up in a loop/ring, each about 15 yards apart, each with an exercise, in this order:

  • 15 burpees
  • 20 merkins
  • 20 big boy sit-ups
  • 25 LSS
  • 25 mtn climbers 2 ct
  • 20 lunge 2 ct
  • 25 LBC
  • 20 CDD

These are minimum rep counts. Each person picked a cone (with 6 PAX, 2 were left open). Do the exercise, then alternate duck walk or bear crawl to next cone.
The catch – NOBODY could move forward until the last person is done their minimum rep count they were on. Until the last person shouted "done!", everyone kept doing the exercise at hand, exceeding minimum rep counts. We all did 2 complete rounds as a group. The burpees and 2ct lunges were our 6s that kept the team together as a unit, but we all pushed together. Solid work.

Part 2 – DORA:
Eagle Claw designed, mainly NASA led. Mosey over to the parking lot behind Red Bowl, starting point was the corner of the back lot closest to Stockbridge Dr. Partner up. Run was from the start out past the RB dumpster to the end of that building and back. Exercise reps were cut due to time:

  • 50 merkins (was 100)
  • 100 LBC (was 200)
  • 150 LSS (was 300)

Dumpster did not stank no where near as bad as we expected it would! Great efforts by everyone!
We finished with a couple minutes to spare. Back to COT.
MARY:
Eagle Claw led – 1 minute of hello dollys
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Read your newsletter, get involved. If you see something that is your D2X, get behind it, EH some guys. and make it happen. Freed to lead! This is exactly how ALL of the things we see in the newsletter as well as F3 organized CSAUPs came about.
COT:
A LOT lifted up by everyone! A great COT session.

NMM:
This was designed to be lessons in teamwork:

  • RING OF FIRE: The team, large or small, is only as strong and fast as the last person in line. The team doesn't move forward as a collective group until everyone is done doing their work. You can choose to get out way ahead, focusing on personal gain, but then you leave the rest of your team behind.
  • DORA: When you are paired with someone to complete a set of tasks, you both should be putting in the same level of effort. Slacking on your part will only put more load on your partner, which over time could drive you two apart. Equal efforts keeps the partnership strong.

Eagle Claw is off to spread his wings and follow his passions at The Citadel. Thank you to all the PAX who have poured the 3 Fs, wisdom, motivations, and encouragements into him. You all have made him a better person because of it. I cannot thank you all enough. Love you all. Blessings and SYITG.
