Introduction: YHC really didn’t have a plan for this workout.  He had taken a last minute swap on the Q Sheet, and had a few too many beers last night to do his traditional studying of the F3 exicon.  Before YHC went to bed, he laid out his trusty G-Shock watch which has the timer set to 1 minute and had planned to do a variant on the EMOM workout.  Alas, when driving to the workout site today, YHC realized he was not wearing his G-Shock.  YHC was excited to be the first of the entire F3 PAX to get his 2018 #hurricanrana patch however and realized bailing out was not an option.  YHC Got to the site, and saw OG Floyd there and got really nervous really quickly – YHC didn’t want to let OG Floyd down.  Enter the need for improvisation.

Warmup: 10 Pax ultimately came out to a somewhat muggy and warm winters day.  YHC asked the PAX if they wanted to stay on site or go down to Chubbs hill.  The lack of response either way led YHC to focus the workout only on the site.

Crockett took us out.

NMS:

Crocodile Dundee seemed appropriate today, especially because yesterday YHC was talking about he WILL wrestle an alligator one day.  Recent trip to Myrtle Beach re-ignited that bucket list item for YHC (as well as the Australian Mountain Climbers).

YHC has really started to enjoy Q’ing.  The challenge is how we help grow the PAX so that they are able to take on the challenge of Q’ing.  A way that YHC appreciated when he first started coming out was getting the chance to run the count and call the excercise during Dealer’s Choice in Mary.  YHC has tried to encourage this in his Q’s by giving as many PAX as possible a chance to lead the group. YHC believes this fits in with F3’s ultimate mission of developing male leadership.

Also was noted with Mr. Brady and Floyd that Churham has grown significantly, when they started there were not nearly the number of workouts or the numbers we are getting.  It has been neat to see the growth in Churham, and YHC encourages you to reach out to those in your life, this organization has certainly impacted YHC positively and suspects there are several other sad clowns out there who may not know it that would benefit from attending a workout.

Finally, if you have not read “Freed to Lead” by Dredd and OBT, it is a quick read, but a good read – it helped me to understand why we do certain things as well as helped me to gain the bigger picture.  My copy is floating somewhere in Churham, but YHC would be happy to buy another copy to get out in circulation – first PAX to hit me up i’ll order you a copy.
