While preparing for my first Q, (VQ in F3 vernacular). I was initially thinking of ways that I could inflict pain and cause intense suffering take it easy and provide a solid workout to the PAX that so begrudgingly posted. Then I realized that these men are not here for a cup of tea or just to “workout”. They’re here for a F3 boot camp style workout. It’s why they showed up. It’s why they show up at 5:30 am on week days while most people are still dreaming of being fit. These men are here to live that dream! Which takes on another meaning than just working out. So the beat-them-down-in-order-to-build-them-back-up mentality kicked in and I went with it to hopefully fulfill that dream and so it goes…
Is anyone CPR certified and willing to place their mouth on another man’s mouth to breath life into them in the event the need arises? Yes
Is anyone carrying, on their person, a working communication device that is capable of contacting emergency services if the need arises? Yes
Each of you is here of your own free will. No one coerced or otherwise made you come to this place and participate in this activity.
I am neither qualified or capable of diagnosing injuries. Modify as necessary for your individual fitness level.
You cannot sue me, F3 or Nesbit park.

Warm Up
Mosey up to Kensington Elementary Bus parking lot (the long way around) then circle up for stretching
The Thang:
“Hey Carb Load! What are those cones on the field”? I guess you’ll need to come to my next Q at Commitment to find out. Damascus was asking about partner carries earlier and I was hoping to oblige. Maybe next time D!
3.4 miles covered. Many calories burned. A lot of grumbling chatter. Mission Accomplished!
30 PAX (Rubbermaid brought the flag and did a trail run and way to push to get ready for your 50k) including myself posted today. Great work fellas and thanks for sticking with me.
I hope all of the PAX got what they came for and left feeling like their time was well spent. I heard a lot of chatter around the rep counts being variable and not easy to remember as well as the fact that I chose to do the work on wet grass rather than a parking lot. Maybe it would have been better on a parking lot, maybe not. Adversity and how you handle it is a good measure of a man. Though there were many complaints, everyone stuck to it and completed the “exercise”. I am thrilled that I finally was able to step up and lead this group of fine Men. Leading leaders is always easy because great leaders are even greater followers.
