On June 1, 2017, yours truly Q’d for the first time on a gloomy morning in Lenoir. Hundreds of workouts, 1000s of Merkins and LBCs, a couple of injuries and 2+ years later, I was tasked with leading the last workout as the Master Q of the Den. It’s really amazing how far this group of men have come since that day, where 10 burpees was unheard of, but also with how we have all come together as a group.
Enough of the sappy stuff, here’s the thang: as a homage to that day long ago, I brought back out that Q that I first lead….
Warmup
- SSHs
- Imperial Storm Troopers
- Windmills
- Humpies (just for Deuce)
- Arm Circles (forward and backwards)
Mosey to the big hill leading to William Lenoir and pair off for Burp-back Mountain. 1st PAX Bernie Sanders up the hill while 2nd one starts the burpees. Run back down and switch off. AMRAP to 100. (everyone loved hearing the quantity…)
Next indian run up the hill and find a back wall of the school that will not set off the alarms. There we assumed the wall sit and completed 2 sets of Muhamed Alis, Joe Fraziers, and Bus Drivers. In between there was a break for Itsy Bitsy Spiders. After 2nd set, we held the wall sit and each PAX took a turn running to a random object and back at YHC’s discretion.(apologies to Bizmark for the 7 mile journey to the dugout)
Mosey to front of Hibriten and line up in parking lot for the Animal Walk. Each PAX would travel 5 spaces as the animal named would. Frog hop, Bear crawl, Duck walk, and Crab walk. 10 Merkins in between each animal.
Next mosey back to AO for 3 minutes of Mary(ran short on time). Started with 20IC Monkey Crunches (AKA dying cockroaches). Then finished with 20IC Crunchy Frogs(AKA coccyx killers).
COT:
James 1:5-8 – If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
These 3 things were written by me as notes for that first Q 2+ years ago:
- Doubt myself leading fellow F3 brothers
- Doubt my resolve to continue this workout
- Thru Him, all things are possible
I honestly don’t know where I would be without my F3 brothers. I am a better father, a better husband and a better Christian for being a part of this great group these last couple of years. I can’t wait to see where it leads me in the future!
Babyface out!
