  • CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
    • Anything worth doing will usually require more than your individual effort.
    • Willingly subjecting yourself to difficult Completely Stupid And Utterly Pointless (CSAUP) activities like this one makes you stronger, more resilient, more unstoppable.
    • CSAUP activities condition us to put mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
    • Call for support when you need it; don’t be too proud or wait too long to call for support.
    • Prayers offered up for:
      • Phat Pat’s Dad to come to know the Lord.
      • Soybean’s mother.
      • Dirty Deeds.
      • PAX to become stronger and more resilient.

 

  • MOLESKIN:
    • Welcome Handy Manny!
    • Kotters to Leonardo!
    • We started off with 3 tables. Even though Phat Pat was the first to say we should grab a 4th, it was my idea to add it 😉
      • PAX had the brilliant idea to flip the tables to make them easier to carry.
      • While we sent 4 men off to pick up the 4th table, the remaining PAX were punished with an extended set of Derkins.
    • Pain retains learning. I will not forget these lessons:
      • When leading a large group like this, it is a good idea for the Q to remain out front to give leadership and direction. This might be obvious to others, but this was learned the hard way.
      • The last Indian Run fell apart badly and it was my fault. I should not have:
        • called for the last set of squats (which put us in a time crunch)
        • run ahead for my phone for the COT (which was unnecessary)
        • attempted to beat Phat Pat at a footrace, which he swiftly won
        • gone over time (which is a big no no).
      • The order of closing out a workout: count-o-rama, name-o-rama, FNG naming, and COT.
    • I had more festivities planned for a second lap. Those have been locked and loaded for a future bootcamp. Though probably not my next Q.

 

  • ANNOUNCEMENTS:
    • Service Project this Saturday (2/3/18) 7A – til?
      • Come instead of or after the Mothership workout. Track along in the GroupMe for more details.
