23 PAX participated in a field trip to the birthplace of III Pillars, St. Paul Christian Academy. Q instruction was cloudy at times, but the skies were clear and the coffee was hot!
QIC: Princess Aurora
PAX: Bicentennial Man, Cowboy, Cunning Linguist, Detox (FNG), Dr. Rupp, En Fuego, Gables, Grisham, Harbaugh, High Flyer, Howitzer, It’s Just Lunch, Moneyshot, Oatmeal, Pumpkin Spice, r/Eddit, Red Tees, Silver Medal, Sooner, T-Cell, Tater Hole (WL – Hickory, NC), Toothless
THE THANG:
Moderately brief welcome and mosey around parking lot with moving disclaimer on the way over to the field for COP:
- SSH x 14
- LBAC x 12 F/R
- SnL Squats x 10
- WMH x 10
Just like St. Paul, today’s workout was built on three pillars:
Academic Excellence
How do we measure our knowledge attainment in school? With tests, of course! So YHC gave the PAX a test of their own. In this case, a modified version of the Army PFT. PAX partnered up for administration of the following:
- 2:00 Max Push-Ups
- 2:00 Max Sit-Ups
- ~300 yard shuttle (10 x 30 yd shuttle run for time)
Test complete. Everybody passed. Barely.
Passion for Christ
Galatians 6:2 ESV: Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Our next segment was inspired by the above verse, and PAX divided into groups of four to complete 200 Burpees as a group. Plenty of huffing and puffing, but lots of teamwork to pick up the six and see that all reps were completed.
Leadership Development
Our final segment took us to the bottom of Bernie Hill off the side of the track. While one PAX performs Crawl Bear/Bernie up to the gate, another leads the PAX in Mary exercise of choice. Next man up picks his replacement leader and so on until time.
Mosey back to flag for one burpee and COT.
MOLESKINE:
Welcome to FNG Chad Elkin aka Detox and Tater Hole visiting from Hickory, NC. It was an absolute pleasure to lead the crew at this AO. With some who had not yet experienced III Pillars at SPCA and several Kotters on hand for the workout, the energy was high and the reunion was sweet. Looking forward to more workouts with these guys and involving even more SPCA dads.
BULLHORN:
Michelin Man on Q next week!
PA out.
