It was worth the drive

WARMUP: Olaf and YHC arrived to a lot of stretching and to Rumbling dressed in his 20 degree attire. It was almost 50 degrees outside but I guess he has the southern blood. Warmup consisted of: 1/4 mile jog or so, SSH, low slow squat, very low squat hold, couple hamstring stretches, merkins, mountain climbers, and off we went.
THE THANG: arrived at pull up bars. Instruction was 7s with bars being the top and the bottom of the hill down by the school being bottom.
Top of hill / bars: the set was, 1 pull up, 1 leg lift or knees to chest while hanging on bar, drop and do 1 burpee. That’s 1.
Bottom of hill: set was 1 lunge each side, 1 jump squat. That’s 1.
When done, pick up the 6.

Next we stayed in the same area but grabbed a Cindy. Still did 7s at the top and bottom of hill.
Top: squat thruster with block
Bottom: 4 count flutter
When done, Cindy hold over head.
MARY: yes, focus on core with abs for a plank hold, hammers, v-up. Some back with Superman and pull the cord.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Luka fast 5
COT: yes, good stuff here!

Unbeknownst to the PAX we switched modalities about halfway through. This was to represent the foundation 1 from Q-Source: https://f3nation.com/disruption.

“Because it induces movement, leadership causes Disruption”

PAX were disrupted from their planned morning workout to make sure both Qs saw all the PAX and to push them outside the complacency zone of their established routines. With the leadership, we should expect disruption and embrace it.

Leaders influence movement towards advantage. Disruption is a solid technique to induce movement.

“If a man calls himself a leader but does not cause Disruption by initiating movement, then he is not practicing leadership. He might be doing something else, like managing or governing, but he is not leading.”

It is not the goal of the new SLT members is not to manage or govern. It should not be the goal of the Site Qs to manage or govern. Let’s lead!

F3 is not an organization with leaders, but an organization OF leaders. Each man is freed to lead. The particulars of Site Qs and the SLT structure is nice, but let us not be afraid to disrupt when we have a vision for advantage.

Kermit handed 2nd F Q off to Liberty Bibberty
Band Camp handed the Weasel Shaker off to Poppins
Esso handed the Nantan Flag off to Band Camp

It is an honor to be considered a leader in the Fort. But be mindful every member of the PAX is A LEADER. Let’s all be about the business of leading.
