SIMPLICITY to HONOR LAZARUS (F3 Memphis)

Leave a comment

5 strong πŸ’ͺ to honor Lazarus from F3 Memphis. We never met him and yet what happened towards the end of the beatdown was like he was with us.

Warm Up
Michael Phelps IC
Arm Circles IC

The Thang
We did this in a parking lot exactly how it was described by Gus from F3 Memphis. A parking lot with lines between two grass islands. Called Point A and Point B.

At Point A 1 burpee. Bear Crawl to Point B. 2 burpees. Return via Bear Crawl to Point A and add a burpee. Escalate to 15 then deescalate to 1.

A great beatdown and one that we will do again.

We had Smiley stop by at the end of our beat down. He was a maintenance worker for the City of Monterey who used to wave or briefly chat with us as he was checking out the parking lot and beach area in the early mornings. 76 years old and he just retired. A Vietnam war veteran with 3 tours. He shared words of wisdom with us. “Tomorrow is never guaranteed.”

Here’s to you Lazarus.

Perfect Morning

Leave a comment

10 strong πŸ’ͺ at Carmel High this morning. I swear someone has turned up the humidity in the area to a level I have not ever felt here in these parts. Great to see GRS back to join us after his IronMan training but it will be short lived as he’s off again in a little to train for more. Stone Colds M was on the track exercising. We picked up on of her exercises and I think it will become a regulars exercise in YHC’s routine.

Leadership… gettin’ it

Leave a comment

A few of us had the opportunity to volunteer at a car show this weekend. YHC interacted with a person there that had authority, but did not show great leadership. This person could have been a far more effective leader if they decided to share the mission of what they were doing instead of berate YHC for doing something YHC thought was beneficial to the cause. Had this person described the why they would have had much more effective leadership across the team.

4 strong πŸ’ͺ this morning for another beatdown which YHC borrowed from another persons mustard seed blast.
