F3 Waxhaw Q School – 3.6.2021

F3 Waxhaw Q School – 3.6.2021

Since this was Q School this won’t be your normal Backblast. But you should read it anyway.

#DICCS
(Disclaimer, Cell Phone, CPR, Safety)

#Warm Up
No real warm up this morning. It was cold so most pax warmed up in place while we started going over what is involved in Q’ing an F3 Workout.

• #The Thang– Discuss DICCS. This is something that I’m not used to so it was nice to see how Waxhaw does it.
  – Cadence and leading an exercise in cadence discussion. It’s been a while since I’ve lead a workout so it was nice to go over it again and do it in front of a group again. #feelsgood.jpg
  – From here we went through several scenarios where mistakes were made (on purpose) and then discussions and explanations were had about what was wrong and why.Items of discussion (in no particular order):
  – Picking up the 6
  – Leading the pax when you aren’t in the lead (delegating/Instructing)
  – Planning your workout
  – Scouting and reconnaissance of the AO

Overall an extremely informative session and a nice refresher for me. The material covered will be super helpful for all those that have not lead a workout yet.

Many thanks to Chastain for putting on a great Q School and it was nice meeting so many new (to me) pax.
F3 is an interesting mix of personalities and I always find that the groups all have similar dynamics no matter where you go to workout. It’s familiar and can make you feel at home when you aren’t. I’ve been in Waxhaw since fall of 2018 but haven’t really planted myself in the F3 community down here. It’s my fault. I haven’t put in the effort and made connections with many of the pax. Everyone I’ve met has been more than friendly. It has been hard for me personally, to make the switch from Harrisburg to Waxhaw. Much like the workout, I need to put in the work. If you don’t see me around feel free to call me out here, on GM or Slack or wherever you see me.

Aye!
