September 1st
Well, my first VQ went well. We had a total of 21, including 3 FNG’S. I gave the disclaimer late (thanks HanZandFranz) but lived it out. The group really came together to support my first time!
Worm-O-Rama
We started with 16 Side Straddle Hops.
16 Abe Vigoda, which I mistakenly called Imperial Walkers and have no idea why…….cough…..OG……Cough cough.
Then we moseyed to the basketball courts taking a nice .75ish mile roundabout way to get there.
The THANG
At the basketball courts we lined up on the baseline and got into pairs to do buddy carries to the end of the court, switch, and buddy carry your partner back. Seeing Custer (a FNG) who is 6’5 being carried by beeper who is…….not 6’5……….. was a sight to behold. At one point, while Custer was being carried his feet were dragging on the court! Well done beeper, not many of us could have pushed through that!
Then we bear crawled down and back.
To finish up on the courts we paired back up to Wheelbarrow down, switch, and Wheelbarrow back.
Mosey to football field where we counted off in groups of 4.
We had 6 different excersizes set up. Hand released Merkins, LBC’s, Mountain Climbers, Planks, Squats (with coupons), and Curls (with coupons). Two people would perform their assigned exercise while the other two ran approx. 50 yards and back. We repeated this process for 4 minutes and then rotated groups. In between the rotation of the groups, guys took that moment to share what F3 means to them. I was greatly impacted by this time.
Then we took a mossy to where it all began.
We ended with a fun game of 21 and completed on one try. I did hear through the grapevine that Mr. Hand did not stop on time and made it past me!
