Introduction

Sticks and Stones!

Battle of the Chris’s!

It was Jellystone v. Broomstick to kick off QvQ 2025!

Warm-O-Rama

Our Site Q Old Maid led the group through Warm-O-Rama.  We did SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Arm Circles, etc.

The Thang

Broomstick went first.

Format:

Q calls exercise. After exercise, Q leads the group through SSHs in cadence, but the cadence stops at 5 and we continue in silence.  The entire group is expected to stop at the same time, at the predetermined # of SSHs, which was usually 6-9. When we succeeded, we continued on to the next exercise.  Failure meant a penalty which was either 5 burpees or a 250 yd jailbreak run.  The group hit around .500 – not bad!

Jellystone took us home. His Thang was called “Modes of Transport”:

First, we did Blocks and bears out:
Bear crawl, dragging coupon across lot.  Stop and do 3 merkins at each parking line. John Cusack back doing 3 thrusters at each line.
Second round was Burpee broad jump out, no other movement. Lunge Walk back doing 3 jump squats at each parking line.
Jellystone added disruption by asking the PAX to circle up on him to do some ab workout in cadence at random times.  Once complete, PAX then returned to where they were in workout. These exercises included Paperboys – each side, Gas pumpers, Big Boys

Circle of Trust

Jellystone shared the story of daughter’s recent bowling competition and how they narrowly lost (I think it was by 17 pins?) This loss has given her some life lessons in motivation and learning about triumphs and failures.

Broomstick discussed how F3 has multiple ways to participate, different ways of giving back and different ways to develop your leadership capabilities. There are a lot of new experiences you can have to keep F3 feeling like something new.

Naked Man Moleskin

Well, this is Broomstick submitting this backblast on behalf of myself and Jellystone.  I was fortunate enough to come out with more votes and I get the privilege of moving on to the next round.  I tip my cap to Jellystone – his workout crushed too! I don’t know how the PAX chose.  I think we succeeded in kicking off the QvQ with some FIRE!!!!!
