It Pays to be a 1

Leave a comment

It was a relatively warm morning at Minnow pond where 17 strong PAX met to get some miles..but only limited smiles.

Ran straight to WEP in front of the stage.

The workout:

Start with 10 Burpees

Run to the first swing along the paved path do 10 merkins and 10 lbcs

Run back to the stage do 9 burpees

Run to the 2nd swing on the path do 10 merkins and 10 Lbcs

Run back to the stage and do 8 burpees

Keep going along the path as far as you can until time.

It was here that YHC made the decision to split the pax up into 1’s and 2’s.

I was thinking I just wanted to create some space on the path….unfortunately…what happened was the 2’s were given the opportunity to run up the WEP hill pretty much the entire time.

Despite the complaints the PAX handled it extremely well.

At 5:55 we headed back to COT and got there just in time for 10 more merkins 10 more LBCs and 1 last burpee.

Thanks to Nasa for the opportunity. It was great getting out amongst the PAX this morning.

Until Next Time….

It PAYS TO BE A 1!

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.

Sprints, light poles and burpees

Leave a comment

WARMUP: mosey to the far parking lot at the end of the school.

Exercises in cadence included:
SSH
Merkins
Low slow squats
People’s chair with Moroccan night clubs
Hillbilly walkers
Imperial walkers
Windmills

THE THANG: mosey to the the hill
An exercise was called in cadence at every light pole – at varying numbers of reps – YHC called sprint and pax sprinted to the next light pole. This took place to the top of the hill and then back down – a total of 20 light poles were “visited”. PAX took turns calling exercises on the way down. Leadership is best when shared.

Mosey back to basketball courts with a combo of lunge walks and bear crawls across.

COT: remains the 5th core principle. Be thankful for all we’ve been given.

Thanks for the call, Barkley. :eye:

Got close to 2.4 miles with warmup but ran out of time and never got to stops 9 or 10.

Just like we didnt get to everything in this workout – when you cram too much stuff into your life you will not have time for everything – get your priorities straight and focus on the important stuff (apparently that was burpees and big boys today)
