Counting Down from 100

WARMUP:
Quick COP warm-up with Imperial Walkers, Seal Jacks, and Hill Billy Walkers.

THE THANG:
Mosey down to oval loop in front of Springfield Middle. Near school entrance we started with a 100 reps of an exercise. We then ran (together) down to the lower part of the loop. For a portion of the run, pax had to do a moving exercise, determined by one pax drawing from a bucket ‘o pain. At the lower part of the loop, we then did 90 reps of a different exercise. Once all pax were done, we ran back to the top part in front of the school entrance (scaling a small wall that was part of the loop).
We repeated, counting down to 10 exercises. Here was the list.

100 Flutters
90 Squats
80 Shoulder Taps
70 Hello Dollys
60 SSH
55 LBCs
50 Merkins
40 Speed Skaters
30 Lunges
20 Burpees
10 Big Boy Sit-ups

We ended up skipping the lunges due to time, but we added some Bombjacks at the end, thanks to some nudging from BandCamp.

YHC had the opportunity to share my testimony and try to encourage all pax that each person’s testimony is their own uniquely, God-created, story…including the testimonies being lived out by our kids.

The mumble chatter was fantastic, as we learned perhaps a bit too much about CakeBoss’ impending first “official” colonoscopy. Thanks RainMaker for the opportunity to lead.

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.

Stop and go light or Traffic signal?

Fact: the weinke went through the washing machine as soon as I got home, it did not make it to the dryer

Fact: <@UGU3XR5RP> thought <@U5CVD8D7V> was going to be at The Fort. He was disappointed that DH did not show, he was also very disappointed that I was on Q. 100% True.

Fact: this Q is old, I left it all on the field and was sore for 2 days, but was still only 28% of Band Camp

We toured Fort Mill:
-lot across from Vet park
-The Print Shop parking lot (was hoping for a morning brew, but no go)
-Church of God parking lot
-First Baptist parking lot
-St Johns UMC parking lot
-the wall by Kimballs
-Vet Park parking lot
-back to COT

most stops were 1 exercise, various transportation across the lot, 1-2 exercise, back across, 1-2-3 exercise

We did a Jonah Hill at The Church of God

We did a Matt Foley at St John UMC

Wall work and various Jacks at the Kimballs wall

Mahktar N’Diayes were included at one stop

Bear Crawls, Crawl Bears, Crab Walks, etc

Band Camp, Cyclops and JWOW led the way. Fitness levels that I will never realize.

<@U6AS1MBPG> ran to The Fort from 6@6, participated for an hour, and ran back with 2-50lb sand bags, backwards in the snow. Beast.
<@U5RTPS4M8> ran to The Fort from 6@6, participated (ribbon TBD) and ran back
Twisty, Bass and Fogerty dressed like a stop and go light stopped in

Looks like we made it,

Barry Manilow
